New house, etc.

Just to give you an example of the new Republican House: Rep. Sessions (R-TX) & Rep. Fitzpatrick (R-PA) were at a fund-raiser when they should have been at the swearing-in ceremony for the Congressmen. Evidently, they didn't think it was important enuf! However, they did vote on something or other which is against the Constitution as they weren't sworn in! Another however, the 2 of them (idiots) say they watched it on TV and when they were all swearing-in, they (as they watched it on TV!) put up their right hands and swore in. Yes, this is true! That's what they say they did. How dumb we all are! We could have put up our right hands and swore-in and we would all be Congressmen (or women!). GIVE ME A BREAK! This is an example of the new Republican House.
In addition, the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) said yesterday that if the Health Care Plan was repealed, it would end up in costing the country $230 billion from 2012-2021!
Now, the new speaker, or rather - the new weeper - said, so what? He doesn't believe that. So be it!
I mentioned the other day about Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN) who really looked good, most likely planning on running for Prez with the 50 or so other Republicans who are planning to run for Prez. Well, I found out a little about him - he was Bush's Budget Director and it was him that was instrumental in pushing thru the Bush tax cuts for the rich! It was on his watch that the deficit doubled!!!!! Now, do we want him for Prez? I don't think so!!!!!
Sec. Gates yesterday said they will be cutting back on $$$$$ that was going to be used for defense. They were getting these amphibian boats for $l4 billion, that are used to take a beach! We haven't "taken a beach" since WWII!!!!!! God knows how much $$$$ is being wasted in this country and all they can talk about is to cut social security & medicare!!!!
One more thing - Michael Steele - who is fighting to keep his job as RNC chairman, was quoted as saying "they were the best of times; they were the worst of times" which, (he said) was from his favorite book, "War & Peace" ! Now, most of you know that is from Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" . Needless to say, Mr. Steele was quite embarrassed!
I will leave you w/that thought!
