GOP House Majority Already Breaking Their Promises

The GOP hasn't been back in control of the House for a week and they are already violating their promises they made in the Pledge To (White) America  and the Tea Klux Klan.

They campaigned on cutting $100 billion in spending, and they're backpedaling away from that faster than you can say  Citizens United.    They promised to read the Constitution, but conveniently forgot to read the sections that dealt with my ancestors.        

The first one,  the "three-fifths compromise," counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for purposes of counting population for apportioning congressional districts.   The second one they skipped dealt with runaway slaves - if they escaped to a free state, the Constitution required that they not be freed but rather "delivered up" to their owners.

Then there was the embarrassing revelation that two Republican congressmen skipped out on their swearing in ceremony to be at an event in the Capitol Visitors Center and all the tapdancing they tried to do around the Constitution in order to claim that Pete Sessions (R-TX) and  Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) were legally sworn in.

The Constitution says you have to in the chamber and sworn in by the Speaker of the House to be a congressmember.      Way to bring honor to and follow the Constitution GOP.


Then there was the action the GOP majority undertook that just disenfranchised people in DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and other US territories.   It just stripped their delegates who represent these territories of their committee voting rights.

Can we get to November 6, 2012 and the presidential election year as soon a s possible?   I'd rather have Speaker of the House Pelosi back.

Hey Dr. Harris, Where's My Universal Health Care?

Dr. Andy Harris was one of the loud Tea Klux Klan voices railing against the health care bill during that contentious debate in 2009.    He rode that wave of white working class anger at the Democrats all the way to a congressional seat in Maryland's 1st District..




So as the freshly minted Republican congressmember from a district  that he won in large part because he was a one issue candidate pledging to repeal the health care bill,  what question was first and foremost on his mind at the congressional orientation?   

Where's my government health care, and why do I have to wait 28 days after I'm sworn in on January 5?

 Dude, where's those free market solutions you advocated last year?

And BTW, the 'free market' solutions don't work if you don't have the money to pay for them.  

According to an unnamed congressional staffer quoted in Politico, Harris stood up at the meeting "and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care."

Do what the rest of us without health care coverage do, Dr. Harris.    Don't get sick.

You only have to worry about it for 28 days and you have a government job    What about people who don't, and to who the 'free market' solutions you espouse obviously aren't working? 

But then again you've already revealed that you're just as selfish as the Republicans already residing inside I-495 and you'll fit in perfectly with them.

I was wondering how long it would take for the Tea Klux Klan reps to show their true corporate colors and confirm what I suspected about them a long time ago.  They are typical white privilege wielding, racist 'do as I say and not as I do' Republifools.

And once again, as they have done over the last 150 years of United States history, the lower middle class low information white electorate allowed themselves to be bamboozled by their lies of their upper class peeps and Fox Noise.

They once again on November 2 voted for people who will enact policies that benefit only upper class white people at their expense.  When those policies bite them in the behind as usual, they'll blame it on the Democrats, the party that's trying to help their clueless azzes.

Dr. Andy Harris, I have a question for you and your Tea Klux Klan friends:.

If government run health care is good enough for you to gripe about not having for 28 days, where's my universal single payer health care?

Damn, is it November 6, 2012 yet?

Republican Woman

This is a song rewrite that I wish I'd come up with that I stumbled across while looking for some YouTube video.   It's rapped to the tune of 'American Woman' and skewers all those crazy Republican women we all know and loathe.

Enjoy!
