for people. Thus voting to repeal the ACA 54 times and Benghazi.

for a while, to figure out that a vote for a con is a vote for death...

plain and simple

with our present day civil rights and environmental protections.

"take our country back" to the policies of the 19th century.

They want to take so much of it back that everyone but them and their cronies are poverty stricken to the point of being serfs. Far too many in Washington DC see politics as a path to wealth and power rather than being an honest servant of the people that want prosperity for the whole nation.

The idea that it's the Tea Party tail wagging the Republican dog is debatable. The way the Republicans have been operating over the last three years, they haven't made much of an effort to repudiate the Tea Baggers or distance themselves from that special brand of political lunacy.

Other than that, Pocan's statement is spot on. I wonder if anyone in the popular media will pick up on it? There seems to be one particularly juicy point that even the chucktodds can understand: The current Congress' output versus the infamous "Do-Nothing Congress" of 1948. The 1948 Congress looks positively frenetic compared to Boehner's stewardship over the House.

Exploitation pretty well captures it. For the privileged few who have successfully gamed the system for the past 35 years, "freedom" has become their go-to word meaning, "We want our privilege cast in amber, never to be lost. The only acceptable change must tilt things even further in our favor."

History teaches us that it never ends well for the exploiters. Our efforts are as much about saving their miserable, worthless carcasses as it is in moving toward a more just, equitable society.

--shit in the reservoir and personally execute anyone who looks at you cross-eyed.

That takes care of both Bachmann and Palin!!

Freedom - in GOP-speak - is as honest a phrase as "Americans for Prosperity" is about aiming to make all Americans prosperous.

... It means freedom from having things done TO you.

Saw that on Twitter the other day.

-----------------

In Boehner's case.

Props to Mr. Pocan for his statements.

Bad

What's so bad?

it's worth repeating!

These clowns held a meeting while President Obama was being innaugurated, vowing to block anything he tried to do. The FIRST time he was sworn in. What do they think THEY were elected to do - the people's business. They have done only the Koch business, ignoring regular citizens. IF Boehner EVER sobers up, he will owe apologies to us all for the damage he has done, with the help of his cohorts. $$$ definitely trumps a vote it seems.

And if that's what they mean they are correct.

you know it

And maybe we voters can turn into a class action countersuit! If we don't want to wait until November that is!


rocktivity

What happened???

Oh, yeah. Benghazi!

the bidding of their corporate masters and screwing with women's bodies.

TOD

which were conveniently found on Repigs hard drives have been mysterious found and I fear that GOP fear something ugly made pop its ugly head and further expose them what they are which in my opinion is not patriotic.

Thanks for the thread, babylonsister.

Now that's what I call going on the offensive! Keep exposing those dirty bastards for the lazy money sucking slobs they are.

"We, the People"should sue these lazy representatives. They were elected to do a job, which they do not do. All they have done since President Obama was ELECTED by the citizens, is disrupt, waste time. Why should taxpayers be saddled with their medical coverage and pension plan? DEFUND these millionaires, let them pay their own expenses. If not for us, Cheney would have croaked long ago, instead of being all over the TV insulting the President. His snarling face is sickening.

appeared on the ballot. Thank Rep. Pocan for telling it like it is.

So far, he's a chorus of one. Who's going to remember this the day after tomorrow?

Won't members of Congress have to sign on to this individually (and not in their capacity as elected officials)?

Are there not penalties for filing frivolous law suits?

Could a counter-suit be filed to recover legal costs?

If these individuals will not stand behind their own actions in regard to this "civil" suit, they need to be called out as the cowards they are!

Yeah, just like Clinton insisted on using Presidential powers as a Democrat, Obama has taken it to the next level of outrage for the RW loony-tunes, and keeps insisting on being President, not only as a Democrat, but while Black(!), and you know, doing stuff. For the people.

This scene always comes to mind when I picture Boehner running meetings. Just substitute a bottle of scotch for the secretary. Can I get an "Harumph"?!

The entire republican party is a neanderthal joke....We should just abolish them.

And he was fascinated by the games and cheered on the USA
