Poll question: Who thinks Boner will keep Pelosi's 5 day house schedule?
Does anyone remember how the GOP had a 3-4 day house schedule under Hastert?


This is my first poll - please be kind!

1. Well...
During times like this if they do go back to less than 5 days it will really piss off a whole lot of voters, and that won't be good for the republicans who "say" they want to fix the economy and create new jobs for those who are unemployed! Of course what the people "really" want has never been part of the republican agenda!

2. Considering how much they hated Pelosi's 5-day work week
I'd say that they will probably *try* to reduce her "anti-family" schedule somehow. They're probably even having Lutz do focus groups on how to spin it as we speak IMHO. :eyes:

3. Since the 'publicans don't really give a shit about doing anything,
a 3 day week should be more than enough to do it...Leaves plenty of time to collect bribes...er, I mean contributions...from lobbyists, plus time for drunkenness and hookers. In other words, business as usual in DC.

No wonder they hate Pelosi so much - she made them show up for work 5 days a week!

4. With all the hard work he and the repugs had to put in for 2 years he'll
drop it to 2 days or a day and a half.

5. What, and let it cut into his busy golf schedule? Horrors!
A five day work week would put a serious crimp in Agent Orange's personal time, perfecting his burnt orange glow and golf swing, doncha know.

6. Go back to Tuesday-Thursday Club
That's what they were for many years, at least since Reagan. I don't know what it was like in the 70s.

7. The first time he's hung over, the scheduled will get trimmed.

8. If the thugs wants to go back to 3 day workweek, fine
but their salaries needs to be cut and benefits removed to reflect the current situation.

10. Between the tanning bed, the golf course and the cigarette machine.....
..... he might opt for twice-a-month sessions.
