Hmmmmmm is that . WATERS. BOXER . Pulloosly?

Waters, that's a whole nother can of worms. I've been drunk many times, but not THAT drunk

President? Republican candidate? Who in their right mind would even want the job??? The media has taken over this campaign anyway, they won't need a Republican convention as Fox News will make the selection! The media is now doing their magic act, you know, divert the audience's attention from the real issues and exam everyone with a microscope until you find some issue (or non-issue) that can become the latest red hot number #1 scandal on the 5:00 news!!!! And all the time this is going on our do-nothing til after the elections Congress continues to do what they do best----nothing!

What continues to really bother me, is that both sides continue to play the "blame game" and nobody from either side of the aisle has presented anything that looks like a solution to our current economic crisis!!!! When will possible solutions to the ISSUES and PROBLEMS facing this country become what the politicians deal with??? I guess we will have to be content with dirt digging and name calling til after the November elections, hope there's a country left by the time these idiots get around to looking for some solutions!

Oh yeah, here's another issue they could take up;

Homeless Veterans
Published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, September 2009
This fact sheet examines homelessness among U.S. veterans. A list of resources for further study is also
provided.
BACKGROUND
Far too many veterans are homeless in America—between 130,000 and 200,000 on any given night—
representing between one fourth and one-fifth of all homeless people. Three times that many veterans are
struggling with excessive rent burdens and thus at increased risk of homelessness.
Further, there is concern about the future. Women veterans and those with disabilities including post
traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury are more likely to become homeless, and a higher
percentage of veterans returning from the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have these
characteristics

Welcoming all of our most recent vets home from the war, all the flag waving, etc. is really great.......I just hope we don't forget about them after that!!!!

Only a 1069 days give or take a couple since the US has had a budget.

why would they do that ....nobody to make them do it they just sit on there a$$ and colect paychecks.

The notion of a "do nothing congress" is a ruse designed to benefit the President. Could all of Congress do more? Depends........sometimes their doing nothing IS a benefit unless you're one of the zombies that believes the government "should take care of us". The House HAS passed a budget, it's a do nothing Senate that hasn't passed a budget in over 1000 days..............but of course who controls the Senate? That's why all of Congress gets the blame. And it's not a blame game to point that out, it's a fact.......big difference at decision time. Just like diagnosing an operating problem in a car. If you don't diagnose the cause accurately you'll chase all over looking for a solution and your odds of being wrong are much higher. The Senate Majority leader's desk is a black hole for legislation that the Pres and he don't like, but instead of honestly debating it before changing or rejecting, it gets dumped in a drawer, never to be seen again.

So, from this we should assume that all Democrats are bad, and if we had a Republican President and a Republican controlled congress all of our problems would be over????

I don't get it! I thought writing laws to the benefit of the country was to be done in either a bi-partisan or compromise manner, but now it's down to one party is all good and the other is all bad???? I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, neither party has shown me anything they are trying to do that will make things better for the entire country, millionaires to minimum wage folks.

Weren't the Republicans in control of things when this whole mess started years ago? Now the Democrats can't fix anything, so we're to believe that the Republicans can fix everything???

Business as usual in our government for the last few decades has only convinced me of one thing, that a bi-partisan approach to writing and supporting legislation for the good of all and not for that parties biggest financial contributor is terribly out of style. I guess now we have to be for one party or the other, and not just for the individual, regardless of party. who has some sort of solution he will attempt to convince his colleagues is for the benefit of the majority????

As with most everything, our government these days seems to be all about control..........

You can assume what you want, but if you reread what I said, there was not direct commentary that Republicans would solve all the problems. That doesn't change the fact that, using Dave and Mike's commentary about a budget, it's the Repubs that are doing what they are supposed to, the Democrats are not. You won't fix THAT problem by saying both are at fault. Again, as regards the budget, it's not all of the Congress, it's the Senate. If someone is predisposed against Repubs it's a dodge, that's my point. It's the same bogus deal we will be fed for the next 8 or so months. We're told over and over, though admittedly less in the past year or so, any number of statements that start with "The eight years of Bush...............", as if Congress doesn't play a roll. And almost nobody challenges those statements. Never mind that in 4 of those 8 years Bush had to deal with a fully Democrat controlled Congress. Now, with a Dem in the WH, we're told that the President is practically powerless because of a "Do nothing Congress", even though he had overwhelming majorities of Dems for 2 of the past 3 year, and only half of the current congress is Repub. Gee, if we take that seriously, maybe the current guy should call the former guy and ask him what the secret is to being a dictator that doesn't have to deal with Congress. That's my point, not flacking for one party, it's that the story and the national dialogue changes as to the source of the problem, which in tern influences elections. That of course is why it's done. Dismissing it as a "Blame game", or something to the effect of "Oh, all politicians are crooked" is willfully avoiding the responsibility to discern what the real activities are. THAT is what leads to decisions based on party loyalty, not individual ethics, performance, integrity, and the rest of the things that folks claim are important.

The premise that our Congress is doing noting is absolutely wrong, We spent a couple of hours last week with our 20th District Congressman, Chris Gibson and he has well assured us that they are working, that over 240 bills have been sent to Harry Reid for Senate action and vote and have disappeared into that 'black hole'. Many of those bills are actually bipartisan, and that reached across the aisle, which is what our president has said he is promoting.

i'd rather they do nothing instead of doing it wrong. around my place when i run out of money i stop spending. but the green weenies are going to do everything possible to get that clown reelected. then he can show his true stripes . only hope will be if the republicans can have enough stroke to neuter him for 4 years.

I watched part of that debate last night.... if that and the current administration is the best we have for 2012, we could be in a heap of trouble!!!!!!
