The Do-Nothing Republican Congress

by: Zappatero

Sat Sep 15, 2012 at 08:30:02 AM MST


Our Do-Nothing Republican House is getting ready for a two month all-expenses paid vacation from work.

While on vacation, Scott Tipton, Cory Gardner, Mike Coffman and Doug Lamborn, Do Nothings all, will be ignoring the following bills:


1. Violence Against Women Act re-authorization.
2. The American Jobs Act.
3. Tax cuts for working families.
4. Veterans Job Corps Act. Who could oppose hiring more veterans as cops, firefighters and national-parks workers? Who could be against helping veterans apply their military training to earn civilian occupational licenses? Republicans, that's who.
5. Sequestration. Frankly, I say let the damned Bush tax cuts expire and let the Pentagon budget be subject to cuts that are long overdue. We do not need and can't afford our current Military-Industrial complex. And let the Bowles-Simpson B.S. be banned to the ash heap of history.
6. Farm Bill.
7. Wind energy tax credit. Do we need any more proof that Republicans hate workers and hate the Middle Class? Colorado's farmers are true entrepreneurs, are the backbone of rural small business, yet are being ignored, punished, driven to destruction by continued Republican inaction.

And don't forget the Senate, where Do-Nothing Republicans have filibustered and blocked numerous Democratic policies, even ones they had previously supported.
