OOOhhh, another sternly worded letter to Boehner from the Democrats. I’m sure that means we will never see such shenanigans again… Quit with the letters and petitions etc. Get in front of a camera and make some noise, EVERY SINGLE TIME they do this.

I can’t believe what cowards the Republicans are. They are afraid of my little snatch. It hasn’t EVER hurt anyone. It is quiet and behaves itself in public… What’s there to legislate?

I would like to see a law that says no riders can be added that does not address the specific bill it is being attached to. Of course, I’d like a Ferrari and a pony, and I have better chance of getting those than of Congress policing itself.

I’d bet the bill is already loaded down with abhorrent riders and provisions, so I guess it’s good to know at least one outrage won’t be written in.

Didn’t Eric Cantor quit Congress like 5 months ago? I think your file photo is showing.

Bravo to you! This is the way it’s done. Interact. Call. Get involved. Vote. It all sounds so “dated”.

Maybe that’s why Granny and Gramps consistently outvote people who are 1/3 their age.

It’s 2014 and the GOP is still against contraception, thinks it is, at best, an evil to be endured rather than a public good. Think about that.

…but they hate the thought of children in peril crossing the border into safety.

Protect the fetus

Abandon the child.

It may seem “dated”, but I think there is power in letting these a’holes know what we think about them

Ooops, that’s obviously an old picture – Iago Eric Cantor is no longer a member of the club.

Yeah – I should have read down through the messages before I posted my own comment to that effect.
