Republicans saying one thing and doing another. Imagine that.

Are you new to Washington, Elena?

I would like to see Harry Reid make more of an issue of obstruction - but I don't have much hope.

First, if he announced it to the media; and then the "anonymous" obstructor was questioned - we may see less of this in the future.

I see the attack on the anonymity of this as key to ending this practice.

Another approach might be to see how many senators would pledge not to use anonymous holds - if they don't like something, then let them say so.

Don't know who it is but I know what he is a COWARD!!!!

Newsflash

Republicans don't tell the truth

We're going to have to get used to the Republicans tossing roofing nails on the road to a better America. That's just their manner.

This is the gang that tried to spend and give away all the money in the Treasury just so they could tell the new President: "Sorry, we're broke; can't do anything now. Maybe next year."

So the Republican obstructionist strategy is this: Cornyn objects to Hillary's being approved by the Senate, but then he votes for it and somebody else votes against it.

And these two ya-hoos say they're holding up they environmental picks, but it turns out it's someone else. When the vote is taken, they'll probably vote 'aye' and someone else will vote no.

And then there's Lindsey Graham. I'll willing to wager good money that he's going to back Eric Holder all the way up until the vote is taken. And then he'll find a reason to vote against Holder. But, no, he won't be obstructing. He'll just be doing his job, my friends.

This wouldn't bother me so much if the Democrats hadn't been so crappy when they tried to do the same things.

Cornyn. Big John wants to make a name for himself. I picked out "*sshole" for him.

and when Obama's policies succeed and his appointments become successful, with Cornhole and Barasshole take credit for it the way McCain took credit for the GI Bill passing that he voted against?

I was just in Houston. Big change. When I was there in September, all the TV stations in hotels and restaurants were on Fox-TV. Last weekend CNN was on everywhere. Maybe there's hope.

John Cornyn is not universally loved in Texas like Kay Bailey is. I think he is trying to stir up his base for his re-election campaign next year. Frankly, I think he is producing a few sour notes and not propping up his campaign, given that the country really wants to let President get going and try to solve some of these problems we're facing.

The GOP can get more honey by working hard on the issues at hand, productively, even as the loyal opposition rather than being unclear about why they are doing what they are doing and seemingly using the old politics. I expect them to disagree but I also expect that they are not sneaky and add value to the debates about issues.
