(90,411 posts)When the GOP-dominated "Congress" won't get off its collective fucking ass and get back to DC to WORK, and DO THEIR JOBS (because they'd rather stay out in the hinterlands, campaigning for themselves, cashing big checks from koch and company, spreading hate, and badmouthing everything that our President has been trying to do)? Um... you need to be railing against the republi-CON Congress.
Those guys who hate working Monday through Friday as Nancy Pelosi MADE THEM DO when she ran the place. Oh NO! They have to have Fridays off and Mondays off, and maybe they'll give us an hour or two on Tuesdays and Thursdays when they're either on their way back in or trying to get outta there for another long weekend? Trying to spread fear out there among the public - anybody remember some dude we called "FDR"? Anybody remember one of his signature statements - about "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" ? Fear! Fear! Fear! Be AFRAID, America!
Frankly, I REFUSE to be afraid. Especially if the lindsey grahams and john mccains and the scott "IDIOT" browns their ilk are all talking about how we MUST be afraid? Then I REFUSE.
I agree with you about the warmongers and the MIC.

He should go ahead without 'em. FUCK 'EM. He's been trying to get these assholes and weasels and Sore Losermen to play ball ever since he got to the Oval Office the first time, and they've refused. Every time he's extended his hand, they've spit in it (or worse - just change the letter "p"
. So FUCK 'EM. And not just on this. America's got work to do, problems to solve, and roadblocks to MOVE OUT OF THE WAY (like all the poor-sportsmanship poster children and human hurdles in "Congress"
. Including this. Including everything else, too. And by now, I say - leave 'em all behind. Do it yourself, Mr. President. I'd rather you NOT do all that much over there on this particular subject, frankly. But get something done, Mr. President. You're the only person we can really count on to get anything done and say anything but "no" all the time.
Okay - flame away!
