Re: Left-Wing Tools
When he was on the campaign trail in '08, B. Hussein Obama made a promise that the general public would have "five days" to review important legislation on the White House's Web site before he ever signed it into law. Keep that in mind whilst you read this:
The whole health care reform -- er, health insurance reform -- thing is rapidly coming to a head. Two Members of Congress, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) and Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA), have sponsored a bill (H Res 554) in response, which mandates that Members of Congress spend 72 hours cogitating upon "non-emergency" bills before they actually vote on the damn things.
Right up Obama's alley, right?! WRONG!!!
Walden and Baird didn't get nowhere when they tried to push their bill through official Congressional channels. Thus, they were forced to present their bill to the whole House of Representatives in a "discharge petition." (Just so you know, you folks who slept through Poly-Sci, when a majority of U.S. House Members - 218 - put their name on a discharge petition, it automatically gets a vote, no matter what.)
Walden and Baird's "discharge petition" is getting lots of attention, just as it got lots of co-sponsors (both Democrat and Republican). What it ain't gettin', however, is any closer to passage; and one can only wonder WHY President B. Hussein ain't puttin' his full weight behind a bill that MORE than what he promised when he was on the campaign trail. (Looks like yet ANOTHER in a LONG line of broken Obama promises, n'est-ce pas?!)
All that said, here's a question that needs answering:
TN U.S. Reps Steve Cohen and Lincoln Davis (both Democrats) co-sponsored H Res 554; but why have they (STEADFASTLY) refused to affix their names to the discharge petion that'd bring said bill to the floor of the U.S. House?!
Sorry, folks, but I asked that question already knowing the answer. Cohen and Davis haven't signed the H Res 554 Discharge Petition because, well, they're both left-wing tools who do whatever the fuck House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (America's Number One Left-Wing Tool) tells 'em to do.
So there.
