Are Republicans shooting themselves in the foot by complaining about Congress not getting anything done?

Question

A poll on polling report.com asks Americans how much they feel Congress has accomplished since 2006. 65% responded by saying not much at all...fair enough..they are right....when asked who they feel is responsible for that, 51% said President Bush and the Republicans in Congress, only 25% said the Democrats in Congress. By complaining about Congress, Republicans are hurting their own party more than they are the Democrats.

Answer 1

And the funny thing is that this Congress has already accomplished more than either of the last two.

Answer 2

there's a catch phrase...which you will hear repeated over and over leading up to the election... "the democrat led congress_________".... fill in the blank. As if the 47% Republicans in congress are just along for the ride. Fact is it' takes cooperation on both sides to get things done. However, even the bi-partisan bills are being vetoed, because of political BS. It gives Bush a chance to say..."I'm disappointed in the Democrat led congress_______ " fill in the blank... No matter how many Republicans also supported the measure.. For example the SCHIP legislation, which was also bi-partisan, Bush vetoed and pretended as if it was just a Democrat soap box issue...

Fact: Not a single veto when Republicans held congress.
Fact: Not a single signature since Democrats took congress.

Partisan politics gets in the way of progress.... Nothing gets passed in an election year. Especially with a veto happy nutbag with a grudge against Democrats in the White House.

Answer 3

Republicans aren't complaining at all about Congress not getting anything done. The less a liberal congress accomplshes the better of the country will be. What their criticism points out is that the Democrats have put forth no particularly good legislation, or that they have loaded up potentially good legislation with a lot of bad legislation, i.e., some deplorable spending add-ons.

Answer 4

I filled out a poll where I gave congress horrible marks.
The poll never once asked about my feelings that Republican obstructionists is why i was giving them bad marks as a whole.

I say let em keep reminding people that Republicans aren't allowing democrats to do what we elected them for last election.

Answer 5

it is one in all those uncommon themes that splits the two events down the middle. Neither one desires to touch it everywhere close to an election twelve months, and that i think of with sturdy reason - in simple terms examine out the bitter anger coming from the two factors in this. In Washington, doing no longer something is often safer than doing something, and that's doubly real in even-numbered years. So i do no longer think of that could be a foul circulate for them. Heck - they could no longer settle on what to do besides - Bush agreed with the Democrats!

Answer 6

Anyone who has seen a press conference with Nancy Pelosi can clearly see why nothing is getting accomplished. She's a twit and an oreo cookie has more leadership presence than she does. When the Speaker of the House is a clueless and incapable, you can pretty much expect that not much will be accomplished. She sets the tone and well, I don't really need to say much more about her, her words and actions speak for themselves.

Answer 7

No I don't think they are shooting themselves in the foot by complaining about congress. Lets face it, we are paying congress to do a job whether it is getting done or not, and right now that job is not getting done well enough to satisfy most Americans.

Answer 8

Understand the truth of the matter... we have a one party government with 2 clearly defined factions. It does not matter which of the two factions within the party you support. It no longer matters because the Bildeberg Group controls our government in the interest of pursuing their own agendas. Our government is supposed to be a reflection of We The People, and it should be in support Our agendas. Instead, our government expects us to be a reflection of them, and support their agendas.

Does anyone not remember the smokescreen in Florida during the Bush/Gore election? Who is the governor of Florida? and who is their Father? Or the fact Kerry so graciously 'conceded' his run for office near the end? Bush and Kerry are both members of Skull and Bones... a chapter of the Bildebergs in America. John F. Kennedy Televised his speech about secret societies in America... and was assassinated shortly thereafter.

The simple fact here is that our votes no longer count and the Electoral College does not represent We The People either (it is also bought and paid for by the Bildeberg Group). It is a clever facade to keep us comfortable in the illusion that we actually have a choice in the matter. The next US President has already been bought and paid for, and I can assure you that person is not on the side of We The People.

When you consider that several members of our government (like Hillary Clinton and Rick Perry, to name two, and believe me, there are many others) have been witnessed attending Bilderberg meetings in secret with other foreign heads of state (which is considered an act of Treason) it should give us all a strong cause for more than just concern.

The bottom line here is that our trusted government is a puppet regime guided and controlled the globalist elite. They are manipulating more than just America. They have already engineered and and finalized the European Union, and I can assure you they have no intention of stopping there. Already, our current President has signed documents that effectively Eliminate the United States, and also elminates the most vital aspects of our constitution, and also grants the office of President sole jurisdiction and power. Power to inflict martial law upon the American People among other things. This was done without the consent of Congress. Keep in mind, Prescott Bush, our current President's grandfather aided in funding Adolph Hitler. George Bush, our current president's father asked America on national television to forgive the Nazi war criminals.

These emergency camps that FEMA is building around the country are not for emergencies. These are Interrment Camps (concentration camps) where the Government intends to depopulate the US.

Has no one noticed all the cameras going up on our Highways and our neighborhood streets? Or that your vehicle tags and inspection stickers now come equipped with RFID Chips? Or that every Legal Immigrant must get a new Green Card issued (one equipped with an RFID Chip).
Do none of you realize yet that the new drivers licenses and US Passports will also have RFID Chips, as will the "Real ID" when it is passed into law? For that matter, most of us already carry in our wallets bank cards and credit cards that have embeded RFID chips in them. Some Companies now require their employees to have RFID Chips implanted in their bodies (on the hand). I can assure you that these companies are arms of Globalist Elite controlled companies. Who do you think pays Verichip Corporation to do what they are doing?

If it has a basis in FACT it is not propaganda.

At this point in time, we all have the choice to be the blind sheep that follow on command and submit to their hypnotism and programming, or We can stop living in fear of losing all we have as individuals and start thinking as a free society with a common interest...protecting our inalienable rights. The thing everyone needs to realize is that if we continue to blindly follow as sheep, we will lose it all anyway.

Time to Wake Up to the reality of what is truly going on here.
Fear can be our Strength... or fear can be our weakness.
When the Grip tightens around Your Family's throats, what will fear be for YOU?

Answer 9

Both parties are losing all the trust of the American people. The democrats ran on a policy of ending the War in Iraq, and cowardly refused to stop the wasteful spending. The republicans have a President with terrible judgment and lies. Its hard to know which party is the worst.

Answer 10

The public has seen that anytime the democrats come together to force something through, the republican president vetoes it, and the republicans are too weak to stand up to him and override the veto
