Yet we're paying for that. Nice, big fat salaries, $140K/year, plus super benefits. Thanks, Speaker Boeher - wouldn't want actual Congressional work to interfere with your golf game or your lobbying on the floor of Congress, passing out checks from oil companies.

The GOP was elected to help the economy and jobs, and so far have nothing but two failed bills, trying to achieve big government control over other people's lives, to show for it.

I'm surprised you support that type of big government interference and control, Dell - I thought you said you were small government?

And then there's Boehners huge mistake yesterday, and again today, of calling for votes the wrong way, and not having enough votes to renew the Patriot Act. Surprise! You guys don't have a clue what you are doing!

The fact he's got you so upset is indication enough for me that he is doing a heck of a job.

BTW I support big government/control interference as in the attempted block of Obamacare. I also trust that fight will continue. As will the fight to cut rather than spend. This shown most recently by the State of WI refusing Obama's high speed rail money that would have constructed a line from Milwaukee to Madison. The fiscally responsible, newly elected, GOP Governor had research showing there weren't enough potential passengers to make it economically feasible (maintainance costs would have been the State's) and in effect would have been a 'party train' between UMAD and UMilw, Marquette etc. He sent back the money to Washington and instead of re-depositing it in a crackhead like manner Obama sent it to IL. Guess that Rockford-Galena trip is more popular than I thought.
