Super Congress: Super Failure

Well Surprise, surprise, surprise. The White House and congressional leaders had thought that by empowering the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction with broad powers to sidestep the traditional congressional quagmire, the panel would somehow be able to craft a "grand bargain" that trimmed Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid while perhaps raising taxes on the wealthy and cutting the defense budget. Oh no, no, no....EPIC FAIL, EPIC FAIL! What genius came up with the idea that 12 people could accomplish what 535 people couldn't do?

The Congress that somehow, this Super Congress would be adults and do what they couldn't do and actually LEGISLATE AND GOVERN. What did the gang of 12 morons fight about? Bush tax cuts. Again with the same crap. Democrats want them to expire before they'll accept deep cuts to entitlement programs. Republicans have been insistent on lowering tax rates further. The elderly, then, have Republican recalcitrance to credit for the continuation of their benefits.

Instead of the 12 members of the super committee writing landmark legislation in backdoor meetings that is quickly rammed through Congress, public policy priorities will be determined by the American people in the upcoming election. None of these people care about the human cost of sitting idly by while they wait for the 2012 elections and the electorate are too dumb to understand they are being manipulated by the people they elected to help them.


 This so called Super Committee was ridiculous to start with in the first place due to the fact that it gave the US Government a 4th branch of government, which is not dictated in the US Constitution. Of course the 6 GOP members have taken the Opal Ring oath from Grover Norquist, promising never to raise taxes ever, country and government be damned. Democrats are prepared as usual to negotiate, i.e. totally capitulate and give Republicans what they want with a custom hand job. They had signaled they were prepared to extract savings from providers in Medicare, thereby invalidating every talking point they had ever made about Paul Ryan and the Republican's wanting to kill Medicare.

Set fire to the rain!

The world has seen what is painfully obvious, we have a failed political system in this country. There is nothing in this country that should make any of us proud. If you are an elected of official, you especially should hang your head down in shame. You are a disgrace to the American people. Then again, we are the one's to blame for electing these fools in the first place. Everyone knew and could see from the get-go that this Super Committee was a joke and doomed to failure from the start. Congress and the Super Committee gave us what we expected..­..NOTHING!­!! I can't believe we actually pay our members of congress. I can't get a real job or health insurance but these inbred monkeys get on TV, have government run health care, cars, per Diem's, assistants, ipads, and have the nerve to pontificate about the needs of ordinary Americans. What we are witnessing is the slow death of our US democracy as well as another example of the death of common sense in this country. Actually it died years ago...It really is appalling that we don't have any REAL leadership anyone can feel good about. This country is led and governed by a bunch of bought and sold losers. They had no incentive to succeed, they get their government welfare check no matter what happens to us. Let Rome Burn!


What would happen to the average citizen if he/she sat at their desk and produced absolutely nothing for months? The person would be jobless, ho­meless, and broke. Unless they are an American politician and say "Jesus" , and "No taxes", the requisite number of times. Do I get a refund from the federal government come tax time for paying their useless salaries? Everyone loves to bash so called "entitlements" like it's a bad thing. I worked since I was 16 and when I lost my job, I needed my unemployment, every dime. That was money that was taken out of my check since I was 16 and that was money that I was entitled to. Theoretically, I should be able to claim funds from the time employment years since I was 16 until now which about 15 years. We allowed ourselves to be brainwashed by the Bush administration, the Tea Party morons, and America's need of Imperialism and Voter Apathy.

Un Super Congress

These morons were given one job and one job only and they couldn't even execute that correctly. The members of Congress, and only the members of Congress are responsibl­e for our mess..Congress spent the money, and gave everybody a tax cut during a war...I know that was a boost to the economy from the Twin Towers and the tech crash, unwisely given, but completely unpaid for. Congress has not taken any responsibi­lity for their insane run a way spending, remember the bridge to nowhere?. They deflect the issue to President Obama, the poor, unemployed­, gay, women, kids, Hispanics on and on....

Congr­ess, you group of parasites,  stand up apologize to the nation, if you have any honor and get down to real work, instead of the daunting task of reaffirming our National Motto, but do what you what you were elected to do and create....jobs, jobs, jobs.

Congress Reaffirms America is Stupid

Once again Christohol­­ics use the law and taxpayers money to reference their god in public.

The Republicans have been holding hearings on groundbreaking issues that will get this economy back in running order, *snark*. After the assault on abortion and the redefinition of when "life" occurs, Congress has decided to pick up the banner of declaring our National Motto so that the entire planet can know just how stupid our elected government officials truly are.

The House on Tuesday passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the national motto. THIS? This is what Republican­s feel deserves their attention instead of creating jobs? Is this the US Government or a Middle School student council?

The measure sponsored by Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., supports and encourages the motto's display in all public schools and government buildings. It was approved 396-9, with 2 abstentions.
Forbes said the resolution was needed because President Obama had once called "E Pluribus Unum" the national motto, and the Latin phrase meaning "from many one" was engraved in the new Capitol Visitors Center until Congress ordered that it be corrected. Yeah, that is a terrible sentiment that we are "one nation" that must stand together in times of adversity. The message is only appropriate during 9/11 memorials or other National tragedies used for political gain. Fascism in America will come  wrapped in the flag in the shadow of the cross and once again these people are going full steam ahead with this foolishness. While officially, E Pluribus Unum isn't our national motto, again, it's not that big a deal where a "resolution" has to be taken and a grand pandering gesture taken to manipulate the dumbest among us.

Category 5 Moron Michele Bachmann and other members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus piled on weeks later, penning a letter to Obama chastising him for his alleged failure to the use the word "God" and "Creator" more in his public speeches, especially abroad. How about she uses more words than "Obamacare" and "one term president". Well, she will be a no term president and may be she can pray the gay out of her husband. Rule of thumb: POLITICIANS THAT TALK ABOUT GOD ALL THE TIME ARE FAKES. RELIGION BELONGS IN CHURCH NOT IN GOVERNMENT. Sitting in a church pew doesn't make you anymore a christian than me sitting me in a garage makes me a car.

 Boy, I'm really glad they got THAT accomplish­ed! I was losing sleep over it.

I wonder how many legislator man-hours that consumed?  

It's as if they think that by these shallow acts that they will somehow get brownie points in when they get judged, even if they continuously vote to harm the socially weak, elderly, poor, pretty much everyone the Bible stated that Jesus tried to help. The founding fathers were explicit in their desire for the United States to be a secular nation. They work in the capital, how this is missed on them is beyond me. If you can claim to be religious then you don't have to actually be religious, that's the GOP motto.

In which god do we trust? Here are some candidates­:* Shiva
* Zeus
* Chalchiuht­licue
* Pachacamac
* Yum Caax
* Ron Hubbard
* Mohammad
* Rah
*Amenhotep
*Isis
*Anubis
*The Flying Spaghetti Monster
*Mammon

Of course, we all know that the right-wing house means the christian god, to the exclusion of all others.

Since the First Amendment prohibits a state religion, congress cannot dictate which god "we" believe in. This right-wing resolution is an affront to the many good, moral Americans who have no religion at all and at this point, they are more palatable to deal with than these insufferable ass clowns that want to start a theocracy/ dictatorship so long as they're the dictator and they have the "right" religion.

How many jobs did this lame brain resolution create?  When did God become a job creator? According to the Bible, Quran, and most religious texts (depending on the church you go to), Jesus was a liberal, bleeding heart, dead beat, who was a convicted criminal and was executed after a fair trial. He was poor because he deserved to be poor, he only hung out with guys, so he more than likely was gay, or he got busy with a whore and had a secret family. Theories abound...

What does this legislatio­n do to create jobs? We're supposed to pray to God so God will pay workers a living wage to build our bridges, roads, and infrastruc­ture? Is this like how we are supposed to pray to God for a miracle when we are faced with a life or death situation and we can't afford life-savin­g health care? I wonder who are the 9% that actually supports this Congress?  Just like the prayers, the money will come from thin air I suppose. Maybe the hope and wish life insurance plan is what it will be called. Just pray and hope and wish the prayer will get answered.

It's on our money....w­e get it...we know it's the national Motto- we don't need to reaffirm it- what is this, church? A church where the pastors send text messages to his parishioners of his junk or molesting the staff? Being shaken down by displaced pimps that use the phrase, "Give God his money." It seems church and Congress have a lot in common.
 We have more important things that need to be done- this is insanity!

Please wake up America- LOOK AT CONGRESS- what are the flat earth republican­'ts doing about jobs?

Reaffirming our suddenly important motto, Banning federal funds for abortion (that were already banned) over and over again, DWARF TOSSING??? (wish I were making this up).How long are we going to allow the do nothing republican­'ts to insult our intelligence­ while people are hurting and desperately looking for work?

I thought these guys campaigned on JOBS! Has there ever been a House that wasted more time on not doing ITS job? From reading the Constituti­on out loud (which apparently many did not quite comprehend­) to fending off attacks that no one is making, to trying to legislate morality on a national level while preaching states' rights--th­is batch of right-wing Congressme­n are making the US the laughingst­ock of the industrial­ized world.

What's next? Reaffirming the American flag has only 49 States in order to remove Hawaii, thereby effectively removing Obama from office.

I gotta admit this Congress has been highly effective at accomplish­ing one thing: reaffirmin­g my extreme disgust of religion. Congrats ladies and gentlemen, job well done.This resolution gives new meaning to one of my favorite quotes, "God is dead and Man killed him."

Hey Congress, you may trust in god, but he does not trust you, and neither do we.

Jeff Sessions, The Magical Elf and His Aversion to Reality



Snuggly Jeff

Alabama heart throb and vile lisping piglet also called “top ranking Republican” on the Senate Judiciary Committee has made a new delusional claim about the debt ceiling debate debacle. "My view is then to try to force the Congress — through votes and shaming, I guess — to have a budget," He must be looking through the lens of beer goggles... The typical budget process involves Budget Committee hearings, amendments and much public debate. Along with much public pandering to the lowest common denominator, lying and seeing who can out christian the other for the upcoming election cycle.

"Frankly, a public process, using the regular order of the Senate, would have resulted in great pressure on members of the Senate to do more (spending cuts) than we did, and that, of course, is why the majority leader didn’t want to do it," Sessions said.
"He (Harry Reid), did not want a public debate because he felt he would lose a public debate." Right...since 80% of the people were and are on the side of the Democrats on this so called non debate.

Past debt ceiling increases have been all but routine, but fiscal Conservatives and a nutless White House afraid of primary challenges used this one to leverage Democrats into accepting steep spending cuts. "I think the amount of spending reductions that was achieved probably is close to the most that could have been achieved as part of this process," Sessions said.

Sessions, however, voted against the compromise deal. By predetermining certain budget figures, he said, the agreement gives Democrats a way to continue avoiding the standard budget process. "Six senators aren’t going to be able to meet somewhere and reach an agreement on the back of a napkin. It’s just not going to happen," Sessions said. But it's ok to propose a budget that was so indescribably stupid that it could've been written on the back of a napkin by 6 people.

Sessions called the federal budget deficit a "deep, systemic" problem, adding that it’s "the dominant issue of our time." Caused by whom? Sessions has been in the Senate since 1997 and has raised the debt limit with little trepidation during the Bush administration 7 times. He and his party ran up the national debt with the Bush tax cuts, invading the wrong country, occupying Afghanistan, we still occupy Germany, Asia, and many other countries that we haven't had a coflict in since oh say 30 to 40 years, building bridges to nowhere, Medicare part D, and TARP. Obama, the Kenyan Muslim terrorist who's parents had the foresight to fake a birth certificate and a birth announcement so he could be president of the US 50 years later, they apparently talked to the oracle at Delphi, added 1.7 trillion to the debt, and NOW, we have to worry about the deficit. Well, Alabama, we never learn anything, we keep reelecting these lizards. Good grief, Sen. Shelby was Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and Bachus Chairman of the House Finance Committee. Look where that got the Nation...

"We should not have any tax increases until we stop surging spending and start reducing wasteful spending," Sessions said. Of course not, because that's who pays for your re-election misinformation campaign commercials of you eating hot dogs, singing in the choir, drinking lemondade at the picnic and smiling with the sun shining behind those big pointed troll ears.  The tea baggers that dress up that foolishly support you, are busy worrying about keeping the job they have or finding a job.

Sessions did rule out more deficit spending by the government to try to boost the sputtering economy. Rather than a path out of economic ruin, such spending is the cause of it, he said. Apparently, no one reads history books anymore. This is Alabama after all...Check out the Great Depression, it's a great read...after the jubilant win of WWII, (you know we love to talk about us being the saviors of someone or the greatest nation on earth), we had the stock market crash, the government decided to restrict spending because the private sector wasn't spending. That led to The Great Depression, that's the simple explanation anyway.

"I’m afraid the developed world is over-leveraged, has too much debt, and this begins to sap the strength of all these countries," Sessions said. I seriously doubt that he knows what he is talking about or if he is aware that we are on the planet reality. The debt ceiling "crisis" was political posturing, arm twisting, and one upmanship, played by the right wing nuts. If you want to know why we had our bond rating dropped, place that plate right in front of Sessions and the Republican Party in Congress. Let them eat that turd sandwich, with extra cheese. They thought that as long as something was passed before Aug 2, we would be good to go, but low and behold they caused the lowering with their slash and burn tactics. DO the math, 2 trillion in cuts over 10 years is exactly 200 billion a year off a budget that is over a trillion a year in deficit. It will take cuts and revenue to fix the problem. This recent action in Congress was like whistling while walking past the grave yard and expecting to disturb someone.

Hey magic elf... Only a small part of the problem is the tax code. The big part is wages and trade imbalance, which none of you retards are even going to touch because it's too close to an election year and the subject matter isn't sexified. Plus, you can't invoke the name of Jesus enough to get people fired up about "revenues". In 2001 Bush took a $2 trillion surplus, declared that it belonged to the people, and cut taxes thus starting us down the road to where we are now. Along the way he waged two wars without asking the patriotic American people to help fund these wars. We were just told to go shopping and refinance our houses.

All told, Obama-era choices account for about $1.7 trillion in new debt, according to a separate Washington Post analysis of CBO data over the past decade. Bush-era policies, meanwhile, account for more than $7 trillion and are a major contributor to the trillion-dollar annual budget deficits that are dominating the political debate. Again, Sessions and this retarded elf voted for all of this without so much as a whimper, but now that we have a darkie in the White House, it such a problem that has to be addressed urgently.

For Sessions to forget this makes him earn his ranking as one of the five stupidest senators in the greatest deliberative body ever created.
