GOP House Press Conference

Posted on | March 3, 2010 | 10 Comments

Various GOP heads talk to the ObamaCare hydra that still has a few moving heads.Their tone is rather somber, and they attempt to:

  • Express interest in starting from scratch, and
  • Focus attention on the tanked economy

I really would like to hear them discuss more strategic thoughts, but freely admit that now through the end of the 111th Congress that tactics must rule.

I don’t think it overly dramatic to state that if the Administration is successful in its cramdown effort, the very concept of separation of powers will be harmed. What is the point of rules of order and elections if the Congress is just one long signing statement for any Executive whim?

As much as we enjoy flogging these GOP weenies, they really are the last thing between the country and abyss.

Via The Patriot Room, we have this gem:
Holy ‘spoloded head, Batman: does anything BHO says ever mean anything?

Update: go to The BlogProf and watch Mitch McConnell.  Wow.

    the very concept of separation of powers will be harmed.

    It’s worse than that.

    The very concept of “representative” will be harmed. Breaking faith with the electorate frees the electorate to break faith with Congressional legislation as a whole.

    The snap-back on this may be far more serious in the long-term than anyone can imagine.

    The 50+1 method of passing bills thru the Senate would just be another example of True Democracy. True Democracy is two wolves, and one sheep deciding what’s for dinner. The shame of it is when some of the sheep suggest lamb chops for dinner.
    Kind of like a Carly Fiorina Political Ad.

    “As much as we enjoy flogging these GOP weenies, they really are the last thing between the country and abyss.”

    No they aren’t. We are. If elections fail, if Congress is so corrupt they ram unconstitutional bills down our throats well it’s time we threw it up on them.

    We are the last thing.
