Do Nothing Republicans Announce They Will Not Be Passing Any Legislation This Year

[Triana]

. . .

It is not surprising that Republicans are not going to do anything this year. What is surprising is that the House Republicans have given up the pretense of doing anything. There aren’t going to be anymore show votes that are labeled jobs bills, or immigration reform. Boehner and the House leadership have simply given up.

They aren’t even trying to fool the American people into believing that House Republicans are doing something for them. The ruse is over. Republicans aren’t going to do anything, but run back to their districts in a desperate bid to save their seats. At least Boehner can stop going in front of the cameras, and trying to sell his absurd excuses for doing nothing as benefitting the American people.

2014 is going to be another lost year in American politics. Republicans are calling President Obama a dictator and making claims of constitutional violations, but it is clear that the president heads up the only branch of government that is trying to move the country forward by doing something.

Republicans have given the voters no reason to reelect them this year. They have no agenda. They have done nothing but obstruct progress, and now Boehner and company have the nerve to announce that they aren’t going to go to work, but they still are expecting your votes in November.

THE REST:

1. And that not even two months into the year.

Why are they being paid any salary?

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Great

Here we go all the way back to 1948 again . . .

3. I want my money back.

"There is clearly a desire among Republicans in Congress to move backward."

Fixed that for you, Mr. Winston. (From the WaPo article.)

4. They all need to be tossed out....no work, no pay

[Agnosticsherbet]

5. And I was looking forward to 44 more votes to repeal Obamacare

More than 500 hours of investigations into Benghazi and Fast and furious using trumped up evidence to create a fake crises.

Does this mean that their own constituents no longer believe the Boehner's Bullshit Teaparty Circus?

6. Well, they did their Money-Masters' bidding, passed the debt ceiling limit,

and now they can go home and collect their bribes while leaving the country "they love" hanging out to dry.

And, of course, they'll point the blame at Democrats and somehow convince the masses that Democrats are to blame for shutting down the government - which they are effectively doing.

This is what you get when you don't vote Democratic Party or vote Republican - a useless U.S. House of Representatives full of do-nothing, bribed Congressmen and women, and a country constantly on the verge of catastrophe.

May *every Latino, every Hispanic, every Black, every Asian sign up their eligible children to vote, and together, remove these fermenting cancers from the People's House once and for all.

7. Ah yes...the value of work they preach

While admitting they don't plan on doing a damn thing while still collecting a paycheck.

Who's the real "takers" me wonders....

[Berlum]

8. "You lazyass, anti-American RepubliWankers need to send back your paychecks." - American Taxpayers

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. And there is a depressingly good likelihood

that Republicans will get enough votes to re-elect some of the worst Governors 2010 had to offer in the states and could even potentially take the US Senate, making the last two years of Barack Obama's Presidency even more insufferable than his last 3-4 years. GOTV Democrats!!!!

10. We shouldn't pay them then.

Maybe it's time to install a different pay plan for the House. Pay by the hour?

[liberal N proud]

11. Republicans have given the voters no reason to reelect them this year. YET. they will get reelected

It is unbelievable how stupid the American electorate is, they will sit by and witness this deliberate obstruction and even be effected by it, but they will turn around and vote the assholes back in to do it all over again.
