The GOP's strategy to block Obama’s regulations

[n2doc]

The GOP is preparing to mount a full-scale assault on President Obama’s regulatory agenda, using the party’s strengthened hand in Congress to delay, soften or block contentious administration rules at every turn.

As long as Obama sits atop the executive branch, Republicans’ power to derail scores of rulemaking efforts now under way is limited. But control of both the House and Senate in the next Congress will enable GOP lawmakers to ratchet up their attacks on what they view as overzealous regulation.

“So long as we have this president the federal agencies can go around Congress," said Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) "But we can make it very, very difficult for them."

Inhofe, who is poised to become chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, is certain to take a leading role in the GOP push against regulations at the center of Obama’s climate action plan.

1. They are planning a full scale attack on out future.

everyone here needs to identify someone who did not vote and make sure they make it to the polls next year and know something about local officials as well as federal posts. And watch the watchers - the people running the polls.

3. I say this to my "republican" friends allthe time,. they dote

on their grandkids but it is like they think they can't see into the future, and these kids who can't afford to be educated will be smart enough to invent their way about of anything. it just does not make sense.

The people pulling the strings are the most selfish people on earth, I care more about the children I don't have then they do about the ones they do have. It just matter that they die with the most toys.
