The 113th Congress ---A Hall of Shame

They have voted 46 times to repeal Obamacare---an effort that has no way of winning in the Senate, and the President has assured them he will veto it if it ever reaches his desk

This Congress' record has nothing whatsoever to do with job creation-(remember jobs, jobs, jobs) or the country's economic well-being (a shutdown that cost the country $2 billion (from fiscal conservatives) and disturbed the full faith and credit of the US and gained them nothing but the loss of their brand image and a Governorship in Virginia. What they HAVE been about is bashing homosexuals, harassing illegal immigrants, crusading against abortion, invading a woman's private parts, denying climate change, flirting with birthers (except about Ted Cruz), opposing gun control, and revising science to fit a particular religious model. What bills have they passed? I can not find one bill of consequence in my review of the Congressional Record. I don't see one act of bravery on any of their parts. All that I can see is their continual reference to the Hasterd Rule, which even Dennis Hasterd the supposed namesake, denies that it is his. This is a "do nothing" congress that will go down in history as one that is extremely racist, hateful and obstructionist. The legacy they leave for their children and grandchildren is one of pure disgrace.
