GOP doubles down on obstructionism

[IGotWorms 3,310]

Washington (CNN)So much for the honeymoon period.

 

The election is 12 days away but Republicans are already promising years of investigations and blocked nominees if Hillary Clinton wins.

 

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the Utah Republican who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, says he has lined up enough material from Clinton's four years as secretary of state for two years of probes.

 

"It's a target-rich environment," Chaffetz told The Washington Post. "Even before we get to Day One, we've got two years' worth of material already lined up. She has four years of history at the State Department, and it ain't good."

 

Then there's the Supreme Court vacancy.

Republicans have said for months they won't act on President Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to fill the opening left by Justice Antonin Scalia's death because they want the winner of the presidential race to fill that vacancy. Now, one senator says the GOP should consider blocking any Clinton nominee, leaving the nation's high court with just eight members.

Sixteen focking years of this garbage. No wonder nobody thinks you clowns can focking govern. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/27/politics/hillary-clinton-republicans-congress/index.html

8+4=12 not 16

[Voltaire 4,556]

The Dems will likely win the Senate and with the Reid rules from last time can get nominees confirmed over filibusters. If so, the shiite won't hit the fan until after the midterms.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

She brought her investigations on herself. Should have been more honest and less greedy.

Maybe so, but the constant investigation stuff is annoying. I got sick of her being investigated about 87 or 92 investigations ago and just tune that sh*t out. It took me a few months to realize this email thing was actually truly a legitimate scandal because I wasn't paying attention at first. I get so use to ignoring the constant, endless, nonstop useless obsessive GOP whining that it's all white noise.

Come up with some ideas and focking govern. Don't obstruct for 16 focking years on end

Don't get ahead of yourself. It's been 8, might be 12.

[IGotWorms 3,310]

Don't get ahead of yourself. It's been 8, might be 12.

Sure won't be 8.

 

Won't be 12 either unless Republicans pull their focking heads out of their asses.

 

She could be beat after one term. At that point it's 12 years of the same party. And she isn't popular. However women will not want the first female president being a one-termer. Still, she's beatable.

 

But it ain't gonna focking happen unless the GOP offers some vision other than the same tired obstructionism. Plus they need a decent focking candidate that the crazies in the party don't shoot down.

 

Can be done but they need to do some serious soul searching. Like they claimed they did after the 2012 election but obviously did not.

The Republican base and the Republican leadership have different priorities and different remedies on how to go from here. We'll see post-Trump what the future has in store for them, if they can bridge the divide and how long that'll take.

 

They also don't have a unifying figure. The last GOP president is unpopular and out of sight, the Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney faction have to figure out how to deal with the Donald Trump faction. The only unifying feature is anti-Hillary. That won't be enough this year and may not be enough in 2018 or 2020, they'd be better off repairing their own divide first. It's a long way to go from here, if it's even possible in the near future.

At this point, all I'm really hoping for Is that Mitch McConnell loses His leadership role. He is about as worthless as on a bull.

Whoops, someone isn't understanding what this thread is about!

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

If the GOP does go this route, it will be the end of the party. There are a ton of people who are looking for a common sense government that makes changes that allow us to spend less and help make the economy stronger. An obstructionist push by the GOP will cause those people to go elsewhere. Might be good in the long-term because that would open the door for a new party that is fiscally conservative and socially tolerant.

[Bert 1,091]

Whoops, someone isn't understanding what this thread is about!

Whoops, lawyer man is wrong again. I agree with wiffle and agree this bullsh!t should stop. I also know that Stuart Smalley is one of the individuals that feeds this kind of divisive bullsh!t. This crap in our government is not one sided and until everyone realizes that it will never change.

[hoytdwow 202]

Chaffetz is a putz. All along he's been one of the most vocal anti-Trump repubtards, then the other day he said he doesn't support or endorse Trump but he is voting for him.

[MDC 5,890]

The GOP insists that government is a problem, then they make sure it's true by running for Congressional jobs they have no intention of doing.

 

It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

[RLLD 3,455]

My problem with this is the fact that the GOP seems intent to pervert the will of the people, if people vote and they elect that monstrous piece of walking excrement that is Hillary Clinton, thats it......

 

No way should they be wasting resources to then spend years attempting to deny the people that which they have chosen....enough is enough....

There's merit to that. Everyone knows she's not a good person and elected her anyway. They have to get some work done. They should start by approving Garland for the SC.

I know its all the GOP's fault, everything is

 

just think how wonderful socialism could be, we can all turn in our firearms, and give 70% of our money to people who don't even have to work, and pay for all their babies too. Everyone would be equal, that would be awesome

Nobody is trying to get you to turn in your firearms or give 70% of your money to those people.

You are, as usual, full of complete overdramatic BS in order to keep yourself from criticizing people not doing what they were sent to Washington to do.

Hillary has numerous times pointed to Australia's gun policy

Hillary has joined in on free college bullshit

its not long before minimum wage is 15, and more jobs disappear and they wonder why? She wants to tax us even more, til we have nothing left

 

meanwhile we waste billions on the sham that is green energy, while doing nothing about trying to fix the problems of nuclear waste in the ocean, (you know actual man made issues)

 

We get sold global warming, climate change garbage and are expected to donate (tax) more and more to allow the government to fix something.

 

these things all need to stop. Hillary wants open boarder globalism, 1 world currency, 1 world language, not far behind

 

in the meantime they still want us to support 55000 more muslim refugees, and continually bash Christianity

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

They don't care if they bash Christians, that's allowed. That's because they are obvious hypocrites with a superiority complex. Too bad they have inferior ideas.

If the GOP wants to govern it could 1) come up with some actual focking policies and 2) win an election. That's the way these things work

97% you opened the door. It's a fake number. Science doesn't use %s science uses proofs. What you have is theory as in nothing has been proven. Now I am sure you believe that bill nye is some great scientist (not actually a scientist). So maybe those that challenge it disbelieve should be in jail.
