Congress prepares to punt, spend the fall campaigning

that is quite possible, but if it goes down thus the reaction coast to coast will be RAGE

he mucked up another one, every little move he makes

and, before we can even get there, they're painted in their corner---they WILL head into this midterm election with the inept explanation to the american taxpayer, "hey, we just couldn't get around to extending the cuts"
we were too busy NOT laughing at stephen colbert


Not Wanted
Have you seen any of one the Trifecta of Doom, Pelosi, Obama, Reid? Wanted for crimes against the American Constitution, the peoples trust, and the economy.

First I haven't watched Colbert in many years for the same reason I don't watch John Stewart or listen to Rush Limbaugh. I cannot abide arrogance in any form.
Not even any member of the Trifecta of Doom, Obama, Pelosi, Reid.

As far as the the Lame Duck SURPRISE to come goes, Obama is so arrogant he sees himself as king of the world and he does not give a tinkers damn about what "WE THE PEOPLE" want or know is needed for us to survive as a Sovereign Nation.

Reid with luck will by then be looking a life back in the desert where he can do no mare harm, Pelosi should be out as Speaker, and every Member of Both Houses that will be voted out will want one parting shot on their way out the door and will do what ever it takes to try to pass Cap and Trade, Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, and to drop the Bush Tax cuts.

These are not just Liberal Leftists we are dealing with here they are ruthless radical progressives who's ideology is job one, last, and always, and nothing else matters to them.

Obama is already reeling from Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and his entire economic team, bailing on him because they know Obama is going to be a one term failure and they can do better by getting out now before his been voted out.

We are going to have to apply massive pressure to keep the lame ducks from causing our fragile economy from hyperinflation, depression and or worse.

If we can't restore the Conservative principle values of lower taxes, personal responsibility, smaller government, strong national defense, and state's rights, we will find our selves on a precipice that once we go over, we may never see a recovery in any of our life times.

I know this sound extreme. It is meant to because this is the most dangerous situation we have been in since WW-II and that is no exaggeration.

Our economy is not all that is under attack, our basic Constitutional rights are in jeopardy from Obama and his cadre of Czars, Radicals, Socialists/Marxists and even terrorists.

They want total control over the internet so they can control free speech and the free exchange of ideas, they want to force the owners of Conservative based Radio Stations to pay a fee to the left wing PBS so they can keep up the propaganda or be forced to sell to some minority or Left wing group.

This is if you check some of the same tactics of Hugo Chavez and other tin gods (little g) in history.

I now fully expect to be attack by Liberal Lefties with all the Rules for Radicals they can come up with because they can't deal with the truth therefore they are incapable of recognizing it when it's all around them.

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything, like Obama's line of bovine scatology.

no attack......just an great big laugh at the ridiculous, over the top rhetoric.
 
it's pretty disingenuous to call it "Obamacare" when it's not even what Obama wanted to pass.

oh, please

ahab obama chased obamacare like his great white whale

again, what tv are you watching

man up, barry

Congratulations your post is as predicted no cogent intelligent response just ridicule. At least it wasn't the old worn out stand by the obfuscation ploy.

Yeah, and his health care plan didn't get passed. Congress passed some other health care plan. So his health care plan didn't get passed. So it's not Obamacare.

What about this is so difficult for you to understand?
 
OBAMA'S PROBLEM is 92% of tea drinkers and 52% of ALL AMERICANS perceive the putz' policies as socialist

Just because it is perceived as socialist doesn't mean it actually is socialist.
 
of course not

but voters VOTE

they do so based on their VIEWS

yes, this (among many other things) is OBAMA'S PROBLEM

So I don't get this. Are you supporting Obama's presidency against those who attack him for things that he isn't (Muslim, socialist, etc.)? Or are you criticizing Obama's presidency for being based around Islam and socialism? Or are you criticizing Obama's presidency for being so easy for partisan hacks to attack?

that's ridiculous, it was the president and not the palsied speakeress who was the persistent pusher behind passage, where were you?

and you don't like the term, obamacare?

that too is HIS PROBLEM

Not solely a direct democracy but rather a check that involves direct democracy. After all, the 10th Amendment says that powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states and to the people. In my view, that's a Constitutional justification for it.

I think you would have to pass a Constitutional Amendment to be able to do this as the government uses the "General Welfare" clause of Article I, section 8 to usurp unlimited power to do anything they want to do...... and they won't give that up without a fight.

Oregon uses what you are talking about (grass root ballot measures) to pass or stop laws that "the people" don't want or do want...... and it works, so I'm all for your idea.

At the very least it would require a law passed by Congress and signed by the President, and the Supreme Court would have to uphold the law and rule that this law is constutional and isn't a case of Congress delegating some of it's powers to another party (the reason why the law that granted the President line-item veto powers during the Clinton Administration as unconstitutional.) However, in order to prevent a future Congress from passing a law repealing it, yes, a Constitutional Amendment would be required.
