THE POPULARITY OF CONGRESS QUESTIONED

WHY A PROBLEM WITH REPUBLICANS?
by Lee S Gliddon Jr


We see the highest rating of U.S. citizens expressing their dissatisfaction with Congress than ever before. Surprisingly Democrats continue to hold a lead over Republicans in popularity on getting things done legislatively. I wish to address this issue and a few others and get responses to offer a true understanding.


The Republicans of the House of Representatives have done most of the things they were elected to do. They passed Bills to repeal Obamacare, stop adding to our National Debt, as well as a myriad of other stated wishes America expressed. What happened was Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader either refused to allow such Bills to be voted on in the Senate or refused to allow debate on such Bills before the Senate voted.


As an example, in February, 2011, the House passed a Bill allowing the FAA to be funded for continued operation while setting forth restrictions on spending on infrequently used airports.  When the House adjourned and went on their Summer vacation the Senate Democrats started their wailing! "Representatives went on vacation while failing to address the FAA situation. This will cost billions in tax revenues."

GOP REPS ARE 'ON THE BALL' IT IS THE SENATE FOULING THINGS UP FOR AMERICA

House GOP revs up a repeal, reduce and rein-in agenda for the fall 
House Republicans are planning votes for almost every week this fall in an effort to repeal environmental and labor requirements on business that they say have hampered job growth. With everyone from President Obama to his Republican challengers in the 2012 campaign focusing on ways to spur economic growth, House Republicans will roll out plans Monday to fight regulations from the National Labor Relations Board, pollution rules handed down by the Environmental Protection Agency and regulations that affect health plans for small businesses. In addition, the lawmakers plan to urge a 20 percent tax deduction for small businesses.

Scientists declare Hurricane Irene a Republican
Dr. Harvey Moosefinger with the Imperial Weather Service reported that Irene had been labeled a “Republican” storm. “The science is settled,” Moosefinger said. “Had Irene been a Democrat. It would have hit Washington as a temporary program, stayed put and in five years would have had a budget of $50 billion, 15,000 federal employees and numerous lobbying support groups nationwide.”

I finally signed up for Twitter, as it is useful to pick up stuff for the Political Digest. I don’t expect to Tweet much, but the tag is @tartanmarine.

Worth Reading: Mark Steyn: It's the Stupidity, Economists
Excerpt: Walter Bagehot, the great English constitutionalist, used to distinguish between the “dignified” and “efficient” parts of the Westminster system — i.e., the monarchy and the executive. The United States combines them in one person. Judging from the 40-car conga line to stage a pseudo-browse at a mom-’n'-pop bookstore on Martha’s Vineyard, President Obama and the court eunuchs of the media seem to prefer the ceremonial side (“dignified” hardly seems the word for these leaden rituals).

IMMIGRATION IS NO LONGER FEASIBLE UNLESS ILLEGALS ARE DEPORTED!!!

Immigration: Our Human Dilema
U.S. industrial giants won’t speak about it. Most Americans ignore its reality.

Lamm—educate Americans about their future immigration calamity......

OBAMA'S BIG JOBS PLAN IS "ER...ER...ER...WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?"

It Takes an Earthquake to Shake Up Washington
Obama increasingly looks like a man on the defensive. At public gatherings he increasingly faces hostile crowds and uncomfortable questions. Rather than define a plan to save the nation from economic ruin and fight for it, he repeatedly fails to provide that plan, continues to mouth platitudes about preserving the current systems for Social Security and Medicare that are not financially sustainable, and promises answers to important questions not today but in future......

President Barack Obama’s Pro-Abortion Record: A Pro-Life Compilation

Updated August 28, 2011
 
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The following is a compilation of bill signings, speeches, appointments and other actions that President Barack Obama has engaged in that have promoted abortion before and during his presidency.
While Obama has promised to reduce abortions and some of his supporters believe that will happen, this long list proves his only agenda is promoting more abortions.
During the presidential election, Obama selected pro-abortion Sen. Joe Biden as his vice-presidential running mate.

Old Jarhead Blog Removed
Twice in the last two weeks, both times on Saturdays, when you log on to my blog at www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com, readers got a "blog removed" message with no explanation. Both times I logged on to Blogspot and posted a query and the blog returned in a few hours. They say they have a system for auto removing Spam blogs, but mine has zero advertising, except me books, I kill Spam posts, and it has been up since 2008. I don't know if it is a blogspot glitch, like the way they sometimes change scheduled posts to drafts, or an attack, It is costing me readers--weekly page views dropped in that time from over 4k to about 3k. If you get that message, please try again later.
