You ever have the feeling that you’re living through
what would be a real life version of that Bill Murray movie ‘Ground Hog
Day?’ At least as far as our GOP ‘leaders’
in Congress are concerned? Remember how
it was during the lead up to the last election, how we heard all manner of
promises being made about how, if we were to hand to the Republicans complete
control of Congress, they would then fight Barry tooth and nail and put a halt
to his ongoing effort to fundamentally transform our country. Republicans promised they would put a stop to
Obamacare, get a handle on our debt and put an end to Barry’s unlawful actions
regarding immigration. And what
happened? Absolutely nothing!
And so it is that we are now once again hearing much
the same nonsense. We had House Speaker
John Boehner who, just yesterday, saying how it is that the chamber's
priorities are "the people's priorities," and that lawmakers will
continue to fight the recent "bad deal" struck with Iran over its
nuclear program. Continue to fight? And he went on to say, "Here in the
House, the people's priorities continue to be our priorities." And as amazing as it might sound, Boehner was
actually able to get through his entire spiel with a straight face. He actually seems to think that there are
still people out here beyond the beltway who will still believe what he has to
say. And there just isn’t anymore, or at
least very few.
Boehner went on to say, "And while the
president's Iran deal may have been applauded at the United Nations, I think he
faces serious skepticism here at home. Let me just assure you that members of
Congress will ask much tougher questions this afternoon when we meet with the
president's team. Because a bad deal threatens the security of the American
people — and we're going to do everything possible to stop it." Blah, blah, blah. Not one word of this drivel is anything that
we haven’t heard before and on any number of occasions. And it has been every single time that
Boehner, as well as that other boob McConnell, have been proven to be nothing
more than pathetic liars. They are
utterly useless.
Most Republican lawmakers have, or so we have been
told, long been opposed to this deal with Iran, which was announced last week. Congress now has 60 days to review the deal,
after which it will vote either for it or against it. If the latter happens, Barry “Almighty” can
veto that rejection, which would then require two-thirds of lawmakers to veto
that decision if Congress actually decides to press on. And while it has been reported that the White
House sent Congress a copy of the entire agreement on Sunday, rumor now has it
that there were at least a couple ‘secret deals’ that may have been left out of
what was sent to Congress. But that will
like matter very little to Democrats as they will likely rally behind Barry.
And Barry was said to have irked more than a few lawmakers
this week by choosing to submit the deal to the United Nations, which approved
of the deal, before allowing Congress the time to read, vet, and vote on the
agreement. House Homeland Security
Chairman Michael McCaul took the criticism a step further, saying he would have
liked to see the American people weigh in on the deal before it was placed in
front of the United Nations Security Council. The White House responded to the
criticisms by saying rejecting the deal would let Iran off
"scot-free." But rejecting the
deal is exactly what needs to be done, but there is very little doubt that
there will be more than enough Democrats to support it.
Personally, I no longer trust to be true anything that
I hear coming from those who are in positions leadership on the Republican
said. They all lie. They simply tell us what they think we want
to hear and then, with a smile on their face and gleam in their eye, they proceed
to stab us in the back, twisting the knife as it goes in. And I feel very confident in saying that come
2016 they are all in for what will most assuredly be a very rude
awakening. Because, quite frankly, I’m
tired of being lied to, and you would think that if the popularity of Trump
were to show them anything it’s that we’re no longer going to tolerate the lies. But nope, judging by recent comments it all
seems to be sailing right over their heads.
