it's interesting when the microphones are left on. when the speaker drops the hammer on the desk, the microphones are supposed to turn themselfs off. but sometimes things can go wrong. today the microphones stayed on after the hammer fell. and what was overheard was, that the middle class wasn't all that important to some politicians....[url]http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/dems-silenced-at-house-pro-forma-session/[/url]

Dude......you post a link and then TOTALLY mis represent WHAT was said, what was NOT said, and what it meant.
The comments were NOT made off mic, or when someone "thought" the mic was not on. Hoyer was whining because the HOUSE passed an extension for the whole year, yet the Senate tried to pass something for 2 months. You know what, 2 MONTHS does nothing, and probably costs industry and everyone involved MORE to change things than the actual extension.
The Senate is trying to get something for nothing, and the HOUSE won't stand for it. I'm TIRED of the Senate, which has been ran by Leftist LIBERAL Democrats for 2 years. It is too **** bad that we didn't throw them out too.
They Have not passed a budget for 8 straight sessions. Harry Reid is a PIECE of GARBAGE. When Obama had the HOUSE and the SENATE he STILL didn't get a budget passed.
WaterDog, instead of whining and posting FALSE information, you should be screaming at the top of your lungs at this garbage.
While you're pondering that, you should ASK your beloved president WHY he doesn't want a pipeline from Canada to refineries in TEXAS. Instead, he thinks it is better in IMPORT oil and ship it via TANKERS on the ocean. TALK about idiotic.
Don't you suppose giving money to Canada, and CREATING jobs here is a good idea? Quite frankly, I'm GLAD the Keystone provisions were in the bills passed by the house. Quite frankly, I'm GLAD republicans are holding their ground.........
It's not going to matter though, because in 12 months the Dems are going to lose the Presidency, and the Senate.........hopefully they lose judgeships too..

Well, I responded to this BEFORE I heard/read that the House republicans caved. WHAT THE HELL.
I will tell you what is going to happen with this now. Businesses will "wait" and see if something gets passed after the first of the year. If an extension happens, which SHOULD happen then great. If an extension does NOT happen, then businesses will pro-rate the taxes due, meaning everyone will owe more in taxes per paycheck due to the fact that congress couldn't get there head out of their ASS.
I tell you this. I'm SICK of them not doing the people's business. SICK OF IT.
Boehner........cry me a **** river.
Pelosi......go choke on your lipstick.
Reid........I hope you prick yourself on a ROSE bush and bleed to death.
McConnell.....GIVE ME A BREAK.
Every last one of them SOB's should be back in Washington DOING what we told them to DO.
GRRRRRRRR.
Later,
Geo
