That was the basis for this although I would have posted it anyway although I have doubts if anyone would have.
Hey, I do not like or respect this President, and the only combacks that contain sarcasm are those that use Romney as the example and never use Obama and I hope you are honest enough to recognize that.
I have posted retorts to some of your congressional posts where you ONLY use the house as an example...NEVER the senate. WE AGREE on the inept government, but I try (maybe not always successful, but I try) to include BOTH PARTIES which was the first phrase of your note, and then (and I didnt check by count) but then 3/4 of the post was a specific by name and group of a Romney donation.
I might also add that am sure you are "sick and tired" of me mentioning that....I can say that your lectures on not criticizing Obama because I will not change votes rings hollow since those on here who simply jump in and out with the condescending name calling of anything right (candidates, networks, etc) are never called to task by you. By implication to me, that is because you condone their posts that are normally without any credibility or link to even try to make the statments credible. Mine are based on what I have read and see and are linked to validate. THAT fact does not make them wrong in anyway, but my problem is they do not ever receive your condemnations, and in fact, many times get the "applause".
I agree totally our government is screwed up, and will support anyone who says it, but to be frank, I feell forced to defend Republicans because when the congress is discussed it appears they are the only bad guys, yet when I read of the actions of the Senate that seems to go by with no comment.
I am truely sorry if this made you angry, but your called me out on this forum in a very very public manner simply because you felt I was criticizing Obama too much and would never change a mind....I suggest you could say the same thing to others who adore him, but you will not.
If I misread you I am sorry...I DO apologize when necessary but ask that you check on the accuracy of what I say at the same time.

Apology accepted.
I seldom...maybe never...criticize the Senate because it is beyond being broken. It has set rules for itself that essentially removes it as a productive element in the legislative process and in the governance if this country. And because of the way it operates and because of it's inept leadership on both sides of the Senate aisle, it can essentially neuter any legislative efforts begun in the House.
Having said that, what the House does is a pretty pure measure of what the party in control stands for. The GOP has overwhelming control of the House. They can vote for whatever they wish. Forget the fact that the Senate is likely to block almost anything the Senate leadership deems to be politically desirable to the GOP. Just continue to focus on what the House actually does, even though it never makes it into law because of Senate obstructionism.
If you look closely at what the House spends their time on, what legislation they actually pass....and refuse to listen to the soundbites they plant on how responsible they are or trying to convince the public that what they say are important issues really are...I'm pretty sure you'll find that they are no better, no more fiscally conservative, no more willing to really do the "people's work" than the Nancy Pelosi-lead Democratic House that preceded them.
That's why my criticism is concentrated on the House. I've completely given up on the Senate!
