for decency, freedom, the meaning of elections, the will of the people, any respect for those people, & monetary and fiscal sanity.
Not bad for one speech to a bunch of loons. Who, btw, are never to be satisfied no matter what power driven slop the Democrats come up with. These frenzied losers are in the grips of a powerful addiction,and it has nothing to do with a fantasy called progressivism, a term only about 120 years old.
I trust Senator McConnell is reviewing his parliamentary procedures right now, and in the back of what might be called Reid’s mind, he is preparing for a bad election.
And may we cease referring to the rabies victims of the left as “progressives”?

A number of republicans are on TV freaking out about a lame duck session full of cap and tax, card check, a public option, and maybe concentration camps for tea party activists. The reality is that Pelosi can cram whatever she wants through the house and nothing substantial will get done in the Senate. Not only do you have several democrat senators running scared for their 2012 re-elections (Nelson, McCaskill, etc) but you should have a couple new republicans sitting immediately after their special elections (IL, DE, WV?) giving us 42-44 votes…easy filibuster territory.

whole idea of no work in the lame-duck session bothers me. Those Senators elected in 2004, whether Democrat or Republican were elected to serve (and ya know, do stuff) until January 3, 2011. Voters in 2008 elected House members to serve until January 3, 2011 (preferably doing stuff), not September 30. Democrats control the Senate and can attempt to do anything they want until January 3. (who knows if they will) That’s the power of being in the majority.

Personally, I hope no destructive “jobs” bills are passed during that time, and there be more “neutral” bills on the floor. It happens every lame duck session because terms don’t end until January. If you want to move that up to the day after the election, that’s another story.

I meant that Reid & Pelosi have the right to pass anything they want (stuff stands for card check, cap and trade, etc etc) until January 3, because that’s when the Congress ends.

It doesn’t serve anybody well at all for Reid and Pelosi to push their legislation through.

Let’s be clear. Nobody wants card check or cap and trade or spending and tax increases. And we should be fighting against them now just as hard as we would in a lame duck session. However, Democrats have the right to pass anything they want until January 3, no matter how awful it is. Congressional terms don’t end until January (when the new Congress is sworn in)

that Congress must do something. Anything? What? Given who we are dealing with, you did read the link I hope, nothing is a blessing..

Keep it up.

…”If you vote us out, we’ll destroy you!”
(Never mind that if we vote them back IN, they’ll STILL destroy us).

Is this what Obama means by “the Chicago way”? — “Nice little country you’ve got here; be a shame if anything happened to it.”

Thanks for the information, and I like your resolution, but it is unlikely to be read by most Americans. And most Americans will probably never hear about it.

Have you and your conservative Republican colleagues come up with a strategy to go on the offensive against the incumbent Democrats to put them on the defensive on the issue of the possibility of a lame duck session?

For example, have you and your colleagues considered holding a press conference announcing something along the lines of:

We hereby challenge all incumbent Democrat and Independent representatives and senators running for re-election pledge NOW, in writing, that, whatever the outcome of the November 2 elections, they will not disabuse the will of the people and will not, therefore, participate in any attempt to conduct a lame-duck session of Congress. And we will provide this pledge in written form to every Democrat and Independent representative and senator running for re-election and daily post the names of those who refuse to take this simple written pledge to respect the will of the American voters.

Then, thereafter, get every Republican candidate to deliver a shorter pledge to the office of their Democrat incumbent challenger’s office, with cameras rolling, asking that their Democrat adversary sign the pledge. Make the pledge short and sweet so it’s digestible by the American voter. By carrying out your purpose with this strategy, you put the issue in front of every voter in every local congressional and senate race. You attack on every front, not just in the Congress itself. You give every Republican candidate a short, sweet “club” with which they can clobber their Democrat incumbent foe. The Republican candidates go on the offensive, putting the Democrat incumbents on the defensive.

Also, Rep. Price, you stated:

To make your voice heard, there is no better way than via AmericaSpeakingOut.com.

Would you not agree that an individual can best make his voice heard in party politics by becoming a voting member of a political party. I realize you may be trying to remain non-partisan, as you represent all the citizens in your district, but could you not at least encourage people to get involved in the party of their choice by becoming precinct committeemen, so they may vote for the party leaders and be in the best position to help get out the vote for the candidates of their party in both the primary and general elections. You may recall at the Redstate Gathering last year I told you that the Republican Party was at HALF strength in the precinct committeemen ranks. You said at the time you were unaware of that fact and that you’d talk to “your people” about improving those numbers. I hope you can come back here and tell us what you’ve been doing since then to urge conservative Republicans to become precinct committeemen.

I hope you will urge conservative Republicans to become precinct committeemen and get engaged in Get Out The Vote efforts NOW!

For Liberty,
ColdWarrior, PC (that’s “precinct committeeman,” not “political child!”)
Conservatives, UNITE! CHANGE the Republican Party and save the world by UNITING INSIDE the Party as precinct committeemen. NOW! (91 days until Nov. 2 — what are YOU DOING to help get out the vote in your precinct?)
