egotistical micromanagement.

Morons!

with Healthcare, Cap & Trade, and an out of control EPA….

Get your head back in the real game and quit screwing around….

Now give me 20 mister!!!!

I’ve pined for a Division 1A playoff season for 30 years….and I’d love to see it…but since when does the federal government have the right to pass a law forcing the issue…let alone considering the fact that I need a frigging job and when you’re worried about making your next house payment the last thing you want to see your congressman doing is voting on a playoff system in College Football with the dollar crashing around the world, taxes coming down like a ton of bricks on businesses who might hire me and when the unemployed,ployment rate is 10+%

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

I firmly believe that these types of things are in no way are anything close to something that our government should be involved in.

Then again, if these fools are doing this, then they are spending less time mucking up more important things.

Get rid of the Wildcat formation.

Mandate that the QB take at least 50% of snaps under center.

In order to make the rest of the world like us better, adopt Canadian rules (12 men, 3 downs, no “backfield in motion” penalty, etc.)

Or better yet, just make the NCAA play soccer instead.

Sheesh!

The more Congress works on worthless legislation– the less damage they can do if they work on other legislation. Remember the Ice Dancing Scandal? That should be the next thing Congress should work on to prevent cheating in Ice Dancing. Etc..

is that way too many people think that the government should do something about this. They think government should do something about everything.

Hey, why stop there, Joe? Why not just nationalize college football altogether? Why not have Congress investigate the win/loss records of every team in the country and empower the President to fire all underperforming head coaches?

What’s good for GM is good for LSU, right?

Were wasting our time with things like this. Really, this stupid and furthermore is another reason why things are really the same in congress. If you want to start changing the results, start using the brains that you have.

We absolutely need to communicate to the Beltway GOP types that we are sick of government interference of any kind. This is why the GOP fails to take market share while the TEA Party grows. A growing majority of Americans are sick of government, period.

Another excellent example is Eric Cantor proposing a law that entitles Medal of Honor winners to fly the American flag. (I think MoH winners should be able to take a free flight on Air Force One once a year with their whole family. Someone honorable should be able to fly on that equipment.) A wonderful sentiment. Probably unconstitutional. And do we need yet another law on the books? Government is the problem, not the solution. If we believe that we need to start hammering these guys ESPECIALLY when we agree with the change they want to effect but DISAGREE with the government heavy-handed approach.

I want government GONE. That includes a Republican government. A government powerful to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything away.

I don’t know Congressman Barton or anything about his district or those he purports to represent. Personally, I don’t give two bits about the collegiate national football championship or how it’s determined. Based upon the diary and everyone’s comments, it does seem to me that the Congressman has a serious time-management issue, seeing all that is currently happening around him in the hallowed halls he occupies.

Perhaps like minded voters in his district should help him to reexamine his legislative perspective and realign his priorities (my polite way of telling him to quickly pull his head out of where the light don’t shine).

Hello, RedStaters of Texas-6! Is this what Phil Graham would have sponsored, given where we are today? Maybe 24 years in Congress is a bit too much? Is your telephone or keyboard in working order? Then, have at him! He needs input from that R+15 Texas district! Quickly, now!

running college football? I am getting the same feeling I do when my dog craps on the sidewalk and I don’t have a plastic bag. As much as I may not like it, I’m just going to have to leave it there.

Noone wants Congress mucking around in college football and we can all agree that there are plenty more important issues going on right now than how we determine a national champion.

The problem is that the BCS is an absolute monopoly and there are many millions of dollars at stake for many of these schools (when dollars are pretty scarce everywhere) so when the BSC arbitrarily decides whether or not to reward someone with a BSC bowl bid worth millions – or more importantly the Championship bid worth many millions more – that makes a big difference to a small school like Cincinnati, Boise State or TCU.

And noone can force the BCS to make any changes EXCEPT Congress. I expect that most of the people supporting this bill don’t want government involved with football either, but since they are the only ones who can blow the whistle on a bad play, they should when they see one.

Be thankful for small, inadvertent favors. If we could get the Senate to spend the next 2 months debating this, it would be a big improvement over passing nationalized health care and cap and trade.

On the one hand, of course Congress should have nothing to do with sports, its insane. On the other hand, they’re totally right on this issue, we need a playoff system desperately, particularly this year when Texas Christian, clearly the best team in the Country, is shut out of the Championship despite not only having a perfect record but totally blowing out pretty much everybody they faced all year. Because they removed margin of victory from the computer ranking system a few years or so back, teams like Texas and Alabama can barely beat teams and it counts the same as TCU blowing their opponents out by 30 or 40 points. Its just not right, and it caused a great injustice this year. Sure, a win is a win, but a dominant win by 30 points is far more impressive than a win by a single point that only happened because you managed to use replay to get the referees to restart the game so you can kick a field goal with one extra second left. So while I agree that this really is none of Congress’ business, the fact is that discrimination against the smaller teams has caused yet another major injustice this year, and if that injustice is remedied with a playoff system I’ll be happy, even if its Congress that makes it happen. Better to be righting wrongs the wrong way than to be nationalizing health care, passing cap and tax, taking away our freedoms, etc.

That’s the start and end of it. They want to control everything. They want to control how we get medical care, they’ve already controlled what some businesses can pay their execs, through “climate change” they’re going to control where we live and work, and how we get from one to the other.

They’re not going to stop until either they own it all or we stop them. We need to do that. Use elections if necessary.

“… Eric Cantor proposing a law that entitles Medal of Honor winners to fly the American flag.”

What??? Does that mean that the rest of us cannot?

Nothing more needs to be said.

Pelosi or Rangel could run as GOP candidates and rake in the bucks from the RNC.

This has gotten pathetic. Not even sure these dolts are worth shaping. Throw the whole mess in the trash at this point.

Yeah, the baby in the bathwater arguement has it’s points, but how many more decades is it going to take for the GOP to get they are the “Party of the People” and get what that means?

My rant.
