We need a reality based Congress
Currently there is a cash and carry Congress as seen in the Transportation Appropriations Bill and the Energy bill that the Accidental President just signed. It is getting pathetic, and maybe to the point that voters will see that not just Congress as a whole is corrupt but their Member of Congress is part of the problem and not part of the solution.

We need a reality based Congress, one that recognizes that you can not raise spending and cut taxes for the wealthy and still claim that you are for fiscal responsibility or a balanced budget.

We need a reality based Congress that understands that you can not pass a bill called clean skies and increase the level of pollution in the air we breathe.

We need a reality based Congress that sees that there is a huge difference between saying no child left behind and ensuring that no child is left behind.

We need a reality based Congress in which the Ethics Committee actually enforces the code of ethics in the House, no truce, just the truth.

We need a reality based Congress, one that does not make up science like Intelligent Design because the President was too stupid to take or understand Biology 101.

We need a reality based Congress that does not give tax breaks to gas burning monster trucks that only the afluent can afford.

We need a reality based Congress and the Republican leadership for the past 10 years has proven that there is no reality in this Congress.

Give me more reality based Congress Ideas

1. it's an unconventional form of self-coup that Bushler's pulled
Basically, instead of dissolving the legislature, he used election fraud to install shills in place of representatives.
