OK, GOPers in Congress are "investigating" Obama, reading the Constitution,
repealing the health insurance bill, and telling us that "god won't destroy this world"...Are they ever going to do any real work or will we have more of their absolute politics and meaningless bullshit till the 2012 elections?

What do you think? Do they care about America's troubles at all or is it all show business for them?

1. Dog & Pony Shows...
There's not a single thing the GOTB has proposed that has a chance of passing. It's all window dressing and posturing. They can repeal the 14th ammendment (I'm sure if given the chance the rushpublicans would jump all over that one) or that the moon is made of cheese and it means nothing as there aren't the votes in the Senate to pass any of the "legislation" the Boner House will pass.

It's gonna be a teabagger show...a lot of posturing and obnoxiousness and little else. That's ok, since they know the corporate media will hyperventilate to their tunes. It's all about making this administration look bad...and if it means shutting down the government...so be it.

This country is stuck on stupid and now has a House that reflects it...

3. It'll take a while, since they've shredded it and wiped their butts with it.
This could take some time.

4. They'll dicker around with the same old chestnuts (abortion, fighting 'socialism', abortion,
gun rights, abortion, de-funding domestic programs, abortion, anti-gay legislation, abortion, political favors to their corporate sponsors, abortion, babbling about "family values", abortion).

They're quite predictable.

9. Meanwhile, our new GOPernor is going to run Ohio "like a business" . . .
. . . and he's already becoming another Bewsh; that is, living life in a selective, hard-question-free bubble. Piece of garbage.

7. Did they ever care about America's troubles?
Other than to create them for us, that is?
