Do you find it a little humorous?

That John Boehner and the Republicans criticize Harry Reid and the Senate for taking Sunday off?

This after they took off the entire month of August and thru Labor Day of this month.

When they have spent less time and done less work than any Congress in history.

They have had 9 months to fix this since the election and they complain that they are running out of time?

They are a worthless bunch of dregs, aren't they?

Not to mention free health care and a full pension...

People need to think about this shit when Congress is whining about minimum wage and "takers" and food stamps and TANF funds..


They spend an inordinate amount of time calling Americans "lazy". Funny thing is if people were actually paid for the actual work they do, the guy fixing my roof would be getting 6 figures and congress would be making minimum wage.

Senate and state seats. They can get paid huge salaries for doing nothing.

so the Dems can say...."Hey, we don't know what kind of drunken carousing you Republicans engage in, but we're good and honest, church going Americans so we were in bed and had our Sunday plans set by the time you finished with your drinking binge from Saturday night into the wee hours of Sunday morning."
