112th Congress has a big problem

Under the leadership of John Boehner, Paul Ryan and Bill Young, Congress is on pace to make history with the least productive legislative year in the post World War II era, USA Today reports.

Just 61 bills have become law to date in 2012.

Meet Sen. Bill Nelson's opponent

Published on Aug 2, 2012 by nelsonforsenate

This ads is factual unlike the attacks against Senator Nelson that have been funded by Las Vegas billionaire, Sheldon Adelson.

"Florida, meet Connie Mack the Fourth,” says the narrator. “A promoter for Hooters … with a history of bar room brawling, altercations and road rage … a trail of debts, liens and unpaid bills. He has
one of the worst attendance records in Congress this year … but voted to end Medicare as we know it.”


If you think Connie Mack IV could never be elected, think again! 

Florida elected Gov. Rick Scoot after repeated warnings about his man's shady past.  


Scott lived up to expectations and now has the lowest approval rating of any governor in the US.

US 112th House has 16 per cent approval

This the house that John "Boohoo" Boehner built.

Whatever you may think about Nancy Pelosi, Rightardia thinks she would be a huge improvement.

Austerity chokes business and government

The European governments tried austerity and the US economy with its its stimulus outperformed the euro zone.

For the past two years, the 112th congress has passed a record low of 75 bills and reduced spending to slow the economic recovery in the US.

Perhaps the aim was make Presidnet Obama look bad. The 112th Congress was rated with a 17 per cent overall favorability rating when it went out-of-session.

Is it fair to call the 112th Congress: "Do Nothing?"

In 2011 4,288 bills introduced in the Congress and it was anticipated that 200 would become law.

The 112th Congress didn't even get 100 passed into law.

Yes, it is a "do nothing" congress. This may explain why this congress had the lowest approval rating ever (17 per cent overall) in the history of the Gallup poll.

112th Congress is in deep doo doo

ploaded by DCCCVideo2012 on Aug 31, 2011

More than three weeks into recess, House Republicans continue to take heat from their constituents for their failed budget priorities and for choosing to protect millionaires and Big Oil instead of protecting Medicare and seniors. 

The temperature is rising for House Republicans as they try to defend the indefensible.

The approval rating of the 112th congress is 13 per cent, the lowest in US history since Gallup started conducting this poll in 1974.

Gallup: Congressional approval at 17 per cent

Congress' approval dropped slightly to 17 per cent from last month's 18 per cent.


This is the same as it was just after last November's midterm congressional elections. 


The current rating is just four percentage points above the all-time low of 13 per cent in December.

Poll is Bad news for Congressional Republicans

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Public Policy Polling (PPP's) newest national poll finds that after a little more than 3 months in charge House Republicans have fallen far out of favor with the American public. It's entirely possible Democrats could take control of the House back next year.

Forty three per cent of the voters think that House Republicans are doing a worse job now than the Democrats did. Only 36 per cent think the GOP has brought an improvement.

19 per cent think things are about the same.

62 per cent of voters think that the Republicans have either made things worse or brought no improvement.

Forty six per cent of voters say that if there was an election for Congress today they would vote Democratic, compared to only 41 per cent who would vote Republican.

That five point advantage for Democrats is only a hair below the margin Republicans won by in the national popular vote last year.

DCCC: Republican Hypocrisy on Health Insurance Reform

Jan 04, 2011

What a difference a couple of months make. During the 2010 campaigns, House Republican candidates affiliated with the Tea Party ran strongly against “government health care.”

Most Republican Freshman are refusing to say whether they will accept government funded health care as a Member of Congress. A few Members-elect have honored their campaign rhetoric by refusing to accept congressional health care:

• *Representative-elect Bobby Schilling (IL-17) – “Schilling, R-Ill., told us on ABC’s ‘Top Line’ today that he’s staying true to his outsider status, refusing a congressional pension in addition the health care coverage that members of Congress are entitled to receive.” [ABC News, 11/17/10]
• Representative-elect Mike Kelly (PA-03) – “A caller to C-SPAN’s Washington Journal asked Representative-elect Kelly, who “strongly opposes” the health care law, if he would be willing to give up his government-sponsored health insurance. Kelly said that he would.” [Think Progress, 11/18/10]
• Representative-elect Joe Walsh (IL-08) – “Another newly elected Republican member of Congress says he will not accept the government-sponsored health insurance plan available to lawmakers. Rep.-elect Joe Walsh (Ill.), who rode a wave of Tea Party support to defeat three-term Rep. Melissa Bean (D) in November, said he does not believe lawmakers should receive the benefits.” [The Hill, 12/26/10]
• Representative-elect Bill Johnson (OH-06) – “Rep.-elect Bill Johnson (R-OH) says he won't take Congressional health care benefits.” [Hotline, 12/2/10]
  

Despite their campaign rhetoric and public opinion, most incoming Republican Freshman will not say whether they will accept government health care.

Their silence can only mean one thing: Republican Freshman will hypocritically take government funded health care even though they ran campaigns against it.

“Most Americans think incoming Congressmen who campaigned against the health care bill should put their money where their mouth is and decline government provided health care now that they're in office.” [Public Policy Polling, 11/23/10]

Don’t let your Representative stay silent!  Ask Freshman Republicans whether they will accept government funded health care, despite their campaign against it.

Rightrdia thinks the GOP made a strategic mistake by opening the new Congress with an health care repeal effort. 

The Democrats spent a year getting the the Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 passed and quite frankly Rightardia thought it made the Dems look slow and plodding.

The Democrats should sandbag Boehner on health care repeal and use every trick in the book to stop the repeal cold. 

The Republicans have already exempted health care repeal and the estate tax from deficit reduction rules. 

The GOP has essentially admitted that Obamacare does, in fact, reduce the deficit and  that the estate tax compromise to a $5 million estate threshold will increase the deficit. This is cynical politics.

Why is the GOP wandering into the health care tar patch again? We suspect they have been ordered to do it by the big health care corporations.

The GOP Congress would have been smarter to open with a jobs bill. As Rightardia has pointed out, few GOP administrations have been interested in creating jobs. 

Bush's bragged about the increase in US worker productivity which means employers can get by with fewer workers.

112th Congress: Send in the clowns!

The worst Congress in the United States has been seated.  

One Republican, Allen West, is a war criminal and another one, Tim Griffin , is just a plain old criminal.
