I'm taking my ball and going home

The jobs bill is trying to get people back to work. There's a smallpox outbreak in Uganda that could spread into a global catastrophe if not contained. The US and Russia are working to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. Financial reform is trying to prevent another meltdown like the Bush Recession.

But Republicans are holding up the entire Senate by providing amendment after amendment to the already passed health insurance reform bill. Mind you, not useful things, just time-wasting things. They have scores of amendments just to change dates in the bill back and forth. Oh yea, and this element of health insurance reform that is now topping the GOP wish-list: Brownback 3690 -- “To provide for the relocation of the United State Embassy to Jerusalem.”

Sadly, it doesn't stop there. Republicans to veterans: screw you! We're going to throw a temper tantrum and don't care if you get hurt. We're also shutting down national security committees, and hearings on training Afghan police to take over security of Afghanistan, so don't think you rate as important in our eyes.

And the “stunning assault on liberty” that Democrats have "forced" on America by following the will of the people? The irony is that Republican leaders Richard Nixon,
Bob Dole, and Bill Frist all embraced the idea before this.

What a bunch of whiny, bratty, spoiled children now that they're not getting their way completely. I'd be embarrassed if my representatives behaved that way.

So, in other words John, you will continue to "stay the course" and continue to do absolutely nothing to benefit your constituents. Since this has been the case since Bill Clinton was first elected, how is this a revelation?

Your continued irrelevance has been duly noted, Senator.
