We The People Ask Congress to Stop Grandstanding.

Is the end-time at hand? To many, it may seem so. Birds are dropping out of the sky all over the place, fish are washing up on shores and Republicans are back in control of the House of Representatives. To prove it was providence that they are back in charge, they read the Constitution on the first day of their taking over. Well actually they read part of the Constitution. They left out some, like how much a slave is human, three fifths. Now on the face of it, such a reading might have been very moving. If they had asked someone with a voice like James Earl Jones' to do the honors, it might have sent a chill up our collective spines. But saner minds than mine chose instead to allow any member of the house to take part. That's right. Any member. Even Democrats. Those scoundrels who had forsaken the document were, never-the-less, invited to participate. So, what we got was a single sentence, followed by the next name being called. A wait in silience while he or she came to the mike, followed by one more sentence, followed by another name called, followed by, oh what's the use. The point is, the Republicans blew it. I will, however, give them credit for being the first ones in history to read it on the floor of the House, not withstanding that they cut out parts of the document that didn't feed their goal of making the Democrats look bad. Don't get me wrong, the next time the Democrats get back the power, they will surely come up with a way to try to make the Republicans look bad. Next up? A vote to repeal the Health care law. Of course the Republicans don't like to call it health care because it has a positive connotation. So they call it Obama care. I guess they have the votes in the house, but everyone knows it has zero chance to become law. Since that's so, how come they're wasting time when there really are important things to be done? Oh. Silly me. They're politicians.
