It’s
sad that US House of Representatives minority politicians think they
must resort to a sit-in to be heard. It is sad that majority
politicians folded their tents and left (early). Guess they just
didn’t want to hear about it. This is the logical conclusion of
bull headed obstructionism. Tax payers pay Congress a great deal of
money, and all they can manage on gun legislation is “thoughts and
prayers.”
Lewis
wanted votes on gun legislation. That sent a shiver scurrying along
the majority benches looking for a spine to run up. They were
nowhere to be found. They couldn’t stay and be counted. Lewis is
right—his position is being farted off. Ryan is right—it’s
against House rules to take this vote.
So what happens, Ryan, if you
temporarily suspend the rules to deal with a genuine constituent
concern such as gun legislation? Does someone suddenly appear and
rap your knuckles with a ruler?
Right.
So let’s not try to BS anybody that this is anything but political
street fighting. And when it comes to bull headed obstruction, most
Americans know who has been carrying that ball for several years.
You can say you did your job and went home, but really you just went
home. You boogied!
Around
here, we’d like to see the majority party do a little less of the
Ryan Boogie and a little more of the peoples' business. We’ve been
waiting, while obstructionists praise themselves for personal courage
and see that nothing gets done.
