The GOP In Congress — Time To Grow Some Hair!

As usual, The Anchoress is saying it better than I would:

Especially now that Nancy Pelosi – as incompetent a House Speaker as has ever held the post – has decided that Congress does not even have to send the president whole and complete bills (staggering arrogance!), if the GOP does not find the gumption to first DEMAND a revote and then do a 180 and represent the will of the people over their own fat, they deserve to lose everything, for the foreseeable future.
{…}
I really believe in my heart that Americans are dying for someone – anyone -to stop accepting media storylines, PC framings and a status-quo of illusion, mediocrity and feckless double-talk, and just be straight and firm on these issues.
{…}
When the congress is out of control – and it seems not only out of control but out of its mind – do not the other two branches of government have a basis to step in? I’m no scholar, so it’s a serious question.

There’s lots o’ good stuff inside those ellipses — go and read it all.

What got her so hot and bothered was the machinations of the Pelosi folks, who managed to send the farm bill to President Bush for signing, but conveniently left out parts of it. Gee, that’s real open and honest democratic government for ya! Ed Morrissey at Hot Air was the spark:

The balance of power in American government counts on an open process on legislation between Congress and the executive branch. That requires Congress to provide the President with a complete copy of bills to determine whether to sign or veto them. Any hidden provisions not submitted to the executive should render the entire legislation invalid.

Democrats had Republicans in trouble with their base for their votes on this bill. Instead of just taking their time and letting the GOP twist in the wind, they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with underhanded and potentially unconstitutional maneuvering.

Gotta luv them Dems — they sure like to step in their own mess. The Anchoress is right though — time for the Republicans in Congress to grow some hair!

    Use Executive Orders (National Security) to open up USA oil drilling, coal gasification and refinery capacity and thereby drive down OPEC ability to set inordinately high retail gas prices in the USA. When OPEC’s cartel and other American-hating rouge producer nations are no longer in charge, the barrel price of oil will drop like a rock. Just the threat of the USA gearing up domestic production will improve USA pricing. Our option to oil independence is a slow slide into secondary world status.
