GOP bends its own new House rules

[Townsend]

Second verse same as the first.

No matter who's got majority, it's still the same ol' crap.

That figures, though in defense of the Obamacare repeal, it's a two page bill from what I've heard.

I didn't.  I just like to complain.  I babble at the TV sometimes too.

In all fairness, this bill was written before they even swore in and they haven't even done the rules change yet.

So yes, they violated the rules they hadn't written or put in place yet.

I think it was the gobs of campaign promises stomped on.

Oh...and I blame the rise in last week's unemployment numbers on the new congress.

They have installed 3 C-Span cameras in each committee room though.  The committees will no longer be able to huddle in secrecy and come up with 3,000 page bills!  We will actually get to watch congressmen pull things out of their azses.

Except for the times the esteemed ladies and gentlemen request that the cameras be temporarily switched off.

Also in all fairness, the bill which they seek to repeal was cobbled together in much the same way with minimal (if any)  committee input and debate.
