Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week
This quote is priceless, it pretty much sums up everything wrong with the GOP.
"Keeping us up here eats away at families," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. "Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."
This is Representative's Kingston's response to the suggestion that he should have to work 5 days a week for his tax payer paid six figure salary. If you need any further evidence of how out of touch with reality the GOP is you need not look any further. Amazing these are the same people that can't imagine why it would be troubling for someone to work 80 hours a week to feed their family on minimum wage, but they can't be bothered to actually do what most of us tax payers have to do to fund their six figure salaries. It's disgusting how vile the Republicans in Congress really are. This is the modern Republican party folks from bottom to top, these are the "values" that someone has when they say they are a Republican. It's never too soon to start campaigning against these incompetent fools for 2008.

ugh. Vile, indeed. That quote makes me sick. Must be nice only working, what does it turn out to be, like one full day?!? Maybe, with the Democrats in power, things will actually get done!

The quote is stupid; but the more days Congress works, the more nervous I get because it will give liberals more time to screw up the country, raise taxes, and try to import their brand of demented socialism...

It's funny, when I look at it, it's an opportunity for Liberals to fix all the crap that the conservatives screwed up. Go figure.
