In Congress, GOP morale down since CHIP veto

Source: New York Times

WASHINGTON — Members of the White House communications team invited their Capitol Hill counterparts down to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. the other day to see how Republican morale was holding up in Congress.

The answer: Not so well.

Under fierce attack on children's health insurance, congressional Republicans are feeling a bit under siege.

"We are not happy, no doubt about it," said one of the senior Republican congressional aides who attended the Oct. 5 meeting at the White House and would talk about the internal session only without being identified.

Republicans say they have lacked a cohesive plan to counter the Democratic assault over the children's health insurance program that will be the subject of a veto override vote in the House on Thursday.

disgusting, actually.

and what the HELL do they expect when their fearful leader vetoes a bill with such support-demonstrating his absolute indifference to the welfare of the most vulnerable amoung us?

whahhhhhhhhhhhhh-this is YOUR leader, YOUR party, YOUR policies, so get a grip on your knickers already.

Whad did they expect...wine and roses? Beer and Ribs?

They have a Flawed Philosophy and now peeps are awakening to that fact....

Them Pubs don't care for the middle/lower class and its now becoming so...Obvious...

What can they do?...Quit the Republican Party and become a Recovering Member in the Rehab Center for Troubled/Converted Pubs...

Congressman X's wife works for Mr. Lobbyist and his daughter is doing an summer internship there, oh and they're all going to the
lavish holiday party to be held in the Bahamas.

I doubt they will find them without compromising their bill. Instead of 39 billion they may settle on twenty billion and leave out several millin children, just to say they won something...

given the stratospheric approval ratings they are currently enjoying. Oh wait.

About time they get their heads out of their asses and THINK before they vote. Damn. Can they possibly be this stupid?

People want representation, not dictators telling them what to believe.

The country is waking up and these people are crying that their lording-over-the-sheeple methodology isn't working any longer? Poor babies. Low morale is a bad thing to have to deal with.

Maybe they can all just vote themselves a nice big old pay raise so that they can feel better about life again.

:sarcasm:

assult they could not care less...it is what the PEOPLE WANT..AND THEY ARE OBLIGED TO GIVE IT TO US..IT'S OUR GODDAMNED MONEY YOU TYRANTS!

The true face of compassionate conservatism.

reelected, yet so many Republick chumps march in lock-step with Bushdick. Oh well, the whiney enablers get no sympathy from me. I hope every last one of them gets their ass handed to them by a Democrat.

Just how shrunken and deviant and perverted and corrupt is the republicon soul?
