It's Stuff Like This

that points up how pointless the Republican Party has become -- they have nothing to offer, they just spend their time trying to muck up whatever someone else (read "that black Kenyan Muslim usurper in the White House") is trying to do:

A group of 23 Republican members of the U.S. House wrote President Obama on Thursday asking him to hold off on certification of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal until Congress can review the Defense Department’s policy changes that would lead to open service.

“Given the necessity for congressional review, which has been limited to this point, we respectfully request that you refrain from transmitting certification until Congress has had sufficient time to review pending legislative matters of policy and law,” the letter states.


"Limited"? Hey, asshole, you voted on the bill that laid out the process. Maybe you don't like the idea, but let me remind you of the favorite right-wing congressional mantra from the Bush years: The Majority Rules.

They had a vote and your side lost. Man up and offer us something that might help fix some real problems.
