You have to love how our representatives keep proving that they have no business representing us. All incumbents must go.

Given the choice between winning the wars in Iraq & Afganistan and having having President fail on some issue, they would want the President to fair. That's realy how patriotic they truly are.

Can there be anything more ridiculous? I guess we owe more to China then they are letting on. We must have chinese puppets in DC.

Good to know the House has officially solved all of America's problems, and can now move on to more pressing votes such as this one!

GET TO WORK.....high taxes , afganistan , helath care , and this bozo comes up with this.. know wonder we think congress is a joke...

Well if you can pass a resolution honoring Conficuis then it's only fair we have one to Honor God........Oh that's right, there's a double standard. Truth be told, God's word has made more of an impact on the world..not accounting for man's interpretation being poor . His word still impacts for the better on social, moral, economics, family values, yada yada.....try quoting him sometime.

What a joke! I can't believe they wasted time on that. Last time I checked this is america, right?

Of course the GOP is going to oppose this. In their minds the Earth, the sun, the moon, and all the planets revolve around God's Blessed America. Their concept of "time" begins with 1776, but they pretty much just make up history prior to 1980.

The GOP is now and will forever remain stuck in the 20th century.

Yup, the GOP wants to bypass stuff like this and vote for real issues: like authorizing the invasion of Iraq, deregulating the banks and keeping corporate tax loopholes open. They sure have been anxious to get things done over the last 8 years.

Now if they had referred to him correctly as K'ung-Tzu, it would have passed unanimously.

Actually it was a vote on the Obama administration.......................Confused!

I think we should share Arnold's memo with our US Congress.

This is indeed a frivolous use of precious time given the nation's economic and budget crisis.

And the 13 who voted 'present' will be running for President in 2012.

Well first it was the obama administration love affair with Mao, now confucious. Wish they would worry about america and lot the communist chinese worry about China.

Don't these people have anything better to do with their time and our tax dollars?

Something should be said here, but I'm really speechless.

I'm sure happy to hear they have no pressing issues to work on. This is beyond silly, it is simply stupid. I hope we CLEAN HOUSE in 2010!

Do they not have anything better to do?

He who gives stonewalls on healthcare reform will himself out of job next fall.

If my congressman introduced such a bill, I would have a big problem with him. If I was a congressman, I would introduce a bill that would make introducing meaningless measures like this a crime. It seems that alot of congressmen will do anything to avoid working on the real problems.

I'm glad they have nothing more important to do in Congress. I guess this means all is well with the world and the state of things, since they have time to play.

....but they will propose a vote on a resolution honoring the 9/12 teabaggers? Give me a break.

What's the price tag for even voting on this bill and what have we gained? How about we take a vote on Lao Tzu, Mohammad, Christ etc. Green's lucky he's not in my district or head be on his way out.

Along with taking away 90% from the Wall St. CEO's we should take 90% out of every congressperson and senator for wasting time on stupid stuff like this. How many trees had to be cut down and how big the carbon foot print for the Democratic Congressman to wish the dead old dude a happy birthday?

Do matter how you feel on energy, economy, health care, or Afghanistan, shouldn't they being using their 1 day work week to do something more?

If they worked for me they would be one of the 500,000 applying for unemployment this week.

The blame goes to both parties for bringing up resolutions that has nothing to do with the nation's business. The statements made thus far goes to show you they will use it for political advantage .

No wonder nothing gets accomplished at the national level of government.

I think the gesture and the sentiment behind it is nice, but I have to agree that there are more pressing issues to be resolved. Considering all the hot topics these days, this seems a bit random. Hmm....

It is really time for term limits on all the members of Congress!!

What a joke! Are we really paying these people to govern our country?

Rep. Jason Chaffetz has voted against everything since he was voted in office. It's great to see that he is voting against the middle class and his constituants. Voting against Confusius just keeps his record at 100%.

What a waste of time and money. I wish we could have 435 new people in those seats next election. It might not be any better, but it sure couldn't be any worse.

So this is what the idiots are doing during their three day, all expense paid week! Frankly I would rather see them voting on this kind of bull than spending more of my taxpayer dollars on supporting the lives of people in this country who wouldn't move off the couch to save their own.

Confucius said "The political correctness of your high official will degenerate your society"

Wooow he was really right!
