House rejects lame duck measure
The House of Representatives has rejected a GOP measure that would have prevented the chamber from meeting in a lame duck session after this year's November midterm elections.
Key Republicans believe Democrats may attempt to use such a session to advance controversial legislation - an idea publicly rejected by Democratic leaders.

Sure they won't...
They are going to try to ram more worthless, expesive, insanity down America's pipe.... it's costing them the house... so they will have nothing to lose
The Dems would NEVER do anything like that. No. Of course they deny it. Of course, they are politicians and their mouths are moving when they say they have no plans to do something like that. We can believe them! NOT!!!
I want my tax money back from any reps salary that will not go to work. ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Of coarse they rejected the lame duck measure. They've used every underhanded, back door measure they've been able to conjure up to pass unethical and unfavored bills on the American people, and aren't about to change now.
That's exactly what they intend to do. This way Obama will get his illegal's the amnesty he wants so they can vote for him. Also it will put the finishing touches on his failed health program. It is time when the polls open, EVERY FULL BLOODED AMERICAN TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND VOTE THESE DEMONS OUT OF OFFICE.
In other news, today is Monday. Who is surpised by this?
Isn't that exactly what the GOP did under Dubya .. one of the MANY political games they played to get away with WHATEVER they wanted?
Hey kettle .. this is pot.... you're black!
A lot of Congressional Dems are going to lose their jobs in November and, after that, what do they have to lose? The fact that they won't agree not to meet after losing elections tells me that, regardless of what they say now, they're almost certainly going to try to pass some liberal-agenda idiocy they know Americans don't want. Cap-and-tax comes to mind.
Now there's a shocker.
Hey loser democrats... if you're soooooooo certain you're not going to lose the house, you would have NO problem with this.
Scared much?
I don't trust the democrats as far as I can spit. There should be NO session of Congress between the election and the swearing in of the new set.
No the demoncrats would never force their horrible legislation down our throats..why would anyone even consider such a thing?
Anything is possible when it comes to Nancy Pelosi.
Lie, cheat, manipulate, back stab, I wouldn't be surprised by the likes of Nancy Pelosi I expect the worst from them and they never proved me wrong.
A proposal from Congress to keep Congress from having any power?
The Reichstag voted itself out of power, too...
wait a minute, isn't that what obamma did and what pelosi did?
I guess it's only wrong when a republican does it.
Does the Republican Party have anything positive to say about anything? What a hate filled group of people!
