In light of the already broken promises to impeach the President and support bi-partisanship, add this to the list.

Democrats vow already broken!

DEM VOW ALREADY BROKEN: HOUSE SETS 4-DAY WORK WEEK
Sun Jan 07 2007 15:03:38 ET

Democrats ran to expand the work week in the House to 5 days.

But guess how long that lasted?

Not even one week!

"Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week" front-paged the WASHINGTON POST in December.

Majority leader Steny Hoyer said members of the House will be expected in the Capitol for votes each week by 6:30 p.m. Monday and will finish their business about 2 p.m. Friday.

Explained the POST: "Forget the minimum wage. Or outsourcing jobs overseas. The labor issue most on the minds of members of Congress yesterday was their own: They will have to work five days a week starting in January."

But on the morning after the night before, on the first full week of the new congress, Hoyer has pulled back from his vow!

What's next? We now have a bunch of lazy people in Congress....again......no matter which side is in office....they think they can do whatever they want after elected.........

A Hoyer press release obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT boldly declares: "Monday, January 8, 2007: The House is not in session."

Hill sources claim The House is taking Monday 'off' this week, because of the championship football game between Ohio State and the University of Florida.

And, of course, the following Monday is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

100 hours...starting...soon

Fortunately, we are probably going to see many threads started by the cons on this subject.

It's just going to help point out what sore losers they are!

I love it!

OK, let me see here.

1) The house takes today off to watch a football game. Lame? Yup, but that's just one day.

2) Next Monday is MLK's birthday, and ALL government buildings will be closed, per existing statute.

So what does Goobieman post? That the Democrats are only going to work 4 day weeks for the duration of the 110th Congress. What does L - I - E spell?

Are the Bushneviks so whiney nowadays that they will make up stuff on the fly about their opponents, who not only bested them, but beat the crap out of them in the election?
