House Republican leaders are putting two key Senate bills on hold.
Legislation to overhaul the Postal Service and farm-and-food-support programs may have to wait until after November. GOP leaders do not want to ignite internal party disputes or risk voters' anger. The farm bill could force fiscal conservatives from rural areas to vote against farm subsidies. On the postal bill, they would have to signal their support for ending Saturday delivery service or go against the party establishment. This was Congress' last week in Washington until September. The House hasn't scheduled either bill for a vote.
Bloody cowards. You can tell where their priorities are, can't you? The politician exists solely to be re-elected. We need to limit the number of election cycles for congressmen like we do the Pres.
