Two GOP Lawmakers Apologize to House Colleagues for Missing Oath

You'd think they'd have some kind of 'mentorship' thing here...for newbies. But, surely, after being in government and politics up this point, they should have known not to have cast their votes without first being sworn in appropriately into the jobs they were elected (that's just basic government/civics 101 people)

Recall both these idiots, replace them with someone who owns a time piece, send a strong message and move on, they are rookies and really have no clue to whats going on anyway, McDonalds may have an opening they can fill, providing they can show up on time.

All the whiner and losers come up with accuaations which they never show proof of. How do you know why the two were late? You make up tales. litteral lies which no one pays attention to any more. These two were elected by a majority in their districts because it was the citizens desire for them not the media and progressive babblers, to represent them,

Well, as far as Pennsylvania goes, we're staying the course and looking foolish. The Repubs elected a known crook from my district and now we have this one who would rather party than take the oath! I'm a Repub who's embarrassed by the "vote Repub even if it's Satan himself" mentality and wonder how many of these it will take to wake them up!

what is even more disturbing to me is these are two so called NEW TEA PARTY representatives, you know the TEA PARTY who is running around the country claiming to be defenders of our constitution.

1. they miss the swearing in.
2. they vote as active members of congress in violation of our constitution.
3. They were holding a fund raiser on federal grounds in violaiton of the law.

Yes folks they asked for checks from the particpants made out to Mike Fitzpatricks campaign. I am a registered voter in PA and I am ashamed of who is representing us.

I remember when Pete first ran for congress representing a district in East Texas. I was in Athens one day and there was a small gathering of protestors outside of his congressional office. His high class staff pelted the protestors from a second story window with obscene cartoons about Clinton. Pete has real class. He abandoned his home district as soon as the state districts were redrawn in 2002, at the urging of the Tom "The Hammer" Delay, for a safer district in Dallas. His missing the oath just shows the high regard he holds his constituents in.

As Steve King, the Rep. from Iowa, said, "To doubt the mendacity of the speaker and the House leadership will put you in the spotlight!"

Just a start on what things will be like!!! Now lets forget about the jobs and REPEL everything so we can let the tea party think we are doing our job, just for them. WAKE UP TEA PARTY THIS IS THE WAY THEY WORK....

I sure hope this isn't an indication on how they will act "normally".

Okay people, buckle up! The 112th Congress is in session and it's going to be a bumpy ride. Right out of the gate the lumbering lummoxes tripped all over their large elephantine legs. Violating constitutional process, and reneging on their own promises to the American people. ...so what did you expect? It's a rerun.
