Even the Weiner as tiger metaphor. You see tiger. I see whining temper tantrum from a spoiled child who needs his diapy changed. In either case it's just opinion. The stuff you're trying to represent as fact doesn't even make that grade.
Showed you the real stuff though so in your face you couldn't back up like:

(partial) List of Bills The Republicans Have Blocked


Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas-

The Small Business Jobs Act

Enhancements to the Troops-to-Teachers Program.
Fiscal year 2011 increase in military basic pay.

Comprehensive policy on neurocognitive assessment by the military health care system.

Anti-Rape Amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill

Benefits for Homeless Veterans-

The Jobs Bill- Offsets the payroll tax for 1 year
for companies that hire new employees, or people receiving unemployment
insurance. Also gives other tax incentives to companies hiring new
employees. Republicans attempted to block this.

Wall Street Reform- Puts stricter regulations on the
banks, preventing them from becoming “too big to fail”. Curbs reckless
spending practices that caused the banking crisis. Republicans attempted
to block this.

Immigration Reform-
...
...
...and the list as they say goes on
We need an Anthony in the congress now. To stand up to the bully blocking millionaires' cheerleaders.
Even their own Speaker can't stand them.

Fascinating stuff, I'm sure, but I bet you were hoping I wouldn't notice it has absolutely zip to do with the stuff I was calling bullsh*t on concerning Weinie, and how he went down for his indecent exposures.

What the Hell though, if you don't want to talk about Tony your Tiger anymore, I have some hope for you. I can help you with this...

You still have a guy who can get outrageously outraged for you.

Remember self-confessed socialist, and co-founder of the Progressive caucus Bernie Saunders? Believe it or not he's still around. He might be getting a little senile in imagining a passed Senate budget, but he's still around, and can still get outraged.

BERNIE SANDERS 5/15/12 - YouTube

I listen to Berny every other day on Chicago Progressive Talk. He talks for a good while. Always gives valuable information.
I have a great deal of respect for him and zero respect for the little turd with the youtube camera and microphone.
Old Berny got him told about medicare didn't he?
There ought to be a law against young punks harassing congressmen like that. Especially elderly and kind ones like Sanders.
No respect. That is what Republicans are all about today. They don't respect anybody so I have lost a lot of respect for them and all respect for their minions.

You'll have to excuse me while I kill myself laughing. The image is still in my head of Bernie damned near spitting his dentures in the kid's face, because he didn't believe the senile old fart when he invented a passed Senate budget that never actually happened.

I saw that differently. I saw it that he answered the kid's questions an then the spoiled child challenged him on it. You don't ask a congressman a question and then almost call him a liar. That is disrespectful. I don't like that and it is a good part of the reason I have shed the rest of my allegiance to the GOP. That and my rep lying to me, but that's another subject.

How dare this kid that this old man gives his time and attention to act like a junior OKeefer.
The question was disingenuous. The Republicans are blocking budgets every time they come up. We have gotten budgets but right now there are 5 different versions. Republicans want to increase pentagon and cut social programs and dems want to tax the rich. So instead of compromise the Republicans are out there saying :we don't have a budget!" And trying to blame it on anyone but themselves.

He specifically asked him about a Senate budget, and asked him more than once. Saunders said a budget had been passed in the Senate.

Show it to me.

Politicians are your servants and employees. They are not to be your masters, nor your royalty. At the State level and above, and often at the local level they are well compensated for their time and trouble.

A politician who forgets these facts is no more deserving of any particular respect than a janitor who thought himself the CEO in a large company.

People who feel otherwise are encouraged to find a monarchy and emigrate.

Berny fights for his constituents who are not rich, not empowered and not who the Republicans fight for. You haven't even read what I wrote so why should I continue with this one sided effort?

Translation - You couldn't find a Senate Budget. Wanna know why? It doesn't exist.

Translation you want to make this about YOUR video not mine.
Here's another tidbit we could use a young loud screamer on the floor for:
Republicans are blocking parts of a domestic violence bill that would protect immigrants, Native Americans and people of different sexual orientation.
