Comments on: New “House” Rule: Let’s Not Approve Anything the Senate Agrees On http://www.taxgirl.com/new-house-rule-lets-not-approve-anything-the-senate-agrees-on/ Paying taxes is painful... but reading about them shouldn't be.

The House delay in passing the extension for alternative energy tax credits is partisan politics once again impeding the passage of sensible and necessary legislation. The present US Congress spends far too much time shuffling bills back and forth and is far too absorbed in partisan issues, rather than working for the good of Americans. The extension of alternative energy tax credits is one small but important step this country can take, if the US is seriously committed to achieving energy independence. Partisan politics has clearly delayed it's passage. Any sensible legislation which promotes alternative energy, deserves passage without delay. The present Congress has little to it's credit as a legislative body. Our legislature has become a non-performing, mostly ineffective branch of government. Just as Wall Street and our banking system need a good cleaning, so does the US Congress. Your point is well taken.

It's an embarrassment that the first time a woman achieves a higher political office than any female has that she botches the job so badly. She will not bring anything to the floor that the public wants if she doesn't like it. What a dictator! She is such a liberal that she cannot fairly govern the house which is supposed to be closest to the people.

It was meant to be clever - and also indicative of a clear split between the House and Senate on key issues. I’m sorry that you thought the title was partisan; it wasn’t meant to be.

The public already knows after all this time that Nancy Pelosi, who needs to be removed from her position, has been disagreeing with everthing for years to spite the President, whom she has continuously, disrespectfully bashed, like her opinion is the only one in the whole wide world. These kind of brash, steamrollers are why I am an exDemocrat. It seems to me by your Title of this article that you are faulting the GOP but your article tells 2 sides of disagreement.
