Democrats Already Breaking Vows

Posted on January 7, 2007

Gateway Pundit has been tracking the first 100 hours of the Democrats in power, so he should be all over this one soon. I could have easily predicted that this vow wouldn’t come to pass. Even if it does it won’t last long.

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!

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.

    And the Monday after that is “We F**ked the American People Over Yet Again” Day, and the Monday after that is…
