This is an article written a while ago but still holds true today, the Republicans are incapable of using The power that has been given them. They are not only Cowards but they are also Liars.....MJ

People are accustomed to seeing cowardly Republicans in Congress; they are used to seeing the cowards being slapped up and down the halls of Congress, why?  Because the Democrats have been in power of the US government, for most of the last 80 years. The Republican faithful almost always sat and watched the results roll in on election night, and at the end of the night were the Chicago Cubs, we will get them next year.  In 2008, we elect the “The Chief Thug – Obama” and after two long years of Democrat dictatorial rule, Republicans have gone from worst to first with a historical size win in the 2010 election.
Yeah!! Shouted the Republican faithful, and when they heard the future Speaker of the House John Boehner speak, the faithful shouted Yeah – again.  As the happy faithful looked on saying to themselves sanity, finally sanity in the Congress, the same old insanity prevails.  With this new and powerful mandate handed to Republicans to take the field for it – first order of business – and what? House Republicans cave in faster than a Chilean coal mine; a cave in to the Chief Thug in the White House on the last CR of 2010.
People often feel as if they are watching a fairy tale, or better yet a bad dream. Watching, as the Republicans cede their mandate to the bully Democrats who are slapping them around. Now the bullies are coming to the table with a fake tear in their eye saying we are ready to play nice now, can’t you see all the American people want us to get along and compromise?  The Republican party, given the power to change the history of the US back in the right direction, has disappeared.
The only people willing to follow through using the power they have, are the newly elected Tea Party Representatives. That does not include some who had tea party support and then dropped them like a hot rock.  But, it is why the Tea Party will never die; there are too many cowards still left that are not looking out for the people, but rather looking out for themselves.
We have much work to do.
About the only thing the cowards have done is slow down the progressive ideology of Obama from coming into affect, but even this has had limited success. President Obama has been circumventing congress to promote his agenda, any way he can:

“The lead of the New York Times story February 13 proclaims: “With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.” But constitutionalists ask, what “executive power” to make law?
Article I, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution begins: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.” (TheNewAmerican.com)

“For the Pentagon to deliberately circumvent congressional authority sets a new precedent for war powers authorization and sends the message to the world that American democracy is deeply dysfunctional,” Rep. Mike Honda (D., Calif.) said Monday.” (GodLikeProductions.com)

“So much for bipartisanship: Obama circumvents congress for six more recess [czar] appointments.” (ThoughtsFromConservativeMom.com)

“President Obama Looks to Circumvent Congress on 2nd Amendment:  With the new conservative Republican majority in the House of Representatives, President Obama is seeking new ways to enact gun control legislation.” (TruthAboutBills.com)

“Allen West: Obama Circumvents Congress on Gitmo” (Newsmax.com)

“ObamaCare Update: Obama Circumvents Congress to Appoint Death Panel Advocate” (FloridaPundit.com)

“Obama circumvents State Department, supports plan to give BBG $10 million.” (WashingtonExaminer.com)

The above links are just a few examples of Obama not following the Constitution which is, indeed, an impeachable offense.  Unfortunately, the Republican cowards in Congress do not even have the courage to stand up to runaway agencies like the EPA, which is running a muck – costing private business and tax payers hundreds of billions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of jobs, thanks to the executive office making legislative policy and imposing unlawful laws on America.
It must disgust many Americans that we busted our butts to give power to the Republicans we thought were dedicated to the Constitution; now dissolved due to the actions of a bunch of cowards in Congress who are either unwilling or too stupid to effectively use the power the voters handed to them in 2010.  It is doubly frustrating to the people to realize that, we can not fully turn our anger on the progressive party because we are being forced to destroy the Republican party first.
