Had the men of 1776 and 1787 been such cheap and weak-kneed politicians as those in Washington today, no Declaration of Independence or Constitution for a free people would have come into being.
Instead those courageous men stood up to a King, placed their lives, property and sacred honor on the line and were willing to die to establish a place of liberty for their posterity. They were patriots and statesmen.
These politicians do not even approach statesmen status, and they do not even connect sentences together which can articulate the ideas of liberty for the youth of this nation in an hour of great consequence for the future of liberty in the world.
What a shame!
I just had to leave the room after the 3rd time Obama referred to the great McConnell/Reid plan!
I then called McConnell’s office in KY and left a message.
Guess we will all need to bend over will McConnell give us a dose of KY political screwing over!
To the contrary, McConnell is helping to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by undermining the House bill.
By offering liberals an alternative to point at he bolsters the message democrats are spinning that the house bill is too radical to warrant serious consideration.
In effect, he and the republicans on the Gang of Six have been helping democrsts by splitting the republican effort. We have republicans negotiating against republicans.
