Worse than useless.
McConnell, McCain, Lamar Alexander, Corker....
“.....Senate Republicans are not satisfied with the House GOP debt-ceiling plan because it would do nothing to re-open the government...........”
Americans and the low info voters have no idea it's a lie nor know anything about anything really.
Hold the line Republicans .keep the useless government shut down and don't cave on the debt ceiling.
99% of gov agencies are useless and only oppress and take away our freedom
Only 967 Billion, gee thats less than a trillion. /s
DITCH MITCH.
Flame away - I’d take it, and use the issue of Fairness of Obamacare for House, Senate, and Spite House staff as a campaign issue.
This is an opportunity for Cruz to take charge again.
C’mon senate... hold the line. How could they think this would help?
just damn!
Dang, my office pool bet was 11 days. I might just make some money on this one. Thanks empty suits!
The GOOBs! Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The Kenyan and his Alinskyites win again.
NO-NO-NO!! STAND STRONG, GOP; DON'T CAVE YET AGAIN.
Time to donate money to Matt Bevin.
2011 Budget Control Act
*********
A complete farse. More feel good legislation that accomplishes nothing except to fool a gullible populace — again and again.
NO to the medical device tax repeal these Republicans (those unwilling to fight) ARE Useless!
People are way, way too wrapped up in the ballgame aspects of this, and are not paying attention to the legitimacy issue (this means you, John Boehner).
The House of Representatives exists for one simple reason - to embody the will of the People, to exercise their RIGHT of self-government, and as a sub-purpose TO CONTROL TAXATION AND SPENDING. They are elected every two years for a reason, and that reason is to ACCURATELY REFLECT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
THIS PARTICULAR HOUSE was elected in response to Obamacare. It was elected by the People, not by “Tea Party anarchists” or “arsonists”, and it was elected for a specific reason, which was to overturn and undo an act of the previous House, which was thereby clearly and convincingly shown, in the only available non-bloody way, to NOT be the will of the People.
NO ACTOR IN THIS DRAMA IS MORE LEGITIMATE THAN THE GOP MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE. Not the Senate, not the President, certainly not the Supreme Court.
Yes, the People can and do change their minds. Yes, the People may, as a result of what is happening now, kick out the GOP and return the House to the communists.
But, in the meantime, NO ONE has more right than the House majority to stand their ground and do what the sovereign sent them there to do.
Well, it IS The Hill LOL!
The article doesn’t cite enough traitors for Harry to stop the House from raising the debt ceiling.
They know what they’re talking about in the article will lose them seats in the Senate next year so unless there’s something a whole lot better in the works nothing will come of this.
