Left revolts over funding bill

The Hill ^ | Dec 10, 2014 | Peter Schroeder

[what's up]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren urged Democrats Wednesday to withhold support for a massive government funding bill, as opposition on the political left mounted over a set of changes to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law buried in the legislation.

[what's up]

I think Schumer is the one who negotiated in favor of the Dodd Frank alteration.

What's Schumer thinking these days? First ratting on Obamacare...then ratting on Dodd Frank. Probably angling for Reid's job.

Elizabeth Warren is basically a terrorist, holding our government hostage! Doesn’t she know how many black babies will starve to death if she doesn’t feed the leviathan right now?

[DoughtyOne]

It's the Omnibscrewus bill.

[Vince Ferrer]

Shut down the government, Liz.

[fungoking]

Fauxahontas is on the warpath!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like paleface squaw’s feathers got ruffled.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Unlike Republicans, at least she’s willing to fight for her principles.

Shut down the government, Liz.

Of course. If Ted Cruz won't do it then the Dems will just have to do it for him. An obvious strategy. The GOP will be blamed regardless.

Obama: But if Ted Cruz doesn't ...
Valerie: We don't need no stinkin' Ted Cruz.

[right way right]

Gridlock seems to be our best hope for right now.

[struggle]

That would be great. In fact, why don’t all the Senate Democrats just go home?

Unlike Republicans, at least she’s willing to fight for her principles

Democrats have no principles to fight for. It's always show for the next election.

wonder what Hitlery is going to do to her if she runs against her in the primaries?

[lurk]

These massive 1500-ingredient slurries of bills and funding is pure corruption by both parties. This is unblinking, conscience-free iniquity, and 537 people are every one guilty.

“Unlike Republicans, at least she’s willing to fight for her principles.”

Winnah!

[hal ogen]

Why doesn’t this faux-squaw do something productive and go make the “homeless” some buffalo jerky?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I still don’t see Hillary running for “medical reasons” and her wanting “to spend more time with her grandbaby”. It’s headed that way.

[OneWingedShark]

Unlike Republicans, at least she’s willing to fight for her principles.

This is true, and illustrative of why the Republican party is not the solution.

[OneWingedShark]

Democrats have no principles to fight for. It's always show for the next election.

I'd be unwilling to paint the broad-brush there, unless you're talking about their leadership… but, in that case, they're exactly the same as the Republican leadership.

100% screwed!

[don-o]

I am getting the mental image of monkeys in a cage flinging poo. A pox upon all of ‘em.
