Ted Cruz for Senate Majority Leader!
Pussy. And not in a good way. Isn’t McConnell dead yet?
“Yet the Stupid Party still gets snookered.”
No. This isn’t stupidity. No group of individuals is that stupid.
What we have here is active collaboration. A uniparty system. The vast majority of the political class is playing on the same team. Once tou accept that, the pieces fall into place very quickly.
I see the Can’t-Do-Nuffin’ Party “leadership” is still hard at work doing, um, nuffin’...
“Republican senators keep on explaining why they need to surrender to Obama.”
They spend a lot of time “explaining why they ... surrender to Obama”, except never mention the real reason they consistently do the wrong thing, i.e., that they’re being blackmailed. Rush alluded to this a month or so ago. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
Jar-Jar:”My give up!”
If Trump gets in hopefully he can incentivize the Republican Senators into deep-sixing Mitch McConnell who is only suited to be a mediocre back bencher. Don’t be shocked. If Trump wins big a new era of Trumpism will come to DC and senile old stooges will be broomed out or will just pack up quick and get the heck out of town
Dittos for tipsy John Boehner
Norm: any way people would have voted, the result would have been the same. Cloture on TPA passed with 60 votes. Even more telling was the vote on the Corker bill that gave us “ nuclear annihilation in our time.” The margin on that was 98-1. You would think that there would at least be a handful of holdouts. But no, there was just one. There isn’t even a trace of an opposition in Washington. Thry’re on the same team. To a man.
Our elections are just as rigged as those held in the old soviet union. At least they had the intellectual honesty to have only one name on the ballot.
I think you summed up the situation perfectly. Senator McConnell is correct that President Obama will definitely veto anything that defunds PP, and Republicans do not have the votes to override a veto.
HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean Republicans should simply fold. If Obama wants to fight for hacking babies up, then let him cast his veto! Republicans should do everything possible, including nuking the filibuster, to show that they do not tolerate infanticide. It’s called taking a stand for principle!
Stopping the Persians at Thermopylae was clearly futile for the Spartans; that’s why they didn’t even try, right?
Mitch McConnell is an exercise in futility.
Listen up Myrtle the Turtle, until you stand up for the rights of the unborn, win or lose, you’re nothing but a cowardly, game playing crap weasel.
If the Democrats held the majority, they wouldn’t even hold a vote to defund Planned Parenthood. Republicans, on the other hand, will at least stand on principle...er...
Dear Mitch,
We want their votes on record on both the initial vote and the override vote.
Why can the republicans allow our anti-Semitic president to get a special made to order vote on Iran which turns the constitution treaty provision on its head, but we can’t try to excise funding for abortion that’s channeled through Planned Parenthood?
MITCH: MAKE OBAMA SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN SO PLANNED PARENTHOOD CAN SELL BABY PARTS!!
YOU LOUSY WORM!!!!
If Bhoner and Mitch had been replaced with freshman powerless Dems, we would NOT have this. THEY CAUSED this.
We WOULD still control both houses though.
Oooh. Sounds like a good vanity thread
Gotta have the House Gotta have the Senate Gotta have the White House Gotta have the Court Gotta have the media.
When will it end?
