"Limbaugh Rips Congressional GOP Leadership for Omnibus — Is Jeff Sessions "the Only Conservative Left in Congress?"
meanwhile, Katherine Timpth is my new Fox News babe
Appears so. Cruz did nothing, nor Rubio, and Paul. Campaigns are zero excuse to skip such impacting legislation. They should quit the senate and make room for people who might care.
Rush is right on this... we’ve got to start replacing the GOPe - from the top down...
CISA is tucked in the Omnibus
“Why was the CISA included in the omnibus package, which just passed both the House and the Senate? Because any “nay” votes - or an Obama - would also threaten the entire budget of the federal government. In other words, it was a question of either Americans keeping their privacy or halting the funding of the US government, in effect bankrupting the nation.
And best of all, the rushed bill means there will be no debate.
The bottom line as OTI’s Robyn Green said, “They’ve got this bill that’s kicked around for years and had been too controversial to pass, so they’ve seen an opportunity to push it through without debate. And they’re taking that opportunity.”
The punchline: “They’re kind of pulling a Patriot Act.”
And when Obama signs the $1.1 trillion Spending Bill in a few hours, as he will, it will be official: the second Patriot Act will be the law, and with it what little online privacy US citizens may enjoy, will be gone.”
