Are you serious with that statement or did you forget the sarc. tag? (Heck, you might find somebody here who might even think that you meant it.)
You nailed it. Both of those sick screwballs I’m guessin....
You can tell the boys at Jeb Bush headquarters we’re not buying your garbage. Now do us all a favor and go cry on some RINO website where you belong.
If more repubs had standards, a spine, character like Cruz & Lee, we might be making progress. Repub LIBs and “moderates” have always hated Conservatives. Screw’em.
Outstanding! Best FR December Troll beatdown yet! Ouch!
The heck with you. I don’t work for Bush or anyone else. I could accuse you of working for Ted, but then I would be as low as you.
Who do you support in 2016 Eric?
Ted is a good, born again Christian man.
I am sure you will think of something.
I think Ted is. Thank you. I love his rhetoric. The problem is, he screwed us all over in the Senate, by his own ego! And THAT is not an exaggeration.
Follow along for a basic explanation of what has transpired.
Cloture votes occur in the order they are filed, but after disposition of each bill or nomination that is the subject of the cloture petition.
For example, if Reid files cloture on bill A and bill B, one after the other, cloture on B only occurs after both cloture and passage of A.
Cloture, remember, is the procedure to cut off debate — not a vote on actual passage.
Last night Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) filed cloture on the CROmnibus.
-Today he is going through procedural votes to file cloture on a number of nominations.
Under Senate rules though, both cloture and final passage of the CROmnibus must occur before the cloture votes on nominations can happen.
Therefore, we will be in the same place by Monday as we would be if Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) hadn't objected to Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV).
A Senate source outside the Cruz and Lee offices with direct knowledge of the behind the scenes conversations tells me, “GOP leadership knew Reid was going to file cloture on up to 20 controversial nominations yesterday afternoon before they tried to move CROmnibus votes to Monday. They told us the process to clear non-controversial nominations had broken down because Reid was going to file cloture on these nominations. So they knew this was going to happen regardless.”
Another Senate source outside the Cruz and Lee offices tells me, “These guys are using Manu (a Politico reporter) as their stenographer. They’re really just pissed they have to work this weekend and that’s it. You can certainly tell who their friends are out in pundit land.”
I’m still not clear on what he is supposed to have lost us in the Senate, what results did he change?
The key to being taken seriously is to make statements with at least some small connection to reality.
Did you forget the sarcasm tag or are you really buying the liberal spin?
See Post #21. GMTA!
T.B.Y.S.P.P.
You are drinking right from the media lip-service if you beleive that Harry was going to wait for presentation of the liberal nominees.
This excuse presented by the media was , and is subtrefuge.
Do you honestly believe that Harry, inventor of "THE NUCLEAR OPTION" to violate tradition Senate rules, plays by the rules ?
Harry , the keeper of the pocket veto , who then lambastes Congress for not passing many bills, when in fact he sits on them.
A cheat always cheats ! A liar always lies ! You can't be that niave,.. or else , you are purposely obtuse
LOL! There is just no other sane explanation if not sarcasm...
