The dirty deals are done on holidays and in the middle of the night like our GOP and Democrat politicians did here in Pennsylvania back in 2005.
They raised the pay of judges, legislators etc. by some 16 percent during the July 4th holiday weekend.
The leaders get together, trade votes finding enough in each party to get the dirty deal passed.
Legislators who know we would throw them out are given protection by leadership (they get to vote NO and pretend to look good for the folks back home).
There will be lots of GOP guys who vote NO on the deal, but then continue to support their leaders like Boehner, Cantor, McConnell etc. etc.
Forget the phony deal that means nothing as spending continues to drive this country into the debt abyss.
Its time to tell the ones who vote NO on this and beat their chests claiming to be conservative they have to separate themselves from the business as usual GOP political leadership like Boehner.
Remove them from leadership of the GOP or put your words into action with a third party caucus in Congress not associated with the liberals who lead the GOP.
Well said.
