Get a clue Bonehead. You need Obama to pass this bill. Obama is poison. That should kill the bill. If does not, then it kills the GOP.
The fact that some media outlets are picking up on this “Cromnibus” moniker is a good sign. There must be a lot of GOP reps, even the ones who voted Yea earlier today, that will be uncomfortable being tied to such an ugly bill, particularly after all the grandiose promises made during the mid-term campaigns.
There is still hope this goes down, IMO. And I’m normally a glass-half-empty (or rather glass-completely-empty, no-hope-to-save-your-life!) pessimist. Or maybe I’m just in an unusually positive mood today, what with the holidays coming up....
Pray for God’s divine intervention to save our nation.
I’m just wondering, could this be the pissed off at Obama Democrats trying to get him back for wiping out their party?
Maybe they want to force Obama to deal with a Republican controlled Senate next year.
Been on hold for 11 minutes and counting! The switchboard must be melting down! (listing to classical music loop)
Poorly written article. I would like to know “how” the Democrats “fought back” attempts to change the Dodd-Frank Act and campaign reform/funding items. ‘
Did they win, even though they are in the minority, and if so, how? What House voting rules would let the minority successful “fought back” proposed changes.
Lots of bias in this article. The Hill used to be a very reliable source of information about Congress. Not so, now. Maybe they are trying to be a “mini-me Politico” which has lurched so far to the Left that it passed Tass and Pravda on the way out the door.
I have to admit this is really intersting to watch all this unfold. If the GOP was smart they should now sit back and let the rats blow this up.
Drudge says this bill has already passed: it was a foregone conclusion with the American people on the liberal side of so many issues now and conservatives powerless even to deny re-nomination to Thad Cochran.
What do you think now? LOL
Or not?
If what I’m reading is true then you were mostly right. Boehner told certain members that if they voted to close the rules what’chmacallit then he would shelve the bill and pass a CR.
Then, later that day, here comes the bill again.
So, you were mostly right. You just couldn’t have known that Boehner is such a complete liar.
