“March towards the sound of battle!”
The House has passed a second CR to give Harry more time to get nominations through.
They passed the omnibus and a CR that went through Monday on the same night , and yesterday they passed another CR that goes through Wednesday.
Yet they wouldn’t pass one CR to let the new congress pass the budget! The sick, greedy weasels.
Thank goodness for people like Cruz Lee and Sessions
and for all the Freepers who called their Senators yesterday and asked them to support those 3.
Grasssroots DOES work. Votes DO matter.
HARRY REID SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT!!!!
Just because you don’t want to eat your peas doesn’t mean we didn’t feed you!
.... agree to allow a vote to defund Obama’s amnesty plans before they would agree to vote for the budget.
This will help us identify the GOPe traitors.
Since the Senate is still in Democratic hands, Harry Reid shouldn’t have needed the approval of three Conservative Republican Senators to get the CRomnibus passed — that is, if all of the Democratic Senators agreed to vote for the bill.
But we’ve known since at least Thursday that all of the Democratic Senators are NOT in favor of the bill — in fact, Elizabeth Warren and her liberal followers have made it known that they’re strongly against it, primarily because of the gifts to Wall Street and millionaire campaign donors it contains.
Harry doesn’t have enough votes or the bill would have been passed by now. Could it be that the Senate Republicans, even its RINO majority, are unwilling to vote for the bill so that Harry can go home for Christmas?
If Harry can’t get enough votes, the government will shut down, and then he can go home. Or, if the Senate Republicans stand firm, they can pass a series of short-term Continuing Resolutions until the new year is here and the Republicans take over the Senate and begin to carry out the mandate the voters gave them last month. Would Mitch McConnell be honorable enough to do such a thing?
Find it ironic that the senate democrat (in name only) party leadership would support their party leader namely the POTUS discarding the constitutional limitations by issuing defacto legislation enforcing a socialist agenda, which circumvents and violates the separation of powers as ruled in the constitution. But eagerly resort to manufacturing rules of the senate to halt any minority voice in the legislative democratic processes.
House Speaker Bohner used this occasion of issuing a CR (continuous resolution) which should have been limited to the time those who were elected and seated to review and correct or remove excessive expensive illegal mandates of federal intrusion into the very core of American culture.
Bohner wasted that opportunity and instead sold it to as a chance to use it to load it up with funding for addressing long sought projects or legislative correction rejected by the opposition for their socialist agenda driven reasons. Which could have waited once Republican control of both legislative houses was seated.
