Invite Joe Lieberman for the day. Let him sit in Harry’s chair.
My thought exactly. As soon as all the dems walk out, Boehner & McConnell bar the doors, ask Bibi if he wouldn’t mind cooking his heels for a few minutes, then quickly hold veto override votes on the three or four bills Obama will have likely vetoed by then.
Probably wouldn’t work. Graham, McCain, and a few other useless GOPe types would refuse to go along. Comity and all that, you know (the dems of course wouldn’t hesitate to pull this kind of scrap).
Anyway, at least we can dream.
Former Senators have permanent floor access rights. They can’t hold the floor, but they certainly can cheer and clap.
“cooling” his heels, not “cooking”. I guess I can’t blame that on autocorrect, since l & k are adjacent to each on the keyboard.
Especially to their Jewish constituents. OTOH the Jews in this country may not even care since they seem to be liberals first.
I agree. I just hope we make a list of all the dems who run away .. which will be useful for any of them who are running for re-election in the next 2 years.
Too late.
Obama has made the dems toxic to Jewish donors .. because of his actions toward Netanyahu.
Besides, Cruz has been having some really, really good meetings with Jewish groups.
If the dems get up and leave when Netanyahu arrives .. it may cause the Jewish donors to abandon them .. as well as a lot of their Jewish voters.
And will do so forever
“I wonder if the Republicans have the gumption to hint at or speak openly of the democrats growing antisemitism especially if they are stupid enough to go through with this stunt.”
If the dems do go through with it, that would be an excellent time to point out their antisemitism. Would the media report it?
Something happened to my tag line . I wonder how log it’s been like that? This is the corrected on.
The constant kerfufflng is going to increase the watching audience - - gotta love it
I’m thinking they’ll show up - they just don’t want to say so publicly and then have the wrath of He Who Thinks He is God pound them from now to then.
O’bumbles doesn’t carry a lot of clout with them now - they’re already making decisions with regards to 2016. They’re gonna be more concerned about the Jewish vote than O’’Bumbles
That is a very important point. Obama has never had coattails, and he is an anchor now to many Dems.
That is why I am hopeful for overrides of his vetoes. The DEms,, being rats, know when to leave a sinking ship.
Amen
As one other Freeper put it yesterday, f’em.
“I’d be more than happy to meet with opposition leaders if they want to meet with us, give them opportunities, etcetera,” Cardin told BuzzFeed News. “But if the Prime Minister of Israel addresses a joint session of Congress, I would be there.”
Combined General and Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Don't think that even most of the current Jewish donors to the 'Rats would be considered pro-Israel, and certainly the vast majority have absolutely no love for Netanyahu. No, the current crop of Jewish donors to the 'Rats are more interested in supporting "Osama" Obama's perverse agenda than Israel's very survival. Those 'Rat Jewish donors who really care about Israel would have no choice but to have gotten off the Obama bandwagon by now.
Therefore, those Jewish 'Rat donors who still remain would (with perhaps a handful of exceptions) have no qualms about 'Rat Congresscritters not attending the Netanyahu address to Congress. Furthermore, few would even notice those absences because no roll call will be taken and you can bet that the MSM won't be inclined to name the absentees.
If they time it right they can ratify the articles of impeachment sent over by the House that morning and impeach Obama and his friends.
