Good idea in principle to pass regular appropriations bills, but since Pillosey and weirdo Harry have spoken, Bonehead and McTurtel will follow their commands. We have no Republican leadership in either body.
No, they should use the nuclear option and pass the budget bills and send it to Obama to pass or veto. Then let the world know over and over, if he vetoes the bills, then Obama himself is responsible.
Don’t let the press or democrats get the upper hand on reporting this. If they whine about the nuclear option, say the issue is too important to wait, just like Harry did when he ran the Senate to get Obama’s judges and other appointments passes.
