According to Special Report, a cadre of Quislings in the House are planning a revolt against not only the conservative majority, but the leadership as well.
No doubt led by Peter King who recently insinuated he was not going to continue playing 'Cruz' game', this group will vote with the rats to block our next volley to the senate, the hardest one yet for them to reject.
We cannot allow this. If you are a Freeper and think your rep might be involved in this treachery, melt the phone lines and fill the inboxes. No insurrection can be afforded at this point. Time to tranquilize the RINOS.
Did I hear that Reid sent the Senate home?
Judging from the rules vote, looks like RINOs and hard-core conservatives voting nay.
RINOs don’t seem to have much oomph, maybe Boehner is finally showing them some discipline.
Yea, but most of them came AFTER the 218 was reached. COWARDS!
When Dims get 1 Pubbie vote on their bills they call that bi-partisan, too.
Why are we cheering? Is it certain the Senate will vote this down?
Vee did it.
Because we did not fold
One battle at a time.
Thanks for the heads up. C-Span cannot get enough of Bammy’s *presser* from earlier, today. Barf.
waitin to see the list of r’s voting south
senate
Reid is crying about the congressial staff
dont go there without your violin and a BIG hanky
SOB
Wow...nail biter is putting it mildly. Shouldn’t even be that close. Maybe they were out to dinner and got in at the last minute ;)
Looks like Reid is filibustering. LOL.
I guess there was some concern over a rumored revolt from some Repubs. That got tamped down.
Yep Senate votes it down and then, I expect Obama to issue an Executive Order. Might as well get on with The Grand Plan.
Help me with this letter which I will be faxing to whoever deserves it.
“Dear Sir,
It is my humble opinion that it’s time you really spoke “truth to power” when you take to the floor, or to the press microphones, and tell the truth to the American people. It is your only chance to save your self and your family. You have an obligation to warn your constituents that the freebies will soon be over, so they can prepare.
We are bankrupt. There is not enough production (manufacturing) in the USA, therefore not enough tax-payer revenue, to pay our bills, never mind our accumulated debts.
We are at risk of being blackmailed by nations like Russia and China, who, at the drop of a hat, could dump our treasuries, and our fiat dollars. Actually, I think this has happened, from watching our President and Secretary of State’s fumbling mess of “foreign affairs. Nothing else could explain the weird behavior I am seeing.
When the time comes that tax revenue income fails to pay the demands of the growing “dependent” population, and their checks don’t arrive on time, or they can’t get their “benefits”, and can’t find a doctor who will see them, how do you think you will be received by those good folks in your home district?
You will be in serious trouble, won’t be able to go out to dinner, shop at the local market, or even take a walk in your neighborhood, and your neighbors will shun you, or worse.
There are unpleasant consequences for failing to uphold your oath to the Constitution, and you are failing. It doesn’t matter if you fail as an individual, or if you fail because you “went along to get along”. You will all be tarred and feathered, if not hung, by those you professed to “help”.
I am just a little old widow-lady with only a high school education, but when I watch you all in congress, I am reminded of the Titanic’s band. They played on, but they all went down with the ship, if my memory serves me. You do have a choice, and to fail to choose is also a choice. You are failing to think, to examine, and to choose the harder right.
Please pay attention to your part in the destruction of our nation, and do some serious thinking about the economic failure facing us all. I do hold you accountable, and am not pleased with what I see and hear from your lips.”
Reid said there are 16,000 congressional staff
“punishing 16,000 innocent staff is mean spirited”
SOB SOB
Reid...yuck. Telling Boehner about quagmire, hole they’re digging and what he needs to do. Boy, they REALLY want the House to vote. When has Dingy or Bammy EVER let government of We the People work it’s will?
