I almost threw up yesterday watching the Mr. President re-define “rules” as “procedures”
BTW, I hear Obama wants to legalize the illegals next year in order to neutralize our vote of throwing them out. Expect that to happen.
I don’t think the GOP is serious about stopping Obama. Some individuals certainly are — but many are not. All professional politicians benefit from bigger government. More power, more control, more money to play with. They all get quite a kick out of it.
The Republican party is shot. They want this Communist bill as much as any Democrat. They just want you to beleive they don’t.
The GOP is not conservative.
They really only care about getting along.
The lobbyists run the country with huge hand outs, no one works for us anymore. The founding fathers are turning over in their graves...
What they really want is to be included in all the Washington cocktail parties.
"You go to bed one night. You wake up in the morning. And you find the great political leaders with their arms around each others' necks: dear old pals. That's the honest truth of government -- They've ALWAYS been ALL THE SAME!"
Note: I don't like fascists one little bit -- but that doesn't mean Mosley was wrong about everything.
Government should be small and weak -- that way they can't do too much damage.
It is obviously the price of keeping Snowe and Collins from giving cover for two Dems.
Worth it.
You can’t have everything.
Actuially it just might be worth it to put up with Obama care for a few years just to see them competely disgraced. Then we can end it. Granted the history of ending lib BS isn’t good but I think that just might change. Maybe the GOP leadership understood that.
Because they don't want the Rats and the DBM to call them nasty names.
They're joyful about how it will help their appeals for campaign contributions.
Rules? The only rules are the Democrats making on the fly and Republicans can do nothing. The Democrat party is now the Communists Party.
The battle continues between Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison over the significance of Hutchison’s vote early this morning (December 18th) to end a Republican filibuster on a defense spending bill.
Perry’s campaign, which earlier called the vote a failure to fight Democratic health care plans, blasted Hutchison’s explanation that her vote was a show of support for the troops.
“For Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison to defend her vote to accelerate the health care debate by invoking our troops is dishonest and an insult to the 33 Republican senators who voted against limiting debate on the defense spending bill,” said Perry spokesman Mark Miner.
Remember how the Democrats kept the Senate in session, in theory more than practice, to keep President Bush from making recess appointments. They have no qualms about using any rule or procedure, regardless of how old or quaint or unfair, to thwart the passage of legislation they don’t like. Why should treat them any differently than the way they treat us?
The RINOS feel, in their heart of country-club-bar hearts, that to oppose The Anointed of Allah would mark them as racists!
O NO! They might even lose the Latino Vote (aka the Republicans of the Future, according to Karl Rove, never mind that they never get more than 30% of it anyway)Instead, they'll take whatever safely gerrymandered seats they can get from the Democrats, and hope to get back to business as usual with those friendly characters across the aisle in 2010. Just need a few more seats to even things up.
The RINOGOP has no idea what to do with a majority ... or a victory. In fact, they really want neither, nor do they think they need them. When they had responsibility, they blew it. Responsibility is actually bad for Republican business, which is the lobby-money-powered, deal-making juice needed to protect the big payers.
There is a provision in the bill stating that no bill seeking to undo this bill will be considered by the Senate at any time in the future. Rush talking about it now.
