I almost threw up yesterday watching the Mr. President re-define “rules” as “procedures”

Look folks the Republicans and the Democrats are one in the same. Only vote for conservatives. Forget party.

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.

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.

"Republicans, why did you NOT USE the Senate Rules?"

Because they don't want the Rats and the DBM to call them nasty names.

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?
