Quite an ingenious and hypocritical scheme that Democrats are using against Sen. Bunning.
A.) First the Democrat-controlled Congress urges that we must have Paygo. Obama even chimes in that Paygo is necessary because Congress and the federal government must live by the same rules that Americans have to live by: pay-as-you-go.
B.) Pass Paygo and then sign it into law.
C.) Then the Democrats can urge that a bill (like in this case) must be passed and say that it is absolutely necessary to pass this bill - while they don't placing any funding within the bill to actually fund the bill.
C.) When someone - like Sen. Bunning - objects that there isn't any funding for this bill and that the Paygo rules that must be adhered to, attack said opponent for stalling passage of the bill through various emotional appeals (children will starve, people will end up living in card-board boxes and so on).
D.) Use the tactic found in C.) whenever necessary for political advantage against Republicans.
I’m getting queasy about this. Bunning may be resoundingly right, but he’s also handing a gift-wrapped propaganda victory to the Rats.
The timing is even worse. The GOP leadership beat the pants off Obozo less than a week ago at the health care summit. Even the sycophantic MSM had to admit it.
You think by now the entire GOP would be wise to the fact that the presstitutes will paint their every action in the worst possible light.
Unfair? Of course. But that’s the war we’re fighting. The good news — such as it is — is that the Rat-MSM playbook doesn’t change much. So there’s room to maneuver around their ambushes. Bunning should have learned this years ago.
The morals of this country are in the toilet and the handle is being pushed.
God Bless Bunning! The criminals MUST GO!
