The Dem clowns need to fund our troops. Now. And with no strings.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
Good man doing a fine job, got the dRATs squealing, Dingy Harry starting to become unglued.
Will Dingy keep someone around to stop recess appointments again ?
Unless they correct the AMT problem, they’ll be taking more of your tax dollars than you would expect. The AMT is making about a $5,000 difference in my projected tax bill.
Somebody TAKE AWAY THEIR CHECKBOOKS!
Simple solution: Strip out every earmark unrelated to the original bill from all appropriations bills. That will more than pay for the AMT relief.
Glad to see Mitch grow a pair. He was hiding in the cloak room during the amnesty debate.
Hopefully even if Dingy leaves someone around during “recess” there is a procedure, like a quorum call, which would allow for a finding that they are indeed in recess. Then we can hope that Dubya will appoint some people.
He passed up a chance to pardon Scooter and Ramos and Compeon. Maybe he never will. Gotta protect that legacy, ya know
It's a sad state of affairs when you can't plan your household budget without having to account for the whims of politicians.
Does this imply the Bush can make recess appointments during the vacation...or is Dingy Harry going to stay open for business?
Pelosi (D-Calif.) spent a little more than $3 million in the first nine months of 2007, records show, compared to the $1.8 million Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) spent during the same period in 2006.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent $16,000 on flowers since taking office, one reason why she spent 63 percent more in her high-profile inaugural year than her low-key predecessor did last year.
The Democrat majority passed the AMT in the ‘70s as part of their usual class warfare agenda. Now let them live with the consequences of their idiotic failure to index it for inflation.
If the Republicans have any brains and political savvy whatsoever, they will beat the Dems over the head with the results of this Democrat tax on the middle class taxpayer. Twenty-three million taxpayers will be really angry when they have to file their AMT this year because they have a combined household income of $100,000. I truly hope the Republicans don’t bail out Rangel and the rest of the Dems who voted for this confiscatory tax.
The more politics changes, the more it stays the same.
Hay, Dumbs all you have to do is eat the port and cut spending and there you have it as simple as can be. Amen.
I read that Webb - the Allen wannabe - spends a few minutes each day opening an empty Senate and then closing it. I don;t know if he takes out the trash though.
Perhaps the Dumbs would eat the port. I would much prefer to drink it......with a small wheel of stilton.
It sounds like the rats are intent on raising taxes for the purpose of providing more welfare for their constituents (society’s parasites) while the Republicans are resolute on demanding that their constituents (society’s producers) get to keep their own money.
Hmmm. I’ll go with the Republicans.
Gridlock away, Congress. Sounds good to me.
