Surrender indeed, what a bunch of chickens**ts, the entire future of the country is at stake and the fold so they can be home for Christmas. Pubbies and Dems, two peas in a pod.

...still making it possible for Senators to return home for the holiday.

Nice to know that they have their priorities in order. "Shall we try everything we can to halt this crapfest bill or should we focus on going on holiday? Screw the citizens, let's cut-out early."

So after McConnell gave that speech about how this crap bill is so terrible, he will go ahead and vote for it..Such a HYPOCRITE..he is throwing away our future right along with the Dems. DISGUSTING doesn’t even begin to say how horrible I feel. When did the GOP lose their ability to FIGHT..I don’t know when it happened but its happened

The Dhimmi bullies expect exactly this kind of caving from the “polite” party.

Until the Republicans find a leader who has a pair they will continued to get rolled every time.
