Oh goodie, now they can all go home early for the "holiday". Isn't that special. Gad zooks I hate those people.

So, I suppose that means they are going to bring all the troops home too, for the "holiday". What scum.

You know I wonder if these idiots know that the word holiday stems from the words "holy day". I don't think so.

Anytime the OP(formerly the GOP) wing of the socialist Republicrat party reaches a deal with the RAT wing, the country is taken further down the path to socialism.

If it were me, I would be afraid to return home.

If you're Senator Tom Harkin (Fascist-IA), you have nothing to fear when you return to your non-election-year home in the Bahamas.

No, not all!

We keep DeMint and make him the Leader.

Coburn is definitely a keeper too.

Toss the fossil incumbents!

I’ll bet you the White House complained and McConnell caved. Obama desperately wants to get to Hawaii, yet the Dear Leader had to stick around for the vote. His own people would kill him if he left while they were still sitting here. However, Christmas Eve night could be kinda nasty weather-wise and that could have grounded the traveler in chief. McConnell probably justifies caving by thinking the President now owes him. That’s how some of these guys think. That’s why they lose.

A personal note to the Catholics that voted and will continue to vote for this, prepare:

You have chosen death.

>> Vote them ALL out!! Anyone have a better plan?

Yeah, I have a better plan for dealing with the vermin (hint: how do you deal with vermin?)

But you’d ban me for life if I spelled it out the way I’m thinking of it.

Sorry professional politician scum.

They need to be home for the Holidays but that didn't get them to slow down the troops buildup and Ship out to Afghanistan.

Nice to have commanders looking out more for the troops than themselves.

VOTE THE RASCALS OUT!

Everbody get to your local airports and give them a nice ‘welcome home’ with appropriate signs. Tell them all how you really feel. Make it visible. Also street signs on bridges, etc.
Through them ALL OUT!

How cowardly and base! In 1776 Washington crossed the Delaware against all odds, but today the GOP Senate leadership act like craven sissies.

Return to enjoy the holiday re: Christ’s birth; Meanwhile, every citizen will have to pay monthly to kill babies for their ‘private’ choices (that’s called ‘healthcare’ and cutting costs per Pelosi).

I especially liked the 12:01 winter solstice vote to start it off.

Since they want to be anti-christs, work Christmas, Sundays and all other holidays.

Necrocrats.

“Replace McConnell with Inhofe....ASAP.”

Now you’re talking!

Just called mcConnell’s office and let them know just what I think about their weasily actions. What a total, complete selfish jerk.

Smart-ass little girl on the phone, too.

Walking out in unison before the first vote would have sent a stronger message than making filibuster threats and then skipping out early for a holiday break...
+++++++++++++++++

Good point.

We are keeping 3 of our Conservative Republican Congressmen here in San Diego, Marine Col Hunter, Bilbray and Issa.

We can thank the fools who voted Third Party or sat at home last election for this crap.
