The Senate Republicans are devoted disciples of Neville Chamberlain.
Too bad they already broke their word on this with the Food bull.
Kyl doesn’t get it AT ALL. This is a GOOD THING. I don’t want them them to come to any “deals” or agree to any compromises. The last thing I want is for START to pass, it sells us out. I want them to be thoroughly gridlocked until the clock runs down so the maniacs can’t do any further damage to the country. The new Congress convenes in January.
No two ways about it.
For any Repub that goes along with the neutering of the US in a new arms treaty during a very dangerous time in American history should be removed from office by a recall vote within their respective state.
It's a raw deal for the US, but a wonderful deal for the Russian Federation.
The Marxist and his Communist brethren.
The food bill worries me. I wouldn’t put to much weight on this. Kyl isn’t saying that he’ll vote for START if the President extends the tax cuts. He’s just pointing out that if Obama wants any chance at all to put it through, he’d better not delay on the tax cuts. Because no other business will be allowed until it’s done.
At least, so I hope.
The Republicans said that they understood the message from the voters on November 2nd. If so, how do they feel that they have the right to MAKE DEALS of ANY KIND on ANY LEGISLATION that the Dems want?!? I am furious!
STOP THE DEALING!!!!! WE VOTED FOR NO DEALING!!
This treaty has been out there how long now? And it suddenly has to be ratified during the lame duck? Why are Republicans so congenitally stupid?
I agree with some other. Any Repub voting for this needs to be recalled. Not ousted at the next election but recalled.
I’m not worried about the stupid “Bush tax cuts” which are really the Obama tax increases. Its a separate issue. Trading START for “not” increasing our taxes is a weasel’s trick. Anyone who goes for it is unworthy of office.
Agreed!
Republicans should do a
back to
With the exception of national security and our military (national security), eliminate every federal department and agency. Fire all these blood sucking a$$holes in Washington, DC.
Kyl caved.
Call his office.
No shocks here. The establishment Republicans are still large and in charge in the Senate. This should serve to remind everyone that the last election was just the start of the work that needs to be done. The establishment is counting on us just going away so that they can get back to business as usual, you know, having no real problem with statism as long as THEY are the state.
Kyl is in a position to play chess with Obama.
Dear Leader said earlier he is willing to spend Christmas/New Year's in Washington instead of Hawaii to get tax cuts done by the end of the year.
In other words, he wants to diddle around for the next few weeks to see how much mileage he can get out of the Repubs and put them under pressure to do some last-minute Dec. 31 tax deals.
Kyl basically said no way. Get tax cuts done now how we want them then MAYBE we'll work on START. Maybe.
It is back to the same old tactics. They need to remember the midterms. If this treaty is so good for America it can wait till January.
You dumb SOB Kyl. Drag the tax debate out so THERE IS NO TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.
I just think it's so funny that Kyl has turned the tables on him, using his own words against him and the dimmocrats!
If you are on FR reading this and live in Arizona, please call your senator, Sen. Jon Kyl, and tell him no deals, no START, no DREAM and the only extension of the Bush tax cuts is for all, as is and no carve out to punish the so-called rich. Give us a two year extension at least and longer if possible.
You gotta call as senators don’t listen to any person not of their state, unless it’s a lobbyist with a bag of cash. We little guys need you to call and save our economy and nation from these weasels.
NO OBAMA VANITY DEALS. NO START TREATY THIS YEAR OR WHILE OBAMA IS PRESIDENT.
