Appropriately, the tax bill passed and the spending bill died on the 237rd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.

I don’t like all of it, either, but that timing is ironic.

Historical fact from the Boston Tea Party:

The destroyed tea was from China, not India.
The destroyed tea was of a so-called “Bohea” type, which was used for the black tea grown in Mountains in Fujian Province, China.

Turn the page to 2010... the destroyed Tea was the "BOHICA" type cultivated in Washington, D.C..

I don’t think so. Most of the Dems in Congress are now from hyper-liberal, gerrymandered districts and it served both them and Obama perfectly for them to appear to put up a fight—but in the end to give Obama his bill.

All the Dems’ political backs got scratched by the last couple of weeks of political theater. Obie again gets to mask himself in the center for an election and those from the liberal-most districts lost nothing by helping to position himself there.

Precisely. A charade pitched for the benefit of the great Democrat unwashed as performed by the Kenyan and the Congressional Democrat loony left

Glad Reid pulled it - ‘had’ to pull it - but wish the Repubs would just give this up and start fresh in Jan. Which of course, they are not going to do; at least not enough of them, to make a difference it appears. (Now, we must suffer the resuscitation's of ‘Don't Ask/Tell’ as it gets oxygen from Scott Brown. . .)

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

When do we re-up??

Leave it to psychotic Democrats to love placing their insane designs into the private parts of other people.

IMHO

Me neither...it is a lose-lose proposition and I can’t see how either side could be happy about it.

AND, it is way porkier than the omnibus bill.

Didn’t somebody else mention 1773 around election time? I guess this item, too, will be lost on the idiot MSM.
