♫Who do...Who do you think you're fooling?♫
Amen to that.
McConnell’s Compromise boils down to one thing — the Republicans who support it want big government every bit as much as the Democrats do. Unfortunately, they realize that they depend on us conservatives to put them in office. At the end of the day, they want to be able to raise the debt ceiling AND convince us that they haven’t betrayed our core values.
It’s called having your cake and eating it too. That’s what McConnell is trying to do and it’s just plain insulting. I personally will consider any Republican who votes to give Obama this authority as having voted directly to raise the debt ceiling.
WE, meaning Republicans, WENT THERE and the Democrats fought us tooth and nail to have ALL OF IT declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
They won.
This morning, as expected, McConnell had successfully baited the Democrats and you had Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi saying it all sounded good ~ apparently their staff people had not yet notified them that the McConnell "back up plan" was Richard Nixons' PLAN A FROM OUTER SPACE.
We are all ROTFLOAOFATM!!!
Obviously McConnell was right on top of this. He knew. He lived those days.
