I am simply pointing out that, once again, the GOP continues to Epic Fail on message coordination.

Conservatives deserve better. A LOT better. I don’t make phone calls and go door to door at election time for this type of Marx Brothers routine from our own leaders.

No, you need to review history and see if Republicans have ever involved the Executive in the structuring of appropriations bills.

It's common in State Constitutions ~ the governors go through and do line item vetos.

We don't have it in the federal constitution.

That makes it unconstitutional. People who keep on top of how legislation, or sausage, is made KNOW THESE THINGS.

McConnell didn't propose something new ~ rather he crafted the same old ideas we had since Nixon, and probably Adams, about Executive involvement in appropriations bills, and he adapted the words to the current situation.

It ain't gonna' happen no how no way ~ and that's true whether it's a good idea or a bad idea.

Used to be a Republican idea. Now it's seen as selling out to the Great Shatan Hissef'.
