DeMint had an article earlier.
This would be total capitulation by the GOP if they pass it.
Hmmm, by the RATs own logic, isn’t this A SPENDING BILL??? One that must ORIGINATE in the House?
Truth is, Politico has it backward: Republican leadership is in rebellion . . . against the majority of the American people.
McConnell and Boehner are the Democrats whipping boys. They are complicit in Obama’s plans.
I bet you dollars to doughnuts, they are supporters of Romney.
First of all, the GOP would never inconvenience any members by having them come back into DC over Christmas holidays.
If bonehead passes this his time is up. And along with ever Republican in the House. The ride is over. Time for total rebellion.
What's the main gripe?
Should I be heading to Lowes tomorrow?
send it back! the senate bill was designed for Dems and Obama to beat on Republicans for the next 2 months.
DeMint is the only one I trust to get anything right.
The 1200+ page porkulus the House passed is an outrage.
~ Larry Elder, "The Ten Things You Can't Say In America"
This post is part of a Rudyard Kipling poem “The Old Issue” about freedom and how it is obtained.
All we have of freedom, all we use or know—
This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.
Ancient Right unnoticed as the breath we draw—
Leave to live by no man’s leave, underneath the Law—
Lance and torch and tumult, steel and grey-goose wing,
Wrenched it, inch and ell and all, slowly from the King.
Till our fathers ‘stablished, after bloody years,
How our King is one with us, first among his peers.
So they bought us freedom—not at little cost—
Wherefore must we watch the King, lest our gain be lost.
Over all things certain, this is sure indeed,
Suffer not the old King: for we know the breed.
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Like I said last night. Boehner will twist a few arms and go to Pelosi for some Dem votes to get this passed and put off for two months, just like the debt limit.
Just nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
I dunno. I think Free Republic has lately turned into a perpetual “Damn it, this isn’t a perfect effing deal!” screamfest. No Republican and/or no one to the RIGHT of Hussein (and EVERY REPUBLICAN IN THE RACE is to the RIGHT of Hussein) is good enough to be President.
Hussein has apparently backed down from the millionaires tax. Hussein has apparently backed down from the Keystone pipeline being IN the bill, and while it ain’t perfect, some folks still ARE SO ANXIOUS to see “disaster” in every movement of the body politic.
Damn, folks, we won big last year—but we only seized control of one house of one branch of government. We still have to get more Senators and the White House if we even have a CHANCE of getting something reasonable done. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush all warned us about the war on terror, and I think it applies to the war on liberalism: it’ll be a long, hard, slog.
Sometimes in a war, we find ourselves making alliances with people who aren’t as pure as we would like. But they are useful in defeating the common enemy. Hell, folks, the FRENCH helped us in the 18th century.
Speaking of that, I think sometimes people forget the Revolution wasn’t over in a year. If our forefathers gave up 13 months after declaring Independence from King George, we would still be subject to the monarchy.
Well, I’m glad Schumer is giving Boehner a dig, even if it’s from the left. Boehner ain’t got no respect - that’s what happens to appeasers.
” - - - The Senate passed the bill, 89-10, on Saturday morning.”
Let us praise the brave 10 who voted as “The American People” wanted them to vote.
Does anyone know who they are?
BTW, the fourth option is the one that was not stated in the article: Keep the US Federal Government from writing hot checks by shutting down all entitlement payments, laying off all non-essential Federal workers (without pay), and stopping all salaries to Federally elected officials, and their staffs.
You know, the same way other big companies do when they run out of other peoples money.
