unanimous consent

Anybody know ONE patriotic person in the House or Senate?

Here is Boehner’s statement:

“Senator Reid and I have reached an agreement that will ensure taxes do not increase for working families on January 1 while ensuring that a complex new reporting burden is not unintentionally imposed on small business job creators. Under the terms of our agreement, a new bill will be approved by the House that reflects the bipartisan agreement in the Senate along with new language that allows job creators to process and withhold payroll taxation under the same accounting structure that is currently in place. The Senate will join the House in immediately appointing conferees, with instructions to reach agreement in the weeks ahead on a full-year payroll tax extension. We will ask the House and Senate to approve this agreement by unanimous consent before Christmas. I thank our Members – particularly those who have remained here in the Capitol with the holidays approaching – for their efforts to enact a full-year extension of the payroll tax cut for working families.”

Heck, I’m going to email my Rep and ask him to object to the “unanimous consent”!
I don’t expect he will but just voting against this won’t work and I’m letting him know it’s a mark against him.

WHen you hear “unanimous consent” you know American has been reamed again.

Boehner statement: "We will ask the House and Senate to approve this agreement by unanimous consent before Christmas."

Methinks, at minimum, Sen. Jim Demint (R-SC) will prevent the approval from being unanimous.

I hope Santa visits Boehner this weekend...and burns down his house.

John is morphing into Trent Lott as we speak.

Forget the GOP. I’m done with them. The party cannot be saved.

Well, in South Carolina we have congressman Joe Wilson who yelled out, “You lie” during an Obama speech, we also have Senator Jim Demint. Would you consider either of those to qualify? Just askin’.

I see no one with the best interests of the United States at heart.

We’re moving into a Marxist dominated Oligarchy.
