Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has privately offered Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a deal that would reopen the government until mid-to-late December while extending the U.S. debt ceiling until next year, according to several sources familiar with the talks.

The proposal would set up a framework for larger budget negotiations with the House over the automatic sequestration spending cuts and other major deficit issues, the sources said. Moreover, Senate Democrats are open to delaying Obamacare’s medical device tax and a requirement that those receiving Obamacare subsidies be subject to income verification — but they would have to get something from Republicans in return, sources said.

ALL or ANY spending offers made by Reid, the Senate or Obama are un-Constitutional. .

Obama to Harry Reid....do anything, say anything to get our job done....Mitch to Reid....we’ve given you everything you asked for but we not about to fund Obamacare...it creates an enormous tax and expands government to limits beyond what is sustainable, it even chokes off freedom, i.e. liberty.

WE WILL NOT ALLOW SEQUESTRATION TO BE DONE AWAY WITH. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN JOSEPH MENGELE REID!

The proper response is, “It ain’t gonna happen - DOA, no way Jose, stuff it, we have you in our sights, go to hell, etc...”

[Windflier]

Sounds as if they’re open to delaying the requirement for income verification but not the subsidies (freebies) themselves. And this is billed as a concession?

"Open to" carries absolutely no weight of an actual promise or guarantee. The CommieDems aren't conceding a single inch of ground here.

As soon as they get what they want, they'll shove the Republicans over the cliff and laugh while they're doing it.

What really pushes me over the edge is that sickeningly soft voice.

All I can think of when I hear him is that this is all that’s left.of a man after his soul has been taken. That’s why I think of him as Gollum. He’s a shell of a human being.

The one and only good thing about obamacare is it may suck up so much cash and effort they will be unable to come up with any new spending plans.. The money just ain’t there.

We could modify that quote. Remove the period after “salutary measure”, insert a comma the the word b#$ch.

Harry: Here’s the deal - you all agree to give us all that we want NOW, and we’ll agree to negotiate on what you want later. To show our good faith, we’ll throw in our agreement to delete the medical device tax, which no one, uh, I mean, everyone, wants. You have to admit, that’s more than fair!!!

“One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you’re going to wind up with an ear full of cider. “

*Wait a minute, Sequestration is the LAW OF THE LAND. It was passed by the House, Passed by the Senate.*

That's the same argument the Democrats used in the 1860’s about slavery.

...and then again in the 1960’s about the Jim Crow laws...

*An “offer” from Harry Reid is something like being jumped by a gang of thugs in broad daylight, a black sack thrown over your head, and being bound up in the back of a van which rushes away from the scene, to arrive at some point a short while later, where the captive is frog-marched into a darkened room with one hanging light overhead, and is securely tied to a chair that is screwed down to the floor. The black sack is removed, leaving the captive staring into the bright light at close range, when he realizes there is a 1911 Pistol .45 ACP pressed against his temple. Then Harry Reid comes in the room, and in his best “Commissioner” impression, says, “Now we shall negotiate.”*

I'm voting third party if the Republicans say, “That's a pretty good deal, yuk yuk”

...JUST ONE MORE TIME!

I hope millions will join me.
I have no use for a Democrat Party Mark II

*”I beat Mitch at poker last night. The idiot doesn’t realize I use marked cards.”*

My guess is the cards that Reid dealt him had the exact same thing on the front and the back to make it easier fir Reid to determine what they were.

My guess is that Reid is controlled by at least two of the demons that were in Legion.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Yep that voice and knowing he stole the election in NV with the help of his union thugs. . . .
