and Reid will assert that the fault is all on the Republicans
When are the Republicans going to learn that the Democrats are not to be compromised with
How many times must these guys play Charlie Brown to Reid’s Lucy?
Heartless Republicans don’t care that unemployed Americans are on the brink of starvation and homelessness under Obama’s failed economic policies.
The only moral thing to do is to fall in line and give Obama the bill he demands on this, obviously.
Name 'em.
This is one of those cases where the dems don’t want to pass anything, because they’d rather have the issue to attack the republicans with. They’ll do it to good effect too, while the republicans do as they always do.... Bend over and take it.
This will be reported as another unwillingness by the GOP to do what is right for the average working person. If we had a true independent press the Dems would be excoriated over this type of stuff. But when the press is the house organ for one party that party can do or say anything and it will be reported in that party’s most favorable light.
This is all about a talking point for the Sunday talk shows. Be prepared for every single Dem to be on point that the Senate Republicans balked at passing the extension to the detriment of millions, and that the GOP House leadership won’t even bring it up for a vote.
Let’s see, “Even with unemployment dropping to a new low of 6.7%, there are still millions who need their unemployment check to get themselves through their own personal time of crisis. Just as the GOP has done nothing to help the president get a handle on the worst economic crisis in history, now they are unwilling to lift a finger to help millions of American families suffering due to their obstinate stand on working with the president to pass bills to get the economy going again.” Did I miss anything?
Before voting for cloture they could have insisted they be allowed to offer amendments.
But they didn’t.
They knew this would happen, so they got what they wanted.
Here’s an idea. The Republicans pick a date a few months down the road. It’s a day when welfare benefits are paid. The Republicans buy up every second of advertising on the radio and tv and every inch of advertising in the newspapers for a week after that day. They are buying bulk and in advance, so they should get good rates. Then, they shut welfare down completely. The welfare voters finally notice that something is wrong. They turn on their TVs and radios to find out what happened to their money. For a solid week, all they hear is how it’s the Democrat’s fault. Hey, it’s an idea to get to them.
I can’t say what I think
Maybe our RINO Senator, Murky Murkowski has learned her lesson? Nah! Just kidding, she’s a stupid “centrist”. She won’t learn, ever.
facinating tidbit:
There was a vote today to “unfill” Harry’s amendment tree and Manchin voted for it- which would make it a ‘bipartisan vote’ if the media reported it (which they won’t).
Don’t know what to think of Manchin’s vote, he’s a very faithful Reid minion whenever he can be.
Is there anyone who can replace Reid as Senate majority leader???
I’m finding it interesting that the dems are really not having success ANYWHERE lately.
The GOP is doing a pretty good job of blocking everything.
