THE DEMOCRAT SENATE HAS NO BUDGET FOR FIRST TIME IN OVER 25 YEARS
No Spending Budget Means No Spending Restraint Which Stifles Economic Growth And Job Creation
________________________________________________________
Democrats Can't Get It Done, But In 2001 Republicans Passed A Bipartisan Budget With The Same Senate!

The New York Times On Daschle's Budget Performance:
"Mr. Daschle's performance in the spotlight has been shaky. He failed to round up the votes to pass a bill providing prescription drugs for the elderly. He could not win passage of an overall budget resolution to set spending levels for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. The worst part, for him, was that these defeats came as much at the hands of Democrats as Republicans."
(Editorial, "Congress's Mixed Handiwork," The New York Times, August 3, 2002)
Chairman Greenspan On The Importance Of Budget Discipline:
"The Administration and the Congress can make a valuable contribution to the prospects for the growth of the economy by taking measures to restore this discipline and return the federal budget over time to a posture that is supportive of long-term economic growth."
(Alan Greenspan, Senate Banking, Housing And Urban Affairs Committee, July 16, 2002)
DASCHLE AND HIS DEMOCRATS TALK A GOOD BUDGET GAME
Senator Daschle Promised A Budget Earlier This Year. "Well, we're going to have a budget plan that constrains spending. That will happen . . . . We've also had a lot of other work we've had to do. But we are going to get to it. That is going to be something that will happen."
(NBC's "Meet The Press," May 26, 2002)
In 2002, Senator Edwards Preaches Fiscal Responsibility.
'"Washington can't ask businesses to do more unless we live up to our responsibilities as well,' the North Carolina senator said. 'We can't just complain about Enron's books. We have a duty to put our own books in order.'"
(Will Lester, "Sen. Edwards: GOP Irresponsible," The Washington Post, July 30, 2002)
In 1998, Current Majority Leader Daschle Called Upon The Senate To Follow The Law And Pass A Budget.
"I call upon the Republican leadership in the House and in the Senate to do what the law requires, to do what is so essential to restore confidence, to do what really is required to set the framework for the priorities and the commitments that we must make in these next six weeks."
(Senator Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, August 31, 1998)
In 1998, Current Senate Budget Chairman Conrad Said Passing A Budget Was A Congressional "Responsibility."
"We have no budget resolution passed by this Congress. For the first time in 24 years, there has been a failure to pass a budget resolution. That budget resolution was due by April 15. The President plays no role in a budget resolution; that is the responsibility of this Congress. . . . It is purely the responsibility of this Senate and the House of Representatives, and these bodies have failed in their responsibility, and they have failed for the first time in 24 years."
(Senator Kent Conrad, Congressional Record, October 12, 1998)
BUT DASCHLE AND HIS DEMOCRATS JUST CAN'T GET A BUDGET PASSED
As Of August 26th, The Democrat Senate Still Had Not Approved A Budget, In Violation of The Budget Enforcement Act Of 1974.
(S. Res. 100, Approved By Budget Committee, April 11, 2002)
Daschle Blames Lack Of Budget On A Razor-Thin Majority. "[O]bviously we're in a divided Senate and a very, very close membership count. And this has not been easy."
(NBC's "Meet The Press," May 26, 2002)
Republicans Passed A Bipartisan Budget When The Senate Was 50-50. The budget resolution established congressional spending for fiscal year 2002, revised the FY2001 budget, and set spending levels for fiscal years 2003 through 2011. Fifteen Democrats joined with Republicans to pass the resolution by a vote of 65-35. At the time, the Senate was divided 50-50 (with Vice President Cheney giving the Republicans a majority).
(H.Con.Res. 83, Roll Call #86: Passed 65-35: R 50-0; D 15-35, April 6, 2001)
SENATE DEMOCRATS ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ROUTINELY BUDGET THEIR FINANCES
Senate Democrats Fail To Understand What The Rest Of America Already Knows About Basic Money Management . . . The Most Important Step Toward Fiscal Responsibility Is Preparing A Budget.
Small Businesses Develop Budgets So They Can Meet A Payroll
Families Set Monthly Budgets For Living Expenses
Senior Citizens Establish Retirement Budgets To Preserve Their Savings
Even Children Create Budgets For Managing Their Allowance
Democrats In The Senate Refuse To Follow The Lead Of The American People And Their Own Advice In 1998. Instead, They Choose To Practice The Politics Of Economic Destruction Over Fundamental Fiscal Responsibility.
HEY DEMOCRATS. PASS A BUDGET AND PASS IT NOW!
Contact information for all Senators is at
The United States DemocRAT led Senate Senate is currently putting party over the United States, its military, and all of us citizens. Don't let daschle/clinton/edwards get by with this! Let your Senators know that you will not tolerate this inaction on the budget by the DemocRATS! One way you can do that is at the ballot box in November -- vote out the RATS!
Please volunteer in your local communities for Senator and House Republican candidates -- we need all your help and your votes in November!!!!!!! Don't let the daschle/clinton/edwards trio run the Senate again in 2003!
While you are at it, remind your Senators to vote for Sen Don Nickles (Conservative Republican from OK) for Majority Leader -- we need a leader who will stand up to the likes of daschle/clinton/edwards and Senator Nickles is that man!
Does that mean tax cuts are imminent?
We are talking about democRATs. Is anyone here surprised by this?...
anyone?...
anyone?...
...
Sad but so TRUE!!!!!!
Oh this is so rich...
Wasn't this CREEP from SD around when Clintigula refused to sign the budget back in '95??
Didn't *that* Liberal-Socialist conspiracy produce buckets of propagandistic fodder for the Liberal-Socialist Lamestream quislings to use to pummel the right into utter submission???
~ala, Poor, simpering, whining layed-off Yellow Stone Park vendors & Fed Employess marched before us ad nauseum all claiming they couldn't afford Thanksgiving Day TURKEYS for their families; solely, because of REPUBLICANS!??!
Senator Da-hole?
If it were up to me?
I'd tell ya to "eat cake!", buster; make no mistake about that.
Consider it then as lucky as you're gonna get that I'm not in such a position of authority.
"'I call upon the Republican leadership in the House and in the Senate to do what the law requires, to do what is so essential to restore confidence, to do what really is required to set the framework for the priorities and the commitments that we must make in these next six weeks.' (Senator Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, August 31, 1998)"
Da-Hole's words; NOT our's.

Their (Liberal-Socialist's) A#1 *mouthpiece* speaking, NOT our's.
So what's all that bilge you're bleating about now, Bozo Da-Hole?
What you really mean to say, is that the Right should -- at YOUR beckon call, of course -- cross-over & GIVE YOU LIBERAL-SOCIALISTS WHAT YOU WANT, eh?
This is simply too rich to pass-up, folks.
Remember; the Liberal-Socialist Lamestream sycophant-quisling media ghouls will *now* turn right around & simply report NOTHING -- that's nada, nyet -- of Da-Hole's blunders.
~Just watch-'n-see.
...so *stock-up* now on your "Fightin' Points" as ya see 'em right here.
