This plan was a SOCIALIST COUP ATTEMPT. Thank God for our House Republicans! And Mac!
No wonder Dingy Harry didn't want McCain back in Washington. Nice try, 'rats. These people are a poison in this country that must be eradicated.
These liberal / socialist earmarks are a win-win for the Dems. If the bill passed without scrutiny, they get what they want. If the Republicans spot the Dems' ploy and work against them, the Dems blame the Republicans for obstructing the "urgently needed legislation". The sky is falling, the sky is falling. Classic poison pill strategy.
I say, shove it up Harry Reid's arse, sideways.
