Senate Republicans have agreed to end their filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids (D-Nev.) health care reform bill a few hours early on Christmas Eve, a move that will allow the GOP to technically stick to its promise to force Dec. 24 vote on the measure while still making it possible for Senators to return home for the holiday.

Surrender indeed, what a bunch of chickens**ts, the entire future of the country is at stake and the fold so they can be home for Christmas. Pubbies and Dems, two peas in a pod.

Nice to know that they have their priorities in order. "Shall we try everything we can to halt this crapfest bill or should we focus on going on holiday? Screw the citizens, let's cut-out early."

Now let’s be nice. We don’t want our dear rulers to ruin their Christmas over this.
To: HerrBlucher
So after McConnell gave that speech about how this crap bill is so terrible, he will go ahead and vote for it..Such a HYPOCRITE..he is throwing away our future right along with the Dems. DISGUSTING doesn’t even begin to say how horrible I feel. When did the GOP lose their ability to FIGHT..I don’t know when it happened but its happened
To: MaestroLC
If it were me, I would be afraid to return home.

It's time to send Mitch a junior Senator from Kentucky who will school him on fighting the Communist Democrats.

The Dhimmi bullies expect exactly this kind of caving from the “polite” party.
Until the Republicans find a leader who has a pair they will continued to get rolled every time.
