The clowns are really in charge of the circus now.
Another slap in the face of real, hardworking Americans who have worked holidays all their lives.
Another example of how it's all about them. But they'll hide behind the excuse that their staffers are the real reason they're doing it.
Thanks GOP pigs. I suppose their personal interests are more important than the peoples.
Not only do the Democrats need to be purged but all these spineless Republicans do as well.
Where are all the “men”?
Dirtbag commies don’t deserve a Merry Christmas. They hate Christianity anyway.
As much as I hate saying this, this is a sensible change and one that probably avoids the type of claim that the GOP is worse than Scrooge.
Go home right now. No need to be there.
Wrecking Christmas for themselves, eh?
Washington had more fortitude than about 90 percent of the RINO Party, crossing the Delaware on Christmas Day, 1776 to attack the Hessian mercenaries at Trenton the next morning!
Well the constituents of these Republican and democrat elected can take a flying leap into hades while the Repulicans cave so their Christmas won’t be ruined by working on that day. We have a few million Americans out of work, who would have probably enjoyed working on Christmas. But the elected royals must not have THEIR Christmas ruined by fleshing out an unhealthy bill that 69% of Americans are against and do NOT want.
I’m fed up with all of these people.
“McConnell also said, “The final vote in the Senate is not the final vote. There are substantial differences between the House and Senate bills. This debate is not over.”
No, but it is all over for YOU, you f’ing COWARD!!!!
I can see both points...it’s is inevitable, and it’s not all that fair to those Congressional staffers who don’t have a say. Personally, I think I would have sent my staff home, told my family we’re having a white Christmas in the nation’s capitol, and made myself comfortable in the Senate chamber with some egg nog.
Pet poodles. Anyone harboring confidence that putting a dozen or so new Republicans in Congress is going to reverse the growth in government is delusional.
Turn on c-span.
They haven’t given up at all.
Senator Ensign has the floor and he’s just called the entire bill UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND NOW HE’S ARTICULATING THE REASONS.
I hate being preached to by Rush, Levin, Hannity and the like about how there IS a significant difference between Democrats and Republicans, when they do stuff like this they prove there is NOT.
Most major talk radio host are gone tomorrow, and the GOP is just caving in. Its all sickening.
I understand they think a 3rd party run would be a Dem victory, but COME ON! We are tired of getting raped by both sides! Vote the BUMS out! primary primary primary!
True political conviction there. /s
Tagged for reference because I want to be able to verify that rePugnants and demonRATs are all cut from the same degenerate cloth.
Well.
Since the Staff makes 30% more than an individual working in the private sector I say they should stay through Christmas.
How about if WE THE PEOPLE...occupy your vacant space till you get back? /we can pass some legislation too like...YOU ARE FIRED! Everylast one of you!
They gave away the only decent hand they had to play.
