No.
Why is this NOT a surprise?
10 years of that and the military will be nothing more than a social program and about as effective as a UN peacekeeping operation.
{this is me shaking my head}
Just think, Brown can be the first pin up boy in barracks around the world.
Hell, Harry Reid might as well put cap and trade back on the table since McConnell and crew aren’t going to do anything to stop him...
The tree of liberty needs watering.
(WP report from the Republican 2006 LAME-duck)
***
Congress will convene on Tuesday for what some fear will be the lamest of lame-duck sessions, and GOP leaders have decided to take a minimalist approach before turning over the reins of power to the Democrats. Rather than a final surge of legislative activity, Congress will probably wrap up things after a single, short week of work. They have even decided to punt decisions on annual government spending measures to the Democrats next year.
“There is a lot of battle fatigue among members, probably on both sides of the aisle,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), usually a reliable conservative firebrand. “Contrary to popular belief, members of Congress are human beings. They have a certain shelf life and a certain amount of energy to be drawn on. We’re tired.”
Anguished over the Democrats’ victory on Nov. 7 and the tumult that has followed, GOP lawmakers want to get out of town. One senior Senate Republican aide called hopes for substantive legislation “delusional.”
Much of the problem is as prosaic as office space, GOP aides said. Lawmakers were forced to vacate their offices on Friday, and few of them want to hang around Washington with no place to sit. Retiring House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) got angry during a meeting of committee chairmen, demanding to know how he was supposed to complete work on the business tax extension bill without an office, according to one GOP aide present in the meeting.
If Brown thinks this will save him from an all-out challenge from the Massachusett’s democrats, he’s delusional.
What a moron.
I am sure the multitude of idiots that voted for this RINO are proud.....no doubt they will be the same one’s backing Romney for POTUS in 2012.....=.=
Obama/Gates legacy.
If Brown thinks this will save his seat in the next election, he is sadly mistaken.
Okay so what R’s voted yes?
Dems and their fag minions don’t care if our troops die as long as they are singing show tunes when they do it.
Might as well be a Rat . . . at least it put an R in the Kennedy seat.
They all take bribes for their votes!
OK, flame away...but...
WHO THE HELL CARES? I really couldn’t care less about someones sexual orientation as long as they don’t flaunt it, and they’re willing to do what the military asks them to do.
We’re facing a trillion dollar deficit and THIS is what people are worried about?
They needed to say that we don't support this refudiated Congress doing anything, that the American people have spoken and sent a new group to Washington, and that we can wait until they get here. Then force your caucus to agree to that proposition. Otherwise, you get a very liberal house and a Senate that has only 41 Republicans passing legislation that we can't filibuster because they can always pick off one or two RINOs on any individual issue. They needed to make it a blanket, principled decision--No Lame Duck Legislation.
But in their hearts, the GOP leaders fear the newcomers as much as the Dems do.
