The House may have done its job putting something forth, but I think you are naive to think it will end up looking bad on the Democrats. The very liberal media you accuse is feeding me (which I am not fed by, by the way) is the same liberal media that is standing by watching and waiting to seize the moment they want, the moment when nothing even was CONSIDERED, and they will seize upon the moment saying the Tea Party or the Republicans (or someone specific in Republican leadership) just couldn’t do a THING. Oh no, it won’t be that the Democrats didn’t “offer” anything. It won’t play out that way.
Where I think the House did NOT do its job is that they just presented something that is going straight into the Senate’s trash can. And what it looks like the Democratic Senate is going to push through will probably end up on the same place. Now doesn’t that concern you just a little?
And at this point, I can’t even keep up with all the different options being thrown out there, all by the same SIDE! It’s confusing, and it’s frustrating.
The Democrat Senate and President have put nothing concrete on the table. All they have done is made a bunch of speeches and postured, they have offered nothing specific.
That is what is know in politics as grandstanding.
GOP-real plan, has passed the House. Democrats have done what? Made speeches and postured but done nothing real.
It is not the US House's job to worry what the Senate or the President want them to do. It is the US House's job to create appropriation bills. They have done that. NOW it is the job of the Senate and the President to take action on those bills. Elections matter. The US House is not the rubber stamp of the President and the Senate. If this bill fails now, it is on the heads of the Democrat Senate and the President. They are the one who would rather play politics here instead of putting a plan on the table.
Try reading the US Constitution. Your understanding of how the process works here is woefully inadequate. You seem to believe that the US House is suppose to rubber stamp what ever the Senate and President want. That is NOT their function in the least.
So instead of mindlessly repeating the Democrat media's talking points, try THINKING for yourself for a change.
