Maybe somebody can elucidate and clarify for me.
If the Senate is going to gut whatever the House passes and turn it into a Reid/McConnell bill, why was there a need to pass the latest Boehner bill which passed today?
Why couldn’t Reid use the Cut Cap and Balance Plan (which he tabled) , gut it for their purposes and send that back to the House?
Why did we go through all the agony of passing another bill knowing it was going to be tabled as well?
It’s all Kabuki. This latest bill will be totally liberaled up so that Pelosi’s party could even vote for it when it comes back to the House, and our guys will be left looking like saps because their vote won’t even be needed to pass it. The rinos will help Pelosi push it across.
The only thing accomplished by this charade is that the media and dems got another chance to trash and divide the Tea Party guys in Congress.
I would have just told Harry that we sent them the CCB legislation and let him deal with it. Don’t know why we had to do a re-do.
American Thinker thinks it is possible that Reid was afraid that Demint had or was about to get the votes...and so he tabled it.
“I would have just told Harry that we sent them the CCB legislation and let him deal with it. Don’t know why we had to do a re-do.”
Strongly agree!
