.... In short .... All this does is pull the Dems’ butts out of the fire with the help of the Republican's until after the mid-term elections.
... The GOP has stepped in it once again. They have been played like a fiddle.
How come we can see this clear as a bell but those idiots in DC continue to play small ball. Bases loaded, nobody out and they bunt. Wimpy politicians are no heroes, PERIOD.
...... Well ..... Unfortunately this is a bad strategic move on behalf of the GOP .... As mentioned in a previous post ..... After the bill is vetoed .... the Senate will NOT blow this thing off. They actually have their own plan for this waiting in the wings which was written by Mary Landrieu. It should be noted that Fred Upton has said he supports Landrieu’s bill. Reid will throw out Upton’s bill and substitute the Senate version with Landrieu’s bill which the House will then be pressured to approve. Using the past performance by the GOP during the course of this administration .... they will end up supporting it after a short fight.

I disagree...the GOP can’t lose either way....if they pass Landrieu’s bill, the cancellations will begin again, right before the 2014 election. Moreover, Obama and Reid are on record against Landrieu’s bill....this will not end well for the democrats...
Any bill dingy Harry brings to the floor can be amended. Amendments could create a cornicopia of difficult votes for red state dems to take.
