Earlier this year they passed a funding resolution that would take them to September, then in September they passed another that would take them to December, now in December they want to pass one that will take them to next September.
So no budget, no department, no agency, can ever be cut or streamlined. Then they play the game all over again.
In other words, AMNESTY.
my mother always warned me about “Counting my Chickens” before they hatch. I cannot help but wonder if, Mr McConnell’s mother did the same for him.
As long as the GOP wins the Senate, I do not care if Mitch McConnell loses his race.
I suspect the Rino’s have a huge debt to pay, with a due date before January, they got their money and must deliver (clean slate) or be exposed.
Just speculation based on nothing other than observation of their previous and current performance.
The main goal of the Republican Establishment is to maneuver events so they won’t be held accountable.
That’s been their default position since they ousted Newt.
Another preemptive surrender from the Surrender Party? Shocking. Just more proof that GOP “leadership” has no intention of ever being an engaged opposition party to the Obama agenda.
Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.
You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:
The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.
John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”
And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me
Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate
Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.
The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.
Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.
It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.
This is exactly why I was OK with it when it looked like McCockle might lose.
He has the same agenda as Obola, it's just that he wants some of the spoils to go into his pocket instead of Democrat pockets once in awhile.
Jeez, one of the first articles I read at the beginning of a new week MAKES ME WANT TO BARF. I guess McConnell must be satisfied where he stands in the polls since he feels safe enough to say he wants to enable Reid and the progressive ‘RATS to get what they want i the lame duck session.
McConnell is clearly ALMOST as slimy a creature as Reid is.
Don't they need an agenda to derail in the first place?
All I’d be hopeful with him is growing a pair of cojones and doing everything he can do to UNDO whatever Obama has done.
>>If you do call a lame-duck session, we the undersigned will object to any unanimous consent request<<
There should be NO unanimous consent for anything. If Mike Castle had taken my idea of withholding unanimous consent from the DeathCare bill, they’d STILL be reading it. They’d have to read it real slow for the criminals, perverts and sleeping members. Oh, forgot the crying member.
1. Get rid of McConnell.
2. Reinstate filibusters of Obama appointments so that any 40 Senators can block them.
3. Eliminate filibusters of legislation or require Democrats to use Mr. Smith Goes to Washington style talk till you drop filibusters. Playback is a bitch.
4. Immediately start passing conservative legislation through the House and Senate and make Obama spend the last two years of his term vetoing everything.
This would start earning the Republicans some respect back.
“Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), two Tea-Party favorites, say they will object to moving quickly on any legislation they deem ‘non-emergency.’”
BTTT
I’m shocked that none of the GOPe cheerleaders are here in this thread to tell us how vital it is to get Harry.
Reid has set an ambitious agenda for the post-election session
= = = = = = = = = = = =
It is time to stop this foolishness of 3 months between election and seating.
Another ‘old’ custom whose time and shelf date has expired - Much like term limits... Maybe that is why the ‘old days’ were actually more productive.
The ‘Reps’ spent more time traveling to and fro by not having the luxury of hopping a Jet and visiting 4 parts of the country in the same day for either golfing or fund raising (Better not give them any ideas....Oh wait..forget it).
In today’s world one can have a T Shirt or such made up and ready for world wide distribution within hours of an event that one may want to cash in on.
Dissidents will say rehearsal etc BUT I wonder how much time was ‘wasted’ rehearsing how BO would get out of taking his ‘oath’ (not a good word to use in same sentence as BO) the ‘traditional’, since there was NO complaint over that, other screw tightening methods should be welcomed in place.
2) And lets not kid ourselves, Harry Reid will only be trying to pass Shamnesty.
