Guns blazing, on their way out, Senate Liberals and Progressives, apparently bent on just destroying our national economy, have foisted a nearly 2000 page, $1.1T omnibus bill; according to the Washington Times, that’s over $575 million…per page, and it contains 6,488 earmarks.
What is going on here? Either the Progressives are "idiots, or they are evil". Take a guess.
Republicans MUST stop this, and fight the Democrats with furor. Forget about being polite, or worrying about the backlash that will surely come from the complicit mainstream media – this is our country and our livelihoods we are talking about – we need leadership here. They continue to push this destructive junk, expecting Republicans to meekly complain, and eventually give in.
John McCain has is right this time: "Absolutely disgraceful". I call it an act of war, against the people of the United States.
I sincerely hope and pray that Congressional Republicans, using November as a cue, take this to the mat and to the American people – explaining how dangerous and destructive this behavior is, and why they are rejecting it. They MUST make an effort to clearly communicate the evil of their ways. Harry Reid says he will stay in session "as long as it takes".
Fine, take one for the team, call their bluff and make them miss their Christmas too, and see how they like it. Democrats need this pushed back in their faces, as violently as they pushed this insulting bill to the American people.
