You can always very plainly see how deeply it is that our dear "old" friend, "Dingy" Harry Reid, truly cares about the American people. He feels our pain as we fill up our gas tanks, buy food for our table, about not being able to find a job to support our families, or when the bank takes our home. So it was then after taking all of that into consideration and without even a hint of bipartisanship, that Senate Majority Leader "Dingy" Harry Reid on Thursday proclaimed the Republican deficit-reduction plan – the “Cut, Cap, and Balance Act” – as a waste of the Senate’s time. “I think this piece of legislation is about as weak and senseless as anything that has ever come on this Senate floor. And I’m not going to waste the Senate’s time day after day on this piece of legislation, which I think is an anathema to what our country is all about,” "Dingy" said on the Senate floor.
Stating as only a true statist dunderhead like Reid could, he described things with his typical arrogant fashion by saying, “So everyone, understands. We’re going to have a vote tomorrow (Friday)…I’m not going to wait until Saturday. We’re going to have a vote tomorrow, and I feel confident this legislation will be disposed of one way or the other. The American people should understand that this is a bad piece of legislation – perhaps, some of the worst legislation in the history of this country.” Bad for who exactly, "Dingy?" Bad for you and Barry who want to spend this country into oblivion? What the Democrats are doing is nothing short of unconscionable. And really, the Republicans in the Senate, at least those in leadership positions, are no better. So, the vote will be today. And we need to be watching very closely to see how those who are supposed to be on our side vote.
The Republican proposal would cut government spending, cap the growth of future spending, and allow a vote on a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. "Dingy" invited Republicans to go ahead and debate the bill “to their heart’s content.” He also complained that “the loudest voices from the Republican Party are not reasonable leaders, but Tea Party extremists.” Again with the accusations of being extreme. If it is anyone who is operating from the extreme, it's "Dingy" and his fellow Democrats. In his comments on the Senate floor, "Dingy" urged “reasonable Republicans” to join Democrats in reaching a compromise “that is good for the country.” Such a compromise, he said, must avert default and cut the deficit “in a balanced way” – balance in this case meaning tax increases.
The House of Representatives passed the Cut, Cap and Balance bill on Tuesday. As House Speaker John Boehner noted, Senate Democrats still haven't passed legislation of their own to prevent a government default. "It's time for the Senate to act," he said. So far, all legislation attempting to put the country back on a sound fiscal footing has come from House Republicans. But the weak-kneed Republicans and in particular those involved in that idiotic "Gang of Six" have not help matter much as far as in getting this plan brought to the forefront. And I think it safe to say that they have been somewhat deliberate in their efforts to sabotage to entire plan by bringing out their ridiculous plan on the same day of the vote in House "Cut, Cap and Balance."
I heard Sen. Saxby Chambliss on Hannity's radio show yesterday, and talk about a clueless individual. This moron just doesn't get it! The three Republican stooges who took part in the "Gang of Six," served no other purpose than as willing accomplices to Barry "Almighty." This level of irresponsibility is not acceptable and cannot be permitted to continue. If guys like Chambliss insist upon being what are essentially unindicted co-conspirators here, then they need to go, and at the earliest possible opportunity. The stakes are too high for these buffoons in the Senate to do nothing more than to simply play politics. Action needs to be taken, and any Republican who chooses to vote against "Cut, Cap and Balance," should be considered as being very firmly in the enemy camp.
