Rarely does a political pundit capture the intricacies as well as the broad overarching ramifications of politics as did Jennifer Rubin in her article entitled, Psst, there’s no Obama comeback. here
As visions of DADT fairies dance in the heads of Liberals, Democrats and RINOs the reality is that, what is one Parties success is actually the country’s doom. Sure the progressive agenda was advanced under the 111th Democrat controlled Congress and any Democrat president, Hillary or whomever, could have signed into law what the radical Pelosi left unleashed on the American people with their super major in Congress.
The point is simply this, what Democrats strong-armed into law was purely partisan legislation and its ramifications will regurgitate throughout American life like puked spoiled milk for years to come.

Why not just post it here?
Most of the lame duck agenda was a Parthian shot at an America that they considered to be too stupid, and unappreciative, to re-elect them.
True there was no win, the sucking sound was republicans caving!!!

Yes and the LDA was also a thorn meant to embed in the American psyche much like spray painting “Kilroy was here” on the walls of American history.
Liberals are betting Conservatives will not have the moxie to roll up our sleeves and apply the elbow grease needed to erase the Liberal graffiti off of the social walls of our country
Truth that! And that is why it is so important that we further the hurt on Dems in 2012 and hunt Scott Brown, Olivia Snowe, Susan Collins RINOs
do the 64 blank spots represent no votes ?
No votes or Not Voting
See the blue highlighted individual’s “Not Voting” at bottom of the table. I only included individuals who were already on the list. In some cases they fail to cast a vote based on the fact that their true allegiance will carry without their vote and they will get slammed by constitutents for the vote. In other words the Dems “allow” them to “Not Vote”.
In some cases the Senator my have been absent for other reasons, but consistent “Not Voting” over a period of time indicates hiding their support until it is needed for passage of a close bill. Stealth Dems.
TF,
Thank you for that visual we needed to know and expose the “Turncoats”
Warm regards,
Al

Pray to God you are not right in that assessment but you could be. Republicans are no fighters for Conservative values. As they continue to show.
