Sen. McConnell On 2000-Page Omnibus Bill: "No One Has Seen It"
realclearpolitics.com ^ | December 14, 2010 | realclearpolitics.com

Posted on 12/14/2010 2:51:38 PM PST by fuzzybutt

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says Democrats have not shown Republicans the almost 2000-page omnibus page.

McConnell says the lame-duck Congress should pass a short-term budget and not the current $1.1 trillion bill.

So what are you, and the GOP Senate caucus, going to do about it, Mitch?

This is why I just bought a sailboat and am provisioning for a 5 year cruise. This mess is unfixable.

They have to pass it to find out what’s in it.

Worthless bass turds.

You can watch the place crater from a safe distance, but eventually you'll need to tag up with the real world again.

Maybe-maybe not. I am old. The only hope I see is for the States to assert their power. Hoping for a change in the Federal system is Moronic in my opinion. Only if 34 states get a brain and call a con-con can the madness be stopped.

Obama said many times, “Hey, the bill isn’t even written yet.” That’s how the Democrats do things. McConnell should “slow walk” the whole thing till time runs out.

Good plan, and not the first such I've heard discussed.

It might just all settle out in one or two, but you can bet it will all look a lot different in five, no matter where you land.

I wish I hadn’t watched the video and instead simply stuck my head in the sand. This made me physically ill.

If our side can’t or won’t stop this, then in my view, it is time for 10+ million patriots to march on Washington.

I have written both of my senators and pleaded with them to vote against the current bill on the budget. It seems that the GOP leadership still has not gotten the message. People did not vote for Republicans, they voted for Conservatives. We should never forget those that voted to pass this bill.

Maybe "Mike" McConnell did. At least that's what Obama called him in a bill signing photo op the other day. Imagine if GWB had not known the name of the minority leader of the Senate. The media would have played it every half hour news for 3 days to make sure virtually every American heard it. Obama? I just happened to hear Rush play the clip on his show.

I don’t know, but with all the pork and earmarks, it seems to me, it’s bee a long time in the making and several lame duck RINOS are thrilled -— they’re committed to voting FOR it. Senator’s Bennett (Utah) Kt Bond (MO) Voinovitch (Ohio) and Susan Collins thinks she will vote for it and when I called Thad Cochrane’s office today, I’m sure he’s a “yes” and the beat goes on. Cochrane is the biggest porker in the Senate!

He and Boehner will go off in the corner and start crying.

None of the clowns gutless wonders deserve to be in office. Instead, if I were these guys, I'd go up to Reid and Pelosi and kick 'em in the ass, and hope I was on national TV.

The "let's reach across the aisle" mentality is pathetic.

Seriously...I want to see some Republicans getting handcuffed for kicking the living sh!t out of Democrats on the floor of the Senate.

What the hell are these people waiting for? It's time to go bare knuckle on these traitors! Get the whole damn place in an uproar and bring it all to a screeching halt! Get the whole damn Capitol police force down there to put some order in, if that's what it takes.

Damn!
