Democrats have added the "authorization to raise the ceiling on the debt" to the defense bill to fund the troops!

Surely you will recall they used the same manuver on a piece of needed legislation when they added the 'hate crimes' crap.

FWIW, I'd rather the Republicans vote "present" and run to the microphones to explain why.

That would have been a bold and intelligent move.

” I’m voting “present” because Obama and the Democrat party went on a drunken spending binge......a real bender......... and they should accept the consequences, and wallow in their own vomit.”
