Vanity: Why did the GOP Senators vote for a two month extension in SS contribution cut? Why did the GOP Senators not hold out for the congress one year extension?
Go along to get along...
because the GOP rino’s lean more to Obama than they do conservatives
Why extend it at all?
To get out of Dodge before Christmas.
Because we all are talking about it and not the massive 1 trillion spending bill that was just rammed through. It’s called diversion.
And by doing so those idiots really screwed the Tea Party in the House. Sick of RINOs.
The Stockholm Syndrome.
Without a link to back it up, I understand that they thought the House was willing to go along. The Tea Party revolt exposed them all.
Because of they held out for a 12 month extension the media would say they voted against an extension...
Just like the nedia is saying about the House.
Because it’s a lousy plan in the first place. Not a real tax cut, and discriminating against retired people. But they agreed to two months IF Obama would expedite the pipeline.
Boner, on the other hand, is a stupid jerk. Now the whole thing has been screwed up, and the Republicans come out of it with nothing but a lot of blame. From Obama, from the press, from the libs, and now even from conservatives, who haven’t looked at it closely enough to understand what’s going on.
I think the Senate GOP screwed themselves. Get rid of them.
>> Why extend it at all?
So who the Hell is responsible for covering the benefits that are not getting funded? More crap getting rammed down the throats of America’s children.
Bastards!
Because they’re not smart enough to clearly deconstruct what’s going on. Cantor sounds like he’s in a haze.
Get rid of them. They don’t have a majority and side with Marxists. Before we throw the TEA Party House under the bus lets applaud them for holding ground. Obama needs this debate going into the elections and the TEA Party is saying hell no!
With “leaders” like McConnell and McCain in the Senate, do you really need to ask this question?
They are limp-wristed RINOS who may as well go ahead and put a (D) after their names. I’m through with all of them - if they are currently in office, they can go to hell as they will not receive a vote from me.
Because they were scared to vote against the compromise and look like middle class tax raisers. The handwriting is on the wall on this unfortunately.
Ding ding ding!
Ten Senators voted against the Senate Bill, seven of them Republicans; these are the good guys::
Corker TN
DeMint SC
Johnson WI
Kirk IL
Moran KS
Sessions AL
Shelby AL
The rest of the Republican caucus went along with Harry Reid and voted yes.
Also voting against were Leahy VT, Sanders VT, and Manchin WVA - for reasons known only to themselves.
