“If you guys will cave and give us Obamacare, I promise to consider thinking about consulting with my colleagues in the senate so that we might ponder a strategy to consider meeting with you to think about negotiating some potential tax reform. I promise!” - Harry Reid
Reid just practicing up on his Taqiyya
For once we hold all the cards. The Democraps are boxed in.
So you may have asked yourself, as I have, what am I missing? What has Reid got up his sleeve? Republicans ALWAYS lose.
I think I've figured it out. Reid was banking on negotiating with Boehner and McConnell. Instead, he got Cruz and Lee.
What the Democraps failed to anticipate was that the Republican Representatives fear their constituents more than the Republican leadership. Boehner can't control them, and has said as much. I heard a report on the radio, where Boehner reportedly said, "I can't get the votes for any CR that funds Obamacare."
That explanation makes sense to me.
Exactly. My point is that we have gone from “We won’t even talk unless you offer a Clean CR” to “Uh, let’s talk about, uh, well, talking.”
They had better do something. The liberals are running out of names to call. Harry, these people are listening to their constituents.
And in less than 48 hours. :)
Yes, why isn’t someone talking about five years of no budget that constitutionally is to be submitted by the president to the Senate every year? The Senate budgets and the House pays the bills.
Yup.
Trust nothing Chicken-neck does, says or implies.
