That’s what happens when the Chicgo Democrat thugs have your NSA files. Just ask Chief Wimp Roberts and Gen. Petraeus.

Boner surrenders on Hastert Rule. Will pass Senate plan with more RAT votes than GOP votes.

"Our numbers have gone down," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters Wednesday. "ObamaCare's somehow have mysteriously gone up. And other than that, this has been great." not one mention/concern about America & it's citizens in there. Typical Graham.

Well, Cruz just announced he will do nothing to block it, even though he could. Does he count?

The conservatives and vulnerable RINO’s will get a pass/cover — and get to vote NO — because Bonehead will forego the Hastert Rule and let the Dims votes count.

Without a House bill the Senate bill is the only game in town.
He has to allow the vote or take all the blame for ‘default’.

The Folding Lawn Chair Party strikes again!
I hope this is the end of the GOPe. Hopefully enough conservative Repubs will get good and angry at these so-called "leaders" and dump them pronto and we'll end up with a real conservative Republican party again in 2015, in control of the House and the Senate.

Well by allowing a vote, the Dims plus a few squishy GOP members will pass this. That is the Hastert rule will be violated.
