I say call his bluff. He wants this pork barrel, let his 'Rats vote for it. They've got the numbers. Let them take the responsibility. Then hang them on it if it fails. If it works, they can have the credit. No cover for the 'Rats. Call the roll and record the votes. Let the 'Rats vote yea, the 'Pubs vote no, and walk out.
If only the republicans and the rinos will have the gonads to circle the wagons!!! I would love to see them all get up and walk out en masse—without voting at all!!! Can’t they just do the HolyO thing and vote “Present”?!?
Then let’s see their holy leader try to pin the failure of this porkulus bill on the minority party! Ha!
