You Will See What Kind Of People The Dems Are
Jul 9, 2010 Political
The Democrats are looking at losing the House and they are not pretending any longer that holding on is a possibility. Of course they could hold it but right now they believe they will lose it and they are making plans based on that.
The Democrats are leaving a week early for their month off and do not plan to return until sometime in September (all of Congress will be off but the Dems set the schedule) in order to work on keeping their jobs but they have all but conceded that they will lose control of at least one chamber of Congress.
So what will they do? Looks like they will try to pass every major piece of legislation but not until after the election. It would be political suicide to push those things now so they will wait and if they lose control they plan on pushing it all during the lame duck session. It looks like they will try to use some parliamentary procedures to avoid drawing things out so it remains to be seen if they will be able to thwart a Republican filibuster in the Senate.
Outgoing Dems will not have to worry about their votes so they will vote for anything and they will add as much pork to bills as they can. It will be one last shot for them to take as much as they can.
In other words, they will be sore losers and will saddle the country with even more debt. They will vote for things that their constituents do not want (the very things that cost them their jobs) as a big fat F**k You to the people who they are supposed to represent.
If they vote for things that they would not have if they were running for reelection then they will be showing us what cowards they really are.
It all remains to be seen but if they act stupid their constituents should be waiting for them with pitchforks, tar, and feathers…
And in case you were wondering, this is the Obama-Pelosi plan…
