1 Week Later: GOP Senate Says 'Screw You' to U.S. Voters

[Billy000]

Senate Republicans signaling shutdown threat over immigration

Likely incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) may be talking nice and promising comity and common sense in its dealings with the Obama administration. But the tea party wing of the Senate? They're having none of it and making noise about a shutdown over the president's intention to use executive power on immigration. Case in point? Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), in an op-ed for Politico:

And it cannot be implemented if Congress simply includes routine language on any government funding bill prohibiting the expenditure of funds for this unlawful purpose. This is the same way we prevented the President from closing Guantanamo Bay. Such application of congressional power is ordinary, unexceptional, and used thousands of times.
Congress has the power of the purse. The President cannot spend a dime unless Congress appropriates it.

Karl Rove, who himself has advocated for amnesty, urged Congress to use its spending power to block the President’s fiat. He said Republicans should “use every tool available,” and put “riders on appropriations bills that say no money shall be spent to execute this policy.”

Yet reports have surfaced of plans to pass a long-term lame-duck spending bill through Harry Reid’s Senate that contains no such prohibition. This would be unthinkable.
​

Now, Sessions and his fellow ideologues like Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) are being very careful about not using the word "shutdown" and are in fact claiming that using appropriations bills to shape policy is standard procedure. Yes, except for one key aspect: trying to use appropriations bills to defund one of the president's key policy priorities will likely lead to a shutdown because, well, the president is not likely to sign a bill that undoes a signature achievement (think back to Sen. Ted Cruz and his unsuccessful shutdown over the Affordable Care Act).

Yes, Lads and Laddies, (and morons), the new GOP Senate is lubing up the arse of the American Voter.

Republican disapproval ratings are already at 75% but for some insane reason republicans still get elected. It's American stupidity at its finest.

Republicans don't give a shit most Americans are against a shutdown of the government. They just do what ever radical, destructive means to get their warped self interested agenda across.

Bwahahahahaha!!!
Amazing !! A 75% disapproval rating yet they just cleaned your progressive clock.

Yeah how many times do I have to say it? Americans are stupid.

Tell that to all the DEMs and REPs who will be voting for the Keystone TODAY!!!!!! after the fuck-witt Harry Reid stonewalled the bill for SIX FUCKING YEARS!!!!!!!!! FOR 100% political reasons.
REPS walk in on the first day and all of a sudden important bills start moving forward.
Wise up pal.

16% of the federal gov was shut down. Thousands were placed on furlough including my sister.
It's the GOP who hate America apparently.

This is indeed apparent... to mindless, partisan bigots.

You mad bro? I know the liberals getting their ass kicked and rejected by the American people must be difficult, nobody likes being rejected but honestly its their own fault.

 

[TheIceMan]

Nobody wants to address illegal immigration. Verbatim, they are criminals. The left is trying to court the vote and the right, in their usual chickensh*t fashion is doing nothing, trying to not alienate the vote.

The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to interdict detain and deport.

But according to Jonathan Gruber Americans are retards who need government bureacrats to ignore the Constitution (1787) when they have "good intentions".

The American people tell Obama to back off executive order amnesty in a national election, Obama tells the American people to fuck off, and now this is the GOP's fault? Just another day in lying liberal denial land.

"1 Week Later: GOP Senate Says 'Screw You' to U.S. Voters"

And ONE WEEK LATER, Mary Landriew is saying SCREW YOU to her party, the Dems. I hope the voters see through this desperate deception on Dec. 6th.

Desperate to win reelection in December’s Senate runoff in Louisiana, Democratic senator Mary Landrieu is pushing to get the Senate to take up a bill approving the Keystone XL pipeline.

So is her opponent, Representative Bill Cassidy: The GOP-controlled House plans to take up Mr. Cassidy’s bill [on the pipeline] Thursday, and the Democratic Senate is expected to follow suit as early as Tuesday. . .

Yep, they did elect obama twice, so stupid is the right adjective.

 

[depotoo]

Since no Republicans voted for it, shouldn't he have qualified his statement? I guess he figured that would be too obvious.

Basically, John Gruber told the rest of America that the Obama administration thought they were stupid. That happened to be six years of "screw you" to the voters. Unfortunately it took until now to realize it.

We've been hearing rumors of it for a long time so now Obama's actions are pretty clearly stated by Gruber

You Stupid Americans

Sure it does. The one thing the Federal government is supposed to do is protect our sovereignty. Instead, it meddles in affairs it has no authority to, while ignoring its actual responsibilities. Shell game anyone?

 

[M14 Shooter]

The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to interdict detain and deport...

... people who enter the country illegally?
Really?

Didn't she have 6 years to get something done on the Keystone pipeline? My guess is she is a liar and will say anything to save her own ass.

Yeah I agree democrats did contribute to their demise. I don't defend democrats. I don't like many of them. I defend liberal policies. That's all I care about.

However none of that justifies going full retard and voting in republicans who are so much worse.
