So help me God, I have no way to refute the basic point that the Democrats are making about the CRomnibus fight right now. In fact, I might even go so far as to say they are right.
Here we have a bill that will kick the funding question almost a full year down the road, increases government spending, funds a wildly unpopular and probably unconstitutional executive amnesty, and continues the very practices voters sent Republicans to Washington to oppose. In this context, what possible good faith reason can the Republicans have for threatening to gum up the whole works over doing a favor to Wall Street?
I wouldn't say that Red State was agreeing with her reasoning, just that the support it not passing. But some agreement amongst the squabbling sides, isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Just a far right site crying in the same puddle as the far left of Pelosi. But their tears don't mix in the puddle because they are unlike as oil and water.

And yet, the Tea Party and the far left have something in common here--opposition to the giveaways to Wall Street and the banks in this mess of a bill the Republicans are pushing. Strange bedfellows, indeed.
Where are all the C-D conservatives? Why aren't they making a stink about the giveaways to Wall Street and the banks in this bill? It's one of the Tea Party's core issues, yet the silence from the far right on this is deafening. Which is weird, because they are usually anything but quiet here.
So--you guys are all cool with this?
ETA: While perusing some right wing boards I've come across a meme that is really funny. The president has gone on record as saying he will sign the bill should it get to his desk. THIS has made some Republicans who previously supported it suddenly back away. If Obama is okay with it, we can't pass it! Too, too funny. I think the president is craftier than his opponents give him credit for.

Because I'm still learning what this is all about, what the Rs are attempting to do, and why. Unlike some people, not all Conservatives make knee jerk reaction posts to everything they see. Your post has only been up for an hour. Relax.

Funny. Obama can really mess with their heads. If they want it, and he agrees with them, they have to then be against it. When your only MO is to be oppositional--things get confusing. This is going to be fun. Poor Mitch McConnell's head will explode.

At first glance this smells like typical dc crap... who has read this 1600 page bill or had time to? Isn't this the reason occupy and tea party started? Should occupy and tea party unite? Edit: and why am i agreeing with N Pelosi? is this the twilight zone?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they guy from Red State was feeling the same twilight zone vibe. As am I, agreeing with the likes of Red State and Hot Air. We live in strange times.
