Republicans Have no Shame

Question

In a move that surprised nobody, Republicans inserted riders in the spending bill increasing an individuals donation limit to party committees 1000% (wait for it..........protecting ones freedom) and gave the big banks a nice little gift to get the taxpayer back on the hook for derivative trading.

The path to oligarchy is in safe hands with the new congress.

Imagine what these shameless hacks will do if they get the executive branch in 16'.

You have a reply for any situation, how hilarious.

dl36 · Answer

seems like a poor strategy considering there would no republicans left if you did that...

Killer_B · Answer

More Tea Party Republicans would solve this issue, too many are democrats with (R's) after their name.

Please trawler, don't act like the Democrats are the answer... 6 years of this moron and the people have seen enough, I'm waiting for his own party to turn on him before he burns the party to the ground... My prediction is they're going to pull a "Bill Cosby" on him before long, just in an attempt to save the party.

btw, you should plan on that happening in '16, the country has had enough of the emperor and I don't think they're going to support that party again for a while, especially if things get better with the takeover from the last election, not that I'm sure that will be a good thing either...

Why no blame for the Dems that voted for this in both chambers? Both parties add garbage to bills that fit their agenda and the common demoninator is they cost us, the taxpayers, more and more money. Both parties could care less about fiscal responsibilty, it&#x27;s all about getting power, keeping power, and paying back those they got them there.

dl36 · Answer

didn&#x27;t trawler was at all... neither is dan or myself... as a non-partisan independent I don&#x27;t favor either side...I think the problem is that the GOP have ran on this platform of obama opposition under the guise of fiscal responsibility and than when given the chance showed their true colors and as dan pointed out neither party could care less about fiscal responsibility...This reminds of how obama ran his campaign on the promise of peace and accepted a nobel peace prize but has been involved in miliatry action that has progressives critical on him... You would think that you would see "conservatives" that believe in fiscal responsibility to critical of GOPs on this....The issue here is about trust and character of the republican party... This is like if a party ran on the platform of prochoice than once in power immediately made all forms of abortion, birth control and contraception illegal, criminal and punishable by death....Than in the next election ask for your vote and at that point it isnt even their platform or ideas  because what we have learned is that it is all lies and false promises and will do the exact polar opposite of what they preached to grab power...So there is no sense in voting for them simply because they have chosen to conduct themselves in a manner that they can never be trusted ever again... their words are meaningless because they their character and true colors have been exposed to all...So the thread is not about championing democrats.... but instead it is about how this choice by the GOP legislative branch poor strategy for their image and future elections...  I would add that like the comparison I made with peace lovers being critical of obama you would think so called conservatives would be critical of this...  even sara knows the GOP base is full of.....CINOs

here are some other gems i&#x27;ve been reading about this $1 trillion monstrosity.first and foremost, 55% is for military spending (1% of which is for pay raises for personnel).  that&#x27;s a lot of corporate welfare to give to defense contractors, but on the other hand, there are a lot of brown people out there so we need to send that money to defense firms to keep us safe.  plus, this ISIS group we just heard about killed a few americans (none in the US but still) so that has to be worth a few billion. nothing about reforming that tax code everyone seems to talk about but do nothing to fixand maybe most importantly for the success and freedom of americans, congress gave itself a pay raise.  not directly, but by increasing the amount of money that can be "donated" to them.  so, bad news for all of the little people.  the cost of buying someone in congress so you can get some of this welfare going your way just went up.  anyone think obama vetoes this thing?  don?

Why were the Republican&#x27;s scared to death to have the government shut down? Nothing dramatic to the best of my knowledge has ever happened or not happened during a shutdown. &#xD;&#xA;Did the IRS hire an additional 16,000 agents to make sure you have purchased your Obamacare?

ClubDirt · Answer

i think a lot of people who have government jobs rely on the government operating so they can get paid, feed their families, that kind of thing.

the new spending bill cuts funds to the IRS, i believe,.

sundance · Answer

The Right and Left are in it together. Can not tell them apart.

wallstreetcappers · Answer

Obama campaigned tough that one might think he would veto this crap, but he like all politicians are owned by lobbyists.

I read that ole Jamie made a few phone calls to remind some key politicians that they better vote this thing through or else.

ClubDirt · Answer

yeah, that jamie story was on a few websites.  when the boss calls, those politicians jump to attention.

sundance · Answer

The US tax payer on the hook for trillions of derivative bets. The sad part is hardly anyone knows.

Danrules24 · Answer

They are all bought and paid for and we are paying the bill. &#xD;&#xA;How can there be no balanced budget since the days of Newt and Bill? Just plain wrong.

dl36 · Answer

So you are saying both the left and the Right are truly the enemy from with in?as a non-partisan independent I can agree with that...  how ever this seems like a really big flip flop for you considering your long history of posting about the enemy from with in...  perhaps you are starting to see the light

Have to admit I&#x27;m guilty of that at times myself, but I&#x27;m not oblivious to the bad laws and policies the Republicans have bestowed upon us.

dl36 · Answer

other than this one, what bad laws and policies would you say republicans have bestowed on us? like top 5 maybe?

Danrules24 · Answer

Just off the top of my head, The Patriot Act, the war on drugs, the war in Afghanistan, the Iraq war, the banning of sports betting in the US other than Vegas.

The 5 I listed combined cost this country billions if not trillions, killed many innocent people and took away many freedoms. Of course the republicans had plenty of help from the Dems in getting those things passed.

sundance · Answer

dl36, Yes. The leadership of both parties are in it together to bring this country to its knees. They both are the &#x27;Enemy Within&#x27;. Boehner and McConnell need to leave their respective leadership positions immediately.

ClubDirt · Answer

this looks like the culprit.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/15/kevin-yoder-wall-street-bailout_n_6329784.htmlalso, this bill is supposed to be 1600 pages long.  i&#x27;m sure they all read it though, unless they need to pass it first to see what&#x27;s in it.

eeyore76 · Answer

good comments after the original crap is over....carry on fellas...all good stuff.....both sides suck and we pay the price....been going on for a long time...get NEW blood leading and lets see what happens.....not going to happen though I am afraid..

1600 pages WTF...should limit bills to 3-5 pages...pass one law aat a time if necessary.....or line item veto....then you know

we havent learned the lesson from 'we have to pass the bill to see what is in it' days of Nancy

dl36 · Answer

So good you needed to post this twice...They days of singling out one party as good and the other bad are over...  only the simpletons and lemmings fall for that saying only one side is the enemy from with in...Sounds like you are coming around... I am always critical of both sides equallyNon-partisan independent...
