Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
These clutches think they can get away with this.
They think that they can present some sort of a phony continuing resolution budget for all of next year after this show ends yesterday.
They think they can actually get this by me just because they submit this after we go off the air yesterday.
What a bunch of c no!
I'm not talking about the Republicans.
I'm talking about Dingy Harry and the Democrats.
Man, oh man oh apparently, despite all of their talk, the Democrats don't care about optics.
They do virtually nothing for all of this past year.
They don't pass a budget specifically and on purpose they don't pass a budget because it's an election year, and they don't want people to know who they are and what they stand for because they would have been shellacked even greater had they done so, had they put together a budget as required by law prior to the election.
So they put it off, they don't do anything, and they come back in what technically is an unlawful session of Congress.
Congress is over.
The new Congress is what should who should be dealing with this?
They come back with this technically unlawful lame duck and they try to cram all of this stuff, all their pet projects.
10%, 10%, which is, I guess, is what their take has always been.
10% of the 1.1 trillion of their 1.13 trillion of this continuing resolution is earmarks.
And a survey and examination has shown that 99% of the earmarks are all Democrat earmarks.
Now we warned everybody this is what was going to happen.
This was the purpose of the lame duck, was for these guys to come back during Christmas, between Thanksgiving and Christmas and try to ram all this stuff in, and they've done it even worse.
Now they're trying to make next year's budget theirs.
They didn't do a budget.
They lost.
Well, folks, even Mike McConnell got ticked off about this.
The uh the the Senate, well, that's what Obama called him, Mike McConnell, the Senate Minority.
It takes a lot.
It really takes a lot to get Mitch McConnell upset.
And this has even ticked him off.
No matter how they spin this, they can come off as only deplicitous and desperate, which is of course what they are.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here with us.
Make no mistake, we cannot uh separate the effort here at this tax bill compromise, which is now a spending bill, and the Democrats' continuing resolution, they're all tied to the same strategy.
And the same strategy is for the Democrats continue to enact legislation as though they were re-elected in November when they weren't.
Now, this is serious stuff here, folks, and this is classic.
It is exactly who they are.
Uh imagine uh, folks, imagine buying a house, and the weekend before closing, the current owner starts a remodeling project, making changes that you don't want.
That would not be allowed.
That would not be permitted.
That's as close to an analogy as what I can come up with here.
We have uh a new owner, Tea Party Republican, scheduled a move in January, Dingy Harry mucking up the house that he still owns out of spite.
The Republicans ought to just shut down every project in the Senate and refuse to move in with Dingy Harry's remodeling ideas.
Just stop it.
Just shut it down.
This is an abomination.
It is outrageous.
It is in it is antithetical to exactly what the American people voted for in November.
This is the biggest, this is a giant finger in everybody's face, a slap in the face.
The Democrats are again, I guess I say they've thrown optics out the window.
This is who they are, and they're telling us plain as day.
Precisely who they are.
There is a way to deal with vindictive bullies, and it isn't to stand aside while they complete their rampage.
Uh, and it isn't to use the same old, well, you know, bipartisanship, get along, we'll be bigger than uh than than they are.
Uh This is the ultimate cramdown.
This Congress has been foreclosed on.
And now this foreclosed on Congress is knocking down the walls.
I mean, they're doing everything they can to destroy everything you voted for and to set up what you voted for being impossible to happen with this outrageous continuing resolution.
I mean, what they are doing, they're trying to cram everything that they wanted into this.
The DREAM Act.
Don't ask, don't tell all of these things that nobody wants.
They're trying to cram it all in with this continuing resolution.
And the uh the Republicans are ticked off.
They're up to speed about it.
They understand what's what's uh what's going on.
It is it is time, you know.
This is not a lame duck.
This is an insane duck, Democrat Congress, and it's time to shut them down.
See, I've I've heard reports Kit Bond, Voinovich, Bob Bennett, Susan Collins may vote for this cluster bus bill.
It is a cluster bus.
Omnibus, my it's a cluster bus bill.
This is why the limbaugh rule exists.
Always vote for the most conservative Republican.
The rhinos or liberals too cowardly to accurately label themselves clever enough to know which political party makes the most electable, uh, makes the most electable in their districts.
This is just ticks me off here, folks.
And I it frankly it it uh it has also ticked off some of the uh Republicans.
I remember how people laughed when we worried about all the damage they could do during a lame duck Congress.
I remember what are you laughing at in there?
Yeah.
It it it it is it is I the this is the well, and I remember being laughed at.
I I remember when I tried to tell people this is what they were gonna Ah, Rush, come on, they know they lost.
This is uh they're gonna want to get home for Christmas.
And you don't understand.
Well, I think more and more people do understand exactly who these people are.
This is the story on it all from the Hill.
Senate Democrats have filed a 1.1 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill.
It's all it's it's almost 2,000 pages.
And it hasn't, the legislation, actual legislation hasn't been spelled out.
It's just a blueprint.
Nobody wants anybody to read this.
They just want it voted on up or down.
1.1 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill that would fund the government through fiscal year 2011.
That's all of next year.
That's that's true September 30th.
This is the Democrats saying, ts, you.
We don't care who you voted for.
We're gonna do the budget next year.
Sorry, guys, you punted.
You refused to do a budget because you didn't want to stand for reelection based on.
Well, this is what they would have done had they had the guts and the courage to do a budget before the election.
And they would have been shellacked even more.
1,924-page bill includes funding to implement the sweeping health care reform bill that Congress passed earlier this year, as well as additional funds for IRS agents.
And these IRS agents, undoubtedly more of the health care reform enforcers.
You can bet that there will not be another significant bill introduced in Congress for the rest of time that doesn't throw more money at health care reform.
The uh package drew a swift rebuke from Senator John Fune, Republican South Ericina, uh uh South Dakota chairman, the Senate Republican policy committee.
He said the the attempt by Democrat leadership to rush through a nearly 2,000 page spending bill in the final days of the lame duck session ignores the clear will expressed by the voters this past election.
This bill is loaded up with pork projects, shouldn't get a vote.
Congress should listen to the American people, stop this reckless spending.
This is why I said last week do the same thing a tax bill, just dump it.
Just forget it.
It's no longer a tax bill.
It's not a tax cut anyway.
Wait for the cavalry, wait till next January.
That's what the Democrats know.
That's what Obama knows.
That's why they're all trying to get this done now.
They're trying to get this done now while they still have a chance with Democrat majorities everywhere.
Theon has called for a short-term funding Measure free of earmarks to keep the government operating beyond December 18th when the current continuing resolution expires.
You know, get one written through February and then go from there.
But this omnibus package must be rammed through to keep the incoming Congress from setting the budget for almost half of their two-year term.
That's what this is.
This is Dingy Harry and the Democrats basically, yeah, we know you won the election, but screw you and screw the American people.
We're going to have a budget written, and we're going to force you into approving it that has our objectives and our ideals, which are grow the government, expand the size of government, limit and take away even more of your freedom, because you people are a bunch of idiots and dolts, as evidenced by the fact that you defeated us.
So there is anger, recrimination, payback, all these things.
This is a budget aimed at the American people as well as the Republican Party, which basically tells us to go to hell.
This is the Democrat Party saying, go to hell, people.
It's what happens when you don't elect us.
We don't care about you, and we never have cared about you.
We care about us.
We don't care this country's being destroyed by us.
That's our intention all along.
That's how we get ultimate power.
Despite strong opposition from Thune and Senate GOP leader Mike McConnell, several Republicans are considering voting for it.
That's my intention, said retiring Senator Bob Bennett, Republican Utah.
Of course he would.
He's ticked off too.
He was sent packing.
Bennett said that earmarks of the bill might give some of his GOP colleagues reason to hesitate, but it wouldn't affect his vote.
Yeah, it'll be tough for some, but not for me.
So screw you.
You send me packing fine.
Here's what it's going to cost you.
This is a spite budget.
This is a budget that's got nothing to do with what's good for this country or not.
Nothing.
This is just spite.
Mr. Bennett is only too happy to punish the voters who showed him the door, and he's making it plain.
GOP Senators Kit Bond, Missouri, also on the way out.
George Voinovich, Ohio.
Susan Collins, Maine also told the Hill on Tuesday they would consider voting for the omnibus, but they want to review it before making a final decision.
Yeah, yeah, the yada, yeah.
They want to review it.
Can't read it if they put it right in front of you.
Don't they realize these people?
Here's what we've learned from Pelosi and Reed and Obama.
Miss Collins, you are not allowed to review the bill until it's passed.
You're not allowed to see what's in it until it's passed.
That's the new standard.
Nancy Pelosi, we gotta pass the health care bill before we know what's in it.
Same thing here.
But still, you have to wonder who was able to write these 2,000 pages in just one week.
You have to also wonder how anybody would have even had the time to read it.
According to other reports, this monstrosity has more than 6,000 earmarks.
There are reportedly at least $8 billion.
Actually, I think it's more than that now.
$8 billion worth of earmarks, it includes at least a billion dollars in additional spending for Obamacare.
So who are the greedy people now?
Where's the concern for the deficit?
I told you yesterday the greed in this country resides on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. That's where the greed is.
Remember?
My friends remember how they laughed when we were worried about all the damage that could be done by a lame duck Congress.
How many trillions is this lame duck session going to cost us so far?
And not just measured in money.
If this thing actually gets rammed through and passes, do you realize the new Congress that was elected has nothing to say about anything fiscal next year?
Nothing.
Because this handles it all.
How much more destruction can these people do to the country in their final days?
L. Rushbow behind the golden EIB microphone.
We got to take a break.
Oh, folks, have you heard if you're watching on a ditto cam, stick with me here?
There's a funny story Out of Batham Rouge, Louisiana.
A Louisiana state employee has been formally reprimanded and suspended for a month without pay because she sent an email to hundreds of government workers that appeared to try to show President Obama as white.
Now, no party affiliation of this woman is mentioned.
We can safely assume that the purpeer is thus a Democrat.
Senate President Joel Chasen announced the punishment yesterday for Senate researcher Tammy Crane Waldrop.
She can return to work on January 3rd.
She must send a written apology to Senate and House staff and lawmakers.
She's also going to have to attend diversity training.
Crane Waldrop sent a message that included a doctored photo of Obama with light skin and says, Do you like him any better now?
No, me neither.
Then you're not a racist.
In other words, Ms. McCain, Miss Crane Waldrop's real crimes were opposing Obama's policy and two, defending her opposition as non-racist.
Now, of course, such thinking can't be allowed.
It is it's it's hate speech to deny that you can oppose Obama and not be a racist.
Chaseon called the message, which Crane Waldrop sent by mistake to the Capitol email post office box, November 30th, highly inappropriate.
Now, you do have to wonder here this whole.
I mean, if you're gonna have if if you're gonna have a picture, and ask somebody here if uh uh uh I don't know where the racism is here.
But what I'm gonna do, folks, I just turned the ditto cam off.
I'm gonna zoom in on this so those of you who are watching on the ditto cam can actually see the picture.
And then as you look at the picture, I have a question for.
Okay, I've zoomed in and here we go.
That is the picture in question.
That's the picture that got this woman in trouble.
This is the picture a woman concocted, photoshopped, if you will.
Um, according to this picture, she didn't do much to lighten the skin.
Does it look like it to you, snertly?
Not enough.
There's not just the basic difference here is the uh is the hair.
It's uh, yeah, it's kind of like a Time magazine cover.
By the way, did you see that the Zuckerberg is the uh person of the year ace dot Assange?
Mark Zuckerberg is the is the Time Magazine person of the year.
It was gonna be Assange.
It must mean they found out he didn't use a condom.
That's what probably aced him out.
Zuckerberg.
Anyway, as you look at this uh ladies and gentlemen's picture, would you vote for this guy?
We are back.
Great to have you here, Rush Limboy, at Christmas time, all across the fruited plane, are in a couple of Washington Post stories.
First off, you know, we we reported yesterday on the uh Washington Post ABC News poll uh health care reform law.
What thing that we overlooked something.
It has gotten scant attention from the rest of our guardians in the media.
Uh, but our friends at Newsbusters point out that even the Washington Post, who commissioned this poll, along with ABC News decided not to publish all of the results.
Now we talked about it yesterday, but not what I'm gonna mention to you.
Apparently, the Post did not want their readers, especially those on Capitol Hill to hear such distressing news.
Coinciding with a federal judges or ruling invalidating a key element of the health care reform law and ABC News Washington Post poll finds support for the landmark legislation at a new law.
But divisions on what to do about it.
In other words, what What was not reported.
What to do about it's another question.
People who don't support the law fragment on how to proceed.
A plurality in this group, 38% saying they'd rather wait and see before deciding on a direction.
The rest, 30% would repeal parts of it, while about as many, 29% favor repealing all of it.
In other words, and this is what ABC and the Washington Post did not report about their own poll.
69% of the respondents, 70%, favored repealing all or some of the bill.
69%.
Health care reform has lacked broad supports.
Also was the case when it was last debated in 1994, given the public's conflicting priorities and concerns.
They did report new law in support for health care reform.
Most uh continually more also continue to strongly oppose the law to strongly support it.
37% to 27%, 2%.
Well, but never was the number 69% mentioned.
Oh, I know we talked about this yesterday, but we didn't dig deep enough to find this overwhelming number.
Health care reform has lacked broad support.
Also was the case when it was last debated in '94, given the public's conflicting priorities and concerns.
It's funny that this is not what we've been told by ABC News and the Washington Post and the rest of the news media over the last 20 years.
They've been telling us the public is clamoring for this.
They've been telling us the public can't wait, that they are demanding health care reform, that everybody get out of the way, and it turns out this is 1994.
Nothing's changed.
Two-thirds to 70% of respondents favor repealing all of it or some of it.
And the number is growing with each passing day.
Something else interesting in the Washington Post as well, coming up.
Yeah, this is good.
It might slow me down a little bit.
I mean, I'm fuming in here, folks.
I am burning up.
No, livid.
I am I am just I'm I'm I'm trying to choose my words very carefully here on this Democrat maneuver.
A little angry at myself for being a little surprised.
I shouldn't be surprised because I predicted this, not specifically.
But these people don't care about this country.
This this this this continuing resolution, this new budget, this is purely out of spite.
These people, and we're gonna get, if we open it up too, we could call some liberals on this program and be happy as hell that we're all so mad about it.
They don't care about the country, they care about beating us.
All they care about is beating us.
We are their biggest enemy.
And they'll take the country down to tubes if that means beating us.
And that's exactly what this is all.
They cannot be trusted with the stewardship of leading this country.
No one in the Democrat Party.
I don't care who they are, no one.
And you're gonna throw some Republicans in that list as well.
This is simply outrageous.
Now, I need to offer a minor correction.
I said we talked about the Washington Post ABC ABC News health care poll yesterday.
We didn't.
It was another poll.
What we mentioned yesterday was the ABC News Washington Post poll result that showed two-thirds of Americans favoring the tax deal.
Which is also bogus.
The truth of the matter is the Washington Post did not report one word about the health care questions in their own poll.
They did not report that 70% of the American people want to s want to repeal some or all of it.
We didn't talk about the health care questions yesterday in the Washington Post, ABC poll.
We talked about the fact that two-thirds are for the tax deal, which we don't buy either.
They didn't mention the health care part, and they still haven't reported it.
It has been found by others in their own poll.
70% of the American people want to repeal all or some of Obamacare.
Washington Post, ABC News poll.
still have not reported that.
Here's something else from the Washington Post.
Poll finds voters not impressed with Republicans'House takeover.
That hasn't happened yet.
This is from Andrew Malcolm, the Los Angeles Times.
With Republicans still 20 days away from taking control of the House of Representatives, the Washington Post could no longer resist delivering the polling news that Americans are not yet convinced the GOP is the party for them.
The The headline in their story is public not yet sold on GOP.
Well, the GOP's not running Congress yet.
We got a poll from the Washington Post which says the American people don't like the job the Republican Congress is doing.
The only problem is there isn't one yet.
The Republicans aren't running Congress.
This is journalistic malpractice.
It's worse than journalistic malpractice.
I don't know what it is, but it's worse than that.
Imagine waiting for the 63 new House Republicans to actually take the oath of office on January 4th and maybe find their seats.
How about letting that happen before polling on what kind of job they're doing?
With Democrats controlling the presidency and the Senate, the newly elected Republicans have yet to accomplish a single meaningful thing.
The public apparently knows it.
As a result, just 41% of those polled by the post-ABC News survey regard the Republican takeover as a good thing, just 41%.
30% say it doesn't matter.
27% have already decided it's a bad thing.
Mr. Malcolm suggests that next week's media poll will be how pathetic the 2012 Republican presidential nominee already is.
When there isn't one.
This is why.
Nick Snurdly told me after the program yesterday, I couldn't figure out why you were spending two hours on no labels.
And then I finally, I'm glad you took it on.
Because it's because of bull crap like this.
Because these are the people that make up the no labels crowd.
The no labels crowd are part and parcel with polling data like this.
Yeah, let's poll the job the Republican Congress is doing.
Yeah, let's do that, and then we'll report it.
So you go out and you ask people what job you how do you Republicans doing running the House?
Well, who's gonna say they enjoy it?
Except the Republicans aren't running it.
I don't know in my memory, I in terms of mainstream journalism reporting or polling, I I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this.
This is an undisguised purposeful effort to impugn and discredit an entire political party that has not yet even been sworn into office.
And this is why I blanch when I run into these Republicans that want to be moderate and bipartisan, try to forge a way to get along here of compromise.
How the hell do you compromise with liars?
How do you compromise with people who will do this in the media?
We gotta do something to make the media report honestly on.
Oh, really?
You think that's ever gonna happen?
I've constantly chided people.
If you're gonna wait for the news media to be fair with us as a sign of your happiness or as a measure of it, you're gonna be miserable for the rest of your lives.
Apparently, a couple things are going on here.
The Democrat Party is determined to destroy our country as founded.
Republicans are divided on the issue.
How in the name of Sam Hill can you have any even Bob Bennett, as bitter as he must be, Susan Collins, as out to lunch as she must be?
How in the world can they side with technical lawlessness?
Which is what this lame duck Congress is.
Imagine the Washington Post's outrage if Tea Party candidates were already calling the shots without having been sworn in.
Mr. Cuccinelli, the Attorney General of Virginia had a great question the other day regarding health care and the mandate that everybody buy health insurance.
He said, what would your reaction be if Congress passed a law mandating that everybody buy a gun?
What do you think the national reaction to that would be?
Well, there's crime taking place everywhere.
Just people, well, everybody's engaging in health care while everybody's running up against crime.
It happens every day.
You never know when it's going to happen to you.
So we in Congress are mandating that you buy a gun.
Or we will penalize you.
If you don't buy a gun, we're going to hire 16,000 IRS agents to track you down and make sure you buy a gun.
Or we're going to penalize you and fine you if you don't.
Can you do you think there will be any support for that?
Yep, we've got.
It's the same principle, folks.
Can the government force you to buy a gun?
Universal reaction.
No way.
But when you ask in the government force you to buy health care, well, let me think about that, Mr. Limbaugh.
This could be a deeply intellectual proposition.
And let's look at the market circumstances and the um day-to-day transactions occurring in the healthcare field.
Now you see, Mr. Limbaugh, everybody is accessing health care in the health care industry at some point in their lives, practically on a daily basis.
And if these people are going to access without paying for it, well, we have a problem.
Okay, so on that basis, since everybody's accessing health care, we're going to damn well make them buy an insurance product.
That's right, Mr. Limbaugh, that they only think fair to keep everything economically on the up and fine.
All right.
Then Mr. New Castradi, we have people faced with criminal situations each and every day.
Many of them unarmed.
And they're they're faced with it.
And uh the economic impact of crime can't be demated.
Uh it's it's it's uh it's an albatross.
It costs people their lives.
Foot of the health care industry, Mr. Limbaugh.
Fine, okay, play.
You want to make everybody buy health insurance, Mr. Castradi, we're gonna pass a law says you have to buy a gun.
It's not the same thing with the Lombaugh Gunth kill.
So do diseases.
I guess it's a great question from Attorney General Kuzzinelli.
But just imagine if the Washington Post let's let's assume here, and this is this is not a bad analogy.
Let's assume that the Republicans in this lame duck session bring in the 63 new freshmen, and they allow them to take part in the proceedings.
Now they may not get to vote, obviously, they're not official members of Congress, but they're they're going to be, it's just a matter of days, and they're going to be members of Congress, so they're brought in, they're allowed to study, they're allowed to listen to the debate, and in fact, they're even allowed to um attend committee meetings.
Well, same thing happening here.
A bunch of people that have been diselected, a bunch of people have been defeated, a bunch of people who aren't going to be in the next Congress are participating in legislation affecting this country next year.
So imagine the Republicans bring in all the new Tea Party victors, 63 of them, and allow them to participate in the lame duck.
Can you imagine the outrage the Washington Post, the New York Times, and all the media would have over that?
Imagine.
Imagine the conniption fit they would have if Tea Party candidates were already calling the shots.
Look at this Washington Post headline.
Forget Tea Party rhetoric.
Pork barrel politics is back.
That's from Dana Milbank.
And it starts this way.
Dear Tea Party voter, you've been had.
That is from Dana Milbank.
Of course, he's happy about it.
He's not worried about it.
He is happy.
He loves rubbing his hands.
Hey, you hicks.
Hey, you throwbacks.
Hey, you Neanderthals.
Guess what?
You've been had.
My guys are running rings around you while you're not here.
They're working on budgets and spending bills.
You think you won the election?
Ha!
You're just a bunch of rubes.
Dear Tea Party voter, you've been had.
The media is loving every moment of this.
Another line from Millbank's piece.
Many Tea Party favorites, meanwhile, have discovered the appeal of Washington lobbyists' cash and advice.
So now the effort's underway.
The Tea Party guys are no different than anybody else.
They're coming in and they're compromising their principles and going for the money and the parties with the lobbyists.
Today's media theme is the Tea Party has already sold out.
Tea Party, that's Dana Millbank.
Tea Party has already sold out while a Tea Party voter has been had.
So an all-out effort is being made to discredit the Tea Party winners and the Tea Party voters.
Not even there yet.
Not even there yet.
You idiots, you rubes.
And while all that's going on, the Democrats are trying to pass a continuing resolution, i.e., a budget that will determine this nation's spending next year.
Heritage Foundation has weighed in on this today their morning bill.
Call Reed's bluff.
Gallup released a poll this morning showing the American people dislike this 111th Congress more than any Congress ever.
In fact, that's good to point out.
Congress approval, this Congress, 13%.
I can't believe it's that high, but it is.
Specifically, a full 83% of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job.
Only 13% approve the worst approval rating in more than 30 years of tracking congressional job performance.
Call Reed's Bluff.
There is no popular support for this Congress.
There's no popular support for Reed.
No popular support in the country for Pelosi.
Caller Bluff.
Back with more on this when we get back.
You know what we ought to do and just shut this down?
Just shut down the lame duck.
Jim Dement wants to have this new start treaty read aloud on the floor of the Senate.
Obama says this is a new low in putting political stunts ahead of national security.
Right.
To have the Senate voting on the START Treaty to ratify it, knowing what it says is a political stunt, says the White House.
I'd call it a public service, especially when everything from stimulus to Obamacare to omnibus was never read by anybody.
And by the way, speaking of political stunts, what was Obama signing an executive order to close Gitmo?
Still open.
White House Gibbs says, reading the START Treaty.
Why that's wasting the Senate's time.
I'll go you one better, Gibbs.
Let's shut it down for the rest of the year.
If you're worried about wasting time, let's just shut down all of Congress arrests.
Everybody go home and have a Merry Christmas.
The only way that's going to happen is people forget you.
The only way anybody in this country is going to have a Merry Christmas is to forget about the Democrats and their attempts to destroy this country.
Now the Heritage people want to know why Americans so despise this Congress, the reckless way it spends other people's money for starters.
One would have thought that after getting shellacked at the polls, Congress would have gotten the message.
They did.
This is, see, this is where people on our side continue.
We think that losers understand that they lose.
These people in their minds have never lost.
They don't lose.
They're not the losers.
The media, the Democrats are not the losers.
They're writing stories today about how smart and crafty and and uh and and and technically funny they are.
Oh, yeah, you Tea Party P, you're the ones that are losers.
You do you the ones that have been had?
Our guys are out smarting you every day.
We're still running this government.
We're still going to run the budget.
You guys won.
You celebrate.
You didn't win anything because you don't know who you're up against.
And that's true.
Congress would have gotten the message.
They did get the message.
That's why they're doing what they're doing.
Reed with his 1.27 trillion omnibus spending bill.
Defending it, Senator Daniel in no way.
Democrat Hawaii told USA Today, who among us believes we should base our spending recommendations for defense, homeland security, and veterans on whatever level was needed last year.
Whoa, that's everybody else's budgets, Senator.
It's a morally repugnant statement.
Defense Homeland Security veterans could all be funded at current levels for one month through a continuing resolution.
And then the next Congress could adjust for defense needs.
In no way is attempting to hold a troops hostage.
And for what?
Taxpayers for Common Sense reports that among 6,600 earmarks in the bill is six million dollars for parkland acquisition, parkland acquisition in Hawaii.
No wonder Americans hate this Congress.
So the Heritage Foundation says let's call Harry Reed's bluff.
Just shut it down.
Just don't go along with it.
There is no reason why this has to be voted on.
There's no reason why this has to move forward.
There's no reason why anybody has to accept this.
Just because they say so.
They're the ones that are despised.
They're the ones that have the low popularity.
They're the ones that hardly anybody approves of.
Why do what they want?
On their timeline.
Why?
Another sterling hour, another sterling excursion into broadcast excellence is uh is in the can.
Harry Reid yesterday announced that in the dwindling days before Christmas, he plans to pass the bipartisan tax bill, a new start treaty, the DREAM Act, immigration, a lands bill, a bill to let gays serve openly in the military.
He's going to keep Congress in session till January 4th to get all this done.
And then he dropped the omnibus spending bill on top of all that.
