I just hope that when November rolls around those
who haven't had the opportunity to digest the
details of activities in Wash DC still realize
that what is happening right now is the result
of *two* people and two people only.
They a
The wicked witch of the West ... Nancy Pelosi, Speaker
of the House and:
Her sidekick and comrade in arms, Chuck Schumer,
minority leader in the Senate.
The rest of our Democrat representatives and
Senators don't count other than for their votes.
They are simply lemmings, following the orders
of Pelosi and Schumer.
Friday:Â* Schumer says "good progress is being made"
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* and "we are very close to an agreement."
Sunday (early and before procedural vote):
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Pelosi announces that House will submit their own,
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* revised stimulus bill next week.
Schumer changes his tune and starts yaking that
there are major problems with
the Senate bill that apparently didn't exist on Friday.
Only change is he talked to or listened to the wicked
witch of the West.
Result:Â* Procedural vote for closure fails Sunday night.
Back to square one while the US economy tanks and we
face a severe recession or worse.
Many economic experts have been saying that a vote
on Monday may have been too late as it was.
My hope:Â* The public remembers this in November.
Saw Senator Chris Coons (D- Delaware) being interviewed this
morning.
He went out of his way to make it clear that the
work group he participated in in the Senate negotiations
successfully came to a bipartisan agreement on their
assigned issues.
In other words - "voters ... don't blame me ... it ain't my fault"
But then he started reciting the Schumer approved talking
points as to why the procedural vote failed.
Low lifes.
