Yesterday Jason postulated that the GOP is run by idiot children. Make it delusional idiot children:
But after they failed to get 60 votes for their Cut, Cap, and Balance plan last week, a group of Senate Republicans is urging Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to bring it to the floor for debate, thus allowing it to pass with only 51 votes. The senators sent Reid a letter today, obtained by Slate’s Dave Weigel:
We urge Senate Majority Leader Reid to reconsider the tabled bill and let the Senate debate it fully, in full view of the American people — so that it may garner the four or five votes that it needs to pass — and to agree that it should pass without invoking the 60 vote cloture threshold in recognition of the urgency of the matter.
Republicans turned the Senate into something needing a supermajority and now they discover majority rule. HAHAHAHAHAHA it’s extra delusional because the CCB only received 47 votes in favor before. Right now the GOP is run by a coalition of the deluded, idiotic and dishonest. I hope Wall Street is happy with the Congress they bought because the rest of us are ready to strangle them.
Nobody knows better than progressives how bad it feels to have your House bill a few votes away from passing the Senate and then fail. Suck it Republicans.
