— to completely hose the American Taxpayer post-November as potential “lame ducks.”
From the Republican Study Committee:
Democrats Keep Door Open to Dangerous Lame Duck Session
Washington, Jul 29 – Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after offering a resolution on the floor of the House of Representatives calling on Congress not to hold a lame duck session after Election Day for the purpose of passing hugely unpopular legislation like a national energy tax, enormous deficit spending bills, and the kickback to Big Labor known as “Card Check.”
“Americans are sick and tired of their elected leaders making backroom deals to ram through unpopular, 2000-page bills that no one has read,” said Chairman Price. “They are sick of out-of-touch politicians, and they are tired of being ignored. A number of Democrats, including members of their leadership, have recently expressed a desire to ignore the public will and use a lame duck session to pass liberal legislation Americans do not want. Today I gave my Democrat colleagues an opportunity to show they are finally ready to listen to the American people.
“Our system of government rests upon the consent of the governed, but it is quite clear that Democrats no longer have Americans’ consent. The public’s trust in this Congress has been repeatedly broken. Voting for a national energy tax and other items on the liberal wish list in a lame duck session would shatter it beyond repair. Republicans are fully prepared to do what is necessary to restore Americans’ trust in their elected representatives. We know it will be a long road, but it is one well worth traveling.”
So guess what the track of the Demorats will be? I suspect you now have an inkling.
Pass every lousy, nation-defeating, budget-sapping oppressive bill they can muster.
And remember, ladies and gentlemen — this is their plan if they LOSE. Can you imagine their buoyancy and plans if they WIN?

The lame duck possibility is very scary. The NOT voting them out in November possibility is even more scary.
The lies are getting ramped up now by the demonrats. They are throwing out all the bullshit they can spin to get the “believers” to the polls and save them.
The view appearance by Duh-1 showed their hand. The democrat talking point is “It could have been worse” and “Bush Recession”
The counter needs to be “Regan came into a worse recession and turned it around within 17 months.”
The counter needs to be Private sector job loss, It needs to be about foreign policy, and his lack of leadership during crisis. Make ALL Democrats suffer for Obama’s incompetence. And point out all the Pelosisms…The buy outs, bail outs, backroom deals, bribes, ethics violations, and tax evasions….Should be enough ammo to get every demonrat out of office.
As vidictive as the dems have shown themselves to be, along with the administration, I think a lame duck passage of all kinds of crap is pretty much a done deal…sigh
Just one congresscritter, either house, that does not let any ‘unanimous consent request’ to go unopposed, that does not allow a bill to be ‘read into the record’ without reading it out loud, the same with each and every amendment and then the full bill as amended… just one congresscritter with actual spine… can derail this.
Do you seriously think a Republican would have the guts, nerve and honor to do that?
It ‘is’ a nuclear declaration… and the way to fight it is with one-page, easy to read, no amendment bills. As the other side will then use that option from here on, out, thus stalling everything. And for things that don’t get brought up? Shame they aren’t funded.
Just one.
That is all it takes to stop up Congress as it was intended to do. Cast your votes very carefully this fall… your liberty depends on it.
The Dems have got to be thinking, “If we’re on the way out, what have we got to lose?”
They didn’t think about the real answer to that…
America…
November is coming my friend, we must hope and pray people will be smart and vote out every single politician that has betrayed the will of the people.
Robert: and the Party Line of the Demorats and Leftists is “racists racists racists racists.”
It’s all so tedious and fatiguing.
NFO, you may be right, considering they figure there’ll be no political price to pay for slipping the noose around America’s throat and then pulling.
AJ, just “one” as you say — we’ll see, then, won’t we?
This November will be so incredibly important and will be so telling on so MANY levels.
TF: and that’s the question they’re posing. And some days I don’t think they really care. They WILL sacrifice this nation for philosophy that has been PROVEN — very RECENTLY — to NOT WORK.
Make no mistake Leticia; it IS a betrayal.

I shudder to think of the disaster of a lame duck session if we win. Shudder more at ANY session if we lose.
And remember, ladies and gentlemen — this is their plan if they LOSE. Can you imagine their buoyancy and plans if they WIN?
That’s a frightening statement! And the reality, I suppose.
