Republicans and Fox News are engaging in treason

Republicans are the only ones who use the filibuster? Oh dear you are truly an idiot. The Dems used it every single chance they got before they got control of the Senate.

Not to mention, Harry Reid & Co. foisted Obamacare on the people by using reconciliation & not a real vote.

Suppose you go to apply for a job and they ask for your password or you don't get the job. Perfectly legal.

Excellent point.

It's possible the Democrats could win the presidency, the Senate and even the House six weeks from now and their first order of business should be to GET RID OF the extremely abused filibuster rule.

The founders never intended that 60 votes had to be required in the Senate to do anything. That's bullshit!

Better off not working for those nazis.

The Democrats NEVER really had control of the Senate because Joe Liebershit, although he caucused with them, is not a Democrat in any way. There were also several Blue Dog Democrats who weren't on board for much of anything. If the Democrats had been in control of the Senate then we would have gotten a much better healthcare bill.

Sounds like a plan to me!


Besides, everything Obama has said he was going to do was just plain WRONG so I would hope they try to block as much of his crap as they can.

But he had two years to pass ANYTHING and what did he do?

So Joe Lieberman and the blue dog Democrats engaged in treason?

I seem to recall Lieberman running for VP on the Democrat ticket, ffs!

Lieberman is not a Democrat and he hasn't been for years, since he lost in his Democratic primary. The conservative Blue Dogs are difficult and annoying but no, they're not traitors dedicated to pulling down the economy like the rethuglicans.

Only traitor is that dumb fuck Kenyan!

i hate obama care and romney care equally

What Kenyan?

Wakes

I think some people need to look up the definition of treason and traitor and then read United States Code and the US Constitution(Article III). Then you can render an "opinion" on who is doing what. Remember though, crimes against common sense don't usually end with punishment.

So the Republicans blocked a jobs bill for veterans who fought in a war they started that sounds like treason.

The definition has been posted in this topic and judgment rendered.

I would say this is the worst thing I have ever seen or heard of.Worse than any video or anything else seen on any conspiracy site.And there are some realy sick videos out there,this tops them all by far.

why u even on a conspiracy site, you probably even beleive their is a difference between obama and romney

Thom Hartmann

After 9-11 you ask why?

Well there is the twin towers with people in it being imploded.Then there is the pentagon that has ten thousand cameras.Five cameras per square inch and not one photo of a plane hitting the building.Then there is the the highest security building in the world,building 7 that was not hit by a plane implodes a half hour after the news reports it collapsed.The Republicans had the Congress The Senate and the Presidency.Now they are voting against the troops who fought a war for them.Voting against the very people who try to protect you from the boogee man.All I can say is voting for Republicans and their policies is pure evil.The Republican party has no direction.They have completely lost their compass.They are voting against the troops.What part of the story do you not understand.If you do not support the troops that is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.DAMMIT MAN

Wow was the death of the Ambassador in Libya just to make Obama look bad also?What is wrong with you people?

Senate Republicans block Murray’s $1 billion veterans jobs bill

Posted by Kyung M. Song

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked Sen. Patty Murray’s $1 billion legislation to create a jobs corps for veterans, invoking a budget rule to kill what they contend is an unproven and unaffordable program.

The 58-40 vote to waive a procedural budget motion fell two votes short. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had already postponed the vote from last Friday, when Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said the bill violates the Budget Control Act.

Five Republicans sided with all 53 members of the Democratic caucus to override the GOP objection, but that was insufficient. Sixty votes were needed.

Sen. Patty Murray

The Veterans Jobs Corp Act would have trained and employed veterans for jobs in forests, wildlife refuges, parks, cemeteries and other public lands. Murray proposed paying for the $1 billion tab over five years in part by collecting delinquent taxes from Medicare providers and suppliers and from individuals with more than $50,000 in unpaid taxes.

Speaking on the Senate floor before the vote, Murray said the GOP’s motion in effect told veterans the nation has spent enough money on them. The Washington Democrat, who chairs the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said the bill incorporated many ideas from Republicans to improve its chance for passage.

In a statement, Murray denounced the Republican blockade:

“It’s both shocking and shameful that Republicans today chose to kill a bill to put America’s veterans back to work. At a time when one in four young veterans are unemployed, Republicans should have been able, for just this once, to put aside the politics of obstruction and to help these men and women provide for their families.

“But this vote is stark reminder that Senator McConnell and Senate Republicans are willing to do absolutely anything to fulfill the pledge he made nearly two years ago to defeat President Obama. It doesn’t matter who gets in their way or which Americans they have to sacrifice in that pursuit, even if it’s our nation’s veterans.

Congress is scheduled to adjourn this week until after the election. Murray’s spokesman said the bill is unlikely to be resurrected this year

In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's sovereign or nation. Historically, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife. Treason against the king was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petty treason. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.
Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavour.

All media outlets are...if your too blind to see that..

My response is simple "GOOD"

why do dems think that more government spending is going to fix everything. How much proof do you need after a 6 trillion dollar addition to the debut since Obama stared. SO the 1 billion more on the 6 trillion is going to make a difference.

You dems are in full retard mode lately. Its quite obvious that spending is the problem, yet you prescribe more of it.


I guess you just want to make this election easier for the GOP then. You forget that while you dems view government as the never ending bank that can spend and create whatever money you want, us in the real world, dont get to take money from bank accounts or borrow money from china.

We actually get a paycheck and when that money is gone, we have to make do...

Of course in your world, you just want to take more of that away from us.


Retards, the lot of you lib demtards

Here is the dem-lib thinking on governments actions:

Muslims attack us- Lets give them a billion and a half
Economy bad- lets spend 6 trilion to fix it.
Healthcare bad- lets pass new taxes so we can give more the insurance companies

Education ranks low- hey lets spend more... that will work.



The constant assumption that spending more money will fix the problem has got to leave this country or we will all fall in the sink hole that is developing.


More money handed out (regardless if it makes you feel good) will not fix our problems, it only makes it bigger.


At what fucking point will you get this through your think skulls?


More government spending is the problem... not the solution.

Ahhh....That pretty much describes what they did doesn't it? And what they are still doing, because they blame Bush for every Obama failure that comes along.
