JOHN MCCAIN LECTURES TEA PARTY SENATOR ON HOW ‘BUSINESS’ GETS DONE IN CONGRESS: ‘THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN DOING FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS’
Speaking on Senate floor on Thursday, a fed-up Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) scolded Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) over his objection to initiating House-Senate budget negations unless a debt limit increase is taken off the table. It’s a stance shared by another Tea Party favorite, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
McCain lectured Lee over such a proposal, saying it would “paralyze the process.”
“The senator from Utah keeps talking about back-room, closed-door deals,” McCain said, explaining how that’s how stuff gets done in Congress. “How do we reconcile legislation that is passed by one body and the other body? That’s what we’ve been doing for a couple hundred years.” More
McCain is about as honest as P.T Barnum. It IS, however, an indicator of how entrenched this backroom, bribing, favor-trading, slimy group has been "getting it done". You vote for my bill and I'll tell you where the next Interstate hwgy is going, or tell you what company to buy stock in, etc. Snakes. Thieves. Cheats. Dirtbag scum. Hang 'em all, and START with McCain.
time for McCain to step off the stage. he's a great war hero whose time has come. the "old guard" needs to retire before they over stay their welcome.

ReplyDeleteIts about time for all negotiations be about what get cut rather than what to spend money on.
