Every Senate Democrat voted to raise debt limit to $14.3 trillion
Every Senate Democrat voted to raise the debt limit to $14.3 trillion. The vote was 60-40 on straight partisan lines.
Let me repeat that — and let it be repeated loudly and often:
Every Senate Democrat voted to raise the debt limit to $14.3 trillion.
That’s $45,000 per American.
Here’s the roll call vote:

Can’t say it enough: There is no such thing as a “moderate Democrat” in the Senate.

Question: Why is Democrat MA Sen. Paul Kirk still voting?
Reader D. Russel e-mails:
Michelle:
An idea to focus the whole country on the continuing insanity of the Democrats. Energize citizens to send their Democrat senatorsan invoice… a bill to pay them back for deciding to place every man, woman and child in the US an additional $45,000.00 [in debt]. Better yet, make the invoice cumulative since the initial stimulus bill of Obama.

Sounds like both parties are being partisan but Obama only chastises one party. What a loser. Its also very dishonest and misleading. The Liar In Chief Komrade. (LICK)
Any use of the supermajority vote in the Senate would be a violation of the peoples trust. They are pulling a fast one.
They should not be passing any legislation that requires all the Dems to vote in block to pass including one vote that the people of UMASS replaced.
That is downright deceitful and dishonest. These Dems are going down the tubes faster than a greased up Jamaican Bobsledder. They don’t even try to act civil anymore. Either the power has gone to their head or they are so desperate it is scary.
They are shooting themselves in the foot but they continue to listen to the likes of Harry and Nancy and Obama.
They used Ben Nelson like an old shoe and the old fool fell for it. So many others are too.
Clearly, the Democrats motive for doing this is to bancrupt the United States of America. There is no other reason.
Clearly, the only way for voters in the United States of America to remedy this ill is to remove all Democrat elected officials from office, whether by vote or crowbar.
Anyone not willing to must be satisfied with living under the heavy hand of government and the massive debt they will take to their own grave.
This current leadership will go down in history as the absolute worst example of human waste.
The hypocrisy will be when those who voted against raising the debt limit will begin spending it on stuff that they like.
That will be the true test.
With the election of the Manchurian Candidate, and the Manchurian Congress, this Country has jumped out of the airplane without a parachute. The only thing that is inevitable now is a big splat. I don’t even see a repub landslide in November being able to put the toothpaste back in the tube. I hope our children and grandchildren forgive us; but if I were them I wouldnt.
Kirk’s vote is illegal he should not be voting any longer per MA law. they have a senator in place now!
Carter has a definite run for his money.
There is Awesome.
There is even Be-Awesome.
This isn’t either one, but it’s a pretty good way to get a chuckle while you’re looking for the better stuff.
Lil’ O-Bama!
Starting a brand new miniseries at JBYP!
Is this the spending cap Obama called for? What happen to fiscal responsibility? Lies and more lies, will the American people show them the door in November. Lets hope so.
Here’s serious: 10% unemployment (~18 actual) vs. 4% – serious enough?
Senator Burris’ office just hung up on me. I asked why he voted for this. She said, “To create jobs.” I then said, “Well, that doesn’t work. The only jobs created by government spending is public, not private sector jobs.” She then hung up. How I love political appointees vice elected officials. Now time to call Turban Durbin’s office.
