— Gabriel Malor Just for the election season, mind, but there's no indication that putting this stuff on the back burner now is going to help them in November.
First, Claire McCaskill says that card-check isn't going to come back this year and she seems to realize that Democrat policies are in trouble:
"It has not come up, and believe me: If card-check, the way it was drafted, was going to come up, it probably would have come up early in 2009, as opposed to now."
Yesterday, Harry Reid noted that comprehensive immigration reform isn't a priority either.
Seven months between now and the election. Will the memory of Dem overreaching fade to soon?

They're banking on this. They are going to try and lay low until November and hope people forget.

No. Because unlike years previous (e.g., 1994), now, they have Obama.

Dude, you overestimate me. After all, a few pretty speeches made me think an incompetent thin-skinned vain preening arrogant lazy gasbag who never held a real job or position of authority was competent to lead the most powerful nation the planet has ever seen.

I agree with 8 - this back burner crap is just a head fake.
The indies and squishy republicans who thought 0bama was a moderate now know not to trust him. How do the 0bamacrats intend to win back the trust of the electorate, many of whom believe they got punked.

Remember how Waxman was going to drag the companies in front of their panel for questioning because they were exposing how much ObamaCare was going to cost them to do business? Yeah, me either...
Waxman Cancels Hearing to Prevent Employers From Telling The Truth About Job-Killing Health Care Law http://ow.ly/1ywN9
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) canceled a hearing scheduled for next week regarding the new health care lawÂ’s impact on our economy and jobs:
"House Democrats canceled this hearing because they donÂ’t want to give America's employers a forum to tell the public how President ObamaÂ’s new health care law is already hurting our economy and hampering job creation. Chairman Waxman thought he could intimidate businesses into keeping quiet about this new job-killing health care law, but when they called his bluff by continuing to speak out, he chose to pull the plug.
“With 9.7 percent unemployment and Americans asking ‘where are the jobs?,’ Washington Democrats can’t hide from their job-killing agenda. The nation’s employers and small businesses will continue to alert the public to the impact of this job-killing health care law, and when they do, Congress should listen and heed their concerns, not try to interrogate and intimidate them. Now that Chairman Waxman has canceled this hearing, he should direct his efforts towards canceling this job-killing health care law altogether."

If it does, it will be both our fault for grumbling into our hands when asked to defend our values and the fault of "Thank you, sir, please keep raping me as long as I get all this excellent government cheese," citizens.
So let's hope not for all our sakes.

Sure, because we'll all have jobs by then, and our taxes will be much lower, and we'll have forgotten about the deficit, and none of us will be affected ObamaCare anymore, and we'll have put the government takeover of businesses and the financial system out of our minds, too.
Everyone who's marching right now is just kidding around. They're all just bored or something.

Posted by: ray at April 14, 2010 12:48 PM (Vb0l+)
Kallisto, the problem with the Squishy Rino types is that they WERE STUPID ENOUGH to TRUST Obama at all.
Bad judgement is just what it is.
Do you think for one second that McCain, Graham or even Shelby have good judgement or good political instincts?? They are weak and easily led.

O/T: I saw something on a left blog wherein the poster said that this administration had quadrupled the number of visas being given out. How would I find out if it is a factual statement? The guy was complaining that he is in the computer industry and he isn't being hired cause they are "importing all these people and giving them visas to work here" and apparently he claims they work for less money than he would so he can't get a job....
does that sound right to anyone?
Posted by: curious at April 14, 2010 04:45 PM (p302b)
Nah -- I was reading a reputable source that said over one million work visas or visas+green cards or sumsuch shit were issued last year, the fourth highest number ever.The big deal is we have never invited so many outsiders to work here with domestic unemployment at 10%.

What the dems did, pushed by The Precedent, was not overreaching. It was criminal and an offense to the nation and our principles. It was a full-out assault by Congress and the Executive on the American people and on America, itself. It will not fade, as it has been irreversible damage done to us and our system.
To call this destructive and criminal behavior by the dems "overreaching" is akin to describing a violent rape as an "unwanted advance".

The shit hit the fan when Obama first bowed to the Saudi King. After all the uproar, logic would have it that he wouldn't make that mistake again.
However, it just keeps happening. Is Obama just mocking us now by bowing to every fucking head-of-state, even Communist ones?

No. Obama's still there. He's now the bane of their existence as the incumbents try to hide from him and their votes. [*insert obligatory 'Rove, you magnificent bastard' here*]
Plus, Americans are still angry and getting angrier. The Executive is still working against the country, especially WRT the economy, capitalism, and foreign policy. Incredibly, this lot of Democrats might even convince the Jewish bloc to vote Democrats out. There's not a thing Obama has done or will do before November to change his politics and the bad consequences from them. The sin of ommission for policies he doesn't force now cannot rid the political canvas he and the Donks have already painted. But Obama's not stopping now anyway which makes that a bit of a moot point.

Graham is a traitorous RINO bastard. Keeping it out of committee elliminates one method of derailing it and shortens the time to bring it to a vote.
They are going to try to jam this down out throats just like the other one BEFORE the fall elections.
With Graham and the ME sisters on board there will be no chance of filibuster.
We need ANY kind of recall on Graham; ANY KIND!

From around 1995 through 2001 I was making a pretty good buck as an independent consultant cleaning up and fixing all the messes that import talent caused.
Often in tech work, "cheaper" turns out to be more expensive. A team of 5 good but pricey people will always outproduce, deliver shippable product sooner, and with better quality, than a mob of 10 "cheap" code slingers.

they are finally getting it but so is everyone else apparently since their "rollbacks" aren't working...

seriously, think he was trained to bow like that at a very young age and originally did it consciously but people pointed this out and tied it to his early upbringing but also said "he better be bowing to everyone from now on" so the axe and the jar ette and the ram probably thought this was a good way out...of having to explain...
