Michael Hammond:
Senate Democrats in the 111th Congress got a lot of mileage from procedural cheating (fiscal and legislative) –- and from extorting concessions from Republicans by threatening to cheat.
For instance, the accounting tricks used to pass ObamaCare would have, if employed by a private business, put the company’s CEO in prison for the rest of his life:
- Majority Leader Harry Reid used bribes, extortion, and corruption to buy the votes he needed to pass vast swathes of liberal legislation, including ObamaCare.
- Reid used a procedural tactic called an “amendment tree” to virtually eliminate Republicans’ ability to offer amendments of interest to them for an entire year.
- Reid scheduled as many as four or five bills simultaneously for no other reason than to buy off votes for his upcoming election -– also blocking all amendments to these bills.
- Reid wallowed in fiscal fraud, claiming that ObamaCare would reduce the deficit -– and, at the same time, sneaking $250 billion in costs onto other legislation.
- Reid used this procedural sleaze to cram more Big Government legislation down the throats of the American people than in any Congress in the last 40 years.
So what do you think Senate Democrats are doing during the first twenty days of the new Congress?
Answer: They’re using a cheat scheme to try to make it even easier for Reid to cram even more legislation down the throats of the American people.
...
There is much more about their latest schemes to evade the rules. It is a good explanation for why I have so little respect for Democrats and you should not either. They will do and say anything to push the evils of liberalism on this country. They know that voters will reject them if they are honest so they resort to the politics of fraud.
