Another try and more of the same NO votes

Tuesdays vote for a bi-partisan commission on reducing the deficit failed, 53-46. The 23 Republican Senators listed below voted no. The party who claims to be the party of fiscal responsibility. This was their chance to work in a bi-partisan fashion to find solutions to reduce the deficit. Do they not think it's their problem too? This is purely political to further try and destroy President Obama. SIX rethug Senators co-sponsored the bill as recently as last month, but still voted NO! That my friends is truly rethug pressure, amazing.....


From Politico:
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of 16 Republicans to vote in favor of the commission, expressed despair over the Senate’s lack of progress on the deficit — or much of anything else.

“I’m willing to try anything because I’m desperate,” Graham said in an interview. “Immigration: hard, tried, it went nowhere. Social Security: hard, tried, it went nowhere. Health care: hard, tried, went nowhere. We’re running out of opportunities to try hard and go nowhere. Time is not on our side.”

The tepid support from Democratic leaders contributed to the loss, but more decisive was the number of Republicans switching under pressure from their party to block the measure.

Six Republicans who had co-sponsored the bill as recently as last month voted against it. A seventh co-sponsor, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), was absent for family reasons, but her office said she would have backed the amendment if she had been present.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Pressure from a party to block a measure that would be of positive help for our country and her problems, problems which are the result of BOTH parties?

Look below at your shining examples of pure disgust. Do you think these Senators have your best interest in mind when they cast their NO votes time after time? And to think rethugs are on a roll, they are gonna "take back their country!!!" Take it back from who, and do what with it?
You GOP are worthless, absolutely worthless...
