Et Tu Spanky?

Look behind you Barry,
Senate Dems are going Brutus on you

Buckwheat's Failed Presidency

From the DC Examiner ...
Moderate and conservative Democrats in the Senate are starting to choke over the massive spending and tax increases in President Barack Obama’s budget plans and have begun plotting to increase their influence over the agenda of a president who is turning out to be much more liberal than they are.

A group of 14 Senate Democrats* and one independent huddled behind closed doors on Tuesday, discussing how centrists in that chamber can assert more leverage on the major policy debates that will dominate this Congress.

Afterward, some in attendance made plain that they are getting jitters over the cost and expansive reach of Obama’s $3.6 trillion budget proposal.
Conspicuous by his absence from this list, is lying coward Sen. Jim Webb, (Flip-Flop, VA)  Sorry for getting carried away.  I despise Webb for trading his long held values for a senate seat, and wish him nothing but ill fortune. 
*Evan Byah (Indiana), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Mark Warner (Virginia), Bill Nelson (Florida), Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota), Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pennsylvania), and Blanche L. Lincoln (Arkansas), Claire McCaskill (Missouri), Mark Begich (Alaska), as well as Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.). Senator Jon Tester (Montana) is not officially in the group, but the article details his discomfort with this spending free-for-all.

"Moderate and conservative Democrats"? No such animal. So a bunch of them got together and scraped up a teaspoon of integrity between them. That's very admirable but truckloads short of what is needed and decades too late. It sure doesn't make them moderate, let alone conservative.

Turing word: kinho. Anybody care? ...I didn't think so.

You speak to Casca, and to such a man
That is no fleering tell-tale. Hold, my hand:
Be factious for redress of all these griefs,
And I will set this foot of mine as far
As who goes farthest.
~Casca

Know you not? T'was Casca sunk the first shiv.

Also conspicuous in his absence is well-known commie lib pinko All-in Sphincter of Pennsylvania. Oh wait, it says "moderate and conservative" Democrats. Nevermind.

(Laughs out loud.)

Yes, Casc...knew it. But there's a reason why I refer to myself as OregonGuy rather than as Laocoön. I hope to walk out, alive and intact.

Anywho, it's all greek to me.

Casca and Oregonguy remind me why I read a book or two back in the day. Good stuff.
