Greta Van Susteren is doing an interview with one of the chickened-out Democrat state senators from Wisconsin. Feels almost like a deja vu moment.
This Democrat is complaining that the reason they all ran away, is because the Republicans are rammig the bills through much too quickly, with no time for discussion and no attempt by the majority to listen to the minority. She also says that the Governor is being too pushy and aggressive.
Isn't this exactly what happened a year and a half or so ago, when Obama and the Democrats were ramming Obamacare through Congress, not giving republicans any chance to discuss or offer amendments? Not enough time to read the 200-page bill, ramming it through at midnight on Christmas eve night, etc.?
Can anyone come up with a link to reports of Democrats complaining about this virtually-identical procedure back then, that they object to so strongly now that they have to pack up and leave, disrupting all voting and defeating the entire Democratic process?
Or could it be that they don't, in fact, mind such a procedure all that much? And that theyfeel, in fact, that this kind of procedure is actually a normal, acceptable part of the Democratic process?
Since they don't really mind the process, what exactly do the feel so strongly about, that they would break the law, abandon the job the people elected them to do, and disrupt the votes they were elected to make?
Is it, in fact, a major power grab that they have finally failed at? One that shows they are willing to do anything, disrupt any votes, and sabotage any Democratic procedures, ANYTHING to try to preserve the inordinate power their union bosses have usurped, and which they now see slipping away as people tell them to start paying their own way? Forcing them to make the same sacrifices for a change, as normal people have been doing all along?
