Tea Partied Republican lawmakers
have been smudging the budget issue
whining and lying that
President Obama and the US Senate Democratic leadership have “failed to pass a
budget resolution” when Tea
Partied Republican Senators were
the ones that held it up throughout
the past four years!
The Budget Act provides special
rules protecting budget resolutions from
being blocked by the record-breaking silent filibusters Tea Partied Republicans have been hurling ever since President Obama came in to office.
So, Tea
Partied Republican US Senators chose to 1) continuously block simple
majority budget votes; 2) propose a Tea
Partied House budget that would
leave the government with as $566 billion annual deficit in 10 years, and
$5.2 trillion in additional debt over that window”
(newyorktimes), and 3) relentlessly tack on smudged amendments to any budget bill presented
by the Democratic leadership.
Here are a few of the Tea
Partied Republican’s smudged amendments…
- Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla) introduced an amendment that would make it a crime to transport a minor across state lines for an abortion.
- Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced an amendment that would repeal Obamacare.
- Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H) introduced an amendment that would prevent a vote on any budget plan that calls for increased taxes.
- Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) introduced an amendment which would repeal the tax increase from the healthcare law.
- Senator David Vitter (R-La) introduced an amendment that would ban abortions that are performed because of the gender of the fetus.
- Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb) introduced an amendment that would allow hospital or health care workers to opt out of participating in an abortion procedures or dispensing emergency contraception if they morally object to it.
- Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss) introduced an amendment that would stop all US dollars to the United Nations Population Fund, an international organization that provides family planning and reproductive health services to women around the world !?!?!

What in the
world is wrong with these people?
Wait until the Tea Partied Republican House
majority gets a hold of the budget.
They’ll make Tea Partied Republican
Senate budget smudge-its seem like a picnic! Make sure your Contact Congress links are ready to go!
GOTTA VOTE
2014!
