Far Left Makes Voices Heard
This will be interesting to watch... Can the DEMs control their extremists or not? WAPO Liberal Revolt CNN PAYGO
seeing as how the House passed spending bills this afternoon, one can assume that the rules were adopted. My question is, how do you tell an extremist from the average Democrat?
No, we don’t control people well. That some Democrat somewhere is saying something stupid an that a Fox intern will find him is a realty I have learned to live with. At least my party didn’t nominate a guy for president who thinks Obama was born in Kenya. The folks in my part6 who think Trump was born In Kenya don’t advance nearly that far.
this story seems like fake news to me or puts too much focus on a couple of votes. I think their rules proposal will easily pass.
ReplyDeleteNow you're worried about fidelity to PAYGO rules?
ReplyDeleteI am not concerned either way...
ReplyDelete"This will be interesting to watch...

Hopefully they can control their Far Left
fringe better than the GOP was able to
control their Far Right fringe.
Or they may give more offices back to the GOP in 2020.
Apparently that far right news source...(VOX) is covering it too...
ReplyDeleteBeing opposed to PAYGO is not an extreme position.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like only the far Left folks are resistant...
ReplyDeleteAnd mostly because they don't want their hands tied when it comes to new socialistic programs...
Seems kind of extreme to me.
Maybe we can get them all to sign up for a balanced budget amendment... :-)
"It seems like only the far Left folks are resistant..."
ReplyDeleteCheck to see what the votes were on suspending PAYGO rules when Paul Ryan was the speaker.
Was it the far right voting against common sense then too.

ReplyDeleteThere’s an R next to their name.

You guys are so funny. :-)
ReplyDelete"Was it the far right voting against common sense then too."
ReplyDeleteThe Republican House in 2017 voted 227-13 in favor of ignoring PAYGO. Those are the guys you vote for.
I assume you are talking about the Tax Bill Vote
ReplyDeleteA bunch from both parties voted against it then in 2018. Spending Bill Vote
Yes, hence my point: Being opposed to PAYGO is not an extreme position.

Sean,
ReplyDeleteI don't have time nor interest in looking at the details of those vote tallies...
However I am betting the primary supporters of violating PAYGO were at both extremes.
The Far Right really wanted that big tax cut...
The Far Left wanted to spend the money...
Of course the military spending increase may have complicated my theory.
"I don't have time nor interest in looking at the details of those vote tallies..."
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. Never mind the facts, I'll stick to my talking points!
If you want to specifically determine who voted for and against the bills...
ReplyDeleteAnd to compare this to where they are on the political spectrum...
Please feel free... Otherwise both of us are just guessing.
So, you're asserting that virtually the entire GOP caucus is extreme, then?
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are complicit if not extreme...
ReplyDeleteI mean what historically normal GOP or DEM would vote to increase the deficit with a tax cut and spending increase passed just over a month apart?
That is why I am wondering how the DEMs will handle their new Far Left members?
