Washington Post Editorial Board Slams Democrats for Fucking Over the District
Posted by: Dirty Dems ()

"THE DISTRICT of Columbia repeatedly has been schooled to the hard truth that its interests will get sold out on Capitol Hill whenever that serves party politics — either party’s politics. So Congress’s refusal to separate the city’s right to spend its local tax dollars from the federal government shutdown should come as no surprise. Nonetheless, it’s hard not to be stunned by the blatant hypocrisy of Senate and House Democrats who claim to be allies of the District but think so little of betraying its interests.

Consider that on Monday, 117 House Democrats — including leaders Nancy Pelosi of California and Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland — signed a letter to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) urging passage of “legislation that would allow the D.C. government to spend its local funds in the event of a federal shutdown on October 1 and therefore remain open.” When a bill doing exactly thatcame to the floor the very next day, only 34 Democrats supported it."

What? Harry Reid threw someone under the bus? You're kidding, right?

Interesting ... a story that the Liberals can't smear the republican-led congress on. The voting record speaks for itself. The question remains ... who will Obama blame for this issue during his Rose garden speech either late today or tomorrow. It's getting close to the time he needs to let off some more steam.

Nah, he'll just go on another vacation. Isn't he about due? It's been like a week or something from the last vacation. Maybe Oprah can show him some nice shops in Switzerland, or was that Swaziland?

more!

"Those who have criticized the mayor for siding with Republicans against fellow Democrats have it wrong. It’s Mr. Gray’s fellow Democrats who have sided against the District and its interests."

No comments about democrats fucking over the NIH, the NPS, and the VA - all of which the house voted to fund? Dems are really intent on inflicting pain on America to support their dictator Obama, aren't they?

The best part was when Reid, on camera, told Mayor Gray essentially to shut up and sit down.
