POLITICIANS’ PROMISES HAVE SHORT LIFETIMES: “As they prepare to take control of Congress this week and face up to campaign pledges to restore bipartisanship and openness, Democrats are planning to largely sideline Republicans from the first burst of lawmaking. . . . instead of allowing Republicans to fully participate in deliberations, as promised after the Democratic victory in the Nov. 7 midterm elections, Democrats now say they will use House rules to prevent the opposition from offering alternative measures, assuring speedy passage of the bills and allowing their party to trumpet early victories.”
I can’t believe anybody is actually surprised by this, except for maybe a few clueless Republicans. The Democrats always scream about “b ipartisanship,” and demand it whenever they are in the minority, but if they are in control, the position is, “You lost and we’re in charge now. Shut up and sit down, you losers.”
Of course, that’s exactly how the liberal media, which agrees entirely, wants it to be, so you won’t be hearing much about this from the usual sources. Even though in its own way it, too, is a grim milestone. The 1000th broken Democratic promise of the new millennium. (I’ve been counting….)
