Three lefty websites are busy
speculating the path of the 115th Congress now that the Republicans have seized
control of the Senate, maintained control of the House and now have 31
Republican governors. Obviously, they
are trying to help steer a Democrat Party in shambles after their electoral
drubbing.
Spinning like a whirling dervish, they theorize that six “red
state” Democrat senators are “on the rise” and boldly proclaim that “bucking
their own party leaders and the White House will determine whether Republicans
will succeed in governing—or flop.”
The six senators mentioned are Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Joe
Manchin (D-WV), Heidi Heikamp (D-ND), Joe Donnelly (D-IN) Angus King (I-ME) and
Jon Tester (D-MT).
McCaskill may vote in favor of the XL Keystone Pipeline. Manchin
was against Reid’s filibuster reform.
Heitkamp voted to block gun background check legislation. Donnelly is in favor of reversing the 30-hour
work week definition under Obamacare.
Testor helped kill the DREAM Act filibuster in 2010.
And then there’s Angus King.
King will continue to caucus with the Democrats, but has tried to play
deal maker on the issues of gun control and student loans.
Senator King feigned ignorance of the bombshell admission by Dr.
Jonathan Gruber, Professor of Economics at MIT and technical consultant architect
of the regime’s implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act AKA Obamacare who said. “The bill was written in a tortured way to make
sure CBO (Congressional Business Office) did not score the mandate as
taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as
taxes, the bill dies. Lack of
transparency is a huge political advantage.
And basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to
pass.” In the video, Gruber also noted “the
stupidity of the American voter.”
This morning, Sen. King was being interviewed on Fox & Friends in what turned out to
be an explosive exchange. The video is
embedded below. Given his level of
hubris and make-believe ignorance of Gruber’s remarks, you can pretty much
figure out this guy is a worm who cannot be trusted.
Speaking of trust, it was The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer
who said, “If you like your insurance plan, you can keep your insurance
plan. If you like your doctor, you can
keep your doctor,” some 36 times—that pabulum was later dubbed The
Lie of The Year
