Real
Clear Politics reports: DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
Congresswoman of Florida, says the House adjourning while Steny Hoyer was
trying to speak shows that the House Republicans do not care about the middle
class.
"Just look at the clip that you showed at the outset of this interview. Steny Hoyer, the Minority Whip was trying on the floor today as the session opened to simply introduce the Senate bill so that we could take it up and pass it. And they wouldn't even let him speak. The Republican speaker pro temperature pointed by Speaker Boehner walked off. Wouldn't even acknowledge there was a member asking for floor time. Trying to introduce a bill to fight for the middle class. They clearly showed the callous indifference to the middle class today. . . . . .

Point One
When we actually "look at the clip,"
it is clear that Steny Hoyer had a prepared speech and that he waited
until the last minute before jumping up and demanding a floor vote.
Understand that he could have made his request at anytime during the day,
but chose the last minute to make his move proving this to be nothing
more than a publicity stunt.
Understand that after the House has sent a bill
to the Senate and that bill is voted on and returned to the House, a
conference committee is set up, members of both houses meeting together to work
out the differences in the two bills and then, each house votes on that
bill. That is how it is done. That is the congressional rule of thumb for
the past 30 years. This process was crafted to avoid "stand
offs" between the two houses of Congress.
Point Two
The Democrats turned out the lights and walked
out of the House back in 2008, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi. And,
let's not forget all of 2009 -- House Democrats refusing to
allow any floor discussion whatsoever from the Republicans on any piece
of legislation for the entire stinking year. and now? They whin as
if they would not have done the very same thing! Incredible. We
know without doubt, that they would have.
Point Three
Understand that the Democrat Party is not a
populace party. . . . . .
Continue reading here . . . . . .
Rather, it is a conglomerate of special
interest groups including the Black Caucus (90% of voting Blacks vote
"Democrat" in every election, no matter who is running for
office) , gays, most environment groups, Hollywood, the major
network media, the print media, much of academia, the
anti-war crowd, the entitlement population, 90% of all trial
lawyers and Wall Street (70% of the Wall Street funding went to the Obama
campaign in 2008). The Republican Party? Well, you tell me.
What is left. What is not mentioned in the above? The working
middle class of this nation and a big chunk of the small business
community.
Obama has "leaked" information that
tells us he intends to ignore the working white man, this year. He
does not think they deserve representation, apparently. And,
he certainly believes there are not enough of these types to make a
difference in the coming election.
It is the NY
Times that gives us this
us this racist election strategy:
For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and
increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic
operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the
party will explicitly abandon the white working class.
All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white
working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a
center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead
on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers,
editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers,
teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of
lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.
