So Harry Reid trusts the DINOS in a full floor vote on the Ryan Budget? OMG!!
Don't forget the vote on the JOBS BILL....four senate democrats voted AGAINST the jobs bill...to change the tax code and bring our jobs back from overseas...Ben Nelson, Mark Warner!, and I forget the other two off the top of my head. I don't trust Ben Nelson in a full vote, and Reid says it's to show who hates medicare and soc. sec., We could lose everything by allowing the dems that we know are not loyal to vote.

Reid says they'll be voted out of office if they privatize either program. Will they?

Last time I looked so many states had electronic voting machines along with weak audit laws.

We'll lose what's left forever...

The senate is not using their power right now to protect us, instead feels it's more important to point out who the klowns are. I'm worried.

1. Have some smelling salts or huff in a paper bag.
It's smart politics to get the Republicans on record. Have no fear, Republicans will filibuster the vote. Last thing these gutless wonders want is a hi-profile vote on this issue.

5. It matters even less than you say. Budget resolutions are non-binding
They don't even go to the president. Just a framework.

So even if it did pass, which it won't, it wouldn't really matter.

3. In this case yes I do
In the House not one Democrat voted for it. And we are talking about people like Mike Ross, Dan Boren, Mike McIntyre, and Heath Shuler here.

6. So do I. The republican Collins has backed away from the bill.
60 votes are needed to pass the bill. 60 votes won't happen.

9. Even the Republicans have seen how toxic Ryan's ideas are with the public.
Please, let's just have the guts to realize we have a winning issue and run with it. Let's avoid a repeat of that disastrous punt made on the 2010 tax cut extension.
