"At least Democrats will have eggnog to wash down the poison pills they swallowed on Thursday as the House narrowly passed a government funding bill that will let Congress go home early for Christmas, and give Wall Street a fresh gift.
The bill, which passed 219 to 206, will keep the government running until next September. But only 57 Democrats voted FOR the bill, and 67 Republicans broke ranks with their party to OPPOSE it."
"This is ransom, this is blackmail," Nancy Pelosi said. "We don't get a bill unless Wall Street gets its taxpayer-funded coverage."
"This is exquisitely reckless -- a special provision for Wall Street in exchange for money from Wall Street," Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) told HuffPost.
"Once again, here in the holiday season, it's all about stuffing the silk stocking," said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas).
The controversial provision lets taxpayer-insured banks conduct the sort of derivatives trading that Dodd-Frank barred them from engaging in after the 2008 financial meltdown. Compliance has repeatedly been delayed, however, and was not set to kick in until next summer. The other provision that sparked Democrats' ire was a change to campaign finance rules that lets wealthy donors dramatically boost contributions to party committees."
YES, 57 DEMOCRATS "CROSSED THE AISLE" TO MAKE SURE THE BIG CAMPAIGN DONORS FROM WALL STREET CAN TRADE IN DERIVATIVES AGAIN, SINKING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY FURTHER INTO RUIN. THEY TRADED THEIR OATHS OF OFFICE, THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO ALL OF US FOR A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, AND FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, THEY WILL DO SO EVERY TIME THEY ARE ASKED TO BY THOSE WHO CONTROL THEM AND OUR GOVERNMENT, THROUGH THEM!
THEY ALSO GAVE AWAY TRIBAL LANDS SACRED TO THE APACHE NATION (BECAUSE AN AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY WAS WILLING TO PAY THEM FOR IT, PAY THEM FOR "INDIAN" LAND!), OPENED PRISTINE WILDERNESS TO UNNECESSARY LOGGING, AND PORK BARREL FAVORITES THAT SHORE UP THEIR OWN STATES' SHAKY ECONOMY A TINY BIT WERE WELL-HIDDEN IN THE "MUST-PASS" SPENDING BILL TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT RUNNING.
THE TWO-FACED DEMOCRATS WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO AID AND ABET THE ELITIST-KISSING GOP BOYS TO SCREW AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS, HER NATIVE AMERICANS, ALL WHO WERE HOPING FOR SOME SIGN THAT THE 'LITTLE GUYS' WON'T BE STUCK WITH THE HUGE DEBT CREATED BY THIS WORTHLESS CONGRESS, WHO DID NOTHING OF CONSEQUENCE ALL THEIR TERMS IN POWER.
THE PRESENT CONGRESS BROKE ALL RECORDS FOR DOING NOTHING BUT ARGUE, DOING NOTHING TO FIX WHAT'S BROKEN HERE IN "AMERICA, A SUBSIDIARY OF WALL STREET".
WALL STREET SCORES, YOU LOSE AGAIN, "AVERAGE CITIZEN".
THEY DID NOTHING...UNTIL WALL STREET CRACKED THAT WHIP AND SAID "GIMME! GIMME! I WANT MY TOYS BACK!"
THEN, AND ONLY THEN DID CONGRESS WAKE UP AND MOVE LIKE LIGHTNING TO GIVE THEIR DONORS, OUR OWNERS, ANYTHING THEY ASKED!
WE, THE PEOPLE, HAVE BEEN ROBBED, SHAFTED, LIED TO, SACRIFICED YET AGAIN...AND THE FILTHY WHORES ON CAPITOL HILL ARE PATTING EACH OTHER ON THE BACK AND LAUGHING AT THE CONTINUED GULLIBILITY OF "AVERAGE JOE AND JANE", WHO JUST REFUSE TO BELIEVE THE RECORDED FACTS...CONGRESS TAKES MEGA-BILLIONS IN BRIBES THEY CALL "CAMPAIGN DONATIONS", AND GIVES US MEGA-TRILLIONS TO PAY FOR, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
NOW, WITH THE STENCH OF THE BROTHEL STILL ON THEM, THE HOUSE WILL GO OFF TO CASH THEIR CHECKS AND HAVE A "MERRY OLDE CHRISTMAS".
<KA-CHING, KA-CHING!>
BUT, NOTHING FOR YOU, AMERICANS, UNLESS YOU HAVE A STOCK PORTFOLIO.
AND WHO ALLOWS THEM TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR?
THE AMERICAN VOTERS.
AND OBAMA?
HE'S JUST AS HAPPY AS THE GOP MEMBERS OF CON-CON-CONGRESS.
"This is the kind of compromise that the president's been seeking from Republicans for years now," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in an appearance on MSNBC."
AND OLD JOHN "BONER"?
ROLLING STONE PROPERLY RE-NAMED HIM "THE CRYING SHAME"...
GOOD NAME, IT FITS!
R.S. WROTE!
"He's a lazy, double-talking shill for corporate interests.
The Democrats have plenty of creatures like Boehner. But in the new Speaker of the House, the Republicans own the perfect archetype — the quintessential example of the kind of glad-handing, double-talking, K Street toady who has dominated the politics of both parties for decades. In sports, we talk about athletes who are the "total package," and that term comes close to describing Boehner's talent for perpetuating our corrupt and debt-addled status quo: He's a five-tool insider who can lie, cheat, steal, play golf, change his mind on command and do anything else his lobbyist buddies and campaign contributors require of him to get the job done."

WELL AND HONESTLY SAID!
THE NEW YORK TIMES, IN 2010, BRANDED "BONER" AS:
A G.O.P. Leader Tightly Bound to Lobbyists
House Democrats were preparing late last year for the first floor vote on the financial regulatory overhaul when Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio and other Republican leaders summoned more than 100 industry lobbyists and conservative political activists to Capitol Hill for a private strategy session.
Mr. Boehner and his deputies told the Wall Street lobbyists and trade association leaders that by teaming up, they could still perhaps block its final passage or at least water it down.

House Democrats were preparing late last year for the first floor vote on the financial regulatory overhaul when Representative John A.

Mr. Boehner and his deputies told the Wall Street lobbyists and trade association leaders that by teaming up, they could still perhaps block its final passage or at least water it down.
“We need you to get out there and speak up against this,” Mr. Boehner said that December afternoon, according to three people familiar with his remarks, while also warning against cutting side deals with Democrats.
That sort of alliance is business as usual for Mr. Boehner.
He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R. J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.
They have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns, provided him with rides on their corporate jets, socialized with him at luxury golf resorts and waterfront bashes and are now leading fund-raising efforts for his Boehner for Speaker campaign, which is soliciting checks of up to $37,800 each, the maximum allowed."
HE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE, JUST THE MOST TEARFUL ONE.
YOU'VE BEEN SOLD-OUT AGAIN, AMERICA.
DON'T WHINE AND WHIMPER ABOUT IT...YOU VOTED, YOU ALLOWED THIS.
NOW, EAT IT AND SMILE.
FORK OVER THE NEW TAXES THAT WILL PAY FOR "BONER", ET AL, TO KEEP KISSING THE COLLECTIVE ASS OF THE VERY ELITE, THOSE WHO PAY THEM MORE THAN YOU DO.BOW BEFORE THEIR GREAT "god", WALL STREET.
SWALLOW THE POISON PILL!
