According to a Senator who is old enough to know better, but clearly too old to be trusted, the American people simply do not give a damn about "tiny, Porky Amendments."
The culprit in question is New York's continuing national embarrassment, the fuzzy-headed Charles Schumer, one of many bleeding head Marxists now disgracing the U.S. Senate.
Schumer was referring to the ghastly trillion-dollar Care package that liberals in the White House and Congress are conspiring to make into law, courtesy of the American taxpayer.
Officially known as the Economic Stimulus Bill, the Porker of all Pork is more correctly known among the Chattering Class as the DNC Recovery Act of 2009.
It should be noted that a similar package is NOT under consideration for the RNC, because the Fairness Doctrine is not yet in place!
As reported, in part, at Sleuth.com:
"Sen. Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) comments on the Senate floor a little while ago seemingly in defense of "tiny...porky amendments" in the economic stimulus bill took Republicans aback.
"Schumer said, "And let me say this to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little, tiny - yes - porky amendments: the American people really don't care."
Tell that to GOP and centrist senators. They protested the bill's $400 million for STD/HIV prevention, $75 million for anti-smoking programs and $50 million for the arts, among other provisions."
Schumer's gushing denial overlooks an inconvenient truth:
Two hundred and twenty four Republican members of Congress (178 in the U.S. House and 37 U.S. Senators) voted with the Chattering Class and against the DNC Recovery Act of 2009.
All were elected by "Americans" who DO give a damn about a trillion dollars being lifted from taxpayer's wallets in order to fund liberal causes that this nation neither needs nor wants.
The honorable Republicans were joined by eleven insightful Democrats in the House.
Brace yourself, Senator Schumer.
The Chattering Class is here to stay. We will NOT be silenced!
