Senate approves fast-track, sending trade bill to White House. Boehner and McConnell are done bending over for the day. Guess their lord and master Obama couldn’t wait until Thursday.

There may be a simple explanation for this Ooama+GOP Leadership coalition. It is possible the GOP leadership made a deal with Obama in 2010 to work together to get rid of the Tea Party. If you recall at the time a lot of Tea Party folks challenged establishment GOP candidates in primaries and won. They were a rising power. The GOP establishment and consultants were really pissed off, whining that these poor candidates (ones not picked by geniuses like them) cannot win. To make sure of that, the GOP refused to back these candidates as they normally would, and many of them ended up losing.
But as this Tea Party was really looking like a long term threat to the GOP, and to the democrats too. I believe the GOP leaderhip formed a pact with Obama and the democrats (let's call it the GOPO pact) to use the IRS to go after these candidates and groups to make sure this threat was snuffed out. If you recall, one of the Tea Party senate candidates in Delaware, O'Donnell, had her private tax records opened and this was used to trash her candidacy.
To this day the current GOP leadership give Obama a pass on the IRS harassmant of Tea Party groups. Sure there are hearings for the cameras, but has any substantative action on this harassment been made? Anyone held accountable? If the GOP were in on the scam, they certainly would have incentive to soft pedel any criticism and make this just go away.
People who win with Tea Party or conservative endorsements are ostrasized by the GOP leadership. Boehner and his clan are actively doing this as I write in the HOR. McConnell is the same in the senate. The only thing that seems to anger these GOP leaders is a conservative or Tea Party person bucking one of their grand graft inititaves.
It is a simple way to explain why the GOP act the same as Obama and the democrats - they ARE the same. Cooperating in private and in public acting as if they are adversaries. To Obama and the GOP leadership, voters wanting to dictate to THEM, to hold THEM accountable, are the real enemy.
Its the fast track to destroying the USA and nothing else. Droopy eyes and cry baby bohener only see what the short term gains will be. Not the long term effects.
These two ass clowns are nothing but little dip shits nothing more. After today, they were able to get up off their knees in front of quagmire.
Wonder what Obama had on them from the NSA?
I'd like to hear what goes on when they meet Obama in the Oval Office. He must either have something good on them or he's offering them something good. Or they could actually be that effing stupid.
All of the above.
Oh, how I wish we had been successful at primarying Boehner and McConnell.
Stick a fork in this country, we're done.
