Democratic senator: GOP a ‘cult’ with slavish commitment to protecting fat cats

[DearAbby]

Democratic senators on Wednesday said that the Republican Cut, Cap and Balance Act isn’t going anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin lamented that the act, approved by the House Tuesday, was an example of how “America no longer has a two-party system.”

“One of our two parties has morphed into kind of a cult driven by a singular fixation and obsession: preserving tax breaks for the wealthy at all costs,” Harkin said, according to The Huffington Post.

“Once again the radical right is more worried about protecting their next election than protecting the greatest generation or the next generation,” Maryland Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski added. “What a sham, what a scam. I’d be tempted to blow it off if it weren’t so cruel, stupid and dangerous.” (White House on Cut, Cap, Balance Act: It’s Ryan on steroids)

4. And a particularly malevolently depraved brand of Fascism at that

:patriot:

[gratuitous]

3. Now how bipartisan is that?

Shame, shame, shame! I'm glad we can count on the bulldogs of the Fourth Estate to get after Sens. Harkin and Mikulski for their highly unsensible comments. If they don't publicly repent, they risk being branded as Not Serious About Deficit Reduction. Is that what they want? Because by the Christ, that's what they'll get!

all the time.

7. I'll go along with that.

They haven't acted like dignifed ladies and gentlemen who are concerned about our country
and our people for years. So it's only right that they should be treated accordingly.

8. Protecting the fat cats is the third rail now-not SS and Medicare

Shameful coming from Repubs and despicable coming from Democrats
