It's a perfect example of liberal thinking - buy gifts (and votes)... WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY! With that in tow, from The Daily Caller: GOP aims to gut Christmas, White House alleges
House Speaker and national grinch John Boehner is planning to spoil Christmas, White House officials are claiming, as they try to head off passage of Boehner’s two-stage debt ceiling bill.Drudge however has a flashback to 2009: FLASHBACK: Dems pass health care reform on Christmas Eve... That's right - they rammed it through on Christmas Eve - the greatest theft of liberty yet.
“Happy Holidays America: Boehner plan would have the debt ceiling all over again during the holiday season, which is critical for the economy,” White House deputy spokesman Dan Pfeiffer declared today at 9.50 a.m.
White House political adviser David Plouffe made the same claim about Christmas almost one hour earlier when MSNBC’s Chuck Todd quizzed him about the White House’s opposition to Boehner’s two-stage debt ceiling proposal.
In a Christmas Eve vote for the history books, the Senate early Thursday passed health care reform legislation along strictly party lines, putting President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority on a path toward passage in the New Year.Funny how the same liberals that want to ban Christmas and any mention of God and Jesus invoke Christmas in their weak defense of spending beyond their means using our money, not theirs.
Senators filed into the Capitol before dawn after 25 consecutive days of debate that ended on the same bitterly divided tone that dominated the discussion as the final votes neared.
