So, the Senate is taking up the issue of paying a death gratuity to Sen. Frank Lautenburg’s widow tonight. They are making it a priority to give this widow worth $50 million almost $200,000 for her grief. Last week, we needed Fisher House to make funds available for the families of fallen warriors to meet their bodies and bury their heros. This evening, we have time in this shutdown/debt ceiling crisis to give some shopping money to a millionaire widow. What kind of priorities does the Senate have?

Democrats Shut Down Government
Posted by madjillmom on October 1, 2013
The Dems in the Senate shut down Government. They did not negotiate with the Republicans. Obama and Reid say this “Do it our way and then we will talk.” The House sent over several options to keep the bloated government funded and the Dems turned it down every time. All sorts of compromise on the Republican side, none on the side of Dems. This “my way or the highway” mentality of the Dems is standard in the age of Obama. Obama doesn’t know what compromise is. The only way he can govern is by fiat and partisan bills like the Stimulus and Obamacare.
The Republicans will give in. Obama and the Dems will not talk to them or listen to them or compromise with them now or ever. The MSM has their backs. A shutdown hurts the Republicans, so the Dems did it.
Obama “red lines” only work on Republicans, not Putin, not Assad, not Iran, just the Republicans.

Obamacare and Planned Parenthood
Posted by madjillmom on April 8, 2011
Harry Reid is on the Senate floor trying to whip up support for Planned Parenthood. Evidently he is greatly concerned that his granddaughters have access to planned parenthood. Evidently, Harry doesn’t have enough money to loan to his granddaughters to get a pap smear. How sad. Is Planned Parenthood so important that it can stop an agreement to not shut down the government?
Doesn’t Obamacare cover most of those without insurance? If Obamacare is the law of the land, then why do we need to use taxpayer money to fund parts of Planned Parenthood? Won’t Planned Parenthood get their money from Obamacare insurance coverage?
