My Way News - Some Senate Democrats shun huge spending bill

My Way News - Some Senate Democrats shun huge spending bill: "A few Democrats are voicing opposition to the bill, however, unhappy with its cost and changes to U.S. policy toward Cuba.

Most significantly, Democrats Evan Bayh of Indiana and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin announced Wednesday that they will vote against the bill. Both urged Obama to veto it.

'There's just a disconnect between what people are having to go through in their daily lives - tightening their belts, economizing where they can - and what they see the government is doing,' Bayh said in an interview. 'I just think it's tone deaf and, substantively, we do need to get the deficit under control.'

Democratic leaders scrambled to hold onto other Democrats, even as some GOP leaders conceded the bill is going to pick up GOP votes that would prove critical to its passage.

'I just don't know whether we have enough votes to stop it,' said Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., the No. 3 GOP leader in the Senate."


Unfortunately people would not listen when warned that all three branches of government being one party would lead to disaster. But here we are on the path to destruction and slipping over the precipice.
