Last night at 11 p.m. Central, the House of Representatives passed the bill calling for the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts which would keep in place the tax cuts for families at every income level, renew jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed for 13 months, and enact a new one-year cut in Social Security taxes that would benefit nearly every worker who earns a wage.

An attempt by some of the Democrats to pass a higher Estate Tax went all for naught. The vote was 277-148, with each party contributing an almost identical number of votes in favor (the Democrats, 139 and the Republicans, 138).

However, some of the Dems were still whining, like outgoing House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.):

There probably is nobody on this floor who likes this bill. The judgment is, is it better than doing nothing? Some of the business groups believe it will help. I hope they’re right.

Crybaby.

Some more good news this morning, is that Dinghy Harry Reid has given up on Porkulus II – The Omnibus Bill, a 1,924-page monstrosity saturated with homestate earmarks. Dinghy Harry and the Dems scrapped the $1.3 trillion bill Republicans who had been considering  jumping on the gravy train, thought better of it.

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell led the charge against the pork-laden bill, saying that it was “unbelievable” that the Dems would try to muscle through something like this in just a few days legislation that usually takes months to debate.

Not unbelievable at all, Mitch.

Instead, McConnell has offered a one-page bill to prevent a government shutdown on Saturday.

According to the Senate Minority Leader, Congress should wait and pass a less costly bill next year, after the Republicans elected during the Midterm Elections take their seats.

Dinghy Harry says that he will work with McConnell on McConnell’s proposed continuing resolution. 

The one page resolution would fund the government until February 18th, 2011.

Give yourselves a round of applause,  Americans.  You caused this!

And the good news just keeps on coming…

A mere 35 percent of American voters think that President Barack Hussein Obama (peace be upon him) Obama deserves to be re-elected. 53 percent of Americans believe that the country would be better off with someone else besides ol’ Scooter at the helm of the Ship of State.

67 percent of Dems want Obama to have a 2nd term. (God forbid.)  84 percent of Republicans and 50 percent of Independents want him to be one and done.

Surprisingly, 20 percent of his own political party think America would be better off with someone else besides Scooter as president.

Only 29 percent of voters think that Obama will be re-elected. This is down from 44 percent who thought that he would be, just a year ago. 64 percent don’t think Obama will win another term.  That’s an increase from 46 percent in December 2009.

Only 40 percent of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing.  51 percent of us think he stinks on ice.

By the way, only 75 percent of Dems still approve of Obama, while only 70 person of Americans who identify themselves as Liberal, approve of him.

These new ratings are Obama’s lowest ever in a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics Poll.

Evidently. in the case of President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm), familiarity breeds contempt.

The 2010 election was held on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010. After sweeping victories, Republicans will control 243 seats in the House of Representatives in the 112th Congress. In the Senate, the Democratic will barely retain their majority, 53-46.

The Democrats know this, all too well. Despite their public denials about what the outcome of the Midterms means, privately, they’re sweating worse than Kathy Griffin on a USO tour.

Their false bravado is turning out to be nothing but a bunch of hot air. (Not to be confused with my favorite Conservative website.) Their grand scheme for cramming a bunch of liberal, socialist, social-engineering, pork-laden, useless legislation that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not want, down our collective throats, is falling apart faster than a Charlie Sheen marriage.

You did it, Americans.  You are responsible.  The sleeping giant, also known as the average American, woke up and flexed his muscles.

Conservative Americans participating in the Tea Party movement, along with Americans speaking out at Townhalls, and on Conservative Talk Radio, led to a historic Midterm Election that has made this bunch of previously tone-deaf professional politicians up in the Beltway think twice before abusing the people than can fire them.

Last night, after The Omnibus Bill failed, the ol’ Maverick, Sen. John McCain (R – AZ) and the newest Senator Mark Kirk, the Republican who won Obama’s seat in Illinois, thanked the American people and had a little fun at the Dems’ expense:

The Republicans were true to their word, this time.  They stood against the earmark-laden bill.  They know, as well as the Dems, that the American people are fed up.  The results of the Midterm Elections and Congress’ 13 percent approval rate, as reported on gallup.com prove that. 

These public servants now understand that they serve at the whim of the American public.  And that’s a good thing.
