Republican Leadership Unveils Exciting Agenda to Move US Forward:"Complete Gridlock"

Hidden Under Tax-Exempt Cloak, Political Dollars Flow

With every election cycle comes a shadow army of benignly titled nonprofit groups like Americans for Job Security, devoted to politically charged “issue advocacy,” much of it negative. But they are now being heard as never before — in this year of midterm discontent, Tea Party ferment and the first test of the Supreme Court decision allowing unlimited, and often anonymous, corporate political spending. Already they have spent more than $100 million — mostly for Republicans and more than twice as much as at this point four years ago.

DeMint KICKS IT UP A NOTCH!!!

Jim DeMint Plans To Grind Senate To A Halt

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) is telling members that he plans to grind the already lethargic Senate to a complete halt at the end of the day.

DeMint's staff informed all Senate offices yesterday that he plans to hold all legislation that hasn't been "hot lined" by the end of business on Tuesday, forcing each piece of legislation the Democrats hope to address before the election to overcome days' worth of procedural obstacles.

"The Executive Committee of the Senate Steering Committee has asked the Steering Committee staff to hold all bills that have not been hotlined by close of business Tuesday," his chief of staff wrote. "If there are any bills you would like cleared before we go out, please get them to the Steering Committee staff along with a CBO score, if applicable, by close-of-business on Tuesday."
