So ignore "alleged" hypocrisy of Newt, Rush and Sarah and take a shot at illegal immigration, tax policy, ObamaCare and big corporations vs. family businesses. Seems you skipped right over those in your rush to defend Rush.
With control of both houses of Congress, explain why there isn't a trash can full of vetoed Republican passed bills next to Obama's desk.
What hypocrisy are you speaking of, specifically? I have never denied hypocrisy exists, but have pointed out, along with the Tomato, that Rush has been falsely accused a number of times. For instance, Rush weekly takes on the Chamber of Commerce and the Republican establishment over immigration (exploiting cheap labor) and corporate welfare.
And, if you'd watched yesterday's news, you would have seen that the democrats in the senate blocked a bill to defund Planned parenthood...the senate rules required 60 votes to send it to the president...something which frustrates the Republican base to no end.
Where are you getting 60 votes to pass a bill? The Senate needs 60 for veto but a majority to pass a bill.
Its 2/3rds for a veto override. 60 votes is the votes needed to progress a bill past procedural hurdles.
Take the vote to get everyone on record. Pass or fail you know where everyone stands.
