GOP Gives Reid What he Wants, Challenges Freedom of Speech, Now He's Mad?

By Elizabeth Nelson

Senator Ted Cruz tried to warn all of us, earlier this year, that the Senate Democrats were trying to change the Constitution and restrict our freedom of speech, because spending is speech, but no one would listen to him, because he is Ted Cruz and he's a Republican.  Well guess what, the "obstructing GOP" has given the Senate what they wanted, to chance to, in their feeble minds, "restore responsible spending (because this won't change contributions) limits," and "overturn Citizens United." 

You see, the Citizens United decision had nothing to do with "contributions" to the candidate, as Harry Reid went on attacking the "evil Koch Brothers," because the Supreme Court decision never changed "contributions," it only said the spending on ads was "unlimited," not how much one could contribute to the Candidate's campaign, for their expenses. 

Isn't it strangely ironic how Unions gave to the Democrats and outspent the Koch brothers 15 times over, yet there's no outrage and there's not even a "smiden of evil" attached to their character or name?  And the Koch brothers have even given to the Democrats who "hate" them but love their money, yet this is all about them, and stopping their giving.

Like I said, Ted Cruz tried to warn everyone that this was coming and 41 Democrats signed on to this bill, but none of you wouldn't listen, even you, you mindless, cantankerous, tales-from-the-crypt old fart, but now this is the GOP's fault, because they gave you what you wanted?

After all his complaints about Republican obstruction this year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed frustration last night after Republicans helped guarantee a floor vote on a measure he supports.

The Nevada Democrat has accused Senate Republicans of chicanery for voting to advance to the Senate floor a Democratic constitutional amendment allowing Congress to regulate all campaign speech and spending.

After Monday's bipartisan 79-18 vote, Reid vented to reporters that Republicans were trying to "stall" the Senate, indicating that he never intended for the campaign finance amendment by Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., to go to a real floor debate. Read more Washington Examiner

Yes, now Harry Reid is ticked that the bill he supports will actually see the light of day on his Senate floor and will actually have to be voted on, because now it will go on record, for the entire world to see, exactly what he and his Senators believe about our  First Amendment right, because spending is speech.

However, we all know how this will eventually play out, it will be the Republican's fault for "not stopping it," even though "41 Democrats were signed on to the bill" in affirmation of it.  Oh, we all know that won't matter, that part will be rewritten history, just like Obamacare, where "not one Republican signed in the affirmative" yet somehow, that's our fault too.
