Republicans: Schumer Broke His Word on Pompeo Confirmation
An inside look at the behind-the-scenes drama.

6:00 AM, Jan 23, 2017 | By Stephen F. Hayes

When President Donald Trump visited the CIA Saturday, he had hoped that CIA Director Mike Pompeo would accompany him. But when Trump arrived at the Langley, Virginia, headquarters of the Agency, he was instead accompanied by Congressman Mike Pompeo.

Representative Pompeo will almost certainly be confirmed as CIA Director on Monday. And the CIA will no doubt survive two days without its new leader. But the nastiness of the partisan sniping between top Republicans and Democrats that led to the delay may well have a lasting impact on the Senate - in this Congress and beyond.

Democrats are nothing more than vindictive liars! Every last one of them!

Edit to add: And there are many Republicans just like them!

My advice to Burr, Cotton, Trump and anyone else that isn't a flaming leftist Democrat.  Don't trust what the Democrats say at any time, any where, about any thing.  Their promises and 'deals' are as worthless as they are.  Always assume that they are lying through their teeth (since they are) and you will never go wrong.

Cornyn is surprised?

Lying for political effect has been a democrat tactic since the press started covering for them - meaning for decades.

Seems strange, you accusing Trump of such a thing.

  Schumer is just Harry Reid without the bum eye and a NY accent.
  Mitch is still overmatched and overwhelmed.

Heh heh, I intentionally made it ambiguous there.  Yes, you could interpret that statement two ways.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

This is good.  Schumer's actions give some cover to GOP Senators who may be looking at playing more hardball in the Senate.

"Schumer Broke His Word on Pompeo Confirmation"

A "democrat's word" and $2.01 will buy you coffee at the local Dunkin' Donuts (with the senior discount thrown in).

This is something Congressional Republicans must learn, if they hope to govern effectively.
