Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s surprise decision to allow a Democratic tax bill to pass the upper chamber fits his political strategy of keeping the Senate GOP out of the spotlight.McConnell (Ky.) decided to drop the customary 60-vote threshold for major legislation after discussing tactics for days with GOP colleagues and alerting conservative groups that might have otherwise panned the move.A GOP leadership aide said the vote takes attention off the Senate GOP.McConnell has told colleagues during private meetings this year that Senate Republicans should not make themselves the focus of partisan battles.He did so despite voting against all three bills.
they do it then under their real intent they squash it. they are again trying to fool "we the people", twice, shame on us. they are going to underestimate the ripple this will cause in their plan to steal our election. if they have promise's to vote in their favor so as to deny dems that 60 vote, has worked too good for them lately, but understandable they don't learn from their mistakes, with the exception of knowing they can't beat the Pres. so they'll have to commit their old staple "LARCENY". http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/larceny
it really seems they are trying to lose, and start over in '16.
