the last thing the democrats need now is to show the insiders game of politics and how they completely ignore what the peel of america would like to have. which is vote on the defense appropriation bill. leave these other things separate. vote on them if you like but don t attach to the appropriations bill. it is as if nancy pelosi, harry reid and barack obama cannot help them services. they are so addicted to the insider s game they are oblivious to the red hot anger people are feeling the kind of anger that sent a lot of incumbents home and will send some more. greta: the american people just want decisions and promises kept. when they see washington gaming it, no matter what the topic is, i think it fuels the outrage among other people. it is they feel so gamed. they truly do. many of them don t have jobs. those who have jobs have watched their 401 become a 201. they are frustrated with the fact now they are going to work not until 60 two, 62,
these people are worth negotiating with. they re reasonable. they can come around. if senator reid will just budge a little bit and come to an agreement on a reasonable way to proceed, we could potentially get the votes. so far he s not been willing to do that. now let s bring in nationally syndicated radio talk show host michael smerconish. we thought we would see this vote at 2:30. we understand it s been pushed back to 3:30. luke russert believes there may be a deal in the works here. what do you make of what s going on hat this point in the debate? let me piggy back on something you heard from both alex and luke that i ll put my spin on. i don t like the fact that an important vote like this is tacked onto a defense appropriation bill of $726 billion. and then it breaks down on this parliamentary procedure because that gives cover to those soon
