“It’s absurd for supermajority Democrats to blame a single Republican Senator for their ineffectiveness in passing legislation.

And what supermajority Democrats have done this week at the State Capitol is an unprecedented, disrespectful farce.

Supermajority Democrats:

• rammed through so-called ‘emergency’ bills that are clearly not actual emergencies and did it without public input
• exempted people who are incarcerated for domestic abuse from having to make child support payments
• handed out millions of taxpayer dollars in unvetted earmarks to favored groups.

Supermajority Democrats also voted against:

• cutting the income tax for working class families
• effectively eliminating the car tax
• eliminating the tax on social security
• eliminating the sales tax on back to school items
• reforming the corrupt earmark process

What supermajority Democrats did this week was shameful, sad, tone-deaf and wrong.

And now they threaten to ‘cut the cord’ on minority Republicans’ microphones?

What does the media think about that?”
