Why did the Democrats, who had overwhelming majorities in the Senate and Congress the last 4 years, and the Presidency the last two years, wait until scant weeks before the elected Republicans seize power to even raise the issue?
When they could have voted for it any time in the last 4 years.
Because in truth it wasn't a priority to the Democrats.
Because like their "Dream Act" latest version of amnesty for illegals, like their START treaty with the Russians, it wasn't a priority, and they're only raising it now to demonize the Republicans.
Anyone with eyes can see the obvious, that if the Dems really wanted these things to pass, they wouldn't include earmarks, wouldn't propose new spending with a lack of funding, and other rushed provisions they know are completely unacceptable to the Republicans, and guarantee the Republicans cannot support them.
Who's the bad guy?
The Republicans who won't vote for flawed legislation on its (lack of) merit?
Or the Democrats who calculated its failure before it was ever presented to the Republicans, and excluded Republicans from a part in writing the legislation, that would have allowed it to pass?
