by Tony Perkins, Washington Update: If the polls are any indication, congressional Liberals might be joining the Ailao Spiny Toad and the Three-toed Jacamar on the endangered species list. The reason Liberals find themselves in this position is the radical votes they cast on everything from wasteful spending on stimulus bills to the pro-abortion health care law they passed last spring. The thing is, due to infighting and near solid Republican opposition to their plans, President Obama and his party leaders in Congress haven't been able to complete their whole radical agenda, despite holding solid majorities in both chambers.Now that those Democratic majorities are on the brink of disappearing, the Democratic Leadership is talking of finishing their agenda in a lame-duck session after projected losses in the November elections and prior to the new Congress being sworn in. The Hill newspaper even obtained a memo from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) which sets a lame-duck schedule that would begin the week of November 15th and then continue after the lame ducks take a break to have their Thanksgiving turkeys.
Senator Reid, perhaps the lamest duck of them all, has announced he will push tax laden energy legislation after the elections. In the last few weeks there has also been talk of using the lame-duck to pass legislation that would force the military to allow open homosexuality and to remove current protections against unethical human embryonic experimentation.
To make sure any lame-duck session joins the endangered species list, please sign our [the FRC] petition.
