Freshmen GOP lawmakers continued their protest of Harry Reid on the Senate steps Friday, attempting to put pressure on the Senate to pass a continuing resolution that cuts spending for the rest of the year, a strategy endorsed by Speaker of the House John Boehner.He's from Georgia. Now there's a surprise.
The pressure campaign coincides with a standoff between Senate Democrats who say an agreement on a budget-cut target of about $30 billion has been reached with Boehner, and Boehner who says there’s no deal.
Two Republican upperclassmen joined the handful of freshmen at the protest, Reps. Mike Pence of Indiana, and Paul Broun of Georgia.
Broun said that he believed “Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama orchestrated and planned to shut down the federal government” in order to “be reelected and put back in power, and enact their socialistic big government policy that you’ve seen through the first two years of the Obama administration.” Broun then said he wouldn’t vote for anything less than 61 billion in spending cuts.
