Smells like victory

Harry Reid pulls $1.1 trillion spending bill from floor
The Appropriators Buckle
Brave Sir Harry Ran Away

The Pomeroy Amendment in the House that would have increased estate tax rates has also failed.

Game over. Democrat attempts to undo the results of the recent election have come to nothing.

The Tea Party movement is now a major force in US politics. My prediction is that the major fights going forward will be between the Tea Party people and the public employee unions on the spending front, and between the Tea Party people and unelected government bureaucrats/regulators on the power front. There will be blood. I like the Tea Party's eventual chances in those fights, both of which will be very, very tough.
