Senator for Life, Tom Carper Unintentionally Hilarious Again
Recently freed up from campaigning on behalf of Mary Landrieu by her predictable loss, Tom Carper had time to comment on the current lack of “reciprocity” gripping the congress, but was confident that in 2015 reciprocity and bipartisanship would reign resplendent.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Tom Carper has ended his improbable effort to pass a long-term transportation funding bill during this Congress’s lame-duck session.
The Delaware Democrat said Friday he will focus on passage of a bill during the next Congress. A conversation with House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio just before Thanksgiving dashed his hopes for quick action.
Carper said Boehner told him, “We’ve just got too little time and too much to do.”
“It’s not fair for me to ask Senate members to walk the plank and make tough votes when we know that the House isn’t even going to bring up that legislation,” Carper said. “We’ll have the first five months of next year to focus, to find consensus on transportation policy.“
What a dipshit.
As it turns out, McConnell’s take on the dawning of the golden age of RECIPROCITY in 2015 don’t really synch up with Carper’s:
Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, says he has every intention of voting to repeal Obamacare with a new GOP majority in January…
If only that dang old Keystone XL pipeline wasn’t screwing everything up.

I’m anticipating his declaration that we have achieved peace with the GOP in our time.
Carper the corporate puppet has four pensions off the people of Delaware. They are as follows: State Treasurer
Governor
Congressman
U S Senator
That’s pretty sweet for a guy that puts corporations, big banks, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and other financial institutions first and people last. Although he believes like the U. S. Supreme Court that corporations are people too with ca$h.
