Dark days for conservatives?
Erick Erickson says not since the passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug Act have things been so bad for conservatives in Congress:
Earlier this week, the House leadership killed Kevin Brady’s (R-TX) “Sunset” bill, which would have killed every federal agency in twelve years, unless Congress reauthorized them. A similar proposal from Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) was also pulled.
At the same time, conservatives are losing the battle on the minimum wage. While Dick Armey was Majority Leader the legislation never saw the light of day. And now, after just a few months of saying “no,” John Boehner is saying “bring it on,” waffling like John Kerry on the issue.
