Waxman: These Republicans are like legislative terrorists, aren't they?

“They want to use legislation as a way to act like terrorists. They hold things as hostage,” Waxman said. “We almost couldn’t fund the government because Republicans wanted to hold that idea hostage, we almost couldn’t pay our debts because the Republicans wanted to hold that legislation hostage to their extreme agenda, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they scuttled this conference by trying to hold us hostage.”…

“That is so stupid already for them to be pushing the Keystone pipeline issue in this bill, in this conference,” Waxman said today, “Republicans have been so mean-spirited, and I think that’s coming across to the American people.”
