They shouldn't. It was right to slap him down hard and unanimously. He deserved to look like an ass for that mockery of a budget he submitted.

So you agree that the Democrats should vote no based on the premise that it is their job to produce a budget so shouldn't pass the President's budget wholesale.
Are you assuming their no vote proves your opinion that the budget was bad?
Your logic seems horribly flawed and reliant on blatantly wrong assumptions. Explain yourself.

Obama included a bunch of stuff in the budget solely for the purpose of being able to later say he proposed those things and that they were shot down by the Republicans. It was pure political theater on his part.
The Republicans dealt with his shenanigans correctly and decisively forcing the Democrats in congress to join them in dropping the hammer on Obama.

Democrats voted "no" on the Obama Budget to reinforce the concept of separation of power.

So there is blanket agreement that they should vote no based on the need of Congress to do their job but when they actually vote no it is proof of all sorts of nonsense.
It is hilarious to watch you people try and form a logical argument. The issue at question is what conclusion can we draw from the no vote by Democrats.
Look at paul's stupid argument. He thinks this no vote is an indictment on everything in Obama's budget with the clear intent to assume that Obama can no longer campaign on the reforms he proposed because Democrats rejected those reforms too. This is a joke of an assumption and anyone that is not horribly ignorant and brain dead stupid can figure this out.
Name me a Congress that passed an executive budget without changes.

Political theater was answered with superior political theater.
The whole thing turned out exactly as it should have.

Name me a Congress that passed the executive budget without changes.
Name me a President who didn't produce a budget and put it before Congress.
There is the budget creation process and then there is pandering to paultards.

You're just mad that the Republicans played the political theater game better than the Democrats.
You're trying to argue that the Democrats were right and the Republicans were wrong but there's no such thing in the game of political theater. It's all just a matter of perception and the Republicans won.
Get over it.
