Some Conservatives are getting tired of RINO’s complaining they can’t cut more the six billion dollars at a time.
I guess they,the RINO’s must think we’re stupid.
20 years go, these guys may have had a case about cutting $6 billion in three weeks, but this is, unfortunately, the financial equivalent of the Japanese nuke reactors. Drastic, meaningful cuts of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS are needed, not “six billion.”
Moderate = RINO
This means he's not a good "leader". Period!
Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson said of the difficulty convincing hard-liners that the leadership is cutting large amounts of spending. “I mean, this is three weeks; we’re cutting $6 billion.
They don’t want it 3 weeks at a time, finish the CR for the year, get 61 Bil out and cut that 105 Bil in Obama Care. That is what the 2010 elections told you to do. Do it or quit.
Waaaaaa, mommie, I want the old job back where we were dignified and could spend and spend and spend, had infinite perks and could rule with an iron fist sichail...oh they are listening, they are too dumb to know...
What we want is folks who can see the problems we are in and be suicidal to their own positions if need be to move the country back to stable ground, and that means cutting like a maniac..sell off Washington, eliminate whole departments, we need to pass a law that prohibits the federal “g” from raising taxes or soliciting funds in any way to keep them honest, if we implement the fair tax, it should be a sate distribution, states should be required to have balanced budgets w/o the right to borrow anything, ever...so that budget would reflect money on solid ground and keep the government from robbing the people...It also should be illegal to bail out other states..this means fiscal house in order now and forever, the only acceptable solution..
Apparently not!
The feeling's mutual, has-beens.
the house has me TEAD off........what the heck?
If you drank a six pack a day that would be 2190 beers a year. Cutting 6 billion is like skipping 3/4 of one beer the entire year. If that much.
How the hell do these morons sleep at night? Seriously! This is criminal what they have done in Washington. Except the newcomers. They need to step up. As far as anyone that has been in the Congress or the presidency the last 100 years they are all to blame for the state we are in. As far as Obama goes he needs to be impeached and impeached today!
If Boehner can put down the crying towel long enough, there are more than an ample number of capable conservatives to whom he could turn over the gavel. Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachman would be just two of the better choices.
Gosh, I must have missed the Politico articles on the Democratic Party growing tired of the Left wing. Then I guess that would just be the Left wing and the Lefter wing.
Besides, when the Politico (and rest of the media) is the far Left wing of the Democrat Party, they aren’t going to point it out are they.
Give me a break. This amounts to less than 3% annualized. Anything less than 5% is ridiculous. If they were serious about it, 10% would be the goal. The entrenched Repulican veterans don't want to have to do any hard work. They are part of the ruling class and want the easy life.
Gee...Politico publishes a piece that highlights tension between GOP leadership and the Tea Party. I’m shocked.
Leadership is nuts. We want Government cut. Agencies eliminated etc. Not psychobabble about entitlements. We want the Feds to go away and leave us be. EPA..terminate. Education Dept....Terminate. Etc.
“What does the GOP stand for?”
Good question.
Being overly polite to Democrats who despise you, while trashing Conservatives who work tirelessly to try to save the country?
Actually, the deficit issue is real easy because we only control one House right now. If we just say "no," to anything but a bare-bones austerity budget, then the Senate and the POTUS will have to move right, similar to what happened to the extension of the Bush tax rates. The deficit issue becomes really tough when we contol both houses and the POTUS because every act or failure to act will be the GOP's responsibility.
