Amazing is it not? I wonder if this will shake some of our local conservatives out of their trance?
the deal has not yet been published.
i’m going to reserve any comment when it is and iin the meantime i’m not going to bash Boehner- I’ll bash Harry Reid whose voice sounds like his testicles never descended.
NO, this is inevitable because Republican primary voters won’t retire worthless incumbents. Watch them renominate Hatch and Lugar in 2012, as they also resurrect Mittens.
The biggest fight is ahead and it will be a long fight, well beyond the 2012 budget. It is not realistic to expect the ship to do a 180 degree turn when the US has become drunk on spending far beyond our means. Long, Long fight. Even the $61 Billion cut all true conservatives saw as a minimum, is chump change in the total picture of what needs to follow. The Dims and Barry swore the Senate would never let a vote come to the floor on Obummer Care or the Abortionist funding. It looks like both of these will go to a vote. Undoubtedly the dims will vote it down. Not surprising but individuals go on permanent record where they voted. Some may argue that has little value heading into the 2012 voting cycle; I believe it is of great value as tangible fodder for the long, long fight. $61 Billion minimum- yep that is what I believed but Boehner got $39. When is the last time a $39 billion or greater cut in the budget has happened in Congress? We have trillions to go so I hope conservatives do not confuse this skirmish as the definitive battle in this long, long fight. Only after the November 2012 elections might we start the real offensive. Until then, we have got to pick them off as we can. More guerrilla warfare and positioning than all-out offensive. Plenty of reasonable conservatives may disagree with me. Okay, but in any case are we in this for the long fight?
