Not just no, but hell no.
McConnel, take your sorry ass back to Kentucky. The house, not the senate, not the president, the House has the Constitutional responsibility for all spending and taxes.
So not only FUBO, FUMM.
I agree.
My political gut told me Obama was a two-termer when he was first elected, and I take some modest pride in being correct around 90% of the time. As of late, however, I had to admit, there was no foreseeable possibility that Obama could be re-elected, so I was going to chalk it up to that 10% when my political instincts are incorrect.
Now, and I must emphasize, if this is true (and if goes anywhere), your analysis is absolutely correct. The GOP is finished, as the conservative base would very likely abandon it under this particular set of circumstances, and that clears the way for a third-party Presidential candidacy, which is just enough of Obama to squeak by to a second term.
On a personal note, I very much enjoy reading your posts.
The South will rise again. Yee Haw!
NB—you nailed it.
Obama wins.
The GOP is painted as losers—AGAIN.
The GOP splits—just when we need to unite to get rid of Obama.
Obama wins again in 2012.
And all Obama had to do was lie and threaten that the SS checks would not go out and the military won’t get paid.
Remember this date July 12, 2011—this is a watershed moment- the political class in DC has been completely unmasked—the two party cabal has spoken—and the looting of America will continue.
The Democrats area criminal enterprise, aided and abetted by the GOP.
But if we don't up the debt..Will or will not the debt rating change?
If the debt rating changes...lower. What happens? Is that bad for us now...but better down the road? Or is that horribly bad now...and crushes us?
Honestly I don't know.....
Obama was on the ropes. The GOP held all the cards. All they had to do was not compromise and they win in 2012.
It was that easy.
Obama had NOTHING but scare tactics.
Why does McConnell and the RINO’s throw in the towel? It’s because RINO’s are not on our side, they want to lose to the Democrats.
