“His proposal, which he referred to as a “last-choice option,” would give President Barack Obama new power to raise the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt ceiling without corresponding spending cuts.”

With Republicans like that who needs Democrats.

Wonder if today is the day that Rush finally tells us it is time to PANIC! If not I am sure it is coming soon.

“Harry Reid commends Mitch McConnell’s debt plan”

Which tells you what a disaster his plan really is.

Last choice option my a**. Obama will just cease to negotiate because he knows he has a lucrative power grab at his disposal.

My question is... doesn’t the McConnell surrender have to be voted on?

I would like to see this "plan" in writing... not the videos talking about it, but ink on paper (so to speak).

Anyone here seen it linked anywhere?

If the Republicans cave on this it will be the end of the Republican Party. The historic level of win in 2010 was because of the out of control government expansion by Obama-Pelosi-Reid. If the response is to give Obama carte blanche on spending then the Republicans may be around for the next election cycle or two but after that will be as numerous on the ballot as the Whigs.

Harry POS Reid alert!

FUMM

STOP SPENDING! DEFUND all socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. Give “free” citizens back the $ they were forced to put into these socialist programs and SHUT THEM DOWN.

Legislatures (state and federal) can be part-time jobs with 1/10th pay, NO retirement, NO perks, NO insurance. Get a job. Pay for your own crap, you POS politicians.

“...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...”

ALTER it.

Well that does it for me. If Harry Reid likes the plan, I’m all in. It must be good if it got Reid’s endorsement, right?

Right?

McConnell is getting the Bush Sr. “rope adope” and soon may saying “read my lips no new taxes”..
Until the democrats raised them anyway like they did to Bush Sr..

Bush Jr. had another gambit.. he lowered taxes(thru conserv’s a bone) then created a whole government bureaucracy.. which raised taxes in the following year..

OH!... and prepared the way for Zero’s Presidency.. made republicans look like smucks..

I wonder if McConnell is a smuck!... and will be getting circumsized..

Well, to that proverbial choir I say ... is there ANY doubt that we must rid ourselves of FINOs and ensure that we don’t nominate one (Romney) in 2012?

He wants to give Obama unfettered power to raise the debt ceiling and some people actually think that’s a master stroke???? I say drug test those people that think that.
