The GOP backstabbers Boehner and Brown, and the rest, sold out America.
For the last time. NEVER will the GOP be trusted again.

Do you remember where America was just one year ago?
The Pelosi-Reid-Obama agenda was doing a daily dose of damage to our American economy, destroying jobs with crippling regulations, oppressive spending and brand new taxes.
If that wasn't enough, the Democrats passed a government takeover of healthcare, spending record amounts of money we didn't have on a program we didn't want.
And to top it off, they raised taxes on hardworking taxpayers to pay for an $800 billion dollar stimulus -- claiming that they should have spent even more.
Maybe they thought they could get away with it. For two years, they did.
But on Election Day 2010, you stood up -- millions strong -- and said enough is enough.
You -- and millions of other Americans like you -- held them accountable. The Tea Party and millions of Conservatives led the charge from all 50 states right into the heart of Washington.
You didn't just change the debate in Washington. You changed the results. Today's passage of the Budget Control Act shows the impact you've already had... and how important it is to keep the pressure on Washington for the next 15 months.
Without you, Nancy Pelosi would still be Speaker Pelosi. She would have delivered President Obama exactly what he demanded: a blank check for unlimited spending, new taxes on American families, new regulations on job creators, and a debt ceiling increase with no strings attached.
Make no mistake: President Obama wanted hardworking American taxpayers to bail him out once again. He wanted YOU to pay for his failed stimulus and Obamacare, borrowing more money on your back to pay for them. He wanted you to sacrifice so that Washington wouldn't have to.
But because you kept the heat on Washington, Republicans in the House and Senate had the backup they needed to stand up and say NO to the Obama Tax & Borrow Bailout.
While the Budget Control Act is far from perfect, it is a step forward. The bottom line is that until we vote President Obama and his Democratic allies in the Senate out of power, we won't be able to truly change the culture in Washington and deliver the results Americans like you demand.
But think about how far we've come. Rather than trampling on the taxpayers, as the Democrats did when they controlled the House, this bill showed real respect to hardworking taxpayers. The legislation:
•Stopped ALL of the tax increases Obama, Reid, and Pelosi demanded;
•Forced the Senate to pass its first budget in two years, delivering Harry Reid a dose of accountability;
•Held every politician accountable to vote yes or no on a balanced budget amendment; and
•Protected the economy while demonstrating a commitment to reducing the debt.
This isn't the end of bringing spending discipline to Washington. It's just the beginning - and it wouldn't have happened without you.
Just yesterday, Joe Biden called the Tea Party "terrorists."
So today, I am writing to thank you for being a patriot. I have so much respect for you. I respect the work you do day by day, year by year, to defend freedom and promote opportunity. Your dedication to our cause is saving America.
Keep it up. Don't quiet down. Your voice cannot be ignored. Demand more from Washington. Demand more from those who represent you. At the RNC, we hear you - and we want to amplify your voice in Washington.
Over the next 15 months, all conservatives need to come together and focus on the only way to really fix what's wrong with Washington: voting Obama out of office and taking back the Senate. We are ready for battle. Are you?
Usually this is the part where we ask for money. Not today. In the last 24 hours you have given America something much more important than a donation. You have helped America take a step away from servitude and a step closer to freedom. We are proud of you. You are our heroes. You are true patriots.
You are Great Americans.
God bless you.
Sincerely,
Reince Priebus Chairman, Republican National Committee
Budget Control Act? Any R who voted for this needs to go.
Democrats got their 2.x TRILLION dollar debt limit increase and just left the US people holding the bag as there is literally no provision for paying for it.
B/S! They stopped nothing! They put borrowing and spending on steroids!!
Not a nickle to these idiots!! Send your donations directly to the campaigns of your tea party candidates!!
Can you edit the Heading to include a barf alert...
This was some of the deepest RINO dung I have had to be told to swallow because, “We did this”
sheesh
EL
YOU just abolished representative government!
They think we’re morons.
The GOP backstabbers Boehner and Brown, and the rest, sold out America.
For the last time. NEVER will the GOP be trusted again.
Not so fast, Reince. We don’t know how this deal will end up yet. The pressure must remain on. Specifically, the pressure must remain on YOU and the GOP elected representatives to KEEP voting for spending CUTS at every turn. And not BS spending cuts off some ever-increasing baseline or spending cuts for programs that are being phased out anyway (like war spending). REAL cuts. Send this email in about 10 years when the federal budget is $2.5 trillion dollars and we’ve paid down half the federal debt.
Bite me, RNC
(not you edpc)
LOL
To All My Conservative Friends on this Thread:
I was against this bill and said if it passes, it’s time to form the Tea Party of America or the Conservative Party of America. But, I watched MSNBC last night and the Liberals are so angry and outraged over this bill, it had to have done something right. John Conyers is even organizing a Protest against brotha Barack.
They haven’t cut anything! Other than our throats.

If anyone wants to know how bad a deal it was, just watch how fast Obie signs it.
It’s a lose-lose-lose situation. No winners here. Neither party. We’re all losers. Especially the formerly free American people. It’s a total capitulation of representative government. It’s an unconstitutional redistribution of federal power to the senate and the presidency. It’s taxation without representation!
History set the precedent. Rebellion must follow!
Vote the corrupt bastards OUT and tea party conservatives IN!!
“They think we’re morons.”
They’re right.
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — 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.
I have a lot of trouble taking anyone with the name Reince Priebus seriously. Sounds like a gay Smurf name.
