BOHICA BABY HERE IT COMES!
“mostly a face-saving maneuver”
The temporary 2 month bill is paid for entirely by increasing government revenue. No spending cuts.
Yeah, you can’t more “face saving” than that for RINOs...
The president and the senate want to get those mortgage fees into law.
How about we pay for a two month extension with a cut to a bureau or agency instead of screwing the people!
Boehner already said no. The latest rumor is a 90 day extension.
Why is it that, whenever I see the word “deal” in the same phrase/clause/sentence as any activity of the federal government, I feel as if cold, wet sea-weed were trailing down my back?
Why not do the one year deal right now? The Senate will pass it.
“The Republicans usually do as they’re told.”
“I won.”
“Sit in the back of the bus.”
WHAT DO THEY HAVE ON YOU, McCONNELL, CORNYN, McCAIN, GRAHAM, BOEHNER? Do you think we do not know you are turncoats? They are traitors. YOU are running away.
Romney—Run away.
Amazing that these people want us on our knees and call themselves Americans.
what a load of coal/crap. Now, I just saw someone posing a 3 month extension. Enough already.
The House needs hold tight for another few weeks ... let those unemployment checks run out in January, then Harry and the RATs from CA will be begging for a deal ...
Bonehead, you control the House, Go home and spend the Holidays pointing at the Rats for refusing a one year deal.
No compromise!!
My original prediction was that Boehner will cave and pass this extension with Pelosi votes. Now with the Senate passing a ‘bi-partision’ bill which Boehner appeared to have signed onto at the time the handwriting is on the wall for another 'cave' after a symbolic stand against it. Like this article says, it's a face-saving scam ‘deal’ for House Republicans to swallow what they said they wouldnt.
If nothing else House Republicans should a demand a fix to the part of the bill that causes the tax collection problems in two months or they will be helping Obama lay yet ANOTHER trap for themselves. The last congress helping pass the FICA/SS cut a year ago is what set this trap that Republicans appear NOT to be able to get out of.
AF One is warming up on the tarmac..Hawaii,the One is on his way
Herman, Ed Henry’s kicking my ass.
We, the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY, are not concerned about the damned MSM’s Court of Public Opinion, or “saving face” for any politician or political party. We are concerned about saving the Nation!
Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory, Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell!!!!!!!!
Your stupid cave-in to “Bottleneck” Reid insures that small businesses will have to calculate 2/3 of a payroll tax check since payroll taxes are paid on a quarterly basis, and no Government forms now exist for that type of payment.
In other words, “Bottleneck” Reid outsmarted you AGAIN by getting you to agree to the most expensive, and most unworkable “deal” possible, and then conning you into accusing Boehner of a financial mess that YOU helped create.
Do you Mitch, even recognize that you are so gullible, that you need to get out of politics NOW, and get a real job? Maybe selling used cars?
Because you have now joined Senator Reid’s Socialist-Democrat Party, do you feel proud of the fact that you have sabotaged your former Republicans in the House of Representatives? From now on we should refer to you as “Turncoat” Mitch McConnell, the sorry Senator from Tennessee who can always be counted on to betray his former Republicans.
Since you, Mitch, refuse to accept responsibility for your destructive actions, it would be best if you would immediately resign as Minority Leader of the US Senate.
BTW, when you call upon a Republican to “give in,” we see you for the Socialist-Democrat coward that you really are.
That will go as well as the supercommittee on the deficit.
If Boehner is as smart/astute as he should be he will publicize any such give-in very widely to expose any probable Democrat flip-flopping.
