Boo Hoo and I are willing to kick the can down the road for another three months if the Rats will do their part by not breaking the law!

I sent my new Representative an email this morning. Three do-or-die issues for me.
1) Amnesty - Hell NO, not even, not ever - no citizenship for criminals
2) Budget - No increase in debt ceiling, no deficit spending. Shut the government the hell down if it comes to it.
3) Guns — NO new laws - no magazine limits, AWBs or universal NICS.
I told him that he doesn’t get re-elected by the media, nor Obama, nor the Democrats. They won’t get him re-elected; I will if he doesn’t violate any of the three items above.
GOP is getting its ass kicked while Harry Reid does nothing. This is a great tactic to put the searchlight (no pun intended) on the Democrat Senate's refusal to act on anything.
We can't win with only the House. We can't win by shutting down the government. We can only win by changing public opinion. This is the first step.
Did I really just read this 3 month bargain? Really?
What the he** are they smoking in DC???
I honestly don’t know how anyone can’t see this horrid mess, yes, I still have some around me who believe all is just fine and peachy.
Krauthammer is right on this one. (Wrong on the NRA ad, I might mention.)

Imbeciles.
“Fitch Ratings agency recently said, if the debt limit is raised without substantive deficit reduction, our nation’s credit rating could be downgraded”
For a 2nd time, IINM.

This is a start. The House HAS passed budgets, not one single one has come through the Senate...most are dead on arrival, according to Reid. And that is criminal dereliction of duty (as if there aren’t enough examples)
And I very much am in favor of no budget no pay. We’ll see.
Produce the budget with spending cuts FIRST!
Even when the pubbies think they’re playing hardball, they’re still a pack of wussies. Why not issuing a warrant for Harry Reid’s arrest? He runs the senate, senate is required by law to produce a budget. Can these clowns be any more pathetic? No wonder millions stayed home on Election Day.
Cloward/Piven dontcha know.
Every time I hear of one of these “deals” I just laugh.
So pathetic.
In other words, hand the check book to Oboma. We know how it all ends.
The democrats do the two step (I believe they learned it from Vladimir Lenin). They push their issues as far as they can push (2 steps "forward"), and then demand bipartisanship. The Republicans chat with them for awhile, and the democrats agree to take a step back. The Republicans accept their offer. That still leaves them one incremental step "forward" toward their communist utopia every time!
The stupid party(R) walks away wondering what just happened.
They democrats +1
Republicans -2 (because they let the left set the agenda in the first place. They shouldn't have even agreed to discuss their nonsence!)
Not good enough by a long shot!
1) The senate has to produce a budget. Not agree to produce one. They actually have to produce it and pass it before the House moves a single inch.
2) This budget must put in place emergency action to save our currency. This will include an entire overhaul of government spending. Agencies whose sole purpose is bureaucracy such as the GSA must be 100% defunded and decommissioned immediately, while non-essential agencies such as organizations in the Department Of Labor and the EPA must have budget cuts of around 50%. A board must be assigned to investigate spending in the military to avoid situations like buying tanks we don’t need while soldiers are forced to buy their own equipment. All subsidies to ‘research’ however small, must be cut. Planned Parenthood must be defunded. All representatives, senators, the president, his staff, must take pay cuts (well deserved by my judgement)
3) All welfare programs must undergo intense scrutiny with general unemployment benefits receiving cuts along with an overhaul of the food stamp system. Obamacare has to be dismantled due to its astronomical cost alone.
This is just for starters. This is the bare minimum needed to set us on the path to fiscal stability. ‘Seems partisan? ‘Seems like no leftard would ever agree to it? Maybe so, but this is what is needed. If Obama refuses to yield, then we will have a government shutdown. Not a shutdown that lasts a week until Republicans cave because people are unhappy. A shutdown with the ball in the White House’s court. Zero will have only two options. Either agree to the demands, come to the table with the intention of doing the right thing for the country (I won’t hold my breath), or usurp the constitution, strip congress of their rights, and become a dictator.
Are you listening, you spineless dishrags in the house? If there was ever a time to stop this arrogant, narcissistic, commie fraud, now is it.
This is so stupid. Either they will continue to cave (more likely) or they will fight. If they choose to cave, do it, don’t try to string people along, because we aren’t buying it anymore. If you are going to fight, do it now. Might as well get it going.
Have these idiots ever work in the real world, or is their brained addled by long years in DC?
If they want to kick the can then it sould be "We will raise the debt limit for THREE DAYS and if no budget is forthcoming in that time, NO MORE RAISES, EVER!!!"
Here the Republican bastards go again...going along to get along.
We need to impeach them all and fill the seats with trained dogs or monkeys that will do the will of the people...conservative that is.
"We ALWAYS do what we are told ... by the MSM and Democrats.
Isn't that why you voted for us?"
Of course, evil harry reid will now produce a “budget”
with lots of pork and spending increases and when the House balks, it will be the same old blame it on the gop line—”we did what they asked and the gop controlled House still won’t pass it”.
