Clueless... absolutely clueless.

They could have done this 4 years ago. Kabuki theatre at its best.

Yes, FIRST give Hussein everything his handlers want....

See how well that worked the last several times they tried that?

[oldbrowser]

How many times are we going to try to negotiate?

How many lines are we going to draw in the sand?

They are playing smash-mouth politics and we are playing mother may I.

RE :’At a press conference Tuesday evening, House leaders declined to say if they had enough votes to pass the bill. However, several GOP aides and lawmakers tell National Review Online that the measure will probably pass with a limited number of defections.
“I think there’s more unity now on this issue than probably anything else I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” said Representative Tim Griffin (R., Ark.), echoing a popular sentiment among members — including many conservatives — following a two-hour GOP conference meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday.
“We’re all in,” says Representative Adam Kinzinger (R., Ill.).
The bill’s passage would spare House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) and his leadership team a repeat of the embarrassing “Plan B” debacle in December, when they had to cancel a vote on their preferred fiscal-cliff legislation because they lacked sufficient GOP support.
....
On Tuesday, Ryan and Cantor huddled with RSC members to urge a united front. At the conference meeting that evening, Boehner made a further appeal to conservatives by committing to produce a House budget that would balance within a ten-year window.”

They better try something different like this. The approaches last year were a disaster unless you were O.
The GOP has yet to win one of these congress vs POTUS (let alone one House alone) gov shutdown direct confrontationss because they didnt know how to keep public opinion on their side in them.
New caved and passed Clinton his CR and got re-elected, the past two years seem even worse because everyone ends up mad at the GOP as a result, to Os delight.

Dems are united behind O, that is how they won.

If boner promises to submit a budget that balances after 10 years, he had better show cuts immediately. Today’s congress cannot impel any legislation on any subsequent congress. Any promise of a future cut is no promise at all.

It’s a start. Should have been done in 2011 but they were all too scared, too confident Obama would be defeated, and too damn stupid to listen to Michelle Bachmann.

FAILURE
after all this is the GOP Leadership

[goodnesswins]

I see Lucy is playing with Charlie again....

[skinkinthegrass]

*sigh*a real change, would've been to incorporated "#0 baseline" budgeting
and NOT committ to this 10 years budgeting methodology.
