Is there a more obnoxious publicity hound than Ayotte? (Perhaps Peter King comes close.) She was on MSNBC this morning with Murkowski and Collins, carrying water for Harry Reid. Birds of a feather.....

What you don’t think the markets will sell off? That investors might lighten up dollar holdings? That Obama will shut off SS checks for seniors and the media will blame the tea party for starving old people to death? That won’t happen? Seems some folks here are willing to hold their breaths until Nancy Pelosi is speaker. This is the plan now?

When the bill is announced it will then go to the house for a vote...limited procedures because it’s been agreed if the house votes first time will be saved.

Wall Street appears to like the news...

Because they knew before everyone else did.

“Boehner needs to be made to understand that if he screws the Tea Party, he’s out of the Speaker’s job.”

No he isn’t. He will win in his district and he will remain speaker in the House with the consent of the tea party members in the House. Want to bet?

none of these morons see that growing government is ruining the economy(economy is just running on massive growing debt any idiot knows THIS is what will cause collapse. this is the apposite of the media lies who say we must raise the debt ceiling

none of these morons see that growing government is also taking away our freedoms. the democrats and other idiots are happy to be slaves of the government . they trust and love government and don't see it's just running on debt

I hope we don’t bite the bait. Focus needs to continue to be the epic failures of Obamacare. He doesn’t have the votes to pass amnesty right now I don’t think. It is just a shell game.

Don't know Pen....He didn't have the votes before, but if Obama gets respite today, he will have new momentum and be on the road tomorrow with amnesty and continue the harangue of blaming Repubs. If his media campaign shifts the polls, GOP will cave....again...

Sheesh: Just now hearing Rush say the same thing. On to the next battle... Amnesty.

I'm starting to believe it wouldn't make that much of a difference.
Plus she has balls.

The USA is a news media dictatorship, .the media are socialist monsters and they rule with an iron fist

It is an establishment dictatorship, but you are right that the media (including Fox) plays a crucial role. But what makes their job so easy are the establishment Republicans. If the Republicans behaved like a real opposition party, they could do a more effective job countering the spin (especially since so much of it is blatantly false).

Establishment Republicans are the real, underlying problem. Opposing them at every turn (even if it means fewer "R"s and more "D"s) is a pre-requisite for any meaningful opposition to the transformation of America.

why is anything that gets announced in the senate news of any significance?

Ayotte should be a one term senator. She has the IQ of an amoeba

with apologies to amoebas. Fixed it

The big secret of the cosmos is that the author of evil is smaller than the author of goodness. If we collapse everytime there is a trial (because of our lack of faith in this fundamental fact) then we get nowhere. Quite true, Obama is probably going to brag on his usual vapid nothing, and we have to steel ourselves as best as possible for it. But an iterative process is going on here and when the good dares to make a move, it will make progress in the big picture.

so what's your solution keep raising the debt limit?

that is what will cause collapse , growing debt. why aren't you and your media allies worried about what the exploding debt will do to the markets

the markets will see finally common sense in not raising the debt ceiling and will eventually grow. that is what is needed , to stop borrowing or don't you get it? you are brainwashed by the media lies. are you a democrat?

Well, they announced the “deal” so now we know what it is.

It’s very bad.
