Did the GOP get 98 % of what it wanted? [According to Boehner, they did]
Greta Wire ^ | 7/31/2011 | Greta Van Susteren

...I just spoke with a House GOP lawmaker who told me he intends to vote “no” on the compromise. This lawmaker was present on the GOP conference call and quoted Speaker Boehner as saying both “We got 98 percent of what we wanted” and that “The minority leader’s on board,” which prompted this lawmaker to ask: “Really? Nancy’s cool with only 2 percent? She’s that stupid?”...

The can raise taxes and plunge us into another total long lasting depression that will last a generation. Sounds like a winning election strategy.

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and defense consume almost every penny of current revenue. We’re borrowing to pay for the interest on the debt and the rest of government functions. What would you cut?

If they vote for this, the GOP is asking to be blackmailed by the debt commission. Tax hikes or cut defense/medicare.

It’s that simple. They know exactly where this is going.

So the “mandatory spending cuts” don’t even start until Jan. 1, 2013.

Please, please - let us call a spade a spade. There are no spending CUTS. Is is only a forecast of cuts to the amount of spending INCREASES. Until the GOP stands up and tells America the TRUTH, I don't believe anything I hear from either established parties.

TEA PARTY GET THE WORD OUT - THERE ARE ZERO SPENDING CUTS - ABSLOLUTELY ZERO. Support the Mac Penny plan and you will see real cuts.

Not the answer. We have to build on what we did the last election. We need to elect more tea party candidates. Go after the rinos with challenges in the primarys to get rid of them. Let’s build the GOP with more conservatives. Get a super majority in the senate to go along with the house. Obama will be history with any republican being better than him. Down will go Obamacare and we will be able to get a bba passed by the states.

Allen West says...I just got off the phone with House Speaker Boehner...on Sunday, July 31, 2011 at 9:17pm during a GOP conference call reviewing the debt agreement.

This agreement reflects basic framework of the Budget Control Act. I will wait and get clarification from the CBO score, however at this time I believe this is a good plan for the American people. There aren't any tax hikes and there isn't a clean raising of the debt limit. It is focused on real spending cuts of the federal government with draconian stop-gap measures to ensure we enact those spending cuts. A balanced budget amendment to the states is also a part of the agreement, which is a huge victory for Americans.

“GOP has surrendered on (eliminating) health care law...revenue and Medicaid is walled off in sequestration.”

Unless and until Obamacare is repealed or defunded (or an ATTEMPT made, at least) I will summarily dismiss any GOP fundraising efforts.

Boehner opening his mouth claiming we got 98% was absurdly stupid. Almost as dumb as “We’ll pass CCB, but we need a backup plan incase the Dems don’t like it”.

We have a pathetic, incompetant negotiator doing our work for us int he house. This is disgraceful.

Which means they're never going to happen. What a complete joke.

Na the 98% is a baseline number, the real world number would have been 10% of what we wanted. But we only live in the real world and not the baseline world.

Who said West was a war hero? West has proven his trustworthiness...I will trust his judgment. He's one of the best coming out of the Tea Party Candidates.
