I’m sure Rush feels the same way a lot of people do right now and he’s only human to be frustrated and say something he probably doesn’t mean like moving out of the country? I too have this feeling that even though Boener and the House tried their damnedest, we still got shafted by the Dem’s (the devil is in the details) It feels like an anti-climactic ending to probably the most critical moment in our nations history...if they downgrade the AAA rating...it WILL be the end of America as we new it. They should have cut more. I was hoping it would fail in the Senate. Watch the Dem’s and Harry Reid spin it into a victory for them, making the GOP & the Tea Party look like idiots with the lame-stream media rolling with it.
2) I agree the bill sucks. Come on. Everyone knew this was going to happen a week ago, and it's not a "sellout" and it's not a "conspiracy." It's the way the political system was set up by the Founders to ensure that you don't get radical, rapid change without majorities in both houses and the pres. Well, guess what? The Dems pulled that off in 2008, and more important, THEIR majority for the first time in years was a hard-core radical majority (vs. ours in 2004 which was, at best, a middle of the road majority).
IT IS ONLY NOW THAT WE WILL SEE WHAT THE TEA PARTY IS MADE OF, because it takes several elections of hard-core people to turn the country around, not one quick fix. Don't like Boehner? Vote him out and replace him with someone more reliable. But if the Tea Party people all throw up their hands and say "what's the use," that is exactly what the Dems have NOT done year after year after year. When they didn't win with their middle-of-the-roaders in 2002 and 2004, they brought in radicals. I say we try that . . . again, and again, and again.
