I don’t think the GOP is losing the debt debate

More like a GOP surrendering the debt debate

Dick Morris’ crystal ball is usually opaque at best.

One of the best two consecutive, setup posts in the history of FR!

"I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of officers and salaries merely to make partisans, and for increasing by every device the public debt on the principle of its being a public blessing." --Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799.

We shall see, Mr. Morris.
To: Signalman
Galling, infuriating & most likely true! I just pray there’s a GOP left by November 2012!
To: GeronL
He might be right. But this is Dick Morris we are talking about, and his predictions tend to be awful. Remember his book Condi versus Hillary lol.
To: mlocher
Yeah. Too bad he is wrong much more often than he is right.

What Republicans?
The Michele Bachmann types or the Scott Brown types?

There is NO way that Boehner can pass a bill with the vast majority of the GOP caucus voting against it.

In this case, others are saying similar things. Perhaps - we’ll see - but there is clearly a difference ins perception on this issue between “the folks” (as BOR would say it) - and the Ruling Class in DC. What Morris (and others) are pointing out is that the Ruling Class pols may think they’ve won the war by winning this battle over the debt ceiling, but in the end they will lose.
I know, I know...
But who - WHO!?! - thought we’d control Washington after winning control of only one house of Congress last Nov?
Think about it. The best a party that controls only the House can hope for is to slow down and impede - the R’s don’t have the votes to have things their way - - yet. That is the “war” that must be won in 2012.

And Hillary Clinton will be president.
To: mlocher
The problem with Dick Morris’ prediction is that because of all of this noone should trust DC anymore....period.
They keep forgetting that little nugget.

Your view of reality is probably pretty accurate. I certainly don’t see the Tea Party as winning this battle to their/our satisfaction. I do see our actions as creating a forum for public debate which will enhance our position in 2012. The upper hand is slowly moving our way.

Republicans will succeed in making a vast cut in federal spending But it won't really be a cut, nor will it be "vast". It will only be a reduction in the rate of increase in spending. The debt and defict will both keep rising.
