“Regarding the debt limit deal, she went on to say that while it is a victory to change the debate toward talking about the debt, there is much more work to be done. She does acknowledge that the debt limit deal is a step in the right direction but she doesn’t like giving what she believes may be the most liberal President in US history another 2 trillion dollars that we don’t have with no major reforms.”


I am not convinced that it is a "step in the right direction". They may be talking about the debt and spending cuts, but those "cuts" are largely an illusion. The media has been calling this a Tea Party victory, while Tea Party activists do not consider it much of a victory. If I was to put my cynic hat on, I would guess that the idea is to pin the coming economic fallout in the wake of this deal on the Tea Party pressure to "cut spending", even though very little spending is really being cut. They could then turn around and say, "see we did it your way and cut spending and look where it got us". This would be followed by every economist that they could get to go along with them saying: "We told you that massive spending cuts in a weak economy would spell trouble. We need to invest more in the economy to put Americans back to work".

I am not sure that falling into this trap is helping the cause.

If the economy goes into double dip, the dems and Bambi can say what they want, but very few but the most rabid obamunist will believe them.

A continuing bad economy after 3 years of them in office will be a disaster for them.

There is no victory here. Not even a step in the right direction. This “deal” does nothing about our out of control spending or skyrocketing debt and, in fact, authorizes the largest borrowing/spending binge and the largest national debt for any country in world history! And therefore will bring on the largest tax increase in world history, whether that tax is an actual levied tax on the people or an inflation tax or an interest rate tax or a fall in the dollar tax or a depressed economy tax or a loss of jobs tax. Most likely ALL of the above! And it dilutes our fiscally responsible vote in the House and it turns undue power over to the senate, the dems, the RINOS and the Marxist Obama himself! It’s startling how BAD this deal actually is and how badly our GOP “leadership” handled it. It’s total capitulation by our side! It amounts to taxation without representation!!

Our country is headed for national bankruptcy and our GOP leadership is lost in a state of incompetency, impotency, cowardice and denial. It’s institutionalized insanity!!

This must be repealed by the next congress and the spending/taxing/borrowing death spiral STOPPED!! It’s way past time for fiscally responsible, sane adults to take charge!!

Stop the spending, stupid! Cut up the credit cards! Repeal all this big spending, big taxing, big borrowing, big government nonsense!! And repeal ObamaCommieCare while we’re at it!!

Restore our constitutionally LIMITED government!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Vote the corrupt bastard OUT and tea party conservatives IN!! We must take the majority!!
