Beware The "Super Congress" - excellent read.

McConnell sold out the country and the U.S. Constitution in
one single flush down the drain.

Excerpts:

"The creation of a 12 person elitist panel of lawmakers is absurd and is just meant to fast track more awful legislation through the Washington meat grinder."

"Legislation approved by the Super Congress -- which some on Capitol Hill are calling the "super committee" -- would then be fast-tracked through both chambers, where it couldn't be amended by simple, regular lawmakers, who'd have the ability only to cast an up or down vote. With the weight of both leaderships behind it, a product originated by the Super Congress would have a strong chance of moving through the little Congress and quickly becoming law. A Super Congress would be less accountable than the system that exists today"

A "RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION" Campaign should be started immediately by PRIMARYING and REMOVING all those who have SIGNED ON to this atrocity on the taxpayers of America!

The republicans failed. They let us down again. Just like they always do when push comes to shove. They say they only had 1/3 of the federal government, but it was 1/3 that could have said "No" and didn't.

The newly elected Conservative American Tea Partiers failed. The DeadStream Media wants them to think they won. How is this a victory? Downgrade is on the way for the credit rating, the debt ceiling was raised, and federal government spending will increase by $7-Trillion dollars over the next 10 years!! If that is "victory," I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

Sums it up here. The House contols the purse. The "Tea Party" had the House that amttered and sold out. I refuse to allow these cretins to pass responsibility. They voted for it and they own it.

Received an email that Ruger has developed a new pistol called Congress. It doesn’t work and you can’t fire it.

The only true way to stop this spiraling never ending debt is to stop the Federal Reserve because all raising the debt ceiling does is buy borrowed time by borrowing more fiat currency loaned out to us from the fed.

‘We should toss all these bums out of office and demand term-limits for congress.’

Its almost enough to make ones head pop. On one hand he thinks Congress is an epic failure yet he’s going to trust them to write a superfluous term limits law. Perhaps this is why we continue getting the Congress we deserve?

I will agree Congress is failing and most need to be sent packing. This is exactly why Americans must be engaged in the political process. We have the power right now to vote them in and out right now. Yet so few care to inform themselves and vote. Term limits are for a stupid and lazy people.

Nothing about our economic situation will improve and instead, given the kind of diluted bill that WAS passed, our situation will just get worse. However, with the MSM falsely naming the Tea Party as victors in the process... Liberals will feel more justified in maligning them.

They don't get it.

Tea Party representation in the house are Americans duly elected to public office by OTHER AMERICANS!!! There's no getting around THAT or making it into some kind of extra Constitutional anomaly or abuse of the system.
