Pence and all the members are the RSC are still out there fighting the good fight.

I for one am ready to fight the good fight. And am glad to see there's still a spine in our party. No backing down, it's time to cowboy up. Right On Pence!

This is the kind of thing we can campaign with. We will keep your taxes low, not only slow government down but shrink it, save future generations from higher taxes and debt, and not just cut our deficit but balance the budget without new taxes. It's going to be hard with our past track record but the democrats will only have there tried and failed tax and spend plans and the voters have seen through them time and time again.

It's Not To Late, Lets hope all republicans in congress rally behind this budget. If not we need to insist and insist till they beg us to leave them alone.

Good post, and good news.

Austere? When the new budget for an agency does not have a baseline of last year's budget plus inflation, I'll start considering austere as a possible adjective.

How about dumping the free drug program, or going back on rebuilding that gold mosque that was blown up?

How about making Iraq pay us back for some of the money we blew over there?

How about cutting back on all the aids money going to Africa? How much money does it cost to tell them about monogamy in marriage?

How much pork was in the last transportation bill?

Are these people really serious or are they just campaigning?

influential House conservatives plan this week to propose an austere alternative spending plan that would pare more than $650 billion over five years, balance the budget and drastically shrink three cabinet agencies

1. Talk is cheap.

2. Influential house conservatives should have been doing this years ago, not months before an election.

3. $650 billion does NOT balance the budget over 5 years

4. While this is a good idea, if falls well short of what is necessary

This has no chance, look at what happended to Gingrich even when he had the support of his party to shut down government. Clinton and the libs made mincemeat of him.

I am for waiting until 'Atlas shrugs' with a return to feudalism, moats, drawbridges, chivalry the whole enchilada. GGG guns groceries gold.

BUMP

[ohhhh]

[The legislation, part of a push by some Republicans to re-establish themselves as champions of fiscal restraint, was taking shape as President Bush struck a similar theme on Monday by asking Congress to grant him line-item veto power to eliminate federal spending that he might judge wasteful.]

Campaign bs for those who are facing re-election. Always been a conservative but now I realize that both parties are worthless liars and thieves. And pubs wonder why the ratings of Congress and the president are in the 30% range. The problem with them is they don't realize that the true conservative right is smarter than than the libs and neo cons and won't vote for liars and fools and liberal pubs or communist dems at the voting booths.

Cheap political trick in an election year. The Republican Party no longer stands for anything in this bill.
