A Republican senator said Sunday he has no problem letting Democrats "off the hook" of voter anger over the deficit if it means passage of a commission to come up with ways to reduce long-term debt.

Yes, let them off the hook, Mr Gregg. But be aware that if the Dems do well in the 2010 off-terms, conservatives may have lost their last chance to derail the insane tax-and spend-libs before they socialize and bankrupt this country.
“...passage of a commission to come up with ways to reduce long-term debt.”
Any member of Congress who really believes that a (probably) toothless commission would have their debt reducton ideas adopted is...well, they’re highly deluded.
...or as Rush said last week, it should now be changed to ‘HOAX and CHAINS’...
As you point out that is above his pay grade. He has no say in the matter.
To reduce our debt all they have to do is STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!
They have an addiction to spending and since it is not theirs they have no conscience about not stopping.
This kind of spending is the same as the mental problem some people have where they spend whether or not they have the funds or the need.
Remember, this is the Rhino that Obama wanted in his administration. Of course, he is a traitor.
And you ain’t seen nothing yet! Congress has a tall stack of billion/trillion dollar spending bills and tax bills waiting and they will all get passed.
The Congressional Black Caucus wants billions to bailout out black/Latino households from mortgage and credit card debt. In fact, they want to GIVE them homes!!!!
I predict 5 trillion MORE in spending/borrowing by the Dems within the next year. The Republicans can’t stop any of it.
Maybe they can form a commission to find a home to care for all retarded senators and representatives.
Why does the Republican Party keep sending people to DC who are just plain stupid? When the Democrats want to destroy the country and the Republicans are just plain stupid, there isn't much reason for optimism.
“off the hook” of voter anger “
THIS SHOULD MAKE IT CLEAR TO EVERYONE....these idiot are absolutely insane.
The Sins and critters don’t get to decide whether the electorate is angry...WE DO!
To think that he thinks he can do that ...
WOW, that’s the height of arrogance ...
What Douche-Bag said that!?!
Bipartisanshippers Unite!
trouble with buying votes is that you have to buy them over and over or those you buy lose interet.
These Pubbies are so out of touch with the people its pathetic. That is why making donations to worthy candidates and not to the GOP is the way to go.
He might be, but the voters aren’t, I hope.
Its MY hook, and they ‘rats (and this RINO) are still on it... you MORON! What Chutzpah, especially in light of another TRILLION today!!
“How naive.”
Certainly the rats would be if they took the bait. Almost every dem voted for 1 Trillion dollars a year. That’s too good (and too outrageous) to pass up. To their shame, so too did several R senators.
I did not know this senator was in charge of voter anger. For some reason, I always thought that voters were in charge of that.
Yep, that commission’s gonna reduce our deficit, just like Gramm-Rudman and Bush I’s promise-breaking tax increase did! Yessiree!
Hey, Gregg, let your testicles descend and deny unanimous consent on spending legislation, already!
