The accounting tricks used in Obama/Reid/PelosiCare would make the folks at Enron and Bernie Madoff blush!

I don’t doubt it but is this really true?

I hope McConnell knows what he’s doing. I’m one who doesn’t blame him for the fix we’re in today. That can almost wholly be attributed to ignorance of a majority of Americans.

You can’t shine sh_t... and the average person knows it.

Translation. He caved.
All the supposed Reid “concessions” involve style vs. substance.

If you believe this, you probably also believe the latest Talking Points about the wonderful benefits government healthcare is bringing your way.

I’d like to know why McConnell thinks Reid’s word is worth anything.

This is utterly pathetic and in keeping with the GOP way of doing business with the left.

It's so typical for our side to turn and point the finger at the guys who have the 40 votes. The MSM and the Dems have been experts at getting us to self-doubt constantly.

Keep your aim trained on the 60-vote side and DON'T LET UP. DON'T BE DISTRACTED.

Republicans only look good because they are standing next to Democrats. Both Party’s are weak, power hungry and corrupt. Sure there are exceptions, but, for the most part I believe our elected officials don not represent the will of the people anymore.

More than ever I believe we need a third party with core values like Palin, Reagan and our founding fathers, but with communication skills that can attract center and center left voters (the ones that really have conservative values when you ask questions to drill down and reveal their core values). I really do believe they exist.

Common sense, decency and a strong sense of right an wrong seem to be slipping through our fingers. We need to stop the slide.

Does anyone think Reid will abide by his agreement? What BS!

Thanks to the 2006 and 2008 elections, McConnell has a very weak hand. That will change next year, if conservatives do what they have to do.

someone in another thread made a good point, to wit: The early vote will get the news on the tv and radio by noontime and not after supper, when it would have been ignored by all heading out to Christmas Eve events.

Are there any real conservatives out there who will run against these weaklings in the primaries?

Replace them all.
