The left are already saying there is no mandate for change, and seek to blunt the conservative movement by saying compromise is necessary. Nothing could be further from the truth.The election was a repudiation of Obamas socialist ideology and spending.

We now need to make sure the progressives in the House do their promised work, if not, Marsha Blackburn, Jack Ryan, or Darryl Issa should be the speaker istead of Boehner.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

Spending

Put back in the Bush tax cuts set to expire

Dump ObamaCare

Trash the homos in military actions

A few starter points in my book.

“...demonstrate measurable success in cutting spending”...I bet it ends up like usual. They will want to cut all the democrats spending, the democrats will fight back, hardly anything will get done and all of a sudden it’ll be 2012 and everyone will be promising anything to everybody, to get elected.

They need to draw a line in the sand - NOT ONE MORE DAMNED DIME OF DEBT, PERIOD - and see who wants to cross it.

On Tuesday night, Lawrence O'Donnell went ballistic over the possibility that Rand Paul might refuse to raise the debt ceiling. (It would destroy the world economy.)

Republicans NEED to refuse to raise this. We have a spending problem. Cut the spending. If you're going to cut the spending, you don't need to raise the debt ceiling. Thsi should not even be open to debate.

I’m thinkin’ that the Tea Party needs to hold a rally on January 3, 2011 on the Capitol steps to remind them, right at the start, that their collective butts are on the line. They’d better come through.

No more taxes. No more bailouts. No more socialism. No more RINOs.

The GOP House should pass a bill to kill BarryCare. Then they should refuse to fund it. I think they need to offer a health care bill that replaces BarryCare with the few popular provisions — coverage of pre-existing conditions, coverage of college-aged children on parents’ plans — and go on an intense media blitz so that everyone hears that the few good parts of the bill (and there are indeed very few) will be preserved. Make it clear that the only reason to support BarryCare is a desire to see a government takeover of our economy’s health care sector.

Two questions, please:

What is the date by which this has to be passed? Also, the last time it was done, did any Pubbies' vote for it? Anyone have the roll call?

The other spending battle is to bail out California.

[paul51]

they should start lopping off whole agencies and departments. there was a good list started here a short while back. beyond that there probably isn't a single federal bureaucracy that doesn't waste at least 30% of its budget.

I think the debt ceiling issue should be wrapped around getting a budget passed. Make the dems be seen as the ones who won’t cut spending.
