The feeling's mutual, has-beens.
the house has me TEAD off........what the heck?
If you drank a six pack a day that would be 2190 beers a year. Cutting 6 billion is like skipping 3/4 of one beer the entire year. If that much.
How the hell do these morons sleep at night? Seriously! This is criminal what they have done in Washington. Except the newcomers. They need to step up. As far as anyone that has been in the Congress or the presidency the last 100 years they are all to blame for the state we are in. As far as Obama goes he needs to be impeached and impeached today!
If Boehner can put down the crying towel long enough, there are more than an ample number of capable conservatives to whom he could turn over the gavel. Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachman would be just two of the better choices.
Gosh, I must have missed the Politico articles on the Democratic Party growing tired of the Left wing. Then I guess that would just be the Left wing and the Lefter wing.
Besides, when the Politico (and rest of the media) is the far Left wing of the Democrat Party, they aren’t going to point it out are they.
Give me a break. This amounts to less than 3% annualized. Anything less than 5% is ridiculous. If they were serious about it, 10% would be the goal. The entrenched Repulican veterans don't want to have to do any hard work. They are part of the ruling class and want the easy life.
Gee...Politico publishes a piece that highlights tension between GOP leadership and the Tea Party. I’m shocked.
Mandatory Spending to Exceed all Federal Revenues — 50 Years Ahead of Schedule

The cut is not endless. Its only $1.6 trillion. Its the spending thats endlessly large
“I know that’s what the speaker’s working toward. The common ground?”.....
Screw the common ground, damn it!.....CUT SPENDING NOW YOU A-HOLES!!!
Sucks to not want to be electable. Perhaps they need to switch parties.

Mike Simpson is a moron. You’re voting for the $1.6 trillion spending and cut $6 billion and you want us to pat you on the back and not call you a Liberal?!?!?!
Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson was one of a handful of Republicans to vote in favor of the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in the 110th Congress. Simpson has also been a supporter of the National Endowment of the Arts and the National Endowment of the Humanities, voting each year against Republican amendments to strip them of funding.
“Politics is not about ideological purity or moral self-righteousness. It is about governing, and if a politician cannot compromise he cannot govern effectively.” This quote is framed and hangs in Simpson’s Washington D.C. office.

GOP Congressman Steve LaTourette Attacks Fox News: ‘They Should Stop Smoking It’
Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-Ohio) unleashed a fiery attack on Fox News on the House floor, blasting the network for distorted coverage of legislation addressing union pension plans.
LaTourette said that Fox’s representation of the bill as a “bailout” was “nonsense” and then went on to rip the quality of the network’s larger news coverage.
“I don’t know who the pin head and weenie is at Fox News that decided to put that story together,” LaTourette said. “I don’t know what they’re doing at Fox News, but they should stop smoking it and get back to reporting the facts.”
If these people do not understand that the GOP is supposed to BE the right wing, then they don’t deserve our votes or even belong in the party.
0.7% is NEITHER a draconian NOR a substantive spending cut.
The so-called "veteran Republicans" are the ones that got us into this mess. It's past time for some forced retirements of these RINOs, and get someone who is serious about getting deficits under control and restoring The Constitution.
