He thinks that the Liberal/ MSM wailing is "just a ruse." That's the problem-- I don't think it's a ruse. The Libs are so divorced from reality that they really do think that $38 Billion worth of planned spendign reductions are draconian.
It was a victory for Boehner and the Tea Party. It wasn't a great victory-- but we have to deal with delusional people here. You simply aren't going to get what we REALLY want right now.
Until the Sheeple really understand the depths of this crisis-- we will have to work with the Democrats. Gov. Huckabee said this on Laura's show this morning essentially when he observes that you can only do so much with only the House.
You be wrong, the sucking sound of the republican cave in during the dead duck has not stopped. They just got gold plated shovels to dig the hole with.
“It was a victory for Boehner and the Tea Party.”???? It started out at $100 Billion, then it went to $60 Billion and ended up at $38 Billion. Where’s the victory?
You think conservatives are angry at Boehner? Try listing to Liberal Talk radio.
I’ll withhold comments on weather I think we won or lost this budget battle – but it was fun listening to Bill Press on Leftist Talk Radio this morning. As far as the Leftist are concern, Obama was the one who caved - again, like he has done on GITMO, Iraq, Bush Tax cuts, and every other promise he made to his base.
Bill Press, and nearly everyone of his callers were spitting mad that the Government wasn’t shut down, and that a deal was made. They had made all of these plans on how to use a Government shut down against the Republicans – and they see it all get blown away over the weekend. I could not believe the anger they had against Obama this morning.
Of course their anger is always short lived. Give them a week or two and Obama love fest will continue.

Trent Lott on Tea Party candidates: ‘As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them’

The money quote from a Washington Post piece on the Tea Party and Washington’s GOP establishment:
Former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), now a D.C. lobbyist, warned that a robust bloc of rabble-rousers spells further Senate dysfunction. “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples,” Lott said in an interview. “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.”
But Lott said he’s not expecting a tea-party sweep. “I still have faith in the visceral judgment of the American people,” he said.
