John ... you trusted them ... you f***** up!
Actually, considering the lack of honor and trustworthiness of the leadership on one side of the aisle ... and the stupidity and lack of courage of the leadership on the other side of the aisle ... we should probably consider it a major victory if spending doesn't increase significantly as a direct result of their budget reduction negotiations.
I’d say it is in fact Strike One once news of these gimmicks came to light. Time will tell if he gets the other strikes. He has time and opportunity to redeem himself - but it is entirely up to him.
There are many around here that are perverts and not wanting to discuss this with any sort of maturity, however, as you can see from a few of the above posts...as though any criticism of theirs can be taken seriously with that kind of behavior.
We need a bomb thrower...
Yeah, Boehner got HOSED on this one. What remains to be seen is how he reacts to it.
If he’s grown a pair, then Obama/Reid screwed up BIG-TIME, because the big fight is still ahead, and coming on fast, the debt ceiling increase.
I can see him saying a deal is a deal, even if he got screwed. But if he’s got the balls to stand up and say here’s the line in the sand, no further, we might have a chance of actually getting something done.
He should resign but he will call this a triumph and victory.
lol.
The GOP is one big bad joke.
The budget is going to increase and it HAS increased already. They will keep building on it instead of facing reality.
Even if it stayed the same as this year, we are so far in the hole that we might never get out
While that statement may be silent, the military is not getting paid right now - I know this for a fact since my son serves...
Thus confirmed: Boner is a go-along-to-get-along castrated weakling. Toss him out. Replace him with Michelle Bachmann, who has more testosterone than this pansy, paradoxically.
We're already there my FRiend.
Sometime, try to amortize the debt amounts presented by an organization such as U.S. Debt Clock using any reasonable assumption for growth in tax receipts and reduced spending. It can't be done. Default is inevitable! And that's not including the cost of "contingent" and/or "off-balance sheet" obligations such as unfunded pensions, GSE's (e.g. Fannie and Freddie), Medicare, Medicaid, etc.). The U.S. is hopelessly, unavoidedly, irreversibly broke.
After you crunch the numbers, refer to any economic history text to see what happens to countries who default on their debt obligations. And be advised that if you do, you won't sleep again for at least a week.
I totally agree.
We need to end all entitlements and slash government spending to the Constitutional bare-bones.
To say that Boehner's "deal" stinks to high heaven, is very much an understatement!
I'd also like to point out who Kevin Madden is: a political advisor for Mitt Romney in 2008, so the fact that he was a "former Boehner spokesman" is very telling as he's also worked for another "dealmaker" -
How much less, then, do ordinary people understand the that the GOP organization, the bulk of the the Republican Congress critters, and most of the Conservative media are also puppets of the global masters? To catch a whiff of Boehner being interviewed by Hannity on the drive home was to throw in the towel on the fantasy that this will end well. They are almost all useful idiots, either bought and paid for, or without a complete set of vertebrae between the lot of them.
Where did you get the photo of Ed shultz Dinner?
I came to the realization many blue moons ago when we had so-called leaders like Trent Lott and Orin Hatch always embelishing their comments of their “Friends” on the other side of the aisle before speaking about an issue at hand.
They are all on the same team playing good cop vs. bad cop against us, We The People. Their ultimate goal is the outright death of the constraints of the Constitution which limits their siezure on power and wealth. Rush did an excellent piece on this reality when playing the words of each side during the 2006 debt debates and the one starting now. In many cases the same people 180° on the same issue.
I say that as a generality of politicians and also have to go on record to say there are exceptions and we know who they are. Allen West is but one of the shining examples.
“John is, more than anything, a dealmaker,” says Republican consultant Kevin Madden, a former Boehner spokesman. “He uses his personal and political power to make deals.”
To say that Boehner’s “deal” stinks to high heaven, is very much an understatement!
I’d also like to point out who Kevin Madden is: a political advisor for Mitt Romney in 2008, so the fact that he was a “former Boehner spokesman” is very telling as he’s also worked for another “dealmaker” - Mitt Romney!
BUMP THE ABOVE.
Boehner is Romney’s stalking horse.
Their PLAN:
Ruin America and all other GOP candidates
so Romney can be nominated.
He was complicit in the fraud, or he was snookered—Either way, he’s demonstrated he’s not up to the job.
Both he, and his butt-boy Cantor, need to be recalled now.
