You have no excuse for your IGNANCE.
BTW, I did my analysis and reportage here LONG BEFORE Dick Morris and Ann Coulter ran with it.
If you will stay awake long enough you'll find I am 1 to 2 days ahead of all the pundits who get paid to copy my stuff and make money on it, including Limbaugh!
Harry Reid is no longer a relevant player.
Listen if your own supposed intelligence is the reason you want to cite for being hoodwinked by someone who is more interested in seeking political cover by turning over the decision to Obama than doing the things that need to be done and then accepting the political consequences, be my guest.
The only person you are outsmarting is yourself.
Wow. When conservatives are willing to believe this kind of tripe out of their leaders, we really don’t need the Obama’s of the world to lie to us.
We lie to ourselves. Good luck with that.
“Obama..writing...campaign year. Plan B is a non starter.How can it be an out?”
If you don’t understand it by now, then you probably won’t ever understand it.
Good luck. I’m late for a scheduled jog, trying to open you well-intentioned, but ultimately incorrect, people’s eyes.
Really, good luck. I hope McConnell is able to ultimately do something other than pass the buck and wreck Republican credibility with conservatives.
We’ll see.
Take your pick.
You can go back over the last couple of days and read ALL the posts on all the threads. At this point it sounds like your listening to a Ron Paul Rant.
scheduled jog...your husbands a lucky guy.
Oh. I forgot the /s.
Right because anyone who disagrees with you must either be stupid or a commie, right?
Ok.
Oh yeah, and I’ve been a leftwingtard disrupter for over 10 years on this site, and that’s what all my history of posts advocates for, right? Leftwingtard disruption?
And, this leftwingtard disrupter is advocating a more extremely right wing solution that you are.
Like I said before, good luck. Laters.
lol, that’s funny
But I don’t need personal attacks to make my point.
Later.
Get a life.
Gad!
Why did so many people not pick up on yesterday's discussions? The stories to day are all OLD NEWS.
Yep. Same thing I was told before we passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which also was supposed to solve all of our financial woes and save our country from going over the cliff. OK the doomsdayers got their way then and here we are again on the brink of economic ruin. I wonder if we were now into our third year of rebuilding our economy from the ground up, how much worse we would be?
OK - So we listen to our professional politicians and we kick the can again and Obama gets blamed and Republicans are heroes! Ha! I don't see it.
Save us the drama of continually hearing all of the US is falling into the sea again and let's REDUCE expenses, REDUCE taxes, and LOWER the debt limit. Radical...for sure, but their way has not worked and it is just burying all of us and our families into a deeper and deeper hole as we become the great entitlement nation.
Now here McConnell and Reid are talking about another damned commission. It's all they know how to do!
The Supreme Court had already ruled it, in general, UNCONSTITUTIONAL ~ I can put that in namspeak if you want but it shouldn't be necessary.
McConnell already knows that ~ but Obama doesn't, and apparently Harry Reid (who is gradually showing symptoms of having a serious stroke) and Nancy Pelosi got sucked right in ~ they forgot the lawsuits the Democrats filed against two Republican Presidents to prohibit the process as it was (more or less) described by McConnell.
So, your accusations that I was HOODWINKED by any of this is FAR FAR from the target. On the other hand your statement proves that you are probably out of your water on this particular topic.
I've neither recommended McConnell's proposal, nor opposed it. I've simply described it and put it and others like it into an historic context. There's nothing new here ~ particularly not if Thomas Jefferson had thoughts on the matter.
If you can't take it for someone to DISCUSS an issue without being a partisan one way or the other you really haven't got the spleen for much more discussion here.
The U.S. debt situation is far worse than anyone in Washington is willing to admit. We keep hearing calls for more, not less debt creation. But if people would stop kidding themselves and tally up all the many demands the U.S. government has against it, the actual debt-to-GDP ratio rises to something on the order of 400% – and even that is likely understating things. The fundamental flaws in the U.S. monetary system – flaws that have given license to the bureaucrats to smash the limousine of state straight into a wall – have required a remaking every 20 to 30 years or so. The problem is that there is pretty much nothing else that can be done to save the status quo at this point, and so the monetary system is likely to collapse. That means big changes ahead, including – or perhaps starting with – a poisonous ratcheting up of interest rates.

Shu-fly.
I was nonplussed by your theory yesterday when I read it.
Now go peddle your McConnell-love elsewhere.
There's no theory in the matter. It's a Constitutional issue ~ it's settled law. You cannot give appropriations authority to the President or involve him directly in the House process.
End of discussion.
We Republicans lost that battle years ago!
The McConnell bill will authorize a raise in the debt limit. Period.
;
It will not require the president to enter into any legislative responsibility.
.
It will not require the president to use the whole authorization, but he will.
There’s no constitutional issue here.
Congress does not have the authority to pass a law the defers subsequent legislative action to the action of the Executive.
The Supreme Court has ruled on the matter numerous times.
The constitution is what it is and says what it says it is ~ and there's a procedure in there on how LAWS ARE PASSED.
That's the one you have to follow. Extra constitutional trick bags are not authorized.
Now maybe you want to believe they are, but they're not.
