Nothing like showing your cards D*&^head. Why bother negotiating at the end of the day they are getting a whopper. They are ltao (laughing their ass off)
I can honestly say that I have lost all confidence in the GOP to look out for the majority of American people and this country. I have simply concluded that we are all FRAKED, as with this country, period! =.=
Geez! So what say you (not you Qbert) all of those here who steadfastly defended this weakling?
Shooting themselves in the foot isn’t helping any.
It’s looking like when this garbage is over, Obama will be able to argue that he saved Social Security from the evil republicans.
I dunno. Boehner’s been ok til now - seems he understands pretty well. So, I’m not sure I’m willing to damn him yet.
First, I think the plan was ruled unconstitutional [i have no idea but i’ve read it on some of these threads - something about nixon and reagan?]
Second, considering he’s known the score throughout, it doesn’t follow that he would cave like this.
IMO something else is up. I hope.
AP Radio News just 0rgasmically announced that McConnell’s offer of one more dictatorial power to 0bama is pretty much a ‘done deal’.
Way to go Mitch, you, ....... (rhymes with name)
If they screw this up, I may just commit early to Palin if she runs on the hope that we can get some balls in this party. This cave is pathetic. They have the public behind them and Obama is imploding. Jeez.
Oxymorons....jumbo shrimp....military justice....open-minded liberal....Republican leadership.
Those Republicans that do not stand firm in protecting the citizens and the Nation from further crippling debt will lose their jobs in the next elections.
Hey Boehner, it don’t look good now and it still won’t look good anytime.
You and Mcconnell—tread lightly.
If you can’t do this one thing, you’re no good at anything, so
should we say bye-bye now?

Ask for John or Mitch.
CNN:
mitch says hello
Cantor does the talking
Boehner says nothing
The McConnell/McCain plan is tantamount to...
“Help me! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Honest to God, we have some of the lamest people in positions of power. It’s scarey how stupid these people are.
This is a plan to allow Obama to request a debt limit increase formally.
Congress and the Senate would have to block it by vote. (50% +1 margin? Not sure) If they did, he would be allowed to veto the bill and that would be it.
It gives the president the power to raise the debt limit unilaterally.
This McConnell, McCain, and now Boehner thinks either is or will be a great idea.
This is insufferably lame. It operates on the premise Obama will get all the credit for continuing to build debt. Screw the nation, but Obama will get blamed.
No he won’t. It will continue to be obvious that the Republicans caved. I’m going to be angry about it, and everyone else will be too.
Just damn!!!!
Boehner needs to get his freshmen in line and pass a $1.5 trillion in cuts for $1.5 trillion in debt ceiling increase. It sucks, I know, but it is the only way to put 0bama on the spot and make him feel and look like the loser. He’ll have to ask for more money right before the election. In the meantime, the House Republicans can pass bills over and over to cut spending between now and then.
I think Boehner may have done a good thing with his comments.
He telegraphed to Obama and Reid that he is not backing down a bit and the August 2 deadline is not going to change his mind (or, more correctly, he can’t get the Republican House to vote for new taxes).
He also knows that the McConnell plan is DOA in the House, but it LOOKS LIKE the Republicans are offering solutions, even though they are non-starters.
Mr. Boehner: Sir, You cannot polish a turd.
In a couple of weeks McConnells plan will still be a turd.
Republicans = clueless and gutless
