I suspect Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell are in close contact and that they are playing this very well.
That would be a first. I still don't trust them.. especially McConnell.
“I suspect Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell are in close contact and that they are playing this very well.”
That’d be a first! Wish I could believe the same...
“I actually think McConnell knows exactly what he’s doing: offering a psuedo-solution to the problem, but one that he knows Obama won’t accept.
I suspect Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell are in close contact and that they are playing this very well.”
That’s what I’m afraid of and what I’ve posted earlier. These guys just want cover for the election. They just want to say that they voted for cut, cap & balance. After that they’ll support anything the RINOS/WH send their way. This is politics at its worst.
We need to make it clear through phone calls, emails, talk shows everything, that this will NOT stand. These guys need to fight if they want ANY support in 2012.
None of this “I voted against it before I voted for it” bull
While about 50% of GOP senators have come ou against McConnell's plan B, the one who has been very quiet about it is Rand Paul. The prototype Tea party senator, by many recent reports, he and Mitch are working very well together. Paul normally isn't shy about about inveighign against legislation he detests, yet he's been very quiet about this..
we shall see..
Playing it very well? You mean kicking the beaten-up can down the road even further to advance their own political careers?
We want solutions to the problem, not political maneuvers. This is what people are sick of, it’s what people see thru. This is what failed Newt. The Dems, with help from the media, own our asses in the political arena. The only thing we can do is the RIGHT thing and let the chips fall where they may.
“I suspect Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell are in close contact and that they are playing this very well.”
I don’t believe that beaten dogs suddenly become predatory wolf packs.
The old, failed, steeped in submission nomenklatura needs to go.
Yes, and there is much more to come.
The MSM and regrettably too many conservative commentators just dismiss the Senate response to House-passed legislation as "it won't pass the Senate."
That is NOT the point. With every step of strategery, the House is going to force vulnerable Senate RATS (Tester, Manchin, Sherrod Brown, both Nelsons, McCaskill, etc) to vote on many things they abhor politically. If they vote with the GOP, they infuriate Reid, Obama, and their fundraising Left. If they vote with Obama, they infuriate their constituents in 2012 -- these are all red states with Obama at the top of the ticket. Bottom line: Reid cannot protect them, so let's bring it on. All of it.
Say good night to Tester, both Nelsons, McCaskill, and hopefully Manchin and Sherrod Brown, as well.
Keep all the phone calls going to Capitol Hill both GOP and Dem members - House and Senate. It matters. TEL 202-224-3121.
