If you heard the call, boner was legal hedging the talk, so he was lying, parse his comments.
Audio clip at the site for Rush24/7 members.
Hear the last hour of Rush (on 2 hour delay) right now at:
http://www.whoradio.com/main.html
Click the listen live link at top left. Boehner calls in toward the end of the hour.
and rightly so.
If they cave in I’m done with the Republican party.
Turn out the lights I’m going home..........
When push comes to shove, Rush is a party hack. Never trust him!
S&P got behind the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill today. They say it will do everything that is required to keep us from defaulting. Call the senate hacks and earbeat them into capitulation.
SPEAKER BOEHNER: I'm concerned that we're getting into uncharted territory that could wreak great havoc on our nation, and I don't think it's necessary to get into that unknown zone
You never want to get into that "unknown zone" just keep raising the debt ceiling piling on that US Debt (thats what Moody's and China wants.) Then pass some bill about balance budget and spending cuts, that you will never honor.. Rinse and repeat. :-/
3 trillion in cuts with no new taxes seems like a pretty good deal to me. Of course we’d have to hear the edtails but it’s better than others that have been out there.
Depends on how the cuts work. Are they over 10 years and all backloaded or are there actually signifcant cuts next year?
This just shows how powerful Rush is that Boehner makes a beeline right to him to put out the fire.
Boehner: “Well here's the bottom line, friend. My rock bottom price I'll let this beauty go for is $20,000. Take it or leave it. But, well, if you decide you're going to leave it... I've got a back-up price. But I really really think you should take my rock bottom price... it's what's right for both of us!”
If you don't make it clear you're willing to deal with the consequences of walking away from the table... YOU DON'T BELONG AT THE TABLE!!!
3 Trillion a Year and NO tax increase,Maybe but I heard a trillion in tax increases!
If you mean unchartered territory is they don’t know how to stop spending.
Hey Boehner; you learned to spend; you can learn to cut.
Just another POS setting us up before they sell us out again.
Boehner calls Rush because his phones are ringing off the hook with protests.
So, finally, our representative government works like it’s supposed to. We vote for representation not smarts. If they had smarts they would do something honorable rather than be politicians.
I read that transcript and it sounds to me as if Boehner is hedging and lying all the way through. In the end, he has not really said anything.
At least this call suggests that he is worried about the consequences of caving—to himself, if not our country.
But basically he tries to take the heat off himself without really saying anything.
You can bet Boehner knows Rush is more than just an “entertainer”. :)
and that if he can get you to act in any way that can be portrayed as a cave that he wins, and that’s what people are deathly afraid of.”
Well, at least Rush gets it!!!
Does Boehner? Well, we’ll see.
As posted before, if Boehner doesn’t cave and Obama does, Obama loses (liberals get mad).
If Boehner doesn’t cave, and Obama doesn’t either, Obama loses (default, independents permanently walk away).
Hopefully Rush spelled that out with sufficient clarity such that Boehner understands....
So whch is it:
Boehner says hes prepared GOP to compromise on debt

RUSH: Well, a lot of people are concerned that you are his lifeline to reelection and that that’s how he sees you, and that if he can get you to act in any way that can be portrayed as a cave that he wins, and that’s what people are deathly afraid of.
SPEAKER BOEHNER: Rush, I’m trying to do what I taught my kids to do; the same thing my parents taught me to do: You do the right things for the right reasons, good things will happen.
I call BULL$HIT!
BONER: Pardon me?
In my opinion, that was the scary part of the conversation. Boner heard exactly what Rush said, and yet felt the need to say 'pardon me' to buy time to come up with an answer. Mighty slippery there, Mr. Boner. I hope for your and the country's sake you are not blowing smoke.
Instead of cutting a deal the Republicans should pass a bill mandating that interest payments be made, Social Security payments and Medicare payment be made and Military pay and benefits be paid out of current income. Any leftover income should be paid proportionateley to the various government departments.
Make the Democrats vote against protecting our credit rating, Social security and our military.
