It was dumb two days ago. Apparently these folks are clueless as to what is actually happening.
Are these the fools which gave cover to one NY RAT to screw up that special election and allow another RAT to scurry into the Congress?
You need your hearing checked.
ho hum...vastly old news
Settle down.
The Boehner offer was for REVENUE INCREASE. It was the same sort of game playing done by spending in the past. It is revenue increases PRESUMED to result from GDP growth. Not from changes in tax rates or any other sort of increase in tax application. It was PRESUMED increase in revenues from economic growth. This is entirely legit and almost worked.
The Dem hard core types pounded Obama last night so he moved the goal posts today.
Sean has always been a bush licker, that is GW. Sean needs to get a clue.
That’s why Boehner left. Boehner’s increased revenue was from assumed economic growth - i.e. a rising tide lifts all boats.
I could believe that if I didn’t know better. But I’ll lay off Boehner and take your word for it that the new revenues are what you say.
Still, why not tell Obama and the LSM that cut,cap,balance is the compromise and the final offer?
In this game the fist one to say ‘my way or the highway’ loses, especially if it is a Republican.
Tea Party Nation. Conmen and Stormfront wannabees.
The group was created by former Shelby County, Tennessee assistant district attorney Judson Phillips in 2009.[3] It runs a social networking site for conservative activists[4] and is best known for organizing the 2010 National Tea Party Convention.
Phillips has advocated rolling back the voting rights of Americans so that only property owners would be allowed to vote.
Tea Party Nation organized the National Tea Party Convention held February 46, 2010.[6] Around 600 activists attended the event,[7] and Sarah Palin was featured as the keynote speaker. The event was criticized for its $549 ticket price,[8][9][10][11] as well as the fact that Palin was apparently paid $100,000 USD for her appearance.[12] Palin has said she will donate the fee to unspecified conservative causes.[13]
Several prominent conservative organizations refused to participate in the event due to its for-profit nature. The Tea Party Patriots advised members not to participate in December 2009.[14] Erick Erickson of the conservative blog RedState.com described the convention as “scammy” on January 11.[15] The American Liberty Alliance (ALA), initially a co-sponsor, withdrew its support on January 13.[16] Later in January, Michele Bachmann and Marsha Blackburn cancelled their plans to speak.[17]
A subsequent convention was booked for the following July, postponed until October, and ultimately cancelled. On July 18, 2011 the Venetian Casino Resort filed suit for unpaid bills allegedly totaling $642,144.

The Tea Party needs to think about what they are doing. Republicans are only in control of one house of Congress. The other two are controlled by the Democrats. Let Boehner the Republicans get the best deal they can get for now, then go full tilt to take control of Senate and President. Then with control of all 3 branches, spending and debt can be controlled. If the Tea Party continues to threaten, the Dems may keep control of the Senate and President, and take by the House. Then they will not like what happens with another 4 years of Obama and his minions.
Who, what, where, why?
Zero tolerance for marxists in US Congress.
Simple message, apparently complicated delivery.
I hope the right people will send him a note of thanks and encourage him to stay strong and hold BO’s feet to the fire.
“....that put Republicans in charge of the lower chamber last year.”
Excuse Me, I didn’t know we had a “lower chamber”. Did you?
To the contrary, McConnell is helping to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by undermining the House bill.
By offering liberals an alternative to point at he bolsters the message democrats are spinning that the house bill is too radical to warrant serious consideration.
In effect, he and the republicans on the Gang of Six have been helping democrsts by splitting the republican effort. We have republicans negotiating against republicans.
McConnell is a RINO piece of crap. He should have been gone long ago. Just his anti-Second Amendment votes should have sent him home. Now he’s trying to undercut the conservatives who are working to get our nation on sound financial footing.
It’s a darn shame he doesn’t have to run in 2012 so he could be replaced with a conservative.
Oh, my goodness!!! In attempting to be clever in criticizing McConnell, my lame reversal of the term was not intended. Of course, you are correct, and you have said precisely what was intended. Thanks.
Just took a couple of days of pressure and bonehead, decided to ‘see the light’ or was he reading the Tea Leaves come ‘12.
Let his days in office be few, and a REAL CONSERVATIVE LEADER take his place.
Mantra is REFORM, CUT, and NO MORE TAXES. You just can’t cut you have to root out stupid programs eliminate them, REFORM the 45+ years of donor palm greasing that has driven up the cost of each program yearly.
First one on the list, High way beautification via Lady Bird Johnson...TN share is half a Mil a year, multiple that times 50 and it is a hefty chunk of change.
There is a list some where on FR with all the useless programs that can be eliminated, please someone find and post it again.
