The super committee does it for me. I do not care what else is or is not in the bill. A super committee is the reason to kill this and any other bill.

spending by only $1.2 trillion over the next ten years.

In fact today the official congressional analysis said the plan would produce less than $1 trillion in spending cuts over the coming decade.

Boss Hogg (Haley Barbour) has been making calls all day in support of Boneheads plan. Of course, this was before the CBO scores came out and once again, like the CR Deal, the numbers don’t match what Bonehead and Cantor have been saying. Allen West and Paul Ryan must feel like fools for supporting this sham, before the CBO numbers came out. This trickery will not set well with conservatives.
They know now, they cannot trust Bonehead and Cantor.

The Grand Old Bastards are playing footsie with the Democrats again and selling us out. Again.

My theory is this is about a power struggle between RINOs and Tea Party.

Karl Rove is in the background orchestrating Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush signaled he could run in the future.

Demint has been very vocal about Boehner’s closed door shenanigans.

A lot of people thought CCB was just a ploy to placate the base BEFORE Boehner pulled the Asian Market Emergency stunt.

They've had a last chance. They blew it and are already dead. This is what it looks like.

Radio "conservative" talking head Laura Ingraham was kissing Boehner's ass all during the lead in to her program today earlier. She even dissed Senator Demint. Talk about disappointed. Last time I buy any of HER books.

Zing!!

LEVIN SURGE! Call 202.224.3121 Tell HOUSE AND SENATE to CUT SPENDING NOW! No Support for the Boehner plan, The McConnel Plan or the Reid Plan. We want our military, vets and SS paid. We want Cut Cap and Balance brought up again. Work on the 3 Democrats in the Senate to vote yes and then get it put on Obama's desk for signature.

Now Boehner says, "we tried to cooperate with Harry and even proposed his bill in the House, but it won't pass so we need to go back to the original bill or work out a new compromise with Senators interested in a realistic solution.

Boehner will say that since Reid couldn't deliver a realistic compromise that he's going to work with Demint to get democrat support for a realistic bill that will pass in both the House and the Senate.

This is the opportunity to break a group of democrat Senators off from the democrat leadership in the Senate. To have the Senate repeatedly vote down anything that can pass in the House is a death sentence for democrat Senators who aren't from totally leftist states. The Senate will end up accepting and passing a compromise that is almost identical to the original bill but with more cuts. That will lay the whole thing in the lap of little Barry who will have a tantrum and veto it. After that, the democrat party will dissolve into an every man for himself scramble.

JMHO

“Boehner was so close to doing the right thing. He seemed firm on the principles. He sounded strong. He sounded confident. He had the support of his party's base behind him. The president had a weak TV appearance. Boehner had a strong TV appearance. Everything looked like it was going great.

But I guess he decided to throw that all away.”

His spine fell through his A$$hole and took his stones with it. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Damn RINO!

Graham will vote “no” when he knows it won’t pass anyway. I want to know how he’d vote if he was the tie-breaker.

A friend just emailed me that the word in DC is that @JeffFlake is “a firm no” on Boehner’s plan.

You’re right, Jim.

Why can’t someone propose a bill that reduces EVERY department, every agency, every D.C. offices annual spending by just 1%?(for starters)

One lousy percent.

IRS, Post office, FDA, State, FBI,ATF,Secret Service, etc.,etc.

Corporations do this to their departments routinely. I’d like to see the dollar numbers on potential savings.
