awwww crap...
Bad link, no image.
“Harry Reid will amend John Boehners plan and include parts of Reids own plan that make tax increases even more likely than Boehners already does.’
Rush hasn’t discovered a trap. Everyone knows this is the process, whether we like it or not.
The brilliant political alternative is to send no bill at all?
1/3 cannot trump 2/3.
“If Boehner can pass ANYTHING which cuts any spending and limits the debt ceiling increase to LESS then the spending cuts it is a win and a starting place.”
But he can’t and isn’t. Do you not know that HE CANNOT BIND A FUTURE CONGRESS?????
The cuts in the future are MEANINGLESS. He can’t enforce it. Smoke and Mirrors.
So either you are clueless or you really know it and are pretending Boehner’s plan is something it is not.
They HAVE sent their bill...it is CCB! They should do no more...
Yes, the plan SHOULD have been to send nothing and give Demint a chance to get his 4 votes. But Boehner tried to scare the House.
This link you posted looked like a pretty much Wanker Liberal/Regressive site to me.
A Liberal site??? I suggest you do more research.
That picture says it all. He doesn’t even NEED to stab Bonehead in the back. Because he’s a... Bonehead.
If the Boner plan looks like it won’t get enough republican votes to pass the house then at the last minute enough dems will decide to vote for it so it can get sent to the house.
Looks like the trap will be set...no matter how many tea party house members decide to vote no.
Only way out of this trap is for all the repubs to vote no...but alas there are too many rinos and dems so we are screwed. :-(
Since the measure will pass the house no matter what then all good conservatives need to vote NO! Let the dems and rinos be solely responsible for this travesty. Tea party members need to hold the line here or they will look like traitors come 2012.
“Yes, the plan SHOULD have been to send nothing and give Demint a chance to get his 4 votes.”
Lotsa luck with that.
I have to hand it to the Democrats. I despise them. But they know how to hold the line.
Republicans are the party that caves.
“I am starting to wonder if staffers for Boehner and Reid are not actually working together,....”
Duh!!!
The primary objective of any conservative in federal office right now is (or should be) to completely sabotage the lefts agenda at every opportunity.
Control of the house is not enough to “fix” what the socialists have done to us. Control of all three branches of the fedgov is not enough to fix what has been corrupted, because its never by a large enough margin and there are always socialist repubs ready willing and able to betray us.
The “FIX” is going to come from the states via the 10th ammend. The ONLY job the GOP needs to get done in the fedgov is to cripple the lefts agenda and the fedgov.
F’em
I agree. Even better, send a straight up, simple and easy to understand balanced budget amendment to the Senate and then adjourned the house.
Make the Democrats explain why the don’t want to balance the budget.
While it probably is a trap - the jaws won’t close unless the House decides to step in it. If the Senate changes it, it has to go back to the House.
It’s too late for CCB. Boehner screwed the pooch on that one.
Notice that Reid tabled it instead of voting on it? He could have done the exact same thing he is about to do with Boehner’s bill. But he didn’t.
I hope Demint does something to stop Boehner’s bill from getting out of the Senate.
