Relax everyone, it's all ok. Reid said he will shoot down anything sent from the House so not only does the debt ceiling not get increased but also Reid owns the “default”.
The House can literally walk away knowing they passed 2 bills and with clean hands. It hands it right back to the Rats to own.

The underlying assumption in all of this is:

"YOU CANNOT STOP THIS SPENDING SPREE ON A DIME."

The truth is you have to stop this spending spree on a dime.

There is no middle ground to insolvency.

Soberly facing insolvency with honesty is a single moment of truth.

I think it as with the CR. It's all theater. They know exactly who will vote yea and who will vote nay and who will switch if need be to make it look close. Paul Ryan said on the floor of the House that everything in the bill was agreed to by Repuklicans and Democrats in the Senate and all the talk was meaningless since the compromise was decided. In other words, Wimpy caved when all he had to do after CCB was KEEP HIS F'N MOUTH SHUT AND PUT IT ON THE DEMOCRATS. Boehner needs to read his own remarks. He told us while he was caving on the CR that he controls 1/2 of the 3 branches or government. Which means Mr. Dumba$$ Speaker, you should demand that the other half of the Legislative Branch and the Executive Branch write down a plan acceptable to the People's House. What an empty suit. Why do we even think we will ever have a chance until the elitist Republican establishment is rooted out or put in the minority. Hope those new knee pads fit well, Mr. Speaker.

Look, all our huffing and puffing, rah rah rah, Boehner should do this, I don’t care, blah blah blah isn’t helpful. What really matters are two things:

1. Not attacking the debt at all, which we all know this bill does none of that.
2. Not coming out looking like the R’s caused damage that Obama and his press can blame successfully on the R’s.

So, point is, I’m fine criticizing Boehner, but acting like brats here and saying, I don’t care if it gets shot down is just silly and immature. We have to call our reps, call Boehner, and let them know how we feel...saying you already did that DOES NOT COUNT...do it again!

Vote canceled for tonight, as per Greta.

I think I know why there is a delay. They’re all getting their last minute pork tack-on line items ready. Could be exciting, you know, stuff like.... a new MagLev Railway between Butte and Omaha.
