It’s suspected that Boeher’s staff and Reid’s staff has been working with each other all along.
I has become SO fashionable for Boehner and the rest of establishment GOP elites to snub and humiliate Tea Party members that they can’t go back on it now.
There will not be a reasonable and effective Tea Party compromise.
As such, given the rhetoric from both libtards and RINOs concerning the Tea Party, the Tea Party will continue to be vilified. =.=
The only “balanced budget amendment” going around in DC, would not require them to balance the budget.
Obama must be almost astounded that he could bring this country to the “brink” in 2.5 years. He probably thought “TRANSFORMING AMERICA” would take longer.
Unfortunately, there will be compromise and in the end, we are all going to be screwed. Obama will get his raised debt ceiling and new or increased taxes, and the spending cuts will be few and far between. In the end, nothing will be solved and the mess will continue on and on for generations to come.
Unless he compromises with them, the Tea Party members and their sympathizers must fight to make sure that Boehmer doesn't get the votes.
They have to force him to compromise.
Unless there is compromise, we will, in next year's primaries, go after any congressman who votes for the Boehmer plan.
Tell Boner to get his ass in line or it will be ours.
HOLD THE LINE!
No retreat! No Surrender! No compromise! No deal! Hold the line!
We don’t need to raise the debt ceiling. We need to put Obama and Co. on a tight leash. The House doles out the cash. The House can appropriate and release the funds at the appropriate times so that we can make the obligated payments without defaulting and without raising the debt ceiling. And the democrat senate and the president had damn well better go along with said appropriations when made or all hell will come down on their heads.
We don’t want and don’t need a super committee. Why cede away our constitutional power?
I’m not asking for any across the board percentage cuts. Just cut the fat and the pork for now. And cut the automatic increases! Start by a abolishing ObamaCare!
Do not raise the debt ceiling! We’re already too far into debt. More debt only makes the problem worse.
Hold the line on spending!!
If the Tea Party members and their sympathizers can stand firm and not give Boehner the votes, the RINOs and Democrats won't have any choice.

I owe 92,000 Dollars.
My kids each owe $92,000 dollars and they have yet to start life.
This figure does not include any increases.
Does not include our annual tax obligations.
The compromise is default.
Since not one elected politician will ever cut any program , the compromise is to cut 100% of all programs.
Before I put all blame on the dems and Obama but at this point Boehner's going to have to take blame too... he's enjoying the spotlight so much he does not want to force the dems to accept any of the plans already voted on. I say LET OBAMA VETO the US into default if that's what Obama's going to do anyways.
Pass CCB, that is our compromise. Nothing fancy. CCB was a compromise solution
BOEHNER IS A COWARD. A CRYING COWARD. He is now threatening conservatives, trying to threaten our own people. He has unleashed the rinos to attack the tea party once again. Boner has told every one of his minions to fly and attack conservatives. I am PISSED OFF about West. That guy ....
He was rolled the last time, so his caucus is skeptical. Additionally, come Tuesday or whenever the money runs out, the US will have a balanced budget, since they can not borrow any more. So the GOP has little incentive to take a bad deal like the budget deal of spring.
There is a price to pay for taking a bad deal the last time. You lose credibility when you do. You may be willing to take another bad deal, but your caucus may not be so willing.
I hate to say it, but I don’t think this plan is much better than Boehner’s plan.
Making insufficient cuts, with the biggest to be delayed for 5 or 10 years, just doesn’t make sense. We are way deeper in the hole than than.
We need to make cuts now, and then if we win in 2012 we need to make further cuts.
What’s wrong with the bill that congress has already passed and sent to the Senate? Boehner should have stuck with that, and told the Senate to work with it, instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
You don’t go into a compromise agreement by compromising before the bargaining has even begun. Boehner has given the Dems 3/4 of what they wanted even before Reid takes it and puts all his own stuff back in. Cap Cut and Balance makes more sense.
Cut Cap and Balance WAS a compromise.
if i hit my credit limit, with a huge debt,
the bank won’t give me 10 years to balance my budget!
CC&B ADDED trillions to the debt!

Lower the Debt Ceiling
Ludwig von Mises Institute ^ | July 215, 2011 | Mark Thornton
“When President Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971, the national debt was $400 billion. The increase in the national debt last year alone was four times the entire debt in 1971.”
“... but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, ...” - George Washington
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.”
- Thomas Jefferson
That's why I proposed that they vote on one nine months from now -- a new, hopefully more meaningful, Balanced Budget Amendment created in the House.
The Senate would openly debate it, then vote up or down on it (several months before the November elections.)
