Brown says it’s “time to move our country forward?”

Translation: It’s time to puss out and be the liberal I really am!!!!!

I thought all bills had to originate from the House. How can Reid create a bill and vote on it in the Senate that never came from the House?

Reid doesn’t want them to support it.

The democrats wanting you to kick the can down the road,
is like the Taliban telling a 8 year old boy to
“Step on this bottle.”.

“Republican” democrat-Lite types: “We need to move the country forward, even if we have to do it by, uh, moving backward.”

We're standing on the edge of a cliff and he wants to take a step forward.
Bad idea.

Senate Democrats have promised to reject Boehner's plan, which would only extend the nation's borrowing authority for another six months. Democrats say it would be unwise to re-create the debate over the debt ceiling and deficit reduction again, just before Christmas.

How about Senate/House Republicans promising to reject the Old Lady from Nevada's plan?!

Geez. Grow a pair of BALLS, Scott Brown.

“I voted for cut, cap, and balance,’” Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts said today, in reference to the House Republicans’ initial debt limit plan.

And how was that? The bill was tabled in the Senate and never came up for a real vote on the actual bill.

Here’s a better idea, grow a pair Scott.

Makes you think Senate Republicans suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.

Can’t expect him to tell the truth about that vote. The press isn’t, why should he?

Headlines that surprise no one:

Senate Sells out Conservatives!
“We need to reach across the aisle” says McCain.

As was Brownback during the immigration amnesty debates a few years back.

Pretty much a bunch of corrupt derelicts over there in Washington. Best to disassociate from them.

I hope the American people and their government representatives do not forget this August 2 deadline was just set for such a mockery as this (unless everyone is now believing Timothy Geithner).

It is only when those voting begin to believe the lies and do all kinds of things because they feel scared is when they will do the wrong thing.

You tell us not to be led astray by fear tactics that the Dems dish out on Republicans wanting to kill Social Security. Now Republican Representatives and Senators, you follow suit!

STAND FIRM.
