“In the far future Boehner will not be known however these 22 may very well be remembered via a memorial to freedom.”
Well said. I saw the Congressman from South Carolina (Gowdy) last night on CNN with John King. He said he would gladly give up being reelected to achieve systemic reform, that is: a Balanced Budget Amendment. He said he had promised not to raise the debt ceiling and that he would only do so if the quid pro quo was a BBA. He had voted for Cut, Cap and Balance and he considered that a compromise, one last raise in the debt ceiling in return for a BBA.
Gowdy reminded me of a cross between Audie Murphy and the great actor, Barry Pepper, who played Joe Gallagher in “We Were Soldiers” and who was the psalm quoting sniper PVT Jackson in Saving Private Ryan.
“In the far future Boehner will not be known however these 22 may very well be remembered via a memorial to freedom.”
This sounds like wishful thinking to these naive ears. We all know that SOME kind of “deal” will be made, regardless of who votes for or against it! It’s not like they’re going to just STOP ALL SPENDING AND LET OUR CREDIT RATING GO ALL TO HELL, and even if they did, how in heck would THAT solve anything?, let alone enhance America’s “freedom”?
More likely than not, the evil Hungarian will have some “say” in what ultimately occurs—and HE more than anyone probably stands to GAIN because he’s so adept at BETTING AGAINST PEOPLE AND NATIONS WHO ARE IN A VULNERABLE POSITION.
