Can’t u tell by Bonehead’s silence. Silence speaks clearly sometimes.

"satisfying President Obamas demand to avoid another showdown over the issue in the heat of the 2012 presidential campaign." McConnell is an idiot to let Obama off the hook. Working overtime to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
HOLD THE LINE!!
Make the idiot Obama fight for every damn last dollar of Marxist spending right up to election day!!

Reid added: Im glad to see this move toward cooperation and compromise. I hope it bears fruit.Well, even without any details this is easy...
If that sick communist piece of sh!+ Reid is encouraged, then I am discouraged.
Kill the deal.

Won’t the house have to approve this?

“last-ditch deal”
The last ditch for Obama to drive America into.

“Wont the house have to approve this?”
Boehner will vote for it, along with the rest of the Republican “leadership”, and he’ll have how ever many more he needs walk the plank for him, yet again, to pass it. I think if enough House Dems are on board, it’s probably a done deal, unfortunately. (If it’s as disappointing a plan as it appears (IMHO), the only hope may be that enough Dems and Conservatives in the House vote no).

McConnell delivered a letter to Reid signed by 43 Republicans declaring their opposition to his version of the debt-limit bill. Four Republican senators did not sign the letter: Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska).The usual scumbags.

But there are dollar for dollar... cuts...

Good Lord. If we need to rely on McConnell, we are done.

If Mrs. Reid's little boy from Searchlight NV likes it then the TEA PARTY won't!!! (and neither will I)
This is probably part of the last ditch scenario that Obama and Reid and the democrat leadership got together on late today. I wish our side of the aisles could plot and scheme like that!!!
Their big scheme so far is to drive a wedge between the Republican Party and the Tea Party and then marginalize the Tea Party into oblivion. It's not been working because the American public is starting to watch after last November's landslide loaded with votes for cutting the size of our government!!!

Bonehead has already turned 47 out of the 57 Freshmen class on the first vote. How hard do u think it will be to turn them again? The answer, a lot easier than the first.
To: Lancey Howard
Kill the deal.
It was all pre-arranged weeks ago. Everything else has been a Kabuki Dance for entertainment value only.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
What a farce. Republican's give the commie scum another $2.4 trillion to spend without the possibility of checking (2/3's vote of both houses - give me a break!)
A pox on both your houses!

If we can believe the Post write up...we are going to get cuts and no tax increase.
We would not get that without the Tea Party,,,,,there are a demonstrated Force NOW!
WE need to increase their numbers in Nov 2012....so we can make even bigger rollbacks and kill Obama Care.
To: Qbert
i>(If its as disappointing a plan as it appears (IMHO), the only hope may be that enough Dems and Conservatives in the House vote no).
If Obama and the Dem Senate support the bill, then the Democrats in the House will vote for it en masse. Which means that 25 frightened liberal Republicans would put it over the top.
