The debt ceiling deal will pass the Senate early this afternoon. No suspense there. But the vote will be worth watching for another reason: Three Republican Senate sources tell TWS that senators who vote against the deal will be ineligible to serve on the so-called “supercommittee” for deficit reduction that the legislation creates

Conservatives are no longer welcome in the Republican party. That is what this means.
surprise.
So the RINO part bosses will stick it to conservatives again.
535 Congress men and women raped American taxpayers and voters yesterday. This is the Congress that governs our lives. They tell us how to pray, who to abort, what healthcare we must have and the type of energy we can use to generate electricity. You decide if these nuts are qualified to govern your life.
3 have done time for assault; 71 repeat.
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.
8 have been arrested for shoplifting.
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits.
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year.
The Haircut
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.
After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied,
‘I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank
you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the
barber again replied,
‘I cannot accept money from you , I’m doing community service this week.’
The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a ‘thank you’
card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill,
the barber again replied,
‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’
The Congressman was very happy and left the shop..
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen
Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the
citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME
REASON!
If you don’t forward this you have no sense of humor.
Nothing bad will happen, if you don’t.
Mitch McConnell has to go too.
But who would doubt McConnell?
Surely we can have every confidence in his every confidence.
This is the Senate. No word on whether this is true for House members, too. If so, frankly, we are in a civil war in the party. If I was in the House I would have demanded who the six Republicans were for this committee ahead of time.
It gets more sickening by the day.
And they say the Tea Party is a threat to GOP unity? Looks like the RINO establishment is pushing the Tea Party to split off.
Didn’t see that coming. /s
Short of posting a vanity, I’ve some questions as seems I missed something in the last 48 hours:
- What is the number of the bill as passed the House? link?
- Did it pass the Senate?
- Who replaced Paul Ryan with an imposter who, AFAIK, is praising a $2T debt _increase_ coupled with a pathetic $0.022T _reduction_in_spending_increase_?
Someone please explain what the he11 just happened. I missed something.
Cantor said on Fox last night that any Tax Increase was DOA in the house regardless of whether it came from the debt commission or not. However, Cantor is still claiming that he doesn’t believe the Commission has the authority to recommend tax increases, only spending cuts. He also said that he wasn’t particularly concerned about the House being forced to raise taxes on the threat of the “triggers”, because the triggered cuts didn’t go into effect until 2013, which would give republicans plenty of time to reverse the defense cuts in other bills.
Are these the latest statistics on them?
The primaries are the only place where we can win back the country, short of armed revolt.
IF true, it’s called “harball” politics.
Or if you like, hardball politics, or maybe hairball politics.
