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

Freeper interested in real facts, instead of merely looking at this bill as excuse to push their 3rd party dogmas, should read the attached link.

RINO Backstabber Boehner:
“When the Tea Party and GOP finally discover
my capitulation raises the ceiling by trillions,
prevents conservatives from even being on the SuperCommittee,
allows us to call the tax increases 'fees',
and even funds increases in Obamacare,
it will be they who will be crying.”
When is McConnell’s term up??
You would be wise to learn the facts rather then continue to carelessly repeat disinformation.

Hey, Congress was eager to bend over backward and do it for him!
Seriously, one way entrenched powers deal with an organizational threat such as an opposing group gaining seats on a managing committee is to set up a smaller, safe ‘executive committee’. (Another way is to dilute the original committee with additional members, but that’s kind of hard to do with Congress.)
Do NOT spam me with your propaganda, you hallucinating security lahsa apso for the Menshevik Party.
Your cheerleader’s skirt is NOT seductive.

They say this crap but the truth is when the next debt limit ‘crisis’ arises they will have the same reasoning to just push through whatever comes out of the super duper spending committee because otherwise the economy will blow up and no one wants that. I just don’t trust them. They are gaming us.
Well that’s 70% of the party. There’s not much of a Republican party left without conservatives.
Well...Then it just might be time to split off and start a Conservative Party. There should be enough Blu-Dogs Dems, conservative Repubs and Tea Party favorites to have an immediate impact in both houses of congress. The two party system no longer works. F***off the Democrat AND Republicans. You no longer serve the taxpaying public!
The photo really does tell the whole story about Republican “leadership”. The body language at that table could not be more clear.
Well that’s 70% of the party. There’s not much of a Republican party left without conservatives.

No there is not. The husk of Statists left behind with the letterhead stationary will eventually merge with the Democrats.
Soon I hope!
Thank you, Sir, may I have another?
It’s really simple. The bill will pass the Senate today no matter how Rand Paul or any other fiscal conservatives vote.
Vote FOR it in order to be eligible to be on that 12 person panel.
The so-called commission is unconstitutional. Congress cannot sherk their consitutional duties. This commission is not set up ans a joint committee under existing rules of both houses. All those against it should file with the supreme court to have it recinded.
No way that I send one thin dime to the GOP. I may even vote for the Libertarian candidate in 2012.
