The "mom in tennis shoes" speaks;)

[ScottinVA]

The Repubs have already compromised their no-tax principle. Dowdy Mom in Tennis Shoes might want to explain that one further.

[Jim Scott]

It's painfully obvious that whatever this unconstitutional committee agrees on will do little or nothing to actually reduce the deficit but it will screw the taxpayers with higher rates and/or the loss of income tax deductions. Government spending will be 'cut' microscopically, if at all, and we'll hear 'bi-partisan' bandied about as if that somehow justifies increasing the humongous federal deficit while piling on more taxes in a very bad economy. I have zero respect for this dog-and-pony show being performed by congress for the benefit of the taxpayers who actually believe they won't be screwed, again. They're playing us, as always.

[Nat Turner]

And how are you supposed to compromise with an alcoholic on their drinking problem or a drug addict with their substance abuse...This is more liberal double-speak, as they are trying to keep their precious progressivism and statist policies alive in the face of bitter financial reality. Good luck with that one!

[Brookhaven]

In other words: the GOP needs to make the all the proposals, so the Democrats can sit back and attack them.

Patty wouldn’t know “fair” if it hit her in the face.

The libs will spend every nickle in added revenue twice!

If they had a goose that laid golden eggs, they’d set the egg on the shelf and carve up the goose!

[Paperdoll]

The ommies in her state, and believe me there are plenty of them, keep voting this ding bat back in. We must vote the career politicians OUT of Congress, both the House AND the Senate! Impose term limits to Congress with no pensions!

We also need to go back to the way we used to vote at the polls, with human beings counting the ballots! Until we do, how do we know what votes are counting and what votes are not! Computers are rigged. A Republican and a Democrat should both count the ballots and recount them until they tally. Also, Validity of the voter must be tightened.

Murray: Debt Panel Democrats Waiting On GOP Compromise Surrender There fixed it for you

The "mom in tennis shoes" Stupidest Person in Congress speaks

[Truth29]

Will Boehner and McConnell sell out the country to claim a bipartisan compromise? I think we are going to be sold down the river.

[capt. norm]

You know about how serious they were when they formed it with Sen. Patty Murray on it.

Senator Max Baucus, Democrat, Montana, was raised on the family’s Seiben Sheep Ranch near Helena, MT. One day, Max’s Dad took the pickup out to look for young Max. He turned the corner by the barn, and saw Max furiously humping a ewe.
“Max!”, his father screamed. “Get in the truck!”
They raced in to town and parked in front of the post office. People were lined-up around the block to get into the post office.
“There!”, said Max’s Dad. “Have sex with one of those people!”
Max was confused.
“Why one of these people, Dad?”
“Because”, Max’s Dad explained, “Today is April 15th and the only people lined up at the post office on April 15th are people who have to pay their taxes.”
“So?” asked little Max.
“So we’re Democrats and we screw the taxpayers. Leave the sheep for the libertarians.”

Day 48 Of The FReepathon
Do you Know Why?

There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?

1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.

Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

Support It Or Lose It

[Lancey Howard]

It astonishes me to imagine that the Republicans would agree to tax hikes (any at all would be suicidal) even as they bend over and, by default, take the blame for “cuts” in medicare, social security, education, etc. The scumbag Democrats are home free no matter what the outcome of this laughingstock “Super Committee”.

This is one of the most baffling exercises in political self-immolation by Republicans I have ever witnessed.
