There are no CUTS.
I called this months ago. The Democrats deliberately sabotaged the Supercommittee by filling it with hardcore socialists like Clyburn. They wanted no moderates anywhere near the Supercommittee. They needed it to fail.
They wanted a complete failure so they could (with the help of their friends in the media) blame it all on “Republican intransigence” with the added bonus of having several USN carrier groups get axed.
They hate, hate, hate America.
What do you expect, with a committee that contains Max Bacus, and that dummy Senator from WashingtonPatty Murry, they could not run a beer concession for a Sunday School Picnic
The Establishment Repubs---specifically Mitch McConnell---were the ones who came up with this travesty in order to undermine Cut, Cap, & Balance and get around the TEA Party Freshmen in the House.
Sen. McConnell Promises Super Committee Will "Focus On Entitlements"
Super Committees First Meeting Tomorrow: Failure Is Not an Option
'Cut, cap and balance' unlikely to end debt ceiling struggle
RSC Chair Shoots Down McConnell Plan
McConnell Outlines Three-Step Debt Contingency Plan
Conservatives Torn Over McConnell's Debt-Ceiling Plan B
Reid and McConnell Work on Debt Deal
Reid, McConnell Craft Hybrid Option (The McConnell Plan gets even worse)
From the last link:
"The plan, which is being hatched by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), would ensure that over $1.5 trillion in cuts over ten years be passed into law. It would also grant President Obama the authority to extend the debt ceiling through the 2012 election season while requiring him to propose but allowing him to ultimately veto cuts beyond those initial $1.5 trillion.
Additionally, the deal would create a new deficit commission compromised solely of lawmakers who would be tasked with finding additional savings in the budget. The commissions recommendations would be given automatic, amendment-free votes in both chambers of Congress.
Now McConnell and Boehner got what they wanted and it will be back to business as usual on the Hill.
Anybody who is surprised by the failure of the “supercommittee” please go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done. The left never gives in, and the right is sick of giving in.
When the geniuses on both sides of the isle loaded up the committee with the biggest ideologues they could find, what the heck did they expect.
It was a setup to fail deliberately.
We need to call for the immediate resignation of all members of the Supercommittee and the Congressional leaders who appointed them. In business, if I were given extraordinary responsibility (and authority) to perform a critical task and I failed miserably, I would be fired.
I see no downside for calling for the resignation of all committee members, Boehner, Reid, Pelosi and McConnell. None of them are worth the powder to blow them to hell - but, I’ll make an exception, this time! Fire in the hole!
“- - - So.. was this all just for show?”
Jazz Shaw, you, like the RINOS in Congress, are to nice a person to write or be in politics.
Let me ‘splain it to you. Obama needed a major divisive issue to campaign with. Bolsheviks Princess Nancy and Reid set up Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell and Boenher with a gang-of-12 that would insure a deadlock as a final result.
The Bolsheviks plan worked to perfection, as nothing will be done, and the Obamanator can then campaign against a do-nothing Congress.
Still to confusing for you? Let me try again.
The Bolsheviks in the US Federal Government want to re-create America in their own image. Thus they will ALWAYS try to REGULATE, CONTROL, AND DESTROY anything that opposes them.
Now pretend that you believe me, and re-write your article.
Super stupid and super unconstitutional. Let it fail and thank God. There is no way those automatic triggers will be allowed to go into effect. Basically this whole thing with the debt bill and the super committee and spending cuts was one big scam by both parties. Once again the american public has been had.
“The Establishment Repubs-—specifically Mitch McConnell-—were the ones who came up with this travesty in order to undermine Cut, Cap, & Balance and get around the TEA Party Freshmen in the House.”
Yep. Thanks for the links- I remember that last one all too well (I posted it).
It was all planned so Obama could try to run against congress and not his record, his base will eat it up, the the republicans are the cause of all this.
Super surprise to only the super stupid.
I am sure we will see a super-duper committee formed
to handle the mess left behind by the super committee.
The only thing I hate worse than a republican is a democrat.
