The libs don’t think it’s a failure. This is exactly what they wanted to happen.

They get their massive defense cuts.

This morning, Sen. Kerry on MTP and Rep. Xavier Becerra on FNS used the term ‘everything is on the table’.

Rep. Xavier Becerra basically said the Dems are content with allowing the Super Committee to default to the August agreement, unless they can come up with a better plan [translation: more taxes, more spending].

The Dems will use the failure of the Super Committee the same way they are using the failure of the Jobs Bill: To place the blame on the obstructionist Republicans are the cause of the failure.

This whole fiasco was planned to fail. The cuckolds and worthless people that are the majority in Congress wouldn’t have it any other way. The only guy who seems genuinely concerned about the condition of the US economy is Toomey. The rest just don’t want to ruffle any feathers. If we can’t get more sensible people like Toomey in this go round, we are doomed.

The GOP should make one last offer then pass it as a bill in the House make the Senate responsible for cuts or credit rating downgrade,

One revenue measure could be 10% flat tax on repatriated money. Enhanced revenue with a tax cut.

Did anyone with a pulse really expect something from this charade?

With a pulse? Yes. With at least one functioning brain cell? No.

Recently while the democrats controlled both houses, there was no budget passed for more than a year, at least. I’m not even sure they even proposed one. But it is all the republicans fault as they tell it. And now it is fixed so no budget will kick in until after the coming elections.

We are so screwed.

WOW! these idiots really believe the American people are that stupid to believe the so called “Super Committee” (SC) was going to find ways to reduce the deficit by 1.2-1.5 trillion dollars! What a laugh, the SC was only created to get the newly elected tea party candidates elected to the House of Representatives to go along with raising the debt ceiling again! Once the debt ceiling was raised, there was no longer any need to reduce the deficit and the SC was just another dog and pony show for the tea party Americans who brought the Republican party to power again in the House of Representatives. The socialist liberal progressives never wanted to lower the Nations deficit and in fact, the liberal socialist have began a campaign of raising another half trillion dollars spending bill all the while trying to convince the American people they were working hard to come up with 1.2 INO) will do the job for the American people! Stop lying to the American people about the SC working to reduce the deficit, it was NEVER their intent to reduce anything, least of which was the deficit of the United States of America!

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.

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.

The so called “Super Committee” was a failure from launch.

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.
