“First, consider how we got here. The fiscal cliff is a creation of the Budget Control Act of 2011, one of the most remarkably one-sided deals ever cut in Washington. Discretionary spending represents only 35 percent of the federal budget, yet the agreement calls exclusively for cuts to discretionary programs, half in the defense sector. Entitlements, the undisputed drivers of the budget crisis, remain untouched.
For the Obama campaign, the deal was a godsend. What might have been a vigorous debate over government’s growth all but disappeared until after the election. Obama was free to spend a full year attacking Romney as a handmaiden to the rich. Congressional Republicans had virtually nothing to say.
You’d think the people responsible for signing off on a deal like this would have fled to Paraguay in shame. But no. They’re still on Capitol Hill, cowering and outmaneuvered by their counterparts at the White House. In a normal year, Republicans might be able to negotiate a deal to keep the current top tax rates in place and shift some of the cuts slated for defense to entitlements and wasteful discretionary programs. (Sayonara, Obama phone.) This is not a normal year. Republican leadership isn’t just weak in this negotiation; it’s submissive. This is Fifty Shades of Grey, the Congressional edition. Leaping off the cliff is probably the best deal Republicans are capable of getting.”

Idiot congressional Republicans gave Obama a loaded weapon to use against them with this Act that Bohner rammed though the house after a deal with O, Reid and Pelosi.

If Bohner and McConnell are not replaced then Republicans deserve everything they get.

Unfortunately, you and I will be the recipients of their incompetence.

If Bohner and McConnell are not replaced then Republicans deserve everything they get.

I would advise every Republican in this nation to vacate their Republican registration if this comes to pass.

We need to make that known up front too. Then when it happens, the RNC will know exactly why.

With 2% of the national registrations in March, perhaps the ears of the Republican party will perk up a little.
