[Qwackertoo]

I love Paul Ryan.

[mojitojoe]

LOL my wife is too, but she thinks Boehner is “cuter” than Coburn. She’s a sucker for a nice tan and blue eyes.

Thanks for adding that. DeMint is a hero, and all too often unsung.

Hey Tom.

Yeah, people are ignorant. My grandfather grew up hard...and he didn’t want to be a farmer....because back then it was a hardscrabble life.

So he sold car batteries. Then a guy pegged him to travel into the country and sell groceries to mom and pop stores.

While he was doing that, he saved money and scoped out the area and eventually bought his own Mom and Pop grocery store and opened it in about 1955, I think.

He trained himself as a butcher and trained his sons. So it was a grocery store...locker plant...butcher shop. And a GREAT place to grow up as a kid.

He married my grandma when they both had just their week’s pay. He told her, “Stick with me and I’ll make us millionaires.”

He DID that....but my grandmother has given most of the money away. She’s COMFORTABLE, though.

Anyway...I lament for us now...and the ignorance that convenience breeds....

Also....I want to puncture my eardrums when Rangel speaks.

It looks like Dr. Tom Coburn is not going to have an opponent in this election here in Oklahoma or one that makes a difference because no one has heard a peep from the Democrats. After 2004, I look forward to seeing Dr. Tom have a race that is easy.

and Eric Cantor!

Hey Rangel—your party could have passed a bill. You failed.

[wizard61]

ready to slam this thing thru and are using this meeting as theatric cover

We will see pretty soon, but, I think there are too many Dems who will not vote for it. The Dems knew the summit would not bring in GOP votes, they had to have a different need. The clips from this will be damaging, they would not have risked this if they had another option. Now, if the reconcilliation passes, then I'll admit my guess was flat out wrong. I may be being too optimistic -- but I hope not!

The things that amuses me most about Gergen’s comment is that it was he and his pals in the MSM who made Barry and his cohorts think he was untouchable and in the lead after that meeting...

...the MSM still believes they are the only merchant in news around and I find it utterly hilarious :)

[Califreak]

Learn to agree with each other-Congress working it’s will for the good of the people.

Is Rangel on prison furlough?

[jersey117]

If you don’t show up to a fight, the other guy always wins.

Exactly right. And I think zero was betting that they wouldn't show. Not only did they show, but they were well armed.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Well, isn’t that the point though? All the administration folks are Democrats, so why would you exclude them when counting time?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama talked more than the Republicans. Well, maybe not, since during lunch it seemed someone told him he was looking like an idiot trying to argue substance, so after the break he’s kept his sniping at republicans much shorter.

[onyx]

I muted Rangel...lol.
Gravel voice.

[philetus]

Dengal trying to make thr Puba. look bad.
