House Republicans have been relatively successful this week at presenting a united front around their “Pledge to America,” but only through a strategic outreach campaign to lawmakers, media and outside groups, that has managed to keep deep dissatisfaction over several key issues largely under wraps.

Still, interviews with Republican aides reveal that many in the GOP caucus are unhappy that there was no earmark ban and no promise to pass a balanced budget amendment in the proposal, which was unveiled Thursday by House Minority Leader John Boehner.

“I come here to discuss articles”

Then discuss the article and don’t claim the thread is about FR posters.
It is not.
I don’t see “FR Posters” anywhere in the thread title or the article.

Try actually reading the thread, instead of blowing in here with your viking kiddy BS.

I did.
How about you?
You claimed the thread is about FR posters.
It is not.
I see you have no reasonable rational response for that.

How about this: Start with the thread article and title.
Gee, that’s before post 44, that’s too hard.

Amnesty is still on the table. The GOP appears ready to destroy America along with the Democrats.

I also wish you’d make up your mind.
Either you’re here to discuss the article, as you claimed in post 160, or your here to discuss other posters as you implied in post 156, or you’re here to discus everything but the article from post 44 on as per post 165.

Funny, where’s the thread originator?
Did he post anything of substance?
Is he here discussing the thread he posted?
Nope, he’s off somewhere laughing about poster like you running with scissors in the forum.

Wow, very little actual discussion there, very little actual substance there.
I see lots of insulting banter, no substance.

Now what was that you claimed?
You’re here to discuss the article?
Where have you discussed it?
I don’t see discussion in there, I see lots of petty insults on your part.

Balanced Budget and no Earmarks was critically important. Dems will play off that.
So let me get this straight: You are saying that the dems will propose no earmarks and a balanced budget amendment?

Remember back when the GOP proposed the balanced budget amendment and the contract with America?
Remember how the Dems successfully took credit for it?
They’ll try to take credit for anything others do.
But back then the internet was young and we weren’t there to “play the tape” so to speak.
