No Sale. We’ve been screwed over too many times by Republican leadership over the years.
Precisely! We gave these politicians "breathing room" and they drove the country into an abyss so deep it is going to take generations to dig ourselves out, assuming that digging out is even possible at this point. It's clear to me that politicians, Boehner included, have demonstrated repeatedly that they simply will not do the right thing for the country unless there is an angry mob nipping at their heels constantly. Given the minuscule "cuts" that have been proposed it seems to me the heat needs to be turned up, not down!
Well said, my friend!
Well said, my friend!
Exactly!
We MUST hold their feet to the fire and remind them constantly that we are not putting up with “Business as usual”
Any Republican that steps out of line must KNOW that he will not be invited to serve when we hold the next election.
ALL the Dems should know that WE the People are going to do our best to replace them.
I find it odd that all the quibbling is over a fraction of a percentage in cuts!
Our servants in DC need to plan for BIG cuts, 20 30 50%. They did it in 1921, why not again?
At the very least get rid of 10%. Defunding the EPA would be a good start.
I heard a guy on the radio squawking about how GDP will lose .02% if the Feds shut down.
1/200th of a percent?! Woooo, I’m shakin’ in my boots. If we can cut govt spending, the benefits to the economy will be in the solid full percentage points.
That being said, Boehner has done a fairly good job at holding the line and bending the compromise to the direction that the People want him to. (I’m a little ticked at him for his “crazy TEA Partiers” statement though)
He just has to make sure that he doesn’t back down and all the Soviet-esque, socialist, Leftist cockroaches know that we are not going to. If he’s tough and does not compromise (or keeps the compromise VERY small) he can redeem himself for the insult IMHO.
2012, it’s sooner than you think.
Yep. Former GOP Rep. Pete Hoekstra needs to STFU!
