John Boehner has just given away the Republican victory of 2010 at the bargaining table. Like the proverbial Uncle Sam who always wins the war but loses the peace, he has unilaterally disarmed the Republican Party by showing that he will not shut down the government and will, instead, willingly give way on even the most modest of cuts in order to avoid it. He now has no arrows left in his quiver.
Having failed to stand firm for just $61 billion in cuts in a budget of $3.7 trillion, how can we expect him to stand firm over the debt limit extension or the 2012 budget? We can’t. The excellent budget proposals of Paul Ryan are no more than a pipe dream now. Boehner has He sold us out now and he’ll sell us out again.
It is the duty of every Republican Congressman to vote no on this terrible deal. It violates our campaign promises to the American people. We promised $100 billion of cuts and we delivered $38 billion ($62 billion on a twelve month basis). In the Republican House’s first real test out of the box it has broken the promise over which it was elected. Only in Meat Loaf’s music is “two out of three not bad.”
This concession makes it clear that:
* Obamacare will not be defunded. * The EPA will not be blocked from regulating carbon. * The NLRB will not be stopped from forcing an end to secret ballots in union contests. * Medicaid will not be block granted and turned over to the states. * Welfare spending will not be cut nor work requirements imposed. * The FCC will not be stopped from regulating talk radio.
In short, we have accomplished nothing by our hard work in 2010.
Except we have learned a lesson.
And the lesson is this: We need to purify our party and purge it of the likes of John Boehner and all those Congressmen who vote for the budget sellout. The Tea Party must take the lead in this purifying fire. We must not let the RINOs win!
DickMorris.com will post prominently (and permanently) the names of all GOP freshmen who vote for this rotten deal. It will be in a column headed: THESE ARE THE SELLOUTS. Check it out and back their primary opponents!
Ohh PLEAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEE
Furthermore, dickie morris is never right about anything.
GOOD VISUAL
Right! And Germany and Japan won World War II.
Exactly ....
Har! I thought EXACTLY the same thing. LOL
You're confused.
That assertion isn't a fact.
However, everything I cited was, indeed, a fact.
We did lose some battles during the war. But we DID win the war...didn’t we? We will win this one too...one way or another.
“John Boehner has just given away the Republican victory of 2010 at the bargaining table.”
That just isn’t so. The man did the best he could do under the circumstances and it is time to stop whinning.
Though it is sure to offend....anyone that buys the above opening quote is a fool.
I'm betting the libs at KOS & DU are calling Obamah, Reid & Pelosi Sellouts today.
..even if it takes him to Kenya to politic for Obamah's cousin.
Dick Morris = Karl Rove; with extra kink.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
Not quite, Dick. The "promise" was $100 billion off Obama's unpassed 2011 proposed budget. Boehner got $78.5 billion off through the continuing resolutions.
He also got Reid to put Obamacare up for a Senate vote along with the issue of Planned Parenthood funding.
It's not a perfect victory but it's a win. Obama lost all the spending hikes he want and had to accept actual cuts, not just reductions in increase but cuts.
Now is NOT the time to toss Boehner under the bus.
Boehner, Bachmann, DeMint, Ryan and others need our support on the debt limit and 2012 budget battle where the deeper cuts can be made.
This was all about cleaning up the mess Ms. Pelosi left. She wasn't even in D.C. last night! She flew to Boston to speak about her "historic time" as Speaker.
“yeah we won no abortion money for DC, in 18 years how many more little welfare voting rats will be in DC? IMO no funding for welfare is great but it should go hand in hand with no welfare. I shouldnt be paying for either”
Bingo! Actual insight for a change and the guts to write it.
What are you doing on this site?
********
Same as you pal, reading the news, now run along and pester someone else.
The owner of this site has made it very clear - this site is pro-life. If you aren’t pro-life you should go away.
Bug off fly. You’re an irritating little gnat. I’ll bet you were a tattletale in school too, a hall monitor...Teacher Johnny is chewing gum!!!
You don’t agree with me fine, now you want to stifle me. Are you a liberal? Like I said, get lost and don’t bother me.
No one is stifling you. If you want to express pro-abortion views there are plenty of places that welcome that kind of liberal view-point. This is not one of those places. The owner of this site has been very clear about that. That’s why I enjoy spending time here.
If I wanted to hear from idiots that support the murder of babies I’d go over to the DUmmy site.
