I’ve got that freshly screwed feeling
Boehner did the right thing here and he held out to the last minute.
There is another vitally important element that, to my knowledge, has yet to be mentioned.
Boehner and the GOP won!. That's important when it comes to setting the stage for future, bigger battles.
Harry Reid agreed to something he didn't want to agree to for a very simple reason: If the matter had come to a vote in the Senate, Reid would've lost!.
Earlier in the day, Joe Lieberman said he would vote for the Republican bill -- and so would several other Democrats.
Reid's caucus is starting to crack. And, with the scheduled votes on de-funding Obamacare and Planned Parenthood, it's not going to get any easier for the vulnerable 'Rats.
Boehner has established a commanding position on the high ground. As a leader and tactician, he surpasses Newt by a mile.
Because Obama TV controls the country. Who would want Boehner’s job? The public watching TV empowers the Dems. Keep watching.
“We will never get anything done until we march on Washington and burn it to the ground.”
Sorry...I’m busy that weekend...
I disagree with Dick Morris.
First, it costs more to ‘temporarily’ shut down parts of the government, than it would if it continued to operate.
The whole concept of the Congress and Senate is that they are supposed to work all this stuff out BEFORE the deadline.
Shutting down the public associated parts of the government doesn’t help any body. We need to slowly phase out all the acronym agencies. Of course, that is like asking a person to cut off their foot. The politicians create more laws, then more agencies to handle those laws, because it generates more cash that can be siphoned off. The bigger the income, the easier it is to hide, and you can take more.
Plus, many of those people in those agencies OWE their position to our Senators and Congressmen, and support them financially during elections, so asking our elected officials to fire those folks , well, you might as well go bang your head against a concrete wall for a while.
If we got rid of all the siphoning, all the corruption, all of the parasites, all the unneeded laws which drive prices up unreasonably, and quit sending our money to other countries so they can buy weapons and attack us, we could probably gain a better control of the economy.
THEN we could phase out those agencies, or combine them. And fire the MULLAHS ( I mean CZARS).
Bad-a-bing! FReeper stockpirate comes off the top rope with a bodyslam!
Now I know Boehner did OK, if Morris stands against him. LOL.
I'm ready to go Tea Party at this point - the GOP/RNC clearly is not serious about the admittedly tough job that is in front of them.
Dick Morris is anybody's dog that will hunt with him.

Good luck with that message. Medved, Limbaugh, Levin and Hannity talk of the "big tent", and how a purity test guarantees Democrat victories in perpetuity. We need to allow gay marriage, abortion, hemlock type deaths, welfare, EITC....what a boondoggle that is, thanks Ronnie....free health care for all lazy people, and the few who truly need it. Add in Social Security, paying for the elderly to live in nursing homes instead of with family, you name it, Rinos love big government. Rinos hate smaller govt, they hate the TEA partiers, they hate the Liberty loving, They hate Liberty itself. They talk a halfway decent game, and bend us over with nary a sight of K/Y to ease the suffering.
It is time today to begin the financing and pushing forward with a new party. The Republicans are finished, if they want to hang around and join the Conservative tent, in voting us back to the days of Constitutional rule, they are welcome. They get no more of my money, they get my vote ONLY if I have no better choice, and today I pledge to work for a better party and better choices.
That doesn't make him wrong. This deal doesn't inspire any confidence that the GOP will do any better with the debt ceiling or the 2012 budget. And meanwhile Obamacare and the EPA proceed with the complete takeover of every aspect of the country.
“No abortion money for DC...
WINNING”
***********
Are you serious? Winning for whom? Do you think for a moment any of those future “voters” are going to vote conservative? Sure, let’s have more welfare and single parents, babies with no fathers, crime, poverty, etc, etc keep the cycle going. “Winning” indeed.
Wow, he is off his meds... just because this deal doesnt include everything we want to do, doesnt mean we are giving up on them. And just because Boehner decided not to go to a shutdown over these items know, doesnt
ALL OF THESE ITEMS CAN BE UP AGAIN FOR NEGOTIATION NEXT MONTH OVER THE DEBT CEILING AND IN APPROPRIATIONS BILLS FOR 2012:
* Obamacare will not be defunded.
== WELL, MAKE IT THE PRICE FOR RAISING THE DEBT CEILING
* The EPA will not be blocked from regulating carbon.
= PUT IT IN THE EPA APPROPRIATIONS FOR FY2012
etc. Many more battles to fight. Dick Morris is so off base here I wonder what his real agenda is. Not a great deal but not seellout nor a defeat either. more battles to come.
What working American? Between the Carbon Tax and Obamacare, the nongovernment worker will become something to list under the ESA.
“Boehner has established a commanding position on the high ground. As a leader and tactician, he surpasses Newt by a mile.”
You could not have said it any better. Thank you.
In 2012, without substantial cuts, in the neighborhood of a Trillion a year, the Democrats will take back the House, keep the Senate, and 0 will win in a landslide. They will pin the $6-$7 Trillion that 0 has spent in debt on the Republican Congress, and the MSM will buy it. Just wait and see if I am right.
Both parties fear the tea party. Both parties ignore the constitution. Both parties are callous to the death of the unborn, the securing of the border, the fiat money system controlled by non-government Fed. Both engage in smear and subversion of patriots. We have been sold out! We had the presidency and both houses and were betrayed. There is no hope in the GOP, they have bought. The tea party will be marginalized and mocked by the press and both parties.
We are past critical mass, voting cannot change the coming demise of the last great hope for liberty on planet earth. The only hope for the establishment of liberty again is probably by the same means it was won last time. By the blood of patriots who care more for holy cause of liberty and their progeny than their comfort. Men who do not fear death nearly as much as they despise tyranny. To find such men, we will have to raise them and that will take a great deal of national repentance.
