Imagine you see a huge fight between 2 people —they’re screaming back and forth about a restaurant choice. There’s a huge scene —they can’t decide 2 eat at the expensive restaurant, or the cheap one. It goes on and on, quite elaborately.

Then you hear that one guy wanted to spend $100 on the meal, while the “cheapskate” insisted on spending “only” $99.

How much more attention would you pay to such a conflict? Cuz that’s what we were just expected 2 care about.

All of that was regarding a money amount spent by the Feds for 1/2 of ONE day.

The niche of the RePUBEican Party is to supply a perception of genuine debate. But there is NOT one of those.

DUMP THE ‘PUBES —they do not care about us.

Is Dick Morris a Republican now?

[Hojczyk]

Wonder what Rush thinks...We will never get anything done til 2012...I guess it is Sarah or Trump ..the rest are RINOS...even Paul Ryan wants to continue the spending just at a slower rate...maybe the best thing is to just go broke and start over!!!!!!!

[Paperdoll]

I’m afraid you are right, little man.

[EGPWS]

* 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.

And our country hasn't altered it's 100 MPH course directly to "financial cliff".

When the democrats go out and tell their lies there is no one on the republican side that gets right out there to call them on it and hold them to account.

Losing is the culture - it doesn't seem to be changing. I hope this gives more recruiting power to the Tea Party.

The republican leadership din’t cave or sell out. This is here Morris is wrong, and here’s why, the republican leadership are also socialists, and so they go along with their fellow travlers.

It is an ugly feeling when you wake up in the morning, and realize that the most dangerous and damaging enemy you have IS YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT.

Hunh. He must have seen my post on the Horowitzblog thread.

[Tribemike1]

Wasn’t this guy known for “triangulation” just a few years ago....now each battle must be a complete, decisive victory.

You can win the battles and lose the war. Paul Ryan’s budget is the WAR we ultimately want to win. Shutting down Govt...with the media on the other side, the republicans would be seen as narrow, inflexible...the independents would recoil and we would have to start from scratch to win the broader support.

Boehner did the right thing here and he held out to the last minute.

Even the great Scott Walker’s so-called union reform left many rights in tact for negotiation...same with Kasich in Ohio.

The Ole Toe Sucker tells the truth. Boener bent over and took it right up the bohunkus for the Republicans. We have nobody looking after the taxpayers while the elite pad their nests.

[radpolis]

We are committing national suicide.

George Bush sucked with the deficits, but Obama’s budget deficits on average are 3 times as large and $500 billion more than the last Bush budget.

We should be cutting At LEAST a trillion a year—and we would still be in the red. $36 billion is nothing.

It makes me sick that I witnessing up close and personal the destruction of the United States.

Defunding Planned Parenthood and NPR are small potatoes compared to the cutting that really needs to be done. That and much more needs to chopped.

Where’s that pro wrestling pic?

[Qbert]

What the h-ll was going on then behind the scenes? I was under the presumption that Morris was helping advise the Repubs in the negotiations in his “triangulation” strategy... it was the only reason why I held out a tiny slimmer of hope, even though it seemed things were going disastrously. So they weren’t following his advice?

I think he’s spot on in his criticism, btw.

[ScreamingFist]

Toe Sucker speaks......why oh why are turds like this the face of the republican party?

[Joe Boucher]

Just say NO to RINOs
Defeat em in the primaries.

[Errant]

The Republican plan is to leave the citizens with $15,800,000,000,000 dollars of spending debt in this year.

The Democrats plan is to leave the citizens with $15,900,000,000,000 dollars of spending debt in this year.

[dps.inspect]

Sorry Dick, you are not the “be all and end all” for everybody out there... your goal is to sell books, as many as you can... which is fine. But look here, I think that while Mr. Teary Eyes did not act to shut down the gub’men’, he has set up some pretty important issues that will weigh heavily in our favor for 2012. As long as Obamy is there and the left has the Senate, you ain’t gunna get much... and if there was a shut down, who knows whether we would come out of it intact or not... this is a “live to fight another day” victory for me... I’m good with it.

[Sooth2222]

The toesucker is right for once. Cutting 10% might have been a nice start. Problem is the only way to pay for all this crazy spending is to print money. Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe, we are here!

[Zakeet]

Never fear ... the world economy will take care of unlimited deficit spending. It will be not be pretty, and it will not be fun ... but Medicare, Medicaid, ObamaCare, Civil Servant Pensions, Welfare, the EPA, the Department of Education, Department of Housing, Department of Energy, Endless Banker Bailouts, Endless Government Guarantees, and Illegal Immigration will be reined in ... eventually ... one way or another. It's happened in many other places before ... and it will happen here. This sh*t cannot go on forever!
