All I said was drop the BBA and get what little victory we can and move on to the 2012 budget and the next election.

You are whining about losing the PR battle, yet you are throwing away the BBA, something favored by an overwhelming majority of the American people. All 47 Rep senators are sponsoring the BBA in the Senate. Grow a pair.

A Sachs/Mason Dixon poll released today has found that "65 percent of the public supports" a balanced budget amendment, "with 27 percent opposed, [and] 8 percent undecided." By party affiliation, that breaks down as "81 percent of Republicans, 68 percent of independents and 45 percent of Democrats." .

I didn't say don't send it to the Senate and put them on record but what I said was when it fails then the House needs to put something up there or else we get a RINO Senate bill.
If the poll is correct and the Senate rejects the BBA then the Rats will be held responsible but there will still be the expectation that the House passes something.
Boehner could have passed something that protects SS, Medicare and Military pay but he didn't and now the Rats will use the old “GOP wants to kill grandma” PR.
