Asian markets opening, Sun rising, ok, big deal

[liberalh8ter]

Boehner should tread lightly here. Not only will this cost him his speakership, he will lose his job as well.

[Wolfie]

It’s all fun and games until your masters in the financial markets tell you to shut up and cut a deal.

[Loyal Buckeye]

“grand bargain”. What a bunch of B.S.

[floozy22]

Not gonna jump on this...considering the source.

[stockpirate]

The battle is between the people who want to steal our earnings and those who don’t want their earnings stolen...

Boenher and McConnell need to GO and soon.

[FrankR]

I can't believe that Boehner went back to the table with obama...the 'one' is trying to wear him down with threats and intimidation.

Was Boehner asleep when obama lost it in the presser because he was told "no"? Just keep blocking him and he'll fall to pieces eventualy.

[ken21]

bump.

[Bernard]

If the increased tax revenue comes from an expanded economy with the existing rates, that's a good thing. If increased revenue means TAX INCREASE, that's just assisting Obama in his jihad to fundamentally transform America into North Korea.

[Da Coyote]

If Boehner blows it, he goes.

Period.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Just beacuse Boner and Obummer cut a deal that doesn’t mean the House will go along with it. Hold the line and stick to your principles.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I am told that Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Jeb Hensarling (the 2, 3, and 4 GOP leaders in the House) have all made it clear to Boehner they will not accept a deal that increases tax revenues by $800 billion.

I wonder which one of these guys called Erickson?

It’s "[crap]" (unnamed Conrgressman: Boehner is getting nervous)

[TwelveOfTwenty]

$800 billion in additional tax revenue.

If they want $800 billion in additional tax revenue, give businesses an incentive to create jobs (IE tax payers) here. Stop driving jobs out of the country by making it too expensive to hire here.

That goes for the UAW, too.

[tennmountainman]

Bonehead wants a deal so bad, even a bad deal.
It’s no wonder. Debt increase now, spending cuts that are NEVER enacted. We have been down this road before.

[jimbo123]

"And I'll tell the peasants that we had to agree to a deal before the Asian Markets open on Monday morning..."

[101voodoo]

ABC? I believe NONE of this and won’t until I hear it from Boehner. he is/was on FNC and gave NO INDICATION of allowing any tax increases.

[Mr. K]

what was this sudden reference to “the asian markets” opening?

since when do we care?

[jla]

Taxes will be raised. Boehner & Co.'s 'steadfast opposoition' to tax increases is the same posturing they've always used. Come election time they'll all insist that they firmly objected to tax increases, but due to the urgency of the matter and the Dems refusal to cede, taxes 'had' to be increased.

Boehner is not a civil servant. He is an insecure, small-minded fraud obsessed with his position and its aggrandizements.

[Steamburg]

The media spin and innuendo attacks are at a fever pitch this morning. We can only make sure that our representatives know where we stand and keep the money spigot turned off until they see our point.

We need to be careful not to overreact to the crap being published by people who are making up as they go along.

[Candor7]

Bring Cut Cap and Balance Bill back off the table and vote on it...OR WELCOME THE DEFAULT.

Boehner need not fear the deafult, it is noit the destruction of the full faith and credit if the US government. THAT IS A LIE....a false crisis invoked by Obama.A GRIFT.

It is a false crisis. So our T Bill rating will go from AAA to AA. So what? Japan has been operating successfully for years with an AA rating.

If Obama raises taxes it will be tough times between now and Novemebr of 2012 anyay, likely tougher than if we default.America is ready to run the default gauntlet just to get to the sunshine on the other side AND BE RID OF OBAMA. And getting rid of Obama will be much harder if we allow him funding as he wants.

CUT CAP AND BALANCE, OR DEFAULT. DO IT BOEHNER.KEEP YOUR PATRIOT SPINE!!!!
