"Leave the sad tangerine alone!
Just called my Congressman’s office to remind him that his “rear-end” was answerable to me, not to Boner.
The girl on the other end seemed surprised by this.
“Cut, cap, and balance” has already passed the House, quite comfotably. Go home, Mr. Speaker, and dismiss the House. The ball is now in the Senate’s court. The Senate has not even brought CC&B up for debate or a vote yet. Mr. Speaker, your job is done until the Senate acts.
So, get your ass out of town.
Boehner wants to seem reasonable, and the Leadership is TERRIFIED that the Obama-backing media will blame THEM, just like 1994.
Obama’s ONLY CONCERN is that he doesn’t want to revisit this issue before the 2012 elections, because he knows it’s a loser.
But his plan is more smoke and mirrors, without real change. Thank God the Tea Party is holding his feet to the fire now.
This is coming eventually, now is better than later.
I wonder.
Has the CBO scored Reid's plan?
No, John...YOU get your ass in line behind those freshmen Congressmen...they were sent there by the people last November to CUT spending and repeal DeathCare, and to get it done now. No more smoke and mirrors...as far as I am concerned; you should be replaced in 2012...the ‘old boy’ network must GO!
He actually said that? How crude.
I am glad for the Tea Party coalition holding the line on spending, but I also think we must avoid “Alinsky-iting” the man. Hussein would triumph in the case of a split Republican party, as the WSJ points out.
Congress needs to get in-line behind the American people...
(A)Boehner; Take “Cut, Cap and Balance” increase the cuts(to something realistic) and pass it again..
NO debt limit increase “IS” a balanced budget deal..
goto (A)..
Speaking of asses. This is a fitting position for Boner. Hat tip to Drudge.
I would like to know exactly what the end-game strategy is for conservatives who urge opposition to the Boehner bill.
At least I can see what Boehner is up to; I don’t like it, but I understand how it puts us in a better position than we are today.
I don’t see the victory in defeating a bill out of the house. If the goal is to force him to tweak his plan some to make it better, I understand and support that, but if the goal is to defeat it no matter what he does to it, I’d like to see what they think will happen in the end.
Is the goal to get nothing, to give Obama the credit for “solving” the crisis, and then hope that america will reward conservatives for this by electing republican majorities in the house, senate, and white house so we can reverse the damage? I don’t see how that plays out.
Is the goal to prevent the debt ceiling increase, with the intent that we never borrow any more than we already owe now, and that will force spending cuts and we’ll be better off? That would be a fantastic result, but how is that ever going to happen?
Presuming Boehner is wrong-headed as they say he is when he’s in a position of power as he is now, do they really think that, two weeks from now, faced with a manufactured debt crisis (Obama has the power to manipulate almost everything that happens to his favor, and the media will back him), that Boehner and at least 40 other soft republicans WON’T bolt and do anything they can to stop the “pain”, just like they did on TARP?
And once they do, do you think we’ll get ANYTHING else out of this republican congress? Or do you think that the resolution will make people love the conservatives more?
IN some ways, I see this as the same question we are asking the democrats — WHAT IS THE PLAN? Boehner has made an actual plan, which makes it easy to attack him because we don’t like it. WHAT IS THE conservative alternative plan?
(Not “what is the conservative position” — I know that, we’ve passed it, and it is dead. Do we think Reid and Obama are going to get scared about the fate of the country, and capilulate to that plan? When have the democrats done what is good for the country? Why would they start now?)
I’m ready to back the “say no” strategy, but I want to see that it is logical, thought-out, and has a reasonable chance of achieving a better end.
“Get your ass in line”... so you can get ****ed in it.
FOAD, Boner.
I have a suggestion.. Boehner get your head out of yours (ass) and work for the taxpaying American People, notice this is not all Americans. Do we have any plans to replace this nitwit for the next inevitable crisis ?
Then quit.
Politico: NY Times Lite
This smacks of panic on Boehner’s part. These people are hearing from home and the message is simple: No debt increase and trillions in spending cuts.
His threat is as empty as he is. The good news is we now know who the man is—a full-fledged flaming RINO. Just like McCain has unmasked himself as the same.
In a perverse way the perverse budget dance has had one positive result. And that is the unmasking of Boehner, McCain and some others as the true RINOs they are.
This appeared in Politico, so, No Credibility Alert. The sentiment expressed is could be correct, but we’ll never know, because there’s too much pissing and moaning.
The budget proposals will wind up in conference committee, and IMHO won’t get settled until Christmas at the earliest. Since the partisan media is shilling fulltime on behalf of Zero, Mob-Ties Harry, and Tuna-Plant Nancy, the Demwit Party of the Single Party State can count on amnesia about the absolute limit of early August for the raising of the debt ceiling.
