House leaders threatening hold outs

[Founding Father]

I support every holdout. I fart in the general direction of the republican leadership.

[Doogle]

retribution IS A WORD WE’LL BE SENDING COME NEXT YEAR IF THEY CAVE...you hear that BONEHEAD?

[Principled]

I think we need to elect a lot more Tea types.

But I also think we’re better off passing this bill.

Flame away.

[Revel]

This should be highly illegal! It short circuits the whole democratic process.

[kittymyrib]

Stand firm, TEXANS! They say you are the delegation standing in the breech, and we are so proud of you.

Boehner can’t touch you politically in Texas. He may cry if he loses, but just loan him your handkerchief and walk away. We have your back.

Remember the Alamo!

[Arm_Bears]

It diminishes the word “Leader” to apply it to the likes of Boner and Cantor.

Besides, Nancy Pelosi could kick Cantor’s a$$.

[LibLieSlayer]

Any of you that still support this pos boehner and the republican establishment... should rethink your position and change it. We are going to have to take down the leadership... as it is today... and replace every single one of them... or America as we have known and loved her... will die.

Ah! So now the Weeper of the House is a *THUG* b@st@rd!

Tagline updated accordingly.

This House bill does not begin to address the depth and width of the insolvency of the United States government.

In its passage, this bill would send the false message of action. This is a wad of chewing gum placed on a gigantic concrete dam leak.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated....

Thomas Paine, The Crisis

[CedarDave]

Mark Levin has a list names and phone numbers of Reps who may succumb to the pressure of the House leadership. He asks that they be contacted and told to hold firm.

Please call these House Republicans and ask them to Vote NO on the Boehner debt plan

[arthurus]

Apparently the GOP leaders all missed the message of last election.

They didn't miss it. They understood it and they are trying hard to mitigate its effects and co-opt the new members, to implicate them in traditional Republican chicanery so that their hands will be dirty, too, and their ties to the voters broken so that they truly will be dependent for any chances they have left for re-election on the Republican Party and its capos.

[Founding Father]

Not going to flame away, but what is the thought process you used to reach your conclusion?

[True Grit]

This should be highly illegal! It short circuits the whole democratic process.

Much that goes on in Washington short circuits the democratic process.

[Lauren BaRecall]

Thanks for the link - I was going over there next.

Funny, Palin says to the Republican Freshmen if you blow this you'll pay.

Boehner says to the same people if you blow this you'll pay.

How are they more afraid of???

[gov_bean_ counter]

“Who are they afraid of”

[Wayne07]

It is fair to support it, but not fair to threaten things like “we’ll redistrict you out of a job” if you don’t vote with us. That is the threat Jim Jordan received. So we should toss that PoS. boehner out for even allowing that kind of trash talk.

We are going to have to take down the leadership... as it is today... and replace every single one of them...

Have at it. Replace them with Tea Party Republicans and then become enraged and throw them out on the first vote.

I guaran-freakin-tee Obama is rubbing his hands together. I can just hear him tomorrow. "The Republicans had a chance to solve this crisis. They failed. So Senator Reid and I...."

We've got to win a few decisive battles before we go for broke. This one is in the bag.
