I will admit you may be correct. But it is my opinion that if this bill does not pass the House, we will still have a bill and it will be much worse than this one. The thing we will not be able to know is which path would result in the worst bill since only one bill will ultimately pass.

This is what I have been saying. Reid says they won’t pass Boehner’s bill. Naive people see that as a good sign..but reality is...he is going to mutate that Boehner bill, pass it, and get it back to the House if Demint doesn’t stop it.

It will pass there.

And I dread dread dread to see the details that will allow the Super Conress to Strong Arm regular COngress.

. Palin warned them on her facebook page.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES must the 2nd tranche be configured to be ON unless voted OFF.

This Must Be Dead On Arrival.

Boehner’s bill is fine. It will revisit the subject in February and Force Further Cuts or the second tranche is denied. But no change must be allowed that will configure that second tranche as approved unless disapproved.

Boehner’s bill is not fine. he can’t force future spending cuts on a future congress. Not legal

@marklevinshow Levin on fire right now! Saying back door deal is the real plan that’s being brokered between Boehner, McConnell & Reid...

DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF winning the senate...and holding the house with a bigger margin. ANYTHING WE PASS NOW no matter how stinky CAN BE CHANGED with REAL CUTS in November. Make Obama revisit this in March...we need to win the media game which we ARE NOT DOING A GOOD job of...

Raise the Social security eligibility age by 5 years immediately and one additional year every other year until the age of eligibility is 80.

This would make SS pretty close to a tontine.

For those who haven't heard of this word, it's an investment club where the last survivor gets the pot.

Where is Sarah on this on her Facebook page?

Awefully silent.

It’s a very complex yet simple issue. The chess game makes it complex. Having and wanting and REQUIRING to actually cut expenses/spending is incredibly simple, yet we’re not doing this in Boehner’s or Reid’s bills.

Is Fox this wimpy to not get the real word out? When will Breitbart really get a media outlet?

From earlier today and possibly a reason for the courage of some Congressmen:

You've been on top of this, and I haven't. What do we do if the Boehner bill doesn't pass - what do you want to see happen, and how will it play out?

In all honesty, I think this is just about FUBAR’ed.

He should have held the line to give time for Demint to get votes.

He didn’t.

I don’t think CCB can pass now.

What I want..and will not happen...is for them to Hold the Line...say CCB is it..and then let Obama try to violate the 14th amendment if they don’t pass it.

But now, I know we are going to get some kind of monstrosity - one way or another.

Spot on RummyChick. I agree 'FUBAR’ed.'

I AGREE WITH THAT

Boehner's Blue Pill

''The best advise I can give you all is to ignore any symptoms and also ignore the concerns from taxpayers
that will arise after taking your blue pill medication. That $14 trillion deficit is just the status quo.
So 'eat our peas,' ... and steer for the cliff!'' /sarc
