When everything comes down it will be his to own. And it WILL all come down by election time....... The sad truth is we just don't have enough of our people in there. Got to get a bunch more in 2012 to put a restraining order on the Marxist tyrant.

If Obama gets his way he still has a year to do a huge bunch of damage...especially with this panel of 12 making decisions on who gets cut....those twelve should NOT be given that authority....congress should be determining what gets cut.

“No, it isn’t that. The Rats wouldn’t have signed it no matter what. It’s BOEHNER’S BILL, they don’t want him to have any credit. They need to keep their agenda percolating.”

Maybe not so bad a thing. It makes the economy 100 % obama`s and the donks fault. They will own 100% of it. Then again, maybe not. No matter what happens the media will portray it as the Republicans fault.

I already posted a few names. Tim Scott, Trey Gowdy and Tom Latham are 3 for sure who offered to vote yea if necessary. Apparently Tom Latham is a close personal friend of Boehner’s.

It’s all so disgusting! Additionally twelve people will be given authority on what gets cut...I’m so sick of appointed teams of people determining what gets done. Why have a congress to begin with!!!

Oh yes...and then some....still really infuriates me they've agreed to twelve people deciding on the cuts. That's actually Congress admitting Congress has gotten to big and all Government offices. It's as if our Governemnt is one huge 'money laundering machine' for all those with vested interests in making money off our pockets.

See 114 with the 22 "NO" votes. All the rest voted for it.

No Republicans did not cast a vote.

Here is where the true conservatives are going to get screwed

You could live with 1 trillion in debt limit increase. It is a bitter pill..it is bad news..it will hurt..it will cause our credit to be downgraded..but we have seen these increases before.

The real kicker that you are about to be hit with is the Super Congress with Super Mechanisms..

Just wait.

6 dems
1 backstabbing RINO

With Mechanisms...

Just wait until you find out the details on this one! I can’t wait to see what Boehner agreed to behind closed doors.

Moody’s: Boehner and Reid bills won’t cut it
mug.cnnmoney3 By: CNNMoney.com Senior Writer Jeanne Sahadi

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - Neither of the debt ceiling bills before Congress would meaningfully alter the country’s debt trajectory and thus won’t bolster the United States’ chance of preserving its AAA rating, a key rating agency said Friday.

“Reductions of the magnitude now being proposed, if adopted, would likely lead Moody’s to adopt a negative outlook on the AAA rating,” Moody’s Investors Service said.

The politics of the situation says that the Tea Party has already lost. That’s why McCain was so smug the other day.

Reid will knockdown Boehner’s bill immediately, without debate and probably without a vote. He is ready to go with a bill already prepared by him and McConnell, which will include phony cuts similar to Boehner’s plan. It will also include a phony committee that will draft phony cuts and real tax hikes.

Reid and all the Senators, including the Republicans, will postpone the next debt ceiling vote until after the 2012 elections.

Reid’s bill will easily pass the Senate and go to the House, where all the Democrats (who didn’t vote for Boehner’s bill) plus enough moderate Republicans (including Boehner) will constitute a majority to pass it.

We lost. Politics as usual wins. The country continues down the road to becoming Greece. They will position this as the Senate and moderate Republicans saving the country from the radical terrorist Tea Party who were trying to destroy the economy.

All we can do is explain to America why the Reid-McConnell-Boehner bill is phony and then we need to do everything we can to defeat those responsible for it in 2012.

It is extremely disappointing that some Tea Party members sold-out and are giving credibility to these phony plans.
