‘I didn’t realize I was addressing an Establishment groupie.’

If more than 50 years as part of the conservative movement and a lack of tin foil makes me an Establishment groupie I guess that is true. It is also true that the last time an American political party was as conservative as the current GOP Calvin Coolidge was President.

Agreed. Given where we began - and who’s in the White House - this is a huge win for Republicans.

No tax increases. A two vote process. Dollar for dollar match of spending cuts for limit increase.

Best that could be done until 2012. I mean - the alternative isn’t this or some magic world where the budget can suddenly be cut 40%. The alternative is financial panic, followed by enough moderates peeling off to pass something better for the Democrats.

It sounds like you are confusing being a Republican with being a Conservative.

I’ll grant we don’t know all the details yet, but it’s highly unlikely that Conservatives will support this mess.
