While that is true I am reminded of a few words that Rush uttered last week, don't recall which day but he applauded the new Tea Party Pats in the House for holding the line and forcing Boner to at least come up with more spending cuts than he originally put forth.
Boehner is old school. He was always taught to compromise and look for the deal while our new Tea Party Pats, as Rush noted, can't be bribed,bullied, don't care about committee assignments, can't be told to tow the party line or else, and don't give a ____(expletive deleted) about whether or not the get reelected!!!
IN a word they are bullet proof conservatives and Rush noted that and saluted them.I salute them as well.
If it was stalemate then you and I know the dems, Obama and the driveby’s will have a hammer they will use to blame conservatives with every day until the election. A stalemate will actually hurt us.
The issue is we only control one side in Congress and we NEED both to effect chance that will improve things. Better yet, both sides and the White House. But that is only a wish for us because right now we DO NOT.
Sure, I admire and support the TEA party firebrands in the House and like Recovering Ex-Hippie said, their fighting for us is keeping the whole thing on the front burner where EVERYONE can see it, even those who usually don't pay attention to this stuff.
But let's stop calling Boehner “Boner” and a cry baby and a terrible Speaker because his job is to see the legislation passed out of the House is going to be seen as favorable to the people, even if it's DOA because of the dems. Right now the Drvieby’s are trying their hardest to paint him and the Republicans as no compromising ideologues who are hurting the country. Meanwhile, FReepers are calling him a RINO and a closet dem because he trying to limit the damage, knowing full well anything the House does will be spiked. It's a no win situation. We need to see that because it is the truth. Conservatives are supposed to think things through and not emote like democrats!
No matter what is passed in the House Harry Reid is not going to let it get a vote if it looks good for “our side”. Now I think our side is RIGHT on economic matters and their side is dead wrong.
Their side is plunging us in deeper. By next year it will not only be truly apparent (and I really do think it is almost there in most thinking people's minds) but now their side, Obama and Reid own it lock, stock and barrel. They won this fight. The TEA Party is wrong, the driveby and dems keep telling us. The President “has a plan”.
But it is all bull $hit. It isn't going to work. Their victory is really a hole they can't stop digging. And by “defeating” us it puts us in a prime spot coming up next election. This could in fact, hurt the Lefts chances for a decade or more because they are so oblivious to how they are killing the economy.
