Could “Conservatives” stop emoting like silly children and think about this for a change?

My God it is the same silly crap around here no matter WHAT happens “WHAAA we didn’t get 100% of what WE wanted. We got screwed! Whaaa”

We all ready won a major victory here. The last few weeks shows hat without the Tea Party the debt limit increase would have been passed without any attempt to rein in spending

The Tea Party has all ready won simply because the terms of the debate are now changed forever. It is no longer a question of cutting spending, it is now how to do it and how much to do it.

True we did not win a complete annihilating victory but this will be a long war. This is the Tea Party equivalent of Lexington/Concord.

The war on Federal Spending has now started.

Even in announcing a grand compromise, he’ll still be peevish and sanctimonious.

As with all Marxists, he is incapable of being gracious.

How did we win? There are NO cuts overall. They would have to reduce spending by 9 trillion next year alone simply to break even.
