House Republicans praised Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the deal he cut to avoid a national default during a rare Sunday night conference call, giving first-blush approval to a plan that must still be committed to legislation and passed by both chambers of Congress.
Now comes the hard part for the four heads of congressional caucuses: Selling the fine print. Thats the job that Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) signed up for when each gave his or her word to President Barack Obama Sunday night that the deal was in hand.
Its complicated, multi-dimensional and full of peril for the priorities of each side so much so that while the White House pointed to the possibility of the Bush tax cuts expiring, House Republican leaders were telling their rank and file that the deal made that scenario less likely.
Its not the greatest deal in the world, Boehner told his troops.
But it shows how much weve changed the terms of the debate in this town, Boehner said on the call, according to a transcript released by the speakers office. There is nothing in this framework that violates our principles. Its all spending cuts.
Come Monday, all eyes will be on House Republicans because they seldom jump in line without a fight.
Boehners lieutenants, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), applauded the speaker for pushing the president as far as he could while avoiding the economic and political calamity that could result from a default on the nations debt which the Treasury Department has said will happen after Aug. 2 if...

This is a battle in a much larger, longer war.
This is what is wrong with too many supposed “Conservatives”. You are so use to screaming and whining about everything you are incapable of doing anything else. You think of Politics as sport. It is not. It is war.
You Internet "Conservatives" think that there is either absolute victory, or absolute defeat and nothing in between.
US Politics doesn't work that way. Our Founders designed a system that is evolutionary, not revolutionary, in it's working. You are NEVER going to win one grand annihilating victory that forever changes everything to be exactly what you feel it should be. Our political system is specifically designed to prevent such events.
So instead of looking for some titanic great victory and then being pissed when you don't get it, learn to take your victories as they come and start on the next battle.
“You think of Politics as sport. It is not. It is war.”
I thought wars had fights? You know, opposition?
Well, especially when both "major" parties are "Progressives."
You posting style betrays you infilTraitor. Your posts all are in the same style and fashion normally found on Leftist propaganda sites.
So which moron clown posse on the Left is paying you to infiltrate here and scream "Hate the GOP" propaganda?
No wonder you are in hysteria mode today. Your paycheck is probably now in jeopardy.
Okay. How about we start by throwing every Congressman out who in any way supported borrowing and spending in excess of two TRILLION dollars?
What were there, like NINE who didn't?
In all the hand-wringing and hysteria today, one important fact has been overlooked.
<p.
Going into a brutal 2012 reelection campaign, 0 has just totally demoralized and demolished his political base.
Frustrated?
No one listening to you?
Ain’t got no respect?
Po’ lil’ overseer, watching all them ungrateful field hands leaving the plantation.
That's hilarious, coming from a defender of a party who just showed once again that the most advanced weapon in their arsenal is a white flag.
A white flag Boehner was already waving as hard as he could the very first day the Tea Party freshmen hit the Hill.
Sure you are. Your habitual use of Stalinist tactics and progressive debate styles is simple happenstance.
Hah! That is rich!
Which flavor do you prefer to lick for your GOP owners?
Boot, spittle, or are you a true “insider”?
Don't like having your real motivation for being a one note wonder on every issue being exposed
Right. As he rifles through the trillions more in newly printed borrowed money ready to be distributed to his constituencies and chuckles to himself.
They're all so devastated!
/s
You, on the other hand, never bother to think but always emote.
I know Tea Party folks in every state in the Union. NONE of them supported raising the debt ceiling ONE PENNY.
So, go ahead and laugh, Mr. Chamberlain.
Your conduct exposes you. Servile, panicked, dictatorial and frustrated. So which one of the dead souls in Congress owns the keys to your chains?
Obviously you are not even bothering to ready anything that doesn't validate your emotional dogmas. Either that or you are a propaganda bot not bothering to actually think about the issues but merely responding with pre programed paid for responses.
So which is it? Are you political fool or political fraud?
So, go ahead and laugh, Mr. Chamberlain.

It is funny how this capitulation simian is leaping from thread to thread this morning, screeching and flinging poo about how no one is a real conservative but him and the rest of the banderlog. His demands for all to be quiet and obey are noted too . . .
I might take you seriously if you bothered to actually read what I wrote to you. I sent you 2 pages of text and you responded to it in 57 second.

Just out of curiosity I checked my mail and all of your posts. The screed above and the six lines of banalities at post 81 are the longest bits of inanity that you have sent me. (NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING MIND YOU!)
Anyway, that falls far short of 2 pages of text. No such text was sent, or at least no such text was sent to me. This raises the possibility that your issue is not one of bad faith or stupidity, but that you are not lucid. A further possibility is that if you are not lucid, that misfortune is beyond your control.
I shall proceed on the theory that you are non compos mentis and just genrally ignore you when you are having an ‘episode’. Take care, and take your meds.
Exactly.
