However, they are SMALL in numbers, and the Establishment will put the screws to them all.
I don't forsee major impact at all this Session, but in 2012, hopefully, their numbers can grow to more substantial levels as the RINO's are ousted.
Boehner should put up a sign:
“Defectors will be Primaried”
anything less than $100 billion is unacceptable.
I’m amazed.
No, not amazed at the defections...
Amazed that it took the RINOs this long to start defecting.
$32 billion, $100 billion, no difference.
If the first cuts are not at least $750 billion, the Republicans should hang it uo.
Anything less than $500 billion is unacceptable.
Boehner’s only where he is because of the tea party reinvigoration of the GOP. He should think about that.
No permanent damage yet—but Boehner had better get this under control quickly. And not cry about it.
32 Billion is a drop in the bucket. They likely spend that much in 60 seconds. They must have missed that T party thing.
Pray for America
Not renewing the Patriot Act was a big win for all of us - I don’t consider that a setback, even though Boehner was on the wrong side of that issue. I am certainly with you in my hopes of not passing a debt ceiling increase. I guess we are about to find out who has a pair, and who ..............
The RINOS are no better then the Marxist, and you can count on them to browbeat the newbie Tea Party folks, aka real Americans.
What I see from afar, for America, it is all over but the shouting.
$100B,,,, not nearly enough
The “Human Tear Duct” was weak sauce from the get go. He’s got all the spine of your average earth worm.
Did he cry?
Not only that, we'll destroy the entire party if necessary.
Boner and the old guard need to get with the program.
I might be jailed if the FBI could read my mind thru the tin foil..
Here is how most people think:
1. If govt makes HUGE, Across-the-Board budget cuts, I do not much mind my govt check getting cut because everyone shares the burden and it is necessary.
2. If govt makes Small, Targeted cuts, then I will resent my govt check getting cut, because everyone else still gets their checks and it will not produce meaningful results.
Big cuts are easier than small cuts.
What is needed for voters in a state that allows recall of congress critters to get mad and recall one or two of them. Make an example of them. Find a couple who have not toed the line and move to recall them. The recall attempt might not be successful but it sure would get their attention.
Even two years is too long to have a congress person doing harm and not living up to campaign promises.
With a federal deficit of $1.5 trillion this year, $35 billion in cuts is a joke. A trillion dollars is a thousand billion.

Boner seems to be proving the old notion that people rise, in management or reponsibility, to their level of incompetence...
