Setting up expectations for the next big fight, the 2012 budget. I think we conservatives should be quite happy with how this is playing out. We will not get everything, let’s wait and see what is in the final package.

Its quite clear - almost nothing at all.

Oh, I totally agree. I'm just commenting on the status right now and trying comfort a feller Freeper who seems despondent about the prospects. Reality is that the political game goes on and everything that has come up in this debacle has worked to improve Republican status and degrade Democrats. The latter are now so firmly linked to abortion that it isn't even remarkable to note them as the Party of Death. They have embraced their destiny and I for one am overjoyed to hang it around their necks like the albatross. May they float on the seas of oblivion forever.

When you have a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives there is no need whatsoever to compromise on the budget, or individual appropriations bills.

It is up to the Democrats to compromise on other things they might want ~ not ours.
