Well, I don’t agree. I heard him on Fox and he was mean and acerbic.

We need to embrace this as a victory, and go on to more victories.

Whining and blaming Boehner are easy if you are on the radio.

Absolutely agree. Levin apparently hasn't learned Alinsky 101: you take a victory, any time, any place, then demand more, then demand more.

Our side is still stuck in the notion that if you don't get every single thing you want, it's a loss. Barbra Streisand.

You’re right, even tho it’s not popular to say so here.
Ezra Klein wrote a pretty good piece for the WaPo saying that Dems have lost a lot more than they realize because this has solidified Boehner as a powerful Speaker who can rally his troops even when they don’t agree and deliver the goods. (Remember that as much as we disliked her, Pelosi was very good at her job). Moreover the cuts set a precedent that will lead to more policy defeats in the coming months, and policy defeats will diminish Obama and the Democrat power just as we’ve already seen happen as Obama has had to abandon most of his campaign promises (Gitmo, Bush tax policy, Bush anti terror policies, etc.

It will never register with many who post on FR but this is what registers with the center-right and independents. The more they see Obama and the Dems as losers, the better the chances of defeating them in coming elections and rolling-back their destructive policies.

You won’t hear Rush talking like Levin, because he knows this has always been about defeating Obama’s policies.

levin is expressing his opinion - just as you are - except that he did not call your opinion "whining" like you did

levin did not take boehner's job - i assure you that if he did, this bill you like would not have been accepted

the above is not a personal attack - what follows is

for someone that twists language of others as a 'personal attack', you should consider not calling the opinion of others 'whining'

Anyone who thinks this a victory in any way must either be a Statist, a government worker, or incredibly naive.

Mark Levin was right on the money. $38B out of nearly $4 Trillion is a victory? It's nothing. Our Founding fathers are crying because our so called leaders are weak and unprincipled beyond words.

The Rep leadership deserves nothing but our contempt. Levin is brilliant, not mean or acerbic.
