I hope this newly elected Tea Party Crew revolt against Boehner and tell him to @*!@ himself!

[rawhide]

Bohner caving as expected. obamma’s favorite Republican. All bark, no bite!

[hosepipe]

Alright TpCaucus members start taking names remember the votes.. and being very very vocal..

Time to start seeking primary candidates.. we need to clean up the HOUSE and the Senate..

[svcw]

I have an idea cut spending and the debt limit will not be an issue.
Good grief take a chain saw to the budget and stop using baby scissors.

[Prokopton]

They cave before they even have a chance to cave. Boehner is just as dangerous as Pelosi. I don’t trust anyone in the House who doesn’t rally against him.

How long until someone here on FR comes in to defend these clowns? They are NOT conservative. They are not us. Just because the Democrats don’t like them, doesn’t mean we have to.

The guy on the afternoon talk show on KKOB predicted this as soon as they announced the budget deal. These idiots disappoint.

My guess is that they want to do it now and not wait until after the summer break, when they get yelled at by angry voters.

Boner is a TRAITOR.

But Republicans did not step back from their demand that any increase in U.S. borrowing authority be accompanied by serious spending reductions.

[Enough is ENOUGH]

There’s not a damn dime’s worth of difference between the Progressive Social Democrats and the Fabian Republicans. They’ve both created the $14 trillion and still growing national debt.

Senator Kent Conrad, one of the six, said he was preparing his own budget plan that would raise tax revenue

Let's see...Cantor's party affiliation is mentioned, Henserling's party affiliation is mentioned, but no mention of Conrad's party. Right. Don't want to associate Democrats too closely with tax hikes, now do we?

[onyx]

I so want to swear!

[Chgogal]

Cowards!

FU RINOs.

I caution my fellow Freepers to withhold judgment until it is clear what Boehner and Cantor have said and why. It is quite possible that Boehner has said that a all-encompassing agreement is possible, providing their are real and enforceable cuts and spending. We must consider that the source is Reuters appearing on Yahoo.

It is also possible that Boehner is in fact going wobbly at the knees in which case he will cause a rupture in the Republican Party. This may be what this article is trying to achieve.

However, the omens are not good and the indications certainly are that the Republicans do not have their act together, they are not speaking with a coherent voice, they are not preparing the ground for this showdown, they, in effect, will end up in the same position they were at the time of the budget showdown in which they had not adequately made their case.

Time is running out even though Gaithner has extended the deadline August 2 because of increased tax revenues. I think Republicans should, as my namesake would say, "put the scare on" the old folks about the destruction of their Medicare and Social Security systems as and when the system implodes because no one will buy our bonds. Put Obama on the defensive instead of the other way around and make him the destroyer of the social net.

Another story about the useless girly-men running the GOP in the House. Some things just don’t change.

The C’s of GOP “leadership”:
Cringe
Cower
Collaborate
Cooperate
Capitulate
Cave

[central_va]

We need more Teapublicans!

[longtermmemmory]

Geitner must have been scared because NOW the debt limit will not hit until AUGUST!

seems democrats did not have the votes.
