“Bela Pelosi..”

Hey that’s good, but I’m afraid you have offended vampires everywhere.

Pelosi would happily return to being speaker. What’s the name of that other fellow who couldn’t say ‘no’?

Nobody cares to remember him, but the MSM might trot him out to endorse "compromise" any time now

They NEED Pelosi since the GOP leadership is going to ABANDON the Tea Party caucus.

The deal that will be cut will cut the Tea Party wing of the GOP O. U. T.

Both sides have decided to put us in our place.

We'll have to punish the GOP fist, then eliminate the dims as a political force.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive at best.

I have to agree that the Establishment GOP has their panties wadded up over the Tea Party. And attempt to marginalize them at every turn. But I truly believe some waves are being made.

The TEA party isn't going to go away. That is what neither side understands.

I post the following for humor only. Maybe the TP Caucus could craft demands for the debt ceiling/budget/ and balanced budget amendment. We could solicit SanFranNan to be a “hired gun” to ram thru the demands. (no doubt she is a political ho). As much as I despise her, she has far more...male parts than Boner and McConnell. AND...it would have the added benefit of giving Barry severe heartburn. She could then be kicked to the curb and her constituency would hate her.

It gives me a chuckle even though it isn't the real world.

The dems are hoping for a near crash to justify deep deep military cuts similar to what happened to the USSR.

Glad to see the old sleeze back in the game. That will make sure there is no deal.

... she is torn between playing deal-maker on a debt limit increase and fully protecting the priorities of Democrats’ liberal base.

Aren't they one and the same?

I’m sorry, I don’t understand why Boehner—or an House conservative—is negotiating with the Marxist Pelosi. Boehner ought to produce a budget that: 1. Materially reduces government spending. 2. Kills government policies that punishes individual and business success. 3. Kill ineffective/failed and that have not achieved their purpose. 4. Kill fraudulent gov’t programs/policies. These include anything to do with climate change (aka global warming)—like ethanol, so-called alternative energy subsidies and Onadacare. 5. Stakes out a clear plan for forcing the Fed Gov’t to operate on a balanced budget. Obviously this includes eliminating the current and growing deficit.

I suspect it can be passed in the House if Boehner has the courage to just do it. Force the Senate to vote it down or pass it. If it votes it down then let the Senators who voted for it answer to the voters. If the Senate ultimately passes it then let the Usurping Marxist Onada veto it—and answer to the voters. If he signs it he will lose his screwy Marxist base. It’ll find another commie to run in his place. Either way conservatism wins because Onada is gone.

Any thinking non-ideological person living outside the Beltway can see that we are not in a compromise situation. The government is fiscally broke and its policies are broke. There needs to be a radical new beginning—a reset— that gets us back to Constitutional baselines. We’re way past the time a nibble here or there will fix anything—even in the short term.

I challenge Mr. Boehner to a least try to emulate The Founding Father’s and think big for a change. This is not about politics any longer. It is about the survival of the American way of life.

Marxists want to dismantle every thing that made our country the greatest social and economic engine the world has ever known. What do they want to replace it with? An ideology, Marxism, that has failed miserably every where it’s been tried.

The Marxist elite believe it is unfair for some person or group to have more than another person or group. Ambition, brains and the willingness to take risk mean nothing to them. If this utopia cannot be achieved then they believe it is their job to be in charge of the shared misery—the Marxist elite excepted.
