McCarthy said no vote tonight half a minute ago via Echofon
:) I actually lurked for a year or so before I signed up!
I guess I am just plain worn out.
Sorry if I offended anyone.
There’s nothing that Reid is involved with that is good for this country. Just say no!
we better hope that this DELAY results in a better bill passing House soon because judgment day is near.
Boner is a hack, an establishment hack. These hacks don't take real conservatism serious. Play the game/business as usual. Back deals against the Tea party. What an disloyal ass.
The House has to pass H.R. 2402 and send it to the Senate before they send anything else over there.
H.R. 2402 mandates that the interest, Social Security and Medicare and the military get paid if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. Democrats can’t vote against it. Think of the campaign adds saying they voted against paying Social Security, Medicare, and the military.
Amen!
Psalm 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD
well, I’ve seen him called that name many times on FR lately!
I support the basic plans you all do, believe it or not!
“I’m a real conservative that has been here before you. Boner Boner Boner Boner - a hack. Hack Boner. (Just my opinon)”
We’ve been having a learned debate on this thread tonight on whether the esteemed speaker is worth a bucket of cold goat phlegm, or rather, is his worth more accurately measured by a cup of putrifying weasel snot?
What say you?
HR 2402 takes that tactic away from Democrats and the MSM.
Here’s the Bill:
HR 2402 IH
112th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2402
To specify the priority of the obligations of the United States Government if the debt ceiling is reached.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
June 24, 2011
Mr. WEBSTER introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To specify the priority of the obligations of the United States Government if the debt ceiling is reached.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘Prioritize Spending Act of 2011’.
SEC. 2. PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS IF THE DEBT CEILING IS REACHED.
In the event that the debt of the United States Government, as defined in section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, reaches the statutory limit, amounts necessary for obligations incurred by the Government of the United States shall be made available to the following obligations before all other obligations and shall be made available as prioritized in the following order (with items listed in descending order of prioritization):
(1) Amounts necessary to carry out the authority of the Department of the Treasury provided in section 3123 of title 31, United States Code, to pay with legal tender the principal and interest on debt held by the public.
(2) Such amounts as the Secretary of Defense (and the Secretary of Homeland Security in the case of the Coast Guard) determines to be necessary to continue to provide pay and allowances (without interruption) to members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, including reserve components thereof, who perform active service.
(3) Such amounts as the President certifies to the Congress are necessary to carry out vital national security priorities.
(4) Amounts necessary to carry out the authority of the Commissioner of Social Security to pay monthly old-age, survivors’, and disability insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act.
(5) Amounts necessary to make payments under the Medicare program under title XVIII of the Social Security Act.
Here is something completely immature and ridiculous.
We just found out that McConnell was the one watering down Reid's Boner.
"They are terrified that when the debt ceiling is hit, people will see that the world doesnt stop, the money still taken from their paychecks still gets spent, and we have been lied to for decades.........
And . . if the American people find out that simple truth, these liars will be strung up in the street and we will be free from this awful bondage.
The problem here is the old men up there see a loss of spending as a loss of their power and influence, I mean the private jets and little whores go away, if they are no longer able to perform tricks for their K street masters.
And the gang of six or seven who sabotaged the whole thing gets off scott free - not to mention Mitch.
It should have been the cut, cap, balance - period!
Well, according to Benjamin Franklin that's what it took to get the first continental congress to agreement.
My bad. Sorry but these establishment POS are the destruction of a once great nation. People of the like such as Laura Ingraham & Pence & Alan West fall into this trap. Have a good evening.
Now that enough Republicans have said no to the House Republican Leadership, to prevent a Republican bill from passing in the House, a compromise bill will be fashioned that fetches enough Democrat and moderate Republicans votes to pass in the both houses. So, McConnell will decide where the line is drawn in the sand, not Eric Cantor.
If Boner doesn't have the votes, he is over. He has NO CHOICE but to resign his Speakership.
And, chaos will shortly ensue.
The GOP NEEDS new leadership, in the House on on the national stage. Boner aint it.
McConnell aint it.
Those freshmen who succumbed to DC and Boner, they aint it either.
That INCLUDES EVERY stinkin' one of them.
:That West fella who calls himself a Colonel too.
This political system has their foot so far up your rear end you don't even know it anymore.
Who's "We". You can give up if you want, I will keep fighting.
