Thanks for the kind words. :)

May God continue to bless America.

[Repeal 16-17]

Can someone fix the time stamps. They’re 15 minutes off.

All idiots......

[boatbums]

Unless we have a total and complete collapse of the system or a total and complete revolution then we are going to lose the America we now know. We already are losing the America we now know.

Maybe we SHOULD lose the America we now know in order to get back to the America we once knew.

[keeper53]

gee, thanks...good day to you also

I wish the Tea Party freshmen and women would go as a group to boner and say “Do this our way or we’ll vote for Pelosi for speaker”. I bet that would make boner (pronounced bay-ner) cry.

[RKBA Democrat]

“So, McConnell will decide where the line is drawn in the sand, not Eric Cantor.”

And we might get a viable third party as a result. The gop is flirting with it’s Whig Moment.

[RitaOK]

” Those freshmen who succumbed to DC and Boner, they aint it either. That West fella who calls himself a Colonel too. “ <<<<<

I was pretty shocked at West too! You know the arm twisting usually includes threats of witholding $$$ for re-elections, plum committees, etc. Most of those Tea Party elected went up there to fix things and were beholding to nobody, including Boehner, but their constituents who are on dang fire. They have real jobs and care less if they are re-elected, so nothing works with them. West may want more.

CNN exposed the PERSONAL DEBT of four of the TP caucus tonight during the dinner hour, mocking them for setting themselves up to tackle national debt! There was hardball being played for sure. None of their debt was extraordinary but was made to sound like a scandal. Outrageous!

[anymouse]

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Hang tough TEA party patriots, in Congress and at home keeping their feet to the fire.

Like on that fateful night in 1814, our country's future depends on steadfast bravery in the face of tremendous pressure from tyranny.

F you Boehner. F you Cantor. F you whoever you are Fitzgerald.

F the cowards in the GOP House that is trying to save us nothing but a smaller increase in debt and more debt on top of debt.

Quit whining about how “this is the best we can do” or “we don’t have the numbers” crap.

Pull the damn trigger and let the Dems deal with it. Tell Obama to drop dead.

Tell McConnell to shut up along with McCain and Graham.

CUT REAL SPENDING and let the feces hit the fan. Push the limit you cowards. Take it down. Force the real cuts.

But no, we have Cry-Baby (played by Boehner instead of Johnnie Depp) saying “this is the best we can do”. Increasing spending by 7 trillion over the next 10 years instead of 9 trillion is the best that they can do.

Drop dead Boehner. I hope you rot in hell.

[MrChips]

With what? A handful of fringe tea-party nuts? (not my characterization, but that of the Dems and Pravda, the Media). You can’t run government with 25 votes. You can’t effect change, or fight, with only a bag full of principles and and a rag-rag army that is vastly outnumbered and, in this case, outmaneuvered. Politics sometimes trumps principle. Obama wins the next election, and the country, short of bloody revolution (no, you really don’t want that), is dead and gone, forever.

[sickoflibs]

RE "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"

That and the US has become a welfare nation where almost everyone is dependent on it one way or the other, And pulling away the candy too fast results in a HUGE tantrum by the voter on election day, and those ELECTED are scared?

[kristinn]

I saw that. It was ugly.

BTW, via Twitter:

House Rules Comte passed same-day rule for debt ceiling 8-4; through August 2. 7 minutes ago via web

[MrChips]

I agree.

[RitaOK]

” You can’t run government with 25 votes. You can’t effect change, or fight, with only a bag full of principles and and a rag-rag army that is vastly outnumbered and, in this case, outmaneuvered. “ <<<<<

We just did. Tonight. Thanks be to God.

[RitaOK]

” House Rules Comte passed same-day rule for debt ceiling 8-4; through August 2. 7 minutes ago via web. “ <<<<<

Did you hear what that “Rule” is called.. It’s called “Martial Law”! That’s a heck of a term for a committee rule.

[MrChips]

How? Please explain. I see nothing accomplished. Boehner loses, and the Dems win, the Media wins, Obama wins.

[kristinn]

Well, it is an emergency.

[Terry Mross]

The congress people went to D.C. and made themselves rich. They gave themselves the a retirement system regular people could only dream of. And if the government folds, there goes their wealth. That’s why they will continue this crap for as long as possible.

MrChips, a cave will guarantee obama’s re-election. Stand back and watch. That’s why principle is all there is to fight for.

” 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.”
