I don’t want to hear what John “heh heh my friend” McCain has to say about ANYTHING. It ain’t good for my blood pressure! Can we have an FR ban on McCain for a while? Send him off with Willie Green on the choo-choo?

Good!

And in the House, Pelosi has been told to get a 100+ votes to make up for the conservative Republicans who won’t support it.

This bill will have “NOT TEA PARTY” written all over it LOL!

I’m wondering if this “compromise” will be very much like the first TARP bill in 2008 that unexpectedly failed in the House. That too was a “moderate” bill that alienated people on the left and right and it turned out there were not enough in the “middle” to pass it.

That can happen.

Often it can happen with no orchestration, since the folks in question are not accustomed to working with each other.

But the far left hate this bill. Failure to pass is possible.

Good. Best plan is the “Do Nothing Plan.” No debt ceiling increase. No tax increases. Government has too start cutting and prioritizing spending immediately. Don’t pass anything!

And you think there are Non-RINOs in the Senate? By your definition I would think there are none.

Why are some saying ol’ 40% Obama is in a better position for reelection? He’s been further damaged during this battle. The cuts here are a joke, and it continues to be a club we beat him with.

“Are we screwed?”

Until Texas secedes I’m afraid the answer is yes.

The North Vietnamese did those for him in Hanoi, over 40 years ago.
