I’ve made my calls to Alexander and Corker TN....told them NO on this unconstitutional piece of garbage, and we here in TN are mad as H.

You have that right and I listened to the press conference and while it is good to have the blank check Democrat approach to spending slowed down there are very bad things in this bill which I find alarming. Specifically the creation of a ‘Super Congress’ which is EPA-like in the sense that whatever comes out of this ‘Super Congress’ can not be stopped without a 2/3rds vote. There are some features of this that are redeeming but the danger is in the question ‘How much do you trust them?”. I certainly don’t.
We didn’t lose in the sense that Washington is still just rubber stamping the debt ceiling but this is much like having your opponent bloodied and then calling a time out to let him recover. Also the credit rating downgrade they keep talking about is a certainity. Its going to happen. This bill is not going to slow that train down one bit. Now I’m not certain that a credit downgrade is a bad thing in the long run because it will make it harder to justify extending debt limits however you can be certain that when it does happen you will have this phrase repeated over and over in the media and campaigns “The Republicans took us to the brink and we are sufferring a credit downgrade because of it”. Will that stick I’m not sure.
That Democrats are not getting new tax increases is not a loss to them. They did lose the debate however the GOP in this deal is pulling its punches in hopes of running out the clock to 2012 and that strategy is a strategy to lose.
We basically have a ‘deal’ that doesn’t really cut the scope of spending and puts a lot of faith in a dangerous ‘super congress’ that will be split evenly between Democrats and GOP. We should know before any vote goes forward who the Republicans are going to be on this ‘Super Congress’ because I just don’t trust the idea and it would take a 2/3rds majority vote to override.
The irony of this is that the scope of debt ceiling increase is bigger than TARP. The first increase will be over 900 billion! This is NEW spending.
It's absolutely idiotic to pile on more debt and continue spending when you're already so deeply in debt that you can never get out.
No deal would be better than this MARXIST POS!!
BUMP, it can't be repeated enough!!!
IMHO. nothing will happen until we fall flat on our faces. I live on my measley retirement check and a SS check. The ex gets most of everything. I would give it all up and live on the streets if it would help us get back to the basics of what government is supposed to do. Live within your means. How hard is that to understand????
I just called my representative from SC (Tim Scott) and was told he was LOOKING at the bill. I informed him that he had better find out how his constituents are feeling...FAST.
I also told his assistant that it’s all over the news what kind of POS this bill is and that how I vote in the 2012 election will rest SOLELY on this bill.
I’m seeing red right now.
“The Hill” says it may not pass.
Yep, rebellion is in the works. Can’t wait for the 2012 election......
Ok so let’s say this bill passes as it seems it probably will. Then what? What happens if 2012 goes in our favor and we gain even more seats in the house and we get back the Senate and pray God, Obama loses. Or,what if we get back the whole of Congress but Obama still wins. Are future Congresses bound to this agreement. I know it will become law but can it be repealed or whatever? Or what if new legislation is proposed and passed that cuts taxes and basically nullifies this deal?
Someone please help me out. Give me best case scenario if this turd passes.
I received this from a friend who is a member of Klamath County Tea Party from the No. Klamath County Patriot:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has notified. in writing. the banks to inspect their safety deposit boxes and freeze any gold, silver, guns or other valuables they find in them!
This order is also given that storage facilities be searched for the same to be seized!
May I add that unless our votes are cast in a precinct voting booth, and the votes are counted by human hands instead of manipulative computers by the government itself, we will never be able to reverse the Socialist direction Obama is taking the country and head resolutely in the direction to our beloved Constitution and Bill of Rights.
It has been proven over and over that SOCIALISM IS SUICIDE!

I am now just totally disgusted with the national Republican Party. They willfully acquiesced to the Democrats lies about August 2nd being 'default day' and scurried to 'make a deal' that they could claim was a 'victory' for the GOP because it didn't specifically include any new taxes. However, the 'deal' gives the Marxist president Obama permission to immediately borrow over 2 trillion dollars, leading the U.S. deeper in debt while the spending 'cuts' are relatively small and mostly ethereal, conveniently spaced out over a decade, making them less than useless. As so many are saying: we've been had, yet again. Had enough, yet? I have. I'm hoping the TEA party Representatives hold the line and sink this insult to the American taxpayer.
That Michele Bachman is vowing to vote against this monstrosity has raised my admiration for her. I'm hoping my real favorite, Sarah Palin, makes a definitive statement on this proposed Bill and that she wallops it hard,, as she should. If she doesn't - or remains silent - Palin will have greatly diminished her stature as a constitutional conservative, in my eyes. I don't think that will happen. In any event, I'm against this Bill and I'm against any Republican House member that votes for it, no matter their past record or conservative 'credentials'. This is the metaphorical 'line in the sand' for most conservatives. It certainly is for me. Cross it and - as a member of congress - you're no longer representing me (or any American) but simply playing the old political game of 'screw the taxpayer'. Well, this time it'll be coming right back at you because we're done with this crap.
Has anyone else lost Comcast signal? Here in SC, it has been down for about an hour now.
At this point, paranoia is your friend.
Not enough Tea Partyers in the Congress to get everything they want. Need another election cycle at least.
If Ryan and West say that is the best we can do then so be it.
Let's hope so.
Thank God, I've got a good Rep.
Go Tea Party Patriots!!!!
