That's where we'll have to agree to disagree. Fact is we're cutting spending. That is a WIN. You cannot tell me Obama or any of the other Dems would have cut spending if Nancy Pelosi was in control in the House. Also, the defunding of Planned Parenthood now has to come up as a stand alone bill. The House will vote to defund it. There are 23 Dems up for re-election in the Senate, many from red states. If they vote to keep tax payer funded abortions they'll have to run on it in 2012. Finally Obama said in his speech tonight that under different circumstances there wouldn't be cuts. Obama and the Dems are the big LOSERS tonight not Boehner.

‘That is a WIN.’

The race is not over. Don’t put down the whip until we cross the finish line. If they can’t stand the heat, they should get out of the kitchen.

We lost! We lost! We lost! ....and all the Republican apologists on FR are celebrating like we won! We won! We won!

We now know for certain Boehner will never go to the limit to defund Obamacare.

Obamacare is here to stay,
and all the Republican apologists,
feel quite gay!

You’re right, but it begs the question, why didn’t dems do all this when they had all the power?
