What are the chances they are playing politics instead of getting punked...again.

I don’t see this as a surrender....it’s a game of poker. The President think he has a great hand in this deal...opts to raise the ceiling...then thinks he can fix it with mostly taxes and a handful of cuts. The taxes go after the companies and rich by November of this year, and the next recession starts up by February of next year. The government has no more money to flush into a fresh new recession...and so the Presidents gets full credit for a huge loss of jobs by July of 2012. Just in time for the election.

Frankly, the President’s only hope would be to make massive cuts...which his staff just won’t buy off on. I think McConnell has guessed completely right. Meanwhile....if this debt-king power is arranged...I’d put all money into bonds for the next six months and prepare for another massive recession.

Such a bad plan. Sure Obama takes all the blame but the entire country gets the shaft.

BAD PLAN!!!!

Both parties suck............ :(

[GoCards]

WTH is wrong with these folks. Hell lets just go ahead and make the deal. Telling the otherside that this will be it if not another deal is made — why make another deal. This one is a grand slam. Im done with the GOP, not one red cent NONE

Should Boner surrender/cave, he and his ilk is DONE, Done.

The Republican Party may as well fold its tent if it goes with McConnell’s appeasement plan. Turn out the lights, the Party’s over.

Ryan said this is O.K. as a back-up plan, not his preference, but O.K. He was on Hannity earlier today.

McConnell’s “Plan B” on the debt limit, unveiled by the top Senate Republican on Tuesday ahead of a negotiating session at the White House, would allow the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling to be raised in three separate stages while putting the political burden of doing so on President Obama and congressional Democrats.

Obama and his crew don't care about "political burdens". They only care about spending more money on more handouts. That translates into more votes from more freeloaders. They're happy to keep borrowing until the end of time, or the end of America, whichever comes first.

Republicans can’t really be this stupid. Giving Obama the authority to raise the debt limit is the same as voting to raise the debt limit. PERIOD.

[KansasGirl]

How is this gonna pass the House? Which Republicans are going to fall on their sword and vote for this? Any Republican who votes for this can kiss re-election goodbye. And do they not think that the media is going to hang raising the debt limit around their necks just the same as they will hang anything else. They might as well stand on the side of truth and doing the right thing for Ameria. What a bunch of cowards they are!

House & Senate GOP Leadership War Plan

Harry Reid thinks the McConnell plan is great. In fact, it appears the Dems are going to adopt it as their own. That should make the Reps go Hmmmmmmmm.

[P-Marlowe]

These people took an oath to uphold the Constitution. This plan is patently unconstitutional!

We really need to tar and feather these Chicken $#!+ RINOs and run them out of Washington on a rail.

[PogySailor]

Wonder why I tossed two more fund raising letters in the trash tonight RNC?

[webschooner]

It’s really an amazing feat that somehow these worthless wusses manage to walk more or less upright without the benefit of spines.

[editor-surveyor]

I’ve been telling people for weeks that Boehner has his cave-in speech already written and memorized...

GREAT!!Give MORE power to the Executive Branch. CONGRESS won’t do what they’re supposed to do. Pass a budget. Make Zero Veto it.
