HOLD THE LINE!!

They'll have to come back to you. DEMAND a REAL CUT in spending!! Do not under any circumstance approve a debt ceiling increase!! Instead, insist on real spending cuts NOW!! The country is bankrupt. Do not allow them to take us deeper into debt! It's time for the HOUSE to do its job of controlling the spending!

The federal government is bankrupt due to Obama's reckless spending. Cut up his credit cards and force him to quit spending! It's time to put Obama and company into receivership! Make them come to the House to authorize current payments on the debts as they come due so that we don't default. Do not authorize any spending whatsoever on discretionary items until the spending crisis is solved. Pay the obligated social security checks, the military, the interest and the required debt payments, but that's just about it until our fiscal house is in order!

Make no bones about it. We sent you to Washington for one reason and one reason only and that is to take control of our big spending, big taxing problems and get our economy going again so our our people can get back to work!! Do not let the DC ruling class sway you. Do not take your eye off the ball. Do not fail to do your job! Our nation's survival depends upon your vote!!

Tell Boehner to get HIS ass in line!! Cut the damned spending, already!!

Reinforcements are coming in 2012!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

DON'T TREAD ON ME!!

I’m in. Business is dead. Most days I could leave the door locked and no one would notice.

Might as well do something worthwhile.

I would settle for a model of federalism that simply predates the New Deal!

I’d love to do that, but FR is just one organization of many. We need to get the big tea party groups on the line. Would love to do a full week long Civil War camp out and re-enactment complete with booming cannons across from the White House.

Bullchit. The sooner this farce hits the wall, the better. Compromise? That’s so yesterday. Regardless of what happens with the vote, the next few years are going to be a repeat of 1855-1860. That is, before things got really “interesting”.

I'm in the same boat, as you say:

More is never enough for the leeches. They will always demand even more.

Every time there's an election, the democrat politicians offer some type of free hand out to the democrat base. No free handout, there's no getting out of bed to vote.
The democrats take money from the taxpayers (employed - the majority being right wing) and buy votes with it from the non-taxpayers ( unemployed by choice non-taxpayers).
That's what democrat politicians do to stay in power. That's ALL they do. Without our money to hand out to the democrat base, the democrats in Washington are toast.
The tax and spend democrats must be sweating bullets right now. The Tea Party has risen, and they're not going to be robbed by these people anymore. They need cash - lots of it - to buy votes in 2012, and now their unlimited spending is being threatened.

Remember the Alamo! Some things are worth fighting and dying politically for.

Did it just now. Hello Rep. Kevin Brady!

“Congressional Freshmen – For Such A Time As This
by Sarah Palin... “

Yes, that is a fine conservative manifesto. Worth her recycling of it I suppose.

I skimmed it so may have missed it, but I did not notice the answer to my question about our rapidly approaching ceiling.

Is she on the Bachmann/TEA side... or Boehner’s?

Raise it or not?

Does she support Boehner’s bill?

Who is it that should be getting their asses in line... in Palin’s opinion?

Inquiring primary minds want to know.

That’s what I’m talking about! Let’s get it going. I bet if you start an Action here and get the word out to the big TP groups, we can bring in 1-2 Million Patriots. (I think that you will see that there are countless numbers of us that are fed up to our eyeballs and are tired of sitting around watching the daily destruction. We need to ACT!)

Do any of these people on the Hill really think that this is going to get easier? They need to stiffen their spines because this is going to get WAY harder next year and before election, they’re going to find it impossible to say no if they can’t say no now.
