I want CCS, Cut Cap and Surplus.

Is everyone forgetting the 14T debt we’re paying interest on?

CCB means deadbeat Congress isn’t planning on paying off the debt they rang up?

Pay it or be evicted.

The Dems and RINOs need the debt deal. They purchase their constituents. Conservatives earn their’s.

Agreed. The only good thing is we did keep the Dems from raising taxes.

That’s a big deal.

But, without major cuts, we still will have a credit downgrade.

Bachmann actually voted against CCB so I don’t think she’d do something like that. She said she’d only vote to increase the debt ceiling if it was coupled with a repeal of the health care law.

New convert to Levin here. I had never heard his radio program until the other night when he was ranting about Boehner and every other politician looking to kick the can down the road. Was priceless hearing him scream into the mic “We ARE BROKE!” backed up with useful facts about our current financial circle j*^#. Lot of spirit to his show!

If Boehner can’t get anything passed the GOP in the Senate won’t have the balls to filibuster. The RINOs in the Senate will vote to end debate and then vote against the bill. It will pass.

Why won’t Reid just water down CCB and send it back?

A lot.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if August 2 becomes “the day” for Sarah to announce her intentions?

“The House will have to vote to break the rules to let the new version of the Boehner bill be introduced and voted on the same day.”

Give me a rule in CONgress that can't be broken. We don't have a government. It's a semi Banana Republic moving to the real thing.

No more compromises. The Senate can debate CCB. The House has done its job.

Yep, bump that.

I am a conservative, and have been on this forum since 1999. Calling a fellow Republican “ Boner”?? Immature and ridiculous.

I'm a real conservative that has been here before you. Boner Boner Boner Boner - a hack. Hack Boner. (Just my opinon)

“Tea party backers — why don’t you form your own political party? You are an embarassment to may Republicans.”


What did you think of the Obama-Boehner previous budget deal back in April 2011? Read the article below. He is either incompetent, easily misled or devious or some combination of each. Do you think this made him worthy of your respect? The Tea Party, on the other hand, is trying to preserve the solvency of the country and protect you and your children’s futures.

NATIONAL JOURNAL: A Congressional Budget Office analysis of the fiscal 2011 spending deal that Congress will vote on Thursday concludes that it would cut spending this year by less than one-tenth of what both Republicans or Democrats have claimed.

A comparison prepared by the CBO shows that the omnibus spending bill, advertised as containing some $38.5 billion in cuts, will only reduce federal outlays by $352 million below 2010 spending rates...The astonishing result, according to CBO, is the result of several factors: increases in spending, especially at the Defense Department; decisions to draw over half of the savings from recissions; and cuts to reserve funds and and money for mandatory-spending programs that might never have been spent.

The courage being shown in the House is not going unnoticed in the senate or in all of America. Another 24 hours of blistering the RINO’s and leaving Obama on the curb and we might get a whole new ball game. Patriotism is stirring. Pelosi is in a full blown moonbat panic because she has been around long enough to know when she should be. That’s comforting.

1. I’ve been here as long as you. Simply changed handles back in 2004.

2. I referred to Boehner as “Bonehead” (not “Boner”) because he’s making bone-headed decisions.

3. It’s funny that you thought of “Boner” when referring to Boehner.
