LMAO... “this deal is very fair, and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

- also, thanks for the ping, Ernest

[glock rocks]

Any Republican who even debates the Harry Reid/Senate plan should be publicly flogged with a wet copy of the US Constitution

Naw, the Constitution is only a few pages. Use the Obamacare bill.

Thanks Ernest.

Thank you Paul Revere at the Beach!!! I've been watchin 'em mill around in the well of the senate, voting on whether to require themselves to return to their seats, or not.

Our best hope is for total gridlock extending through Nov. 2012, followed by a landslide of disgust by the rational people of America. The trick will be getting the truth understood by those rational types through the burgeoning brown cloud put in our atmosphere by the MSM!!!

God save America, please!!! (and BLEEP the traitorous MSM)

You know what will probably happen... They will probably allow themselves to be panicked by the false spector of supposed default into voting for some POS solution based strictly on "Hurry! Do something, anything immediately, even if it's wrong!!!"

I put up a link to a MoneyMarket.com article yesterday, that reminded everyone who read it that the same exact "debt ceiling" increase "crisis" popped up during Dwight D. Eisenhour's presidency. Congress wouldn't pass it then and the Treasurery Dept. liquidated enough of the then vast gold reserves with the central bank to pay all the bills for over a year!!!

Even if our Federal Gold Reserve is diminished today, what we have is based on $40/ounce prices and with the price/ounce now at over 1600/oz, it would still save us from mistakes induced by panic mongers in the three branches with the media megaphone blaring BS all over all of us!!!

Here’s the link to the link I posted yesterday and referred to just above:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2755750/posts?page=5#5

I caught a replay of the House voting on the Reiid bill (I think sometime today ) and talk about a bunch of BS being blathered out...mostly the Dems were ravaging about the Republicans deleting 500 Billion from medicare...in the Ryan bill...now how does that compute with the Bill on the Floor...

If you can handle seeing that...watch for a replay on CSPAN...

Just unbelievable!!!

Open thread: House to vote on Reid’s debt bill — before he offers it; Update: 43 GOP senators sign letter opposing Reid’s bill; Update: House defeats Reid’s bill, 173/246 — with Democratic help Share

Yes! It's on C-SPAM 1, right now!!! (I've been watching some of it.

The only thing hurtful about Ryan's proposal (It's not a bill yet as far as I know) is that those under 56 be put on a wide choice of Medicare Advantage Plans which I have been enrolling greatful senior clients in for the past 5 years!!!

That's FAR from deleting 500 billion from Medicare. It is rather providing private sector choices for future seniors, which those worshipping at the public sector alter abhor!!!

OK back to CSPAN...interesting detail in the Hot Air article...see link just above.

[SierraWasp]

C-SPAN 2 in the Senate right now (live)... Some really good speeches by Coburn and Sessions. Especially Sessions!!!

[Terry Mross]

Don’t you think this is wonderful? This is the plan we’ve all be waiting for! We should all shout for joy! Our country is saved! sarc
