And you wanted to know why they are called the stupid party? Just like mitchie giving away the store before the negotiations even begin.

Might as well send the rest of Congress home. They are just trappings and bunting now.

Good job, GOP. You just ended the remnants of the Republic.

"I don't want to rule anything in or out," Camp said. "I am willing to discuss all issues that might help us reduce our short and long-term debt and grow our economy. Everything is on the table, until we as a group rule it out."

As usual the headline is at odds with what he actually said and the usual "Conservatives" are once again stamped into hysteric by the Progressive Fascist media.

No wonder you people continually get your political butts kicked. This is akin to going to Radio Berlin in 1942 to find out how the Allies war effort is doing.

Wow! Who woulda guessed we’d be sold out?

Anyone out there talking tax revolt yet?

Damn! Fell for it again!

The Deficit Reduction Panel is a joke.

S&P might just as well issue the next downgrade now. These folk aren't going to cut anything.

This makes me sick. If the GOP goes along with tax increases, they are dead as a party.

fortunately Pelosi’s picks are so hard-hard left this thing is going off the road and into the ditch

Wow.. give away the position already. Thanks Dave.

FAIL

Not too late to UNappoint him.

I probably would have said the same thing, and then fight like crazy to cut the budget w/o any tax increases. But then, I guess politically that makes too much sense.

Quit borrowing money!! Quit raising our taxes!!

It's the spending, stupid!!

CUT THE DAMNED SPENDING, ALREADY!!!

Any Republican, er, RINO who stupidly goes along with this borrow, tax and SPEND national bankruptcy scheme ~~should~~ WILL be voted OUT of office!!

It's not that we're not taxed enough, our treasonous politicians SPEND too much!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Enough with Republicans. Enough with the argument of splitting the vote if you go third party. This is an example of how they are just as much the enemy right here and why we got into this position to begin with and why the Republican party needs to die.

The way I see it, that’s Boehner’s Strike Three - December’s cuts, debt limit negotiations and now this.

Boehner and his ilk can’t solve THE MONEY throuble because THRY ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Sounds like a man asking for a primary....
