Comments on: How the GOP f’ed it all up (f-bomb warning)

You missed the ‘Gang of Six’ coming out to undercut the possibility of standing behind ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’. All water under the bridge. This battle can still be won decisively.

Indpendents have been scare-mongered by Dingy Harry, BHO, and the rest of the corrupt Progressive gang (including MSM)into falsely believing not raising the ceiling is a “default” armageddon scenario. This is a trap the Progressive gang has set for themselves -since they have offered no solutions and independents are actually paying attention due to the scare mongering. To close the trap, the GOP needs to have something to call a take or leave it ‘final offer.’ Right now that’s the Boehner plan, as flawed as it is in the numbers. But the numbers don’t matter right now. What matters is the 3-D political chess game to close the trap Progressive gang has set for itself. If Boehner’s plan passes the House today – it’s check mate. The Progressives then own turning down the only available “solution” (fully credited to Boehner by independents) vs. admitting to an agitated nation they were full of s**t all along.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”

Steve,

Firstly, I got shuffled over here by virtue of your very good HA efforts. I aim to be a frequent visitor; your work efforts look inviting.

This is an excellent primer of the last fortnight’s debt ceiling kerfuffle and, for the most part, I agree with your analysis.

However — and I do not wish to be a Pollyanna about all this — but it is an evidence of conservative strength that we are having a protracted discussion IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER about something as fundamentally boring as a debt ceiling in the first place.

Think back. If it is as so many of our liberal opponent like to point out that during the Reagan years, this was raised 18 times, then that sure whizzed by me without attracting too much attention.

It is not that such matters are not serious, it’s just that, heretofore, many of us have been mirror-fogging mouth breathers and now, because we have a raving, egotistical, narcissistic, incompetent chief executive, a coterie of sycophants chosen from the faculty lounges of various bastions of ivory towered academia, and a congress whose business as usual stinks of putrefied back room bargaining that it has been so repugnant as to attrct our attention.

The excesses of The Chicago Jesus’s initial months in office, The Stimulatio, Obama’s consistently demonstrated ineptness, and the hundreds of cases of government over-reach resulted in the elections of 2010. We are now awake, vigilant, angry, and motivated.

I am inclined to believe that Boehner and the other clods (both left and RINO right) will continue these shenanigans with diminishing success. Just because the elections of 2010 occurred, it does not mean we can rest. Today it’s the debt ceiling. In six months, if Boehner is successful in limiting its rise, it will be the debt ceiling again. The it will be the 2012 elections. Then..?

If we are lucky to wrest control of the senate from the Democrats and seize the White House, then we will have to stand guard over these people (especially if the new POTUS is Romney, just sayin’) to ensure there is no back-sliding and DC-itus.

But that we were able to recognize this crap and hold Boehner’s feet to the fire is a tribute to the fact we are now awake and alert. Remember, owing to the 2010 elections, we have quite a junior varsity in the state legislatures warming up and waiting to take the field.

Mr Boehner & Co., you are on notice that you may very well have your asss primaried.

And what is the unspoken deep dark truth – it’s all bullshit. Both sides.

Washington has NO INTENTION fo cutting spending, period. Including Boner. His insulting proposal was scored by the CBO as cutting one billion dollars this year. ONE ! In DC that’s called ‘a rounding error’. Chump change. Grease for the wheels.

All the rest was ‘in the out years’, IOW ‘down the road’, where future Congress’s will wipe it out.

It’s like a heroin junky saying ‘I’m gonna shoot up $ 1000 worth every day this year, but I’ll cut back to $ 999 a day. 5 years from now, I’ll try to cut back to $ 900. And ten years from now, a mere $ 500 / day.

It’s all bullshit. Both sides, all parties.

About the only positive thing that can be said about Boehner is that he appears to be ‘without guile’–that is, he’s reasonably honest and he expects the (D) to be the same.

Yah, I know. Boehner’s actually as stupid as a frog…….but hey.

There are a couple of different negotiating methodologies which are usually successful. Boehner picked none of them, and expects Conservatives to ‘get their asses in line’ behind him.

IOW, “Follow Me Because I’m REALLY Stupid!!!”

That asshole from AZ–McCain the Loser–didn’t help, nor did the well-manicured and well-coiffed Blowhard from KY. Both undermined the House as soon as they could.

And the (R) Party expects me to volunteer for them…….
