Well, that was a brief victory for the speaker of the House. As
expected, the Senate rejected the Boehner plan by a 59-41 vote. All
Democrats voted no. Six Republican senators -- Lindsey Graham, Jim
DeMint, David Vitter, Mike Lee, Orrin Hatch, and Rand Paul -- voted
against Boehner, opposing the plan from the right. (Note that Hatch
must really be worried about a primary challenge.)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn't going to allow a cloture
vote on his own plan tonight, but Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is
already crowing that the modified version is the "only game in
town." Today's dueling congressional votes could set the table for
a Reid-Boehner compromise. But in order for anything to the left of
the Boehner plan to pass the House, the Democrats will need to
guarantee some votes to offset Republican defections. The current
version of the Boehner plan passed without any GOP votes to
spare.
Reid and the other leading Democrats, however, don't sound like
they are in a negotiating mood.
We lose again...walked down to the water by these rubes and
liars...Again....dunked...again....ridiculed...again....whipped

Have you considered| 7.30.11 @ 7:05AM
WL, you are right...this is what betrayal feels like.
I did have high hopes for the Tea Party elected representatives,
but I now see they can be purchased and bullied, just like the rest
of the GOP.
And I have read that the Tea Party has not yet committed to
support a primary challenge to Orrin Hatch...They are losing steam,
and abandoning their stated principles. Hatch has been a part of
the problem for decades. Just like McCain, he will Not Change His
Spots except in campaign mode.
Bob Grant| 7.30.11 @ 9:28AM
Betrayed? How?
You DO realize republicans control 1/2 of 1/3 of the government,
don't you? Cut, Cap, and Balance at this time does not have a
chance. That's reality. Do you really believe if republicans held
their ground on CCB and BBA and we go into default with all of the
associated repercussions they would survive without major political
damage?
You have to work with what is possible. That's politics.
Obama will come out of this looking weak, intransigent, and
ineffectual which is what we want. Republicans need to at least
appear to want to compromise while seriously addressing the debt
crisis. This was the only option.
Remember the eye on the bigger prize which is the presidency and
control of the senate. This was the only pathway toward that
goal.
And YOU must realize that Obama and the Democrats CANNOT spend
more money or get the debt ceiling raised without the Republican
House?
Why give the GOP power if they don't use the power they have to
advance the cause of conservatism?
You people think electing Republicans is an end in itself.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:29PM
Its not 1/2 of 1/3 of the government, but rather it IS 1/3 of
the government. I see this all the time. Also because of checks and
balances it is a necessary 1/3.
simon templar| 7.30.11 @ 10:49AM
We were not betrayed by the the Tea party candidates but rather
by the old guard progressive establishment GOP as always. They held
their ground despite the insults and betrayal of their own GOP
leadership and the onslaught of pressure and slander from the media
and many parts of our own political landscape and tent. The problem
is we are being led into war by generals who are suspect, weak, and
really do not know what they are doing. They are calling the plays
and battle strategies. As we are losing some of these battles and
retreating, they are turning on their troops, blaming them, and
shooting them. Our group does not have the leadership positions but
are foot soldiers right now. That is going to change.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:32PM
They used the Tea Party. First they assaulted the hold outs for
not "going along". Then they use the bill as a shell that Reid can
not use to put in his own plan. Then when it returns to the House,
they will no longer NEED the tea party people because the Democrats
will line up behind it. The terms of the Boehner bill were
meaningless. What was important was to shift the blame to the Tea
Party.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:34PM
Sorry, shell that will now be used by Reid. But may I add, the
purpose was to isolate the Tea Party candidates. Remember Alinski,
isolate, target then assault.

Sean| 7.29.11 @ 10:31PM
So all the pundits were wrong. A vote for Boehner plan is really
a vote for Reid. If we get a compromise I guarantee its 99.9999%
the Dems want. Hey but we will get a promised reduction in future
spending 10 or 20 years out.
This is the transparent stupidity of Boehner and his backers:
with divided government, everything comes down to
reconciliation.
Going into reconciliation, if you're at $900 B in spending
ceiling increase for $1 B in spending cuts next year, and the
Senate comes in at $2.7 B in spending ceiling increase with $0 in
spending cuts next year, I guarantee you the final results going to
be a higher ceiling and no cuts. Republicans already gave the game
away with this WEAK initial bill.
The starting position should have been no debt ceiling increase
and $1 T in spending cuts next year to undo the Obama/Pelosi/Reid
spending orgy. This would have had the salutory result of
demonstrating GOP seriousness about spending cuts, reinforced the
base and the Tea Party, put the party on the side of 60% of the
American people, and put the Democrats in the position of having to
defend bankruptcy. The final reconciled bill would then look a lot
more like Cut Cap and Balance---mild spending ceiling increases,
steep front-loaded spending cuts.
Boehner and the "geniuses" who admire him know nothing of
strategy, tactics, or negotiation.
That Sir IS the issue. Political maneuvering has all the same
aspects as military operations. Our side NEVER seems to have
LEADERS, obviously with some exceptions. We just can't seem to get
somebody into the House or the Senate that's impervious to that
Swamp Fever, go along, get along to get reelected.
Kyle Smith| 7.29.11 @ 11:46PM
The GOP should hope that the Reid bill gets near unanimous
support from the Democrats. That way, only the light bulb banning
wing of the Republican House will have to stick their necks out to
vote YES on the Reid Bill for it to pass to avoid the predicted
apocalypse.

opposite once elected. Now that the Democrats have gone Socialist,

"Mark Meckler co-founded the Tea Party Patriots in 2009 with
Jenny Beth Martin as congressional Democrats pushed forward with
their health-care overhaul. The TPP is now the nation's largest Tea
Party group, with 3,500 chapters, and is playing an outsized role
in the debt-ceiling debate. But if John Boehner is taking orders
from the Tea Party movement, it's news to Meckler. In an interview
with Patricia Murphy, Meckler gives Boehner a "D" for handling the
debt crisis so far, and blames decades of compromise in Congress
for the nation's runaway spending. He calls Boehner’s plan an
“embarrassment,” warning that Republicans who vote for Boehner's
debt-ceiling increase will hear from Tea Party groups at the polls
next year."

I don't know why anybody's surprised by what's happening in D.C.
We've all known since the Hobbits first came out of Tealand, that
this was going to be a long drawn out battle, with many setbacks
along the way, but we're making great progress overcoming the evil
that's overtaken the land. We've exposed the traitors within our
ranks, and we have the means to deal with them, and we will, in
time. But the Epic Battle is a long way away still, and the summer
soldier, and the sunshine patriot, won't be there when it starts.
But that's okay, we never expected that they would be, and we don't
need them there anyway, we never did. We're winning this War, even
though at times, it doesn't look like we're winning anything. Have
patience!! It took a Century to get to where we are, it's going to
take awhile to undo all the damage that's been done by it, but it
can be. One Step At A Time!! One Battle At A Time!! The Good Guys
always win in the end!! The World will keep spinning, and the sun
will come out tomorrow, I promise!! There's no alternative anyway,
so what the hell?
You are right and folks need to get their minds right on
this.
The left fights day in and day out for DECADES, we fight for not
even one year and are ready to throw in the towel.
This infuriates me.
Forget all this 3rd party talk, if for no other reason than we
need the GOP infrastructure.
Teddy Roosevelt couldn't get re-elected president on a 3rd party
ticket and it ain't gonna work for Sarah Palin or anybody else.
Ask Al Gore about the Green Party, you'll get an earful.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:46PM
Well Ron Paul states that the deck is stacked against any third
party and independent. The only thing feasible would be a 3rd party
presidential candidate. It would not be such a bad thing in my
opinion. I think the best government we had was Clinton with a GOP
congress. Now Reagan was a better President, but he had to deal
with a Democratic house that lead to bad decisions on taxes, debt
and amnesty. A president with only a plurality and an opposing
party that controls congress could actually lead to some good
legislation. At any rate I would not fear it.
Thank you for a little bit of sanity in a world of Chicken
Littles!

simon templar| 7.30.11 @ 10:37AM
Well add this to the mix, check out the headline on the Fox web
site...Washington Races to Avoid Default... the lines below as
well....."As Congress holds a rare weekend session to find a
solution to the debt crisis, lawmakers and the White House
frantically search for a last-minute deal to avoid the first-ever
government default."
This country really is f&^%ked up when the so-called
conservative network puts crap out like this buying into the
narrative and distortions of the opposition and the lies and scare
tactics of a party that can do nothing else but lie and manipulate.
The so-called fair and balance is... we will be fair and give both
sides and opportunity to sling horseshit and will be sure we have a
balance of this horseshit from both sides. Truth..whats that? To
hell with the truth.
simon templar| 7.30.11 @ 11:00AM
Let me tell you a secret about warfare. There are times when you
may lose but you actually win. The issue here was not whether we
got what we wanted or this bill contained this or that, or everyone
was in agreement, or whether we had enough or did not have enough
legislative and government power to get it done. The real issue and
aim is to play the game (the conflict) smart and use it as an
opportunity to change the perceptions and nature of the game. This
is exactly what the RINO's and establishment GOP failed to do. The
objective should have been to break out of being played by the Dems
and regaining control of the narrative not the outcome. Listen and
listen carefully, conservatives. They key is the narrative. The
Left has known this from the beginning. Do you understand?
We've already lost, since in reconciliation the debt ceiling
limit will be even higher and the spending cuts even more
backloaded and illusory, while the whole spectacle will have
convinced the public the Republicans STILL don't give a fig about
restraining spending and the conservative base and Tea Party are
alienated from GOP leadership.
Sometimes it's all cloud, no silver lining. That's when men gird
their loins and make ready to unleash hell.
And it ain't going to be Tammy Faye Boehner or his Howlin' RINOs
leading the charge.

Well I found out some things that really surprised me. One is,
and did you all know this the budget is raised 7.5%? Every year?
It's added everyyear
ie $ 100 x 7.5= $ 107.50 x 7.5%=115.56x 7.5...on and on. Since
Nixon, runaway budgets and NOW we've reached critical mass!
Number TWO is the ....the degree of back ally deals and the way the
Republicans treat the new folks and literally mock the folks that
put them in power. It's all a charade. The WHEELER/DEALERS are a
disgrace! To go back to the PENNY PLAN that Connie Mack has put
forward, his coharts must be furious with him...he let the CAT out
of the BAG! This plan sounds like it is jst the right thing to
control the spending. This also....the entrenched law-makers better
wake-up and getting some real healthy RESPECT for the TEA-PARTY
folks or seeing themselves go the way of the extinction!
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:47PM
We need the penny plan. We have been bamboozeled on the debt

Oldefarte| 7.30.11 @ 1:52PM
If some of these tea partiers here should re-read the article's

ALL DEMOCRATS PLUS THE TEA PARTY 22 HOUSE REPUBLICANS have killed
Boehner's/Republicans bills. Conclusion: most tea partiers are in a
conspiracy against the Republican Party and are winning this
argument-battle. Thanks tea partiers for screwing America with your
own sef-centered BS. All rational conservatives want less
government spending, but you idiots don't understand the
economic/financial consequences beyond your double-wide playpens.
The political advantage is now with Reid, Schumer, Durbin etc
Democrats and they've won this battle thanks to the assistance they
received from the tea partiers. Congratulations, dumbarses, you've
just given the Democrats victory and no doubt brought about the
re-election of Obama next year. GD Almighty, Forrest Gump was

debt crisis are weighing heavily on U.S. troops in Afghanistan.And
the top question on their minds Saturday even as bombings rocked
the city around them, was one the top U.S. military officer

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told a
group of soldiers that he doesn't know.He says he believes that the
troops will eventually be paid what they are owed for their
service. Still he acknowledges that waiting for their money would
be difficult for troops who live paycheck to paycheck.Questions on
military spending and the how the ongoing budget struggles will
impact them dominated Mullen's meetings with U.S. service men and

How many tea party patriots does it take to change a lightbulb?
Ten million and five: One to go to Wal-Mart and buy a lightbulb
(and a gun because he’s going to the store anyway), one to scoff at
global climate change, one to draw a rally poster making fun of Al
Gore, one to complain about the socialist conspiracy to bring light
to all Americans, one to change the bulb, and 10 million to sit in
the dark even though the light is on.
“Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “A communist-fascist dictator.”
“That’s impossible — communism and fascism are at opposite ends of
the philosophical spectrum.” “You’re supposed to say ‘a
communist-fascist dictator who.’” “Fine. A communist-fascist
dictator who?” “Oh, never mind. You’ve ruined the joke. I’ll go
next door to the tea party patriot’s house.”
What do Fox News and pâté have in common? They’re both popular
with crackers.
Did you hear about the new e-Beck from Amazon? When you click
“download” it whines about socialism for an hour and then breaks
into tears.
What’s the difference between Cinemax After Dark and a tea bag
convention? One’s a show about people who are agitated over
stimulus packages and the other is a group of people with their
mouths full of balls.
Why did the tea party patriot miss the anti-tax meeting? She was
too busy driving on taxpayer-funded roads, sending her kids to
public school, living in a safe neighborhood, drinking clean water,
breathing clean air, enjoying public parks, using public lands,
buying safe products, eating inspected food, and enjoying countless
other services funded by tax dollars, but this isn’t shaping up
like much of a punch line, so let’s say she ate so many bologna and
cheese Hot Pockets that she was too fat to fit into the public
library meeting room.
Why did the tea party militia fail to stop the spread of
socialism? Because they forgot to write “Ready, Aim, Fire!” on the
palms of their hands.
Why couldn’t the tea party patriot afford to go to the NRA
rally? Because he spent all his money buying unlicensed guns at the
flea market.
What’s the difference between Tiger Woods and a tea party
patriot? One’s a half-black linksman with ass on his mind and the
other’s a half-assed thinksman with blacks on his mind.
A liberal, a conservative and a tea party patriot appear on
“Good Morning America.” George Stuffenenvelopes asks them how
they’d solve the economic crisis. The liberal says, “We should tax
the rich and provide health care for all.” The conservative says,
“We should cut taxes on the rich and run up huge deficits on
endless wars.” The tea party patriot says, “We should neither tax
nor borrow nor spend. We should drill, baby, drill before the Nazi
death panelists take away our freedom and destroy the nation.
Abortion! Terrorism! Ditto! Git-R-Done! Obamanation! Freedom! Pit
bull! Dale Earnhardt!” Noticing that the conservative has been
violently twisting the tea party patriot’s nipples, George
Snuffleuppegus says, “What’s going on?” The conservative says, “Oh,
sorry about that. I was just tuning my AM radio.”
Mankind finally destroys the planet, and Sarah Palin, John
Yarmuth and Barack Obama all arrive at the pearly gates at the same
time. When Palin steps forward, St. Peter says, “I’m sorry, ma’am.
This will probably come as a shock to you: No Christians are
allowed in heaven.” Yarmuth steps forward and says, “What about me?
I’m not a Christian.” St. Peter says, “Sorry, sir, no Americans are
allowed either. The Lord has ruled that absolutely no Christians
and no Americans are allowed into the kingdom of heaven.” And
Barack Obama goes, “SWEET!”
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and a tea
party patriot walk into a bar. The bartender says, “I’m surprised
to see you guys together!” The tea party patriot says, “Why are you
surprised? All of my beliefs are based on the principles of the
Founding Fathers!” Jefferson says, “Indeed, I wrote, ‘We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’ while
schtupping my slaves.” Washington says, “I too was a slaveholder.
And as ‘father of our country,’ I led the military against my own
citizens in the Whiskey Rebellion because they refused to pay
taxes.” And Franklin says, “Yeah, I pretended to be a Puritan, yet
rarely attended church and fathered an illegitimate son.” The
bartender says, “So what you have in common is that you’re all
hypocrites?” “No,” says Franklin. “What we have in common is that
we’re all living in the 18th century.”

You're welcome Oldefarte!! I'm one of those Tea Partiers you're
thanking here today, and I also happen to be one of those Troops
that you're talking about here too (although I'm back here at FT
Bragg, North Carolina at the moment, I'm not currently deployed).
The Tea Party is not the bad guys here, and if it wasn't for the
Tea Party, we wouldn't even be talking about any of the stuff
they're talking about in Washington D.C. right now, like cutting
spending, or changing the way they do anything!! This is a FIRST!!
A FIRST in the Debt Ceiling debate History!! The raising of the
Debt Ceiling has become so "normal", and routine and expected, that
the Media is just trying to find a Boogeyman to blame for it not
being normal this time around, and the Tea Party's the perfect
boogeyman for them to blame!! That's alright by me, we'll take the
blame for holding our elected officials accountable for their
campaign promises, we'll take the blame for reducing spending (or
at least trying to reduce spending for the first time since,...
well the first time ever!!), we'll take the blame for it all, if
you're looking for someone to blame who's just trying to do the
right thing for a change. I thought you liked the Tea Party,
Oldefart? In the last couple of days though, you're making me think
I'm wrong about that? I am the "Boots on the Ground", and I've got
to tell you, you should check out who wrote that article about the
troops complaining to Adm. Mike Mullen about not being paid. Take
it with a grain of salt, it's not a proven fact!! The Military is
being used now as a Pawn in these negotiations, and you know which
Party is using us, don't you? Yep, that's right, the Party that
hates the Military the most is using us!! Does that make any sense
to you? It doesn't to me!! The Boogeyman, is this case, is the same
one it's been in every case, since I can remember, and that's the
Party of Death, the Party of Tax and Spend, the Party that admits
Communist among its ranks, the Party that founded the KKK, the
Democratic "F***ing" Party of America!! Not the Tea Party, we're
the guys with the White Hats on, waving the American Flag, we're
the Good Guys!! Don't lose faith, and don't believe all the
hype!!

LLL: If my recent post offending you or any of our military
members, please accept my sincere and heartfelt apology. I
would/will never do anything purposely to offend you that defend
our country. Since 9/11/01, I have displayed an American flag
magnetic emblem on the back/trunk of my car as a sign of THANK YOU
and respect to the families of all of our military members, WHO
MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT BY THEIR UNSELFISH SERVICES TO US ALL. That
said, my recent posts have only been with the intent/purpose of
directing humor and argument as some of these distasteful,
slanderous, ugly etc comments/post by some commenters/posters here
[and you know full well WHO they are]. They are NOT true tea party
members [the tea party members are/have only exhibited honor and
dignity in their protests and are honorable, patriotic people no
doubt], and are probably the previously described Justice Dept
Democratic operatives that are paid to blog with conservative
websites to smear conservatives and promote the
president's/Democrats' political agenda. They are
counter-intelligence operatives bent upon destruction of the
Republican Party for the benefit of the Democrats. Tea Party people
would not perform such personal destruction opining/activities.
These morons are using verbal filth, smears, sexual slang words etc
to oppose/argue against conservative Republicna women; calling
Boehner/McConnell/Republican representatives/senators traitors and
worse. True tea Party people/members would not do so, but instead
would rationally put forth their arguements/positions in a
reasoned, purposeful manner, but in a polite sense [since we're
supposed to be all conservative Republicans in the broader sense,
right?]. So it is this latter grouping here that I'm referring to
AND NEVER A TRUE PATIOT LIKE YOURSELF, OKAY??????
Lullabys, Legends and Lies| 7.31.11 @ 7:29PM
No need to apologize to me, I never took your words personally
anyway!! I've got a sense of humor (I jump out of planes for a

humor, and probably wouldn't believe it anyway. I'm just glad you
haven't "turned" on us, because we can't afford to lose any troops
to the other side in this never-ending battle against the Party of
Death, the Democratic Party. But I know "who" you're referring to
too, and I can understand your frustration dealing with "who", but
I don't think "who" is actually a Democrat Operative sent in here
to undermine our discussions, he just doesn't seem that smart to me
to pull that off (but who knows?). I just think "who" is a bully
who hides behind their computer, and if you were to meet "who" in
the real world, you'd probably think "who" was a nice, well
mannered person. But while "who" is hiding in the basement
surrounded by their collection of Ron Paul for President posters,
"who" feels very emboldened to force feed their views on the very
people who are "who"'s natural allies. "Who" can be a big pain in
the ass sometimes!!

disruption within Republican circles? If so, go back to

websites [if any] and get the hell away from the rest of us. We

Republican congressmen being the enemy [the Democrats are,
dummies]. Start directing/venting your asinine anger at Democrats.
Complain about Reid, Pilosi, Conyers, Rangel, Durbin, Obama,

WL, you are right...this is what betrayal feels like.
I did have high hopes for the Tea Party elected representatives, but I now see they can be purchased and bullied, just like the rest of the GOP.
And I have read that the Tea Party has not yet committed to support a primary challenge to Orrin Hatch...They are losing steam, and abandoning their stated principles. Hatch has been a part of the problem for decades. Just like McCain, he will Not Change His Spots except in campaign mode.
Bob Grant| 7.30.11 @ 9:28AM
Betrayed? How?
You DO realize republicans control 1/2 of 1/3 of the government, don't you? Cut, Cap, and Balance at this time does not have a chance. That's reality. Do you really believe if republicans held their ground on CCB and BBA and we go into default with all of the associated repercussions they would survive without major political damage?
You have to work with what is possible. That's politics.
Obama will come out of this looking weak, intransigent, and ineffectual which is what we want. Republicans need to at least appear to want to compromise while seriously addressing the debt crisis. This was the only option.
Remember the eye on the bigger prize which is the presidency and control of the senate. This was the only pathway toward that goal.
Teflon93| 7.30.11 @ 10:05AM
And YOU must realize that Obama and the Democrats CANNOT spend more money or get the debt ceiling raised without the Republican House?
Why give the GOP power if they don't use the power they have to advance the cause of conservatism?
You people think electing Republicans is an end in itself.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:29PM
Its not 1/2 of 1/3 of the government, but rather it IS 1/3 of the government. I see this all the time. Also because of checks and balances it is a necessary 1/3.
simon templar| 7.30.11 @ 10:49AM
We were not betrayed by the the Tea party candidates but rather by the old guard progressive establishment GOP as always. They held their ground despite the insults and betrayal of their own GOP leadership and the onslaught of pressure and slander from the media and many parts of our own political landscape and tent. The problem is we are being led into war by generals who are suspect, weak, and really do not know what they are doing. They are calling the plays and battle strategies. As we are losing some of these battles and retreating, they are turning on their troops, blaming them, and shooting them. Our group does not have the leadership positions but are foot soldiers right now. That is going to change.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:32PM
They used the Tea Party. First they assaulted the hold outs for not "going along". Then they use the bill as a shell that Reid can not use to put in his own plan. Then when it returns to the House, they will no longer NEED the tea party people because the Democrats will line up behind it. The terms of the Boehner bill were meaningless. What was important was to shift the blame to the Tea Party.
Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:34PM
Sorry, shell that will now be used by Reid. But may I add, the purpose was to isolate the Tea Party candidates. Remember Alinski, isolate, target then assault.

So all the pundits were wrong. A vote for Boehner plan is really a vote for Reid. If we get a compromise I guarantee its 99.9999% the Dems want. Hey but we will get a promised reduction in future spending 10 or 20 years out.
Teflon93| 7.30.11 @ 10:11AM
This is the transparent stupidity of Boehner and his backers: with divided government, everything comes down to reconciliation.
Going into reconciliation, if you're at $900 B in spending ceiling increase for $1 B in spending cuts next year, and the Senate comes in at $2.7 B in spending ceiling increase with $0 in spending cuts next year, I guarantee you the final results going to be a higher ceiling and no cuts. Republicans already gave the game away with this WEAK initial bill.
The starting position should have been no debt ceiling increase and $1 T in spending cuts next year to undo the Obama/Pelosi/Reid spending orgy. This would have had the salutory result of demonstrating GOP seriousness about spending cuts, reinforced the base and the Tea Party, put the party on the side of 60% of the American people, and put the Democrats in the position of having to defend bankruptcy. The final reconciled bill would then look a lot more like Cut Cap and Balance---mild spending ceiling increases, steep front-loaded spending cuts.
Boehner and the "geniuses" who admire him know nothing of strategy, tactics, or negotiation.

Kyle Smith| 7.29.11 @ 11:46PM
The GOP should hope that the Reid bill gets near unanimous support from the Democrats. That way, only the light bulb banning wing of the Republican House will have to stick their necks out to vote YES on the Reid Bill for it to pass to avoid the predicted apocalypse.

"Mark Meckler co-founded the Tea Party Patriots in 2009 with Jenny Beth Martin as congressional Democrats pushed forward with their health-care overhaul. The TPP is now the nation's largest Tea Party group, with 3,500 chapters, and is playing an outsized role in the debt-ceiling debate. But if John Boehner is taking orders from the Tea Party movement, it's news to Meckler. In an interview with Patricia Murphy, Meckler gives Boehner a "D" for handling the debt crisis so far, and blames decades of compromise in Congress for the nation's runaway spending. He calls Boehner’s plan an “embarrassment,” warning that Republicans who vote for Boehner's debt-ceiling increase will hear from Tea Party groups at the polls next year."

I don't know why anybody's surprised by what's happening in D.C. We've all known since the Hobbits first came out of Tealand, that this was going to be a long drawn out battle, with many setbacks along the way, but we're making great progress overcoming the evil that's overtaken the land. We've exposed the traitors within our ranks, and we have the means to deal with them, and we will, in time. But the Epic Battle is a long way away still, and the summer soldier, and the sunshine patriot, won't be there when it starts. But that's okay, we never expected that they would be, and we don't need them there anyway, we never did. We're winning this War, even though at times, it doesn't look like we're winning anything. Have patience!! It took a Century to get to where we are, it's going to take awhile to undo all the damage that's been done by it, but it can be. One Step At A Time!! One Battle At A Time!!

Wayne | 7.30.11 @ 1:46PM
Well Ron Paul states that the deck is stacked against any third party and independent. The only thing feasible would be a 3rd party presidential candidate. It would not be such a bad thing in my opinion. I think the best government we had was Clinton with a GOP congress. Now Reagan was a better President, but he had to deal with a Democratic house that lead to bad decisions on taxes, debt and amnesty. A president with only a plurality and an opposing party that controls congress could actually lead to some good legislation. At any rate I would not fear it.

This country really is f&^%ked up when the so-called conservative network puts crap out like this buying into the narrative and distortions of the opposition and the lies and scare tactics of a party that can do nothing else but lie and manipulate. The so-called fair and balance is... we will be fair and give both sides and opportunity to sling horseshit and will be sure we have a balance of this horseshit from both sides. Truth..whats that? To hell with the truth.
simon templar| 7.30.11 @ 11:00AM
Let me tell you a secret about warfare. There are times when you may lose but you actually win. The issue here was not whether we got what we wanted or this bill contained this or that, or everyone was in agreement, or whether we had enough or did not have enough legislative and government power to get it done. The real issue and aim is to play the game (the conflict) smart and use it as an opportunity to change the perceptions and nature of the game. This is exactly what the RINO's and establishment GOP failed to do. The objective should have been to break out of being played by the Dems and regaining control of the narrative not the outcome. Listen and listen carefully, conservatives. They key is the narrative. The Left has known this from the beginning. Do you understand?
Teflon93| 7.30.11 @ 11:30AM
We've already lost, since in reconciliation the debt ceiling limit will be even higher and the spending cuts even more backloaded and illusory, while the whole spectacle will have convinced the public the Republicans STILL don't give a fig about restraining spending and the conservative base and Tea Party are alienated from GOP leadership.
Sometimes it's all cloud, no silver lining. That's when men gird their loins and make ready to unleash hell.

Well I found out some things that really surprised me. One is, and did you all know this the budget is raised 7.5%? Every year? It's added everyyear
ie $ 100 x 7.5= $ 107.50 x 7.5%=115.56x 7.5...on and on. Since Nixon, runaway budgets and NOW we've reached critical mass!
Number TWO is the ....the degree of back ally deals and the way the Republicans treat the new folks and literally mock the folks that put them in power. It's all a charade. The WHEELER/DEALERS are a disgrace! To go back to the PENNY PLAN that Connie Mack has put forward, his coharts must be furious with him...he let the CAT out of the BAG! This plan sounds like it is jst the right thing to control the spending. This also....the entrenched law-makers better wake-up and getting some real healthy RESPECT for the TEA-PARTY folks or seeing themselves go the way of the extinction!

All rational conservatives want less government spending, but you idiots don't understand the economic/financial consequences beyond your double-wide playpens. The political advantage is now with Reid, Schumer, Durbin etc Democrats and they've won this battle thanks to the assistance they received from the tea partiers.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told a group of soldiers that he doesn't know.He says he believes that the troops will eventually be paid what they are owed for their service. Still he acknowledges that waiting for their money would be difficult for troops who live paycheck to paycheck.Questions on military spending and the how the ongoing budget struggles will impact them dominated Mullen's meetings with U.S. service men and women...."

How many tea party patriots does it take to change a lightbulb? Ten million and five: One to go to Wal-Mart and buy a lightbulb (and a gun because he’s going to the store anyway), one to scoff at global climate change, one to draw a rally poster making fun of Al Gore, one to complain about the socialist conspiracy to bring light to all Americans, one to change the bulb, and 10 million to sit in the dark even though the light is on.
“Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “A communist-fascist dictator.” “That’s impossible — communism and fascism are at opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum.” “You’re supposed to say ‘a communist-fascist dictator who.’” “Fine. A communist-fascist dictator who?” “Oh, never mind. You’ve ruined the joke. I’ll go next door to the tea party patriot’s house.”
What do Fox News and pâté have in common? They’re both popular with crackers.
Did you hear about the new e-Beck from Amazon? When you click “download” it whines about socialism for an hour and then breaks into tears.
What’s the difference between Cinemax After Dark and a tea bag convention? One’s a show about people who are agitated over stimulus packages and the other is a group of people with their mouths full of balls.
Why did the tea party patriot miss the anti-tax meeting? She was too busy driving on taxpayer-funded roads, sending her kids to public school, living in a safe neighborhood, drinking clean water, breathing clean air, enjoying public parks, using public lands, buying safe products, eating inspected food, and enjoying countless other services funded by tax dollars, but this isn’t shaping up like much of a punch line, so let’s say she ate so many bologna and cheese Hot Pockets that she was too fat to fit into the public library meeting room.
Why did the tea party militia fail to stop the spread of socialism? Because they forgot to write “Ready, Aim, Fire!” on the palms of their hands.
Why couldn’t the tea party patriot afford to go to the NRA rally? Because he spent all his money buying unlicensed guns at the flea market.
What’s the difference between Tiger Woods and a tea party patriot? One’s a half-black linksman with ass on his mind and the other’s a half-assed thinksman with blacks on his mind.
A liberal, a conservative and a tea party patriot appear on “Good Morning America.” George Stuffenenvelopes asks them how they’d solve the economic crisis. The liberal says, “We should tax the rich and provide health care for all.” The conservative says, “We should cut taxes on the rich and run up huge deficits on endless wars.” The tea party patriot says, “We should neither tax nor borrow nor spend. We should drill, baby, drill before the Nazi death panelists take away our freedom and destroy the nation. Abortion! Terrorism! Ditto! Git-R-Done! Obamanation! Freedom! Pit bull! Dale Earnhardt!” Noticing that the conservative has been violently twisting the tea party patriot’s nipples, George Snuffleuppegus says, “What’s going on?” The conservative says, “Oh, sorry about that. I was just tuning my AM radio.”
Mankind finally destroys the planet, and Sarah Palin, John Yarmuth and Barack Obama all arrive at the pearly gates at the same time. When Palin steps forward, St. Peter says, “I’m sorry, ma’am. This will probably come as a shock to you: No Christians are allowed in heaven.” Yarmuth steps forward and says, “What about me? I’m not a Christian.” St. Peter says, “Sorry, sir, no Americans are allowed either. The Lord has ruled that absolutely no Christians and no Americans are allowed into the kingdom of heaven.” And Barack Obama goes, “SWEET!”
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and a tea party patriot walk into a bar. The bartender says, “I’m surprised to see you guys together!” The tea party patriot says, “Why are you surprised? All of my beliefs are based on the principles of the Founding Fathers!” Jefferson says, “Indeed, I wrote, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’ while schtupping my slaves.” Washington says, “I too was a slaveholder. And as ‘father of our country,’ I led the military against my own citizens in the Whiskey Rebellion because they refused to pay taxes.” And Franklin says, “Yeah, I pretended to be a Puritan, yet rarely attended church and fathered an illegitimate son.” The bartender says, “So what you have in common is that you’re all hypocrites?” “No,” says Franklin. “What we have in common is that we’re all living in the 18th century.”

You're welcome Oldefarte!! I'm one of those Tea Partiers you're thanking here today, and I also happen to be one of those Troops that you're talking about here too (although I'm back here at FT Bragg, North Carolina at the moment, I'm not currently deployed). The Tea Party is not the bad guys here, and if it wasn't for the Tea Party, we wouldn't even be talking about any of the stuff they're talking about in Washington D.C. right now, like cutting spending, or changing the way they do anything!! This is a FIRST!! A FIRST in the Debt Ceiling debate History!! The raising of the Debt Ceiling has become so "normal", and routine and expected, that the Media is just trying to find a Boogeyman to blame for it not being normal this time around, and the Tea Party's the perfect boogeyman for them to blame!! That's alright by me, we'll take the blame for holding our elected officials accountable for their campaign promises, we'll take the blame for reducing spending (or at least trying to reduce spending for the first time since,... well the first time ever!!), we'll take the blame for it all, if you're looking for someone to blame who's just trying to do the right thing for a change. I thought you liked the Tea Party, Oldefart? In the last couple of days though, you're making me think I'm wrong about that? I am the "Boots on the Ground", and I've got to tell you, you should check out who wrote that article about the troops complaining to Adm. Mike Mullen about not being paid. Take it with a grain of salt, it's not a proven fact!! The Military is being used now as a Pawn in these negotiations, and you know which Party is using us, don't you? Yep, that's right, the Party that hates the Military the most is using us!! Does that make any sense to you? It doesn't to me!! The Boogeyman, is this case, is the same one it's been in every case, since I can remember, and that's the Party of Death, the Party of Tax and Spend, the Party that admits Communist among its ranks, the Party that founded the KKK, the Democratic "F***ing" Party of America!! Not the Tea Party, we're the guys with the White Hats on, waving the American Flag, we're the Good Guys!! Don't lose faith, and don't believe all the hype!!

Since 9/11/01, I have displayed an American flag magnetic emblem on the back/trunk of my car as a sign of THANK YOU and respect to the families of all of our military members, WHO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT BY THEIR UNSELFISH SERVICES TO US ALL. That said, my recent posts have only been with the intent/purpose of directing humor and argument as some of these distasteful, slanderous, ugly etc comments/post by some commenters/posters here [and you know full well WHO they are]. They are NOT true tea party members [the tea party members are/have only exhibited honor and dignity in their protests and are honorable, patriotic people no doubt], and are probably the previously described Justice Dept Democratic operatives that are paid to blog with conservative websites to smear conservatives and promote the president's/Democrats' political agenda. They are counter-intelligence operatives bent upon destruction of the Republican Party for the benefit of the Democrats. Tea Party people would not perform such personal destruction opining/activities. These morons are using verbal filth, smears, sexual slang words etc to oppose/argue against conservative Republicna women; calling Boehner/McConnell/Republican representatives/senators traitors and worse. True tea Party people/members would not do so, but instead would rationally put forth their arguements/positions in a reasoned, purposeful manner, but in a polite sense [since we're supposed to be all conservative Republicans in the broader sense, right?]. So it is this latter grouping here that I'm referring to AND NEVER A TRUE PATIOT LIKE YOURSELF, OKAY??????
Lullabys, Legends and Lies| 7.31.11 @ 7:29PM
No need to apologize to me, I never took your words personally anyway!! I've got a sense of humor (I jump out of planes for a living after all), although some of the Soldiers here in my Company, would be surprised to hear that I do have a sense of humor, and probably wouldn't believe it anyway. I'm just glad you haven't "turned" on us, because we can't afford to lose any troops to the other side in this never-ending battle against the Party of Death, the Democratic Party. But I know "who" you're referring to too, and I can understand your frustration dealing with "who", but I don't think "who" is actually a Democrat Operative sent in here to undermine our discussions, he just doesn't seem that smart to me to pull that off (but who knows?). I just think "who" is a bully who hides behind their computer, and if you were to meet "who" in the real world, you'd probably think "who" was a nice, well mannered person. But while "who" is hiding in the basement surrounded by their collection of Ron Paul for President posters, "who" feels very emboldened to force feed their views on the very people who are "who"'s natural allies. "Who" can be a big pain in the ass sometimes!!
