We're still inthe midst of the debt ceiling thing, largely because Brain-dead Harry Reid killed the Republican House bill in the Senate and is trying to substitute his own.
Funny thing is, though (and forgive any typos 'cause I'm laughing) Reid can't get enough votes in the dem-controlled Senate to support it.
In addition, the House gave the language in Reid's bill a run-through and it was heavily defeated by a bipartisan mix of dems and Reps.
I've read everything I could get my hands on about Reid's bill. Tough, because it's a weekend and reporters also like some time off every now and then. And I don't go to the networks for news. That leaves all the leftist newspapers and Fox.
Anyway, what I've been able to gather is that the Reid bill calls for raising the debt ceiling by $2.9 TRILLION through around March, 2013 -- conveniently after the 2012 elections so the dems can avoid walking around with egg on their faces during their election campaigns. And the bill also offers budget cuts of about $2.4 TRILLION -- OVER TEN YEARS.
Yeah, right. I'm looking for that flight of donkeys that should be over the roof right about now. Nothing so far.
Boehner's bill allows for raising the debt ceiling by $900 billion through around January, 2012, with $917 billion in cuts taken immediately. It requires congress to vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment. (70% of US voters favor this. Apparently everyone but hard-core far-left dems.) Also, a committee would take up the issue of finding further budget cuts, these to be available by January, 2012. And the debt ceiling will come up again for consideration in January 2013. Historically, most debt ceiling increases have run only about six to seven months.
Then the Comrade sticks his ugly mug into the debate again regarding "triggers" that are intended to enforce the controls on spending. (Actually, I don't see any controls on spending in the Reid bill, but maybe that's just 'cause I live outside the Beltway. So far from the fantasy.)
Apparently in the Boehner bill, if the feds fail to make the promised budget cuts, and spending rises over a certain level, that triggers cuts in federal spending somehow.
What the Comrade prefers in an "enforcement clause" is that if spending exceeds certain limits, taxes will automatically go up.
He certainly is slick, isn't he? Under the Reid bill, and if it includes the Comrade's fondest wishes, the Comrade won't have to answer to voters about how badly he's wrecked the economy with his reckless indifference toward Other Peoples' Money. AND he hopes to reward himself with automatice tax hikes that will be no one's responsibility. Hey, shit happens. Ain't the Comrade's fault.
So, Comrade, try this for one of your heartwarming little radio addresses. "Too bad you poor dumb slobs in the hinterland have had to give up electricity this month to pay your taxes. Sigh... But vote for me, because I am blameless." That will be his 2012 campaign bumper sticker. "I have done NOTHING!"
And that's still better than the truth.
Did you know that according Rasmussen Reports, the Comrade's approval rating is about the lowest it's ever been? Also saw a recent number stating that while the Comrade got an extraordinary 98% of the black vote in the 2008 election, his support from blacks now is down around 77%. So I guess the supposed historical significance of the Comrade's election is wearing pretty thin as an excuse to keep him in office.
Reid delayed the Senate vote on his bill until this afternoon, Sunday, 7/31. My bet is that the vote won't be taken at all. He won't be able to round up enough support. 'Cause you know, the Comrade is not the only one running in 2012, and members of congress don't get helicopters and limos and Secret Service. They get the heat and noise at the Town Halls.
Save the Republic.

Bait'n'switch on debt ceiling bill
Well, it seems since House Speaker John Boehner and the House got a debt ceiling bill through, it's really the only game in town in terms of reducing the debt, staving off default, and restoring the USA's credit rating.
The bill in question was tabled in the Senate without any consideration whatsoever, and it seems the strategy to move forward is pretty dodgy and disgusting. But just about what you'd expect from the reprobates in congress.
See, Brain-dead Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, also introduced a bill that's pretty much a piece of crap, It has only phoney spending cuts in it, no enforcement of said "cuts," and raises the debt ceiling so high, the issue won't have to be revisited until after the 2012 election. He doesn't have the votes in the Senate to pass this piece of crap legislation and it certainly wouldn't make it through the House.
Apparently Brain-dead Harry's bill was devised solely for the purpose of getting the Comrade and the merry marxists re-elected without putting on pulic parade (again) all the underhanded lying and deception, irresponsible spending and generally dictatorial and nation-killing polices of the dems. Brain-dead's bill raises the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION, which the dope believes will be good enough to cover USA profligate spending until 2013.
Anyway, Brain-dead Harry's strategy seems to be to take the House bill that's in the Senate now, slice it open like a codfish, empty out all the guts, and stuff it full of the unacceptable bullshit that's in Brain-dead Harry's bill. Then send it back to the House for "reconciliation."
Bait'n'switch, dontcha know. That's when you're lured into a deal by a great, high-quality product, but what you get is a cheap knock-off that doesn't work. It's something con artists do, and it's a crime -- unless you're in the U.S. Senate and believe you're above the law.
Totally disgusting. And does Brain-dead and his little comrades -- and big Comrade -- think the American people aren't going to notice this foul maneuver and won't object? Where have they been for the last few years?
I don't know. They pull these cheap tricks right in front of us and expect no one will notice. Theylie straight-faced and NBC, ABC, and CBS simply pass along the lies. I mean, who the hell do the people think they're dealing with?
I could make a few suggestions about how to handle this whole situation, but then I'd probably be arrested. And these turds aren't worth me spending time in jail. I'll be happy simply thnking of them roasting on spit over a large bonfire in hell.
Well, Brain-dead Harry, go on ahead and play your stupid and treasonous games. And see what good it will get you. You'll go down in history as the man greased the skids for the collapse of the greatest nation that ever existed. 'Course what the hell do you care about things like that? Simply over your head.
Save the Republic.

Exactly where is "Planet Reid"?
Weird day in politics today.
It started out with Chuckelhead Schumer, Brain-Dead Reid, Dickhead Durbin and others in press conferences, bacially crowing and hectoring John Boehner, because Boehner's Second debt ceiling bill hadn't got through the House yet. Boehner was having a hard time lining up votes behind it -- the Tea Party reps stood their ground and wanted to attach a Constitutional amendment to the bill calling for a balanced budget for the federal government.
I might add, among all voters, a Balanced Budget Amendment polls with about a 70% approval rating. That proposal has a higher approval rating than any member of congress. Just so you know.
But the dem gang from the Senate continued insisting this was so "extremist" that not even the Republicans in the House would vote for it. They kind of reminded me of, you know, in gangster movies, like "Goodfellas," where the gang stands around a guy on the ground and keeps kicking him. That's the visual Schumer, Reid, and Durbin presented. Not pretty.
As it turns out, however, Boehner got the bill passed in the House with a few votes to spare. And then it went to the Senate.
Brain-Dead Harry wanted to table it, just like he tabled the earlier TWO House budget bills, and guess what? Ol' Brain-Dead didn't have the 60 votes he needed to kill the bill in the Senate.
About this time I was rolling on the floor laughing, coffee shooting out my nose.
So Ol' Brain-Dead did what he usually does when he's losing -- he changed the rules of the game. Can't get a two-thirds majority? Well, then change the rules to a simple majority, that is 51 votes. He did get that and House bill was tabled.
Don't you wish, when your team's down 6-5, that suddenly you could count "reaching second base" as a home run? The Senate really is a mess, ain't it? No wonder they all have such a hard time with reality.
So now what? Turns out, Ol' Brain-Dead did submit his own debt ceiling bill about a week ago. It's all crap. No real spending cuts in it at all -- just things like, "Hey, let's agree NOT to launch free trips to the moon for every illegal alien under 18." See, by NOT passing that legislation, see how much money Brain-Dead's bill saves?
Not quite a cut, but Brain-Dead has demonstrated repeatedly that he doesn't know how to count to 10, or to 60, for that matter. And guess what, Brain-Dead doesn't have the votes in the Senate to even pass that lame and uselss proposal.
And I can't seriously imagine it would go anywhere in the House.
Meahwhile, the Comrade got his little face on TV today, early, also whining about extremists and all that kinda useless crap. Apparently he also promised a bunch of tree-huggers that he will continue to do his best to anihilate whatever remains of the American auto industry.
Didn't I say months -- if not years -- ago that the Comrade is so far out of the mainstream that he was making himself irrelevant to the political system? He's about reached that destination -- Planet Reid.
So -- to cap this all off with a good laugh.... Ol' Brain-Dead doesn't have the votes to get his own stupid debt ceiling measure through the Senate. So, in his usual fashion, he declared that the Republicans are "filibustering" the Senate.
The Republicans don't really have enough people in the Senate to do a filibuster. If they did, I think the Republican bill from the House would still be on the floor.
Kinda makes you wonder, again, about exactly how many marbles Ol' Brain-Dead Reid has lost over recent weeks. OK, this is how you get to Planet Reid: close your eyes and pretend you're surrounded by supportive voters who believe anything you say. Or picture an SEIU meeting.

"Extreme" is the the new America. Deal with it.
Well, Senator Chucklehead Schumer (d-NY) a few weeks ago sent out a memo to his dem gang members advising them to always tack on the adjective "extreme" when speaking of Republicans. See, the democrats are incapable of independent thought, so they need these kinds of directives. Otherwise they just stand around like Pazzo Pelosi, waving their hands around like theiy're doing slow-motion Karate exercises and mumbling complete nonsense that no one can quite figure out. Anyway, so now all the dems are claiming that "extreme" Republicans are holding up the debt ceiling legislation.
OK, let's just think about this for a minute.
The dems have spent $4 TRILLION over the last 2.5 years. I'm tellin' ya, I wouldn't have any idea how to get rid of that much money in such a short time. What the hell are they doing? Burning it?
In addition, the feds now have to borrow 40 to 43 cents of every dollar they spend -- because they don't have all this money they're spending. And this huge debt is one major reason that the USA is unable to recover from the ongoing economic depression.
But it's "extreme" when Republicans try to put the brakes on spending to help fix the economy?
Exactly what universe do these people live in?
I mean, would it make sense to you to go out and rent a penthouse for $5,000 a month when your entire income is like about $3,000 a month? And you have no idea where to get the additional funds? And Mommy and Daddy Taxpayer getting pretty damn impatient about your recklessness and irresponsibility.
Please explain to me how this kind of profligate spending would be "reasonable" or "moderate."
The only answer the dems have for that would be, "Well, we NEED to spend. In fact, we can't get anybody to vote for us unless we buy them things."
And then ol' Chucklehead, in lock-step with brain-dead Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, complains that they can't do anything in the Senate until they get a bill from the House.
THEY HAVE TWO BUDGET BILLS FROM THE HOUSE ALREADY IN THE SENATE. ONE WAS KILLED IN COMMITTEE (Ryan budget) AND THE OTHER WAS TABLED (Cut, Cap and Balance).
In addition, Brain-dead Harry says he won't allow the Senate to consider any bill the House would present.
So, why on earth should the Republicans in the House even bother?
But the Republicans are "extreme" and "unwilling to compromise"-- is this is gibberish the dems are peddling today?
I'd like to add that the "extreme" Republicans represent the MAINSTREAM of America. Look at the results from the November 2010 elections, buttheads. Read 'em and weep. You'll only get more of the same in 2012. Especially after this fiasco.
Went to sleep last night in America and woke up in Never-Neverland, populated by a bunch of half-baked, donkey-headed Peter Pans who "never gonna grow up, never gonna grow up, never gonna grow!"

Clearly, president wants default
Well a pattern has emerged over the 2.something hell-years of the Comrade's tenure in the White House.
His aim is now and always has been to destroy the USA as we know it -- as a free country, as a free market, as a properous nation. That's what he's always intended: "fundamental transformation."
So with an economy as varied and powerful as the USA once enjoyed, you can take a two-pronged attack. Destroy individual industries where you can -- like housing and automotive and insurance through socialized medicine.
But the real prize is to wipe out private capital -- either through taxation -- which is tough, because the wealthy, including wealthy corporations, still have money coming in no matter how high you raise taxes.
So the other alternative is to wipe out the value of their holdings.
This is where we are now. The Comrade obliterating 234 years of hard work, innovation, creativity and just in general, the blood, sweat, and tears of every American who ever lived, had a dream, and made it work.
The Comrade doesn't like that. He can't control it. It makes him nervous. He just might pee his pants if anyone escapes his control.
This is a nasty, brutal, devious and power-mad sicko.
It's very clear.
What do we do now? We can't have this for even another two years.
Save the Republic.

President remarkably useless
Listened to the Comrade addressing the nation tonight.
Call me naive, I thought he might add something to the debt ceiling debate. But no, just the same old b.s. To wit:
So I guess the Comrade was out all day golfing or talking to those he hopes are ignorant and uninformed voters -- those who may vote for him, soon as they turn 18 and/or get their citizenship papers before the 2012 election -- and missed all the congressional activity.
So the Comrade demonstrated that he's a total buffoon. Useless and irrelevant. He's still voting "present." And he thinks that will get him elected.
What an amazing asshole. Really, it boggles the mind.
And who's that silly Jackson bitch from Texas? The one who was jabbering away on her cell phone when a constituent was trying to talk to her during a Town Hall meeting last year. Shirley Jackson or somethig like that. She made a speech last week asking, "What is it about this president, and only this president" that makes people oppose him?
I'll tell ya, Shirley. Only this president is a rigid marxist socialist. Only this president is a total ignoramus on the economy. Only this president blew $4 TRILLION in less than three years. And only this president still hopes to spend even more.
That's what makes him outstanding.
Monumental asshole. The likes of which we may never (hopefully) ever encounter again.

Rs & ds, compare & contrast
On "Fox News Sunday" today, Chris Wallace had Tim Geithner and John Boehner back-to-back. An interesting study in contrasts.
Geithner (who gave up on the closed fist, now pointing fingers aggressively) made a few points:
Then John Boehner came on, and before Chris Wallace even asked a question, Boehner noted, "I know the president is worried about the next election, but shouldn't we be worried about this country?"
Wallace asked about a proposed deal Boehner had with the Comrade last week, which included $800 billion in increased revenues for the government. Where would these additonal revenues come from?
And let's not overlook Senate Majority Whip Dickhead Durbin (d-IL), who had to stick in his two cents from Chicago -- not on the Sunday show, but in a brief clip. Dickhead wants us all to know that the Republicans are stubbornly standing in the way of more unbridled and irresponsible government spending that will turn the USA into a badly managed copy of Zimbabwe.
Yeah. We know. That's why we voted Tea Party last November and why we will vote that way again in 2012.
Thanks, Mr. Boehner and Mr. Cantor. If anyone suspected you were getting wobbly and losing a sense of commitment to supporting free market capitalism and individual liberty in the USA, maybe they'll think again.
Tried to email Boehner yesterday with my support -- the servers were tied up. So I guess I'm not the only person standing behind him. In fact, in polls over the last few weeks, anywhere between 60% to 70% of the US population wants to cut spending and doesn't want to increase the debt ceiling.
Save the Republic.
Geithner (who gave up on the closed fist, now pointing fingers aggressively) made a few points:
- The feds cut 80 million checks every month
- The economy is recovering despite the fact that unemployment has increased and only 18,000 new jobs were created in June.
- Anything that appears problematic in the economy is due to: George W. Bush, oil prices (and the Comrade has nothing to do with that?), the tsunami in Japan, and the weather.
- Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid recipients may be affected with default. "Nothing can be done about it." (Note the use of the passive voice, which means basically, "Hey, shit happens.")
Then John Boehner came on, and before Chris Wallace even asked a question, Boehner noted, "I know the president is worried about the next election, but shouldn't we be worried about this country?"
Wallace asked about a proposed deal Boehner had with the Comrade last week, which included $800 billion in increased revenues for the government. Where would these additonal revenues come from?
- A flatter and fairer tax structure
- Economic growth
- NOT an increase in taxes
- "I didn't come here to be a congressman. I didn't become Speaker because I wanted a big fancy job. I wanted to do something for the country."
- "If we do the right thing for the country, we won't have to worry about what happens in the next election."
