Surrender in the face of assured victory

Just when it looked like victory is assured for the Republicans who found themselves in a win-win situation on the debt ceiling debate along comes the RINO's to offer total capitulation. There can be no more pretending that the RINO's are on the side of the people, they are simply there as saboteurs to ensure the GOP always loses.

On a day when the House failed to get a 2/3rds vote to bring the light bulb unbanning bill to the floor, GOP Sen Leader Mitch McConnell wants to empower Obama and the Dems to raise the debt ceiling with only 1/3rd of the vote. We can no longer pretend that McConnell and other RINO's are anything other than Democrat in sheeps clothing.

The proposal doesn't make any sense in any other light.

Hideous victory dance

Yes Obama is a liar. No, the US cannot default unless the President chooses to, we have enough revenue coming in to pay our obligations. No we should not raise taxes.

But it looks like we will see the debt ceiling raised in exchange for $2 trillion in "cuts" over "10 years" that will never happen. Those spending cuts will NOT happen. They do not and cannot bind future Congresses, period.

If the GOP declares victory it will be a phyrric one at best.

Obamaconomy loses to Canada? Israel under the bus again

If the GOP caves on tax hikes they lose, if they hold firm then Obama loses. It is that simple. If the Republicans think that Obama's proposed "deficit reduction" is serious then they need to find other jobs and probably will have to after the next election.

...

Canada with its small population created more jobs in June than the US did after they cut their taxes.

...

Looks like Obama has once again thrown Israel under the bus. It seems the US will agree not to share missile defense tracking data with Israel in order to get a new radar built in Turkey.
