A classic lack of leadership.


REPUBLICANS CAVE BIG TIME--NOT ONE DIME IN CUTS

By Mark Rhoads -Elephant donkey
They don't call US Senate Republicans the stupid party for nothing.  If they take the latest deal from Harry Reid, not a single dime of spending will be cut now or ever in the future.  If Tea Party Republicans in the House go for this horrible deal, even with a modest compromise from Democrats on tax rates, John Boehner has failed as a GOP leader if the House approves.  

Never in the future will any Congress or any president of either existing party cut any spending at all until the government is forced into bankruptcy.

    The Democrats do hold the better deck of cards in this "debate". The Republicans will either have to go along so as not to be blamed for the immediate negative results of going over the "fiscal cliff". Or - then the same Democrat Party who has been pushing for higher taxes (like they ALWAYS do) will turn around and use it as a weapon against the same Republican Congressman who voted with them for "compromise". OR they vote NO to any tax hikes NOW and get blamed for any short term stock market downturn, new recession, or whatever. The bottom line is the Republicans will be blamed no matter what. Blamed by whom? The Democrat cheerleading media of course. The same media that ignored a terrorist attack on Sept 11.2012. The same media who sit down obediently like a bunch of first grade students listening and behaving as they are told by the "teacher" Obama. The same media who rather than go ballistic over Obama ignoring ANY questions on Benghazi and taking off for a fund raiser in Vegas, decided to go after Romney who actually did come out and did take questions regarding the attack. Those questions asked of him were pretty harsh, kinda what you should expect to be asked of the PRESIDENT. The Republicans have enemies but none more nasty and hateful as the left wing press. I have to go to UK sites to actually get reporting these days...

    Barack "it's not my fault, it's never my fault" Obama embarrassed himself and the nation yesterday with his "press conference" aka political rally. Way to be a post partisan leader. Who could honestly say that it is bargaining in good faith to go out DURING negotiations and mock your opponents? This guy really is clueless every time you remove a teleprompter from him and make him speak from his own thoughts...really disturbing.

      The Republicans have a majority only in the House of Representatives. The Dems control the Senate and the White House. They can't give the country to Obama. He just got re-elected. And I think the Democrats are the panderers. They have effectively "imported" an entire group of immigrants that they are attempting to control and use for electoral success. So far it is working....but for how long? Hispanics want to be successful and do not want to be lumped in with the other minority population of blacks who are completely under the thumb of the Dems. Border control and an effective movement of Republicans to get the hispanic vote and maybe a good candidate will get them to go for the Republicans....GW got over 40% of the Hispanic vote....they are not as monolithic as the Black vote....

    House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the House, declared his opposition to the Senate-passed "fiscal cliff" deal today, potentially putting the deal in peril.

    "I do not support the bill," Cantor said walking out of a conference meeting in which House Republicans discussed the "fiscal cliff" deal passed in the Senate overnight.

    A number of other House Republicans today expressed serious concerns about the lack of spending cuts in the Senate bill. "Don't think this is a done deal," one GOP aide warned CBS News early Tuesday afternoon.
