starting with Freshman House Rep Sandy Adams (FL-24).

I’ll be calling, Sandy!

Mr Speaker, you sir, are a huge disappointment. So much for standing 15 feet from you at an Orlando Tea Party rally hearing you scream “Hell No!!!”.

Just words…just words…

Is Girly-Man Boehner gonna cry after he concedes?

Debt commission is a non starter and ducks Constitutional obligations.

However I thought Democrats were trying like the plague to avoid another vote on increasing the limit on the national debt as it might bring up the subject again.

At least thats what Ive read over the past couple of days.

Cathy McMorris Rodgers office and told her to stand strong and not take this deal. It’s time to melt switchboards.

then what? No deal gets made, our debt gets downgraded, the Dow drops a few thousand points, the Republicans get blamed and Obama gets to go on TV and explain how he tried and tried and tried to bargain with the House, but the Republicans refused to budge.

Sounds like a plan for a big victory in 2012.

We need someone else to step up and make the call. If he intends to compromise and sell out the conservatives then his moment has passed. Even if he retains the Speakership, he will no longer lead. He will forever be known as a weak man without the guts to do what is right.

The local state controlled rag published as a newspaper for Austin, TX relies on propaganda from the NY Times and AP to fill its content. The Saturday pub had an AP article about how elected Republican legislators were concerned with being primaried if they vote for increased taxes.

Duh.

I’ve told my Rep, Lamar Smith, Boehner is weak and worries me.
There is no more important time to convey the primary threat to US Congressmen who support tax increases and a debt ceiling increase than today.

Call your Congressman.

There’s no way that we’re going to get spending cuts without a tax increase, unless we simply don’t raise the debt ceiling at all. Every plan I’m seeing except CCB makes it clear that We The People get to see our tax rates increased now, spending reduced (nebulously) later, and massive borrowing continued in perpetuity.

I had the good fortune to be solicited by the RNC this morning on the phone. I explained that if Congress passed, and the President signed, a plan to raise the debt ceiling without increasing tax rates in any way (I’m fine with increasing revenues as long as they come from an improving economy), I would be happy to talk. Until then, not one thin dime. I don’t think they were happy.

as the McConnell one. Which isn’t very far.

Where’s the Democrat plan, Mr Boehner?

Hey, Republican House Majority. Now see this:

This from CNN no less. (And we usually expect less when it comes to CNN polling.)

his way out of this one. Didn’t he say that the debt-ceiling was the “real” fight when he caved before? Did he not assure everyone that the GOP will hold the line and force cuts?

If he goes back on his word, he will be a proven liar and will need to be removed. Look, I know it is scary with all of this doom and gloom going around. The uncertainty is maddening at times. But great feats have never been accomplished without great risk.

Hold the line, GOP.

when he can just get the GOP to cave when push comes to shove.

This has been being forwarded around the Internet since before I was on– modified slightly to abide by the no obscenities rule:

In the beginning there was a Plan.
And then came Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the plan was without substance.
And darkness was on the face of the Workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying
“It is a crock of $#!+, and it stinks”.
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said
“It is a pail of dung, and none may obide the odor thereof”.
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying
“It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none can abide by it”.
And the Managers went unto their Directors saying
“It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength”.
And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying one to another
“It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong”.
And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents, saying unto them
“It promotes growth, and it is very powerful”.
And the Vice Presidents went unto President saying unto him
“This new Plan will actively promote growth and vigor of this company, with powerful effects”.
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw it was good.
