The Team of Boner, McConnel & Reid


Greetings from the  Firm of Boner, McConnell & Reid
Boner & McConnell 


The House ostensibly would agree to this new bill by "unanimous consent," meaning House Republican leadership would have pre-cleared this with all members. Failing to get unanimous consent would doom it.

The tradeoff from Democrats in the Senate: Majority Leader Harry Reid would appoint conferees so they could have a genuine conference committee between the House and Senate to negotiate differences. [Ho Ho Ho (That's three Hos)]

So, in return for giving Senate Democrats what they wanted, the Democrat Senate Majority get to appoint negotiators who will engineer a deal to last the full year.  Or am I rum groggy?  This looks like an instant replay of  August's Debt Ceiling I, where Republicans caved  and raised the debt limit to some point in a  distant galaxy.  Remember? In return for giving Democrats what they demanded, a "Commission" dominated by the freakiest Democrat senators would rule on future spending.  The absence of a compromise agreement (duh) would trigger $1.2 trillion in spending cuts spread over 10 years, split equally between defense and spending.Democrats don't care about.  Remember?  Come on Mayan calender!  Please be quicker than this slow death,

Boehner needs to grow a pair! Those idiots are still trying to make the Dems like them - ain't gonna happen and it's destructive to our nation when they try!

I'm generally not a quitter, but with these clowns in office, I give up.

I'm wondering if HR822 was in it?

Once the antis discover national reciprocity and start howling, I might be able to live with this.

Why do we continue to pretend that we have two political parties? That facade has worn through.

What really tee's me off is that the Donks will then turn around and complain bitterly that the GOP leadership is controlled by those crazy Tea Partiers.

And the plucked turkey represents "We the People"?
