It’s a step in the right direction, but it amazes me how many folks feel entitled to other people’s money. For Federally- funded broadcasting (NPR) and the wholesale slaughter of unborn children (PP)…

…or Offices of Faith Based Programs, or tax credits for marriage and children, or tax exemptions for churches.

Both sides spend other people’s money.

WCinWI said:

Planed Parenthood will never be defunded. Nor will NPR or the Affordable Care act.

This showdown proved that social issues will not be determined under the guise of financial concerns.

Boehner caved? The subject is showing the least bit of sanity n service of restoring long term fiscal solvency to the country – and this is governance? How do they expect to put forward their major a deficit slashing budget if they can’t get past the mere idea of this…

Under the Republican plan, x (insert random number) of nn (key demographic or profession) will mm (ludicrously, otherworldly demagogic phrase).

…over a few billion dollars?

I guess the Democratic’s singular ineptitude in refusing to do their job and pass a budget for 2009 paid off. Why should they have to worry about losing political capital in an environment of the voter’s ever increasing awareness of the looming budgetary crisis when they have the party of ex-Democrat Charles Krauthammer with which to negotiate? Having Reid put them in a box is much preferable to our own ‘voices of reason.’ When will Republicans learn to grow a spine in the face of this unseriousness?

Also, I’m looking forward to the in-depth discussions on O’Reilly over what Obama’s flopping hands on the podium represented.

Dem’s got The Clean Air Act off the chopping block.

That’s gonna piss of the Koch brothers!

There’s a surprise.

haha…it’s hilarious to hear Baier say that the guarantee to have votes next week on PP, Affordable Health Care Act, etc is a big win for Republicans.
They don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of passing, just a way for Boehner to save face with the tea party.
Is the GOP ever going to propose legislation that actually passes?

Besides that time they read the Constitution (w/o the naughty parts), of course.
They did accomplish that.

They are spinning pretty hard. LOD was giving “analysis” on BSNBC on what Bachmann was saying on Fox….wait till Hannity gets a hold of this Monday and sells this as the greatest move the R’s have ever pulled off since Nov. 2004….

Reid ran through a list of those he wanted to thank for making this moment possible. Literally everyone in America, with the exception of president Barack Obama was on that list.

Bottom line…

The Left: “We can live with those policy riders.”

The Right: “We can’t live w/o those policy riders.”

Result: No policy riders. The Right blinked.

The only thing Boehner won was he didn’t let the Tea Party drive him off a cliff.
But really, that is an impressive victory. He should be proud.

Jennifer Rubin: “According to reports, the outlines of a deal include $39 billion in spending cuts and withdrawal of the Planned Parenthood rider. He got Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to buy the rider, one his caucus was willing to give up, for another billion dollars. As I’ve reported, Negotiation 101 tells us that a good negotiator gets the other side to “buy” something your own side doesn’t care all that much about. You keep two issues open and trade them off at the end.”

Ohhhhhhh…so it was all a bluff. The Tea Party and GOP really wasn’t serious at all about defunding PP, EPA, NPR or the Affordable Health Care Act. Just a clever ruse to get a few more Billion cut. I had no idea you guys didn’t care about that stuff.

I know someone will probably shoot me down, but that’s my humble opinion. Back on topic, though, I’m glad the shutdown was averted (I have friends who working for the Federal goverment), and can only hope that the next weeks and months will be good for America. From both sides. Please. I thank the President, Mr. Boehner, and Mr. Reid for the work they did.

Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!

As far as her comments on the so-called “birther” issue, I don’t need Ms. Collins’s advice. There is a very large segment of our society who believe that Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States.

His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don’t know.

He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” but merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is totally different and of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, many things could have happened, but some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits thereto. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a United States citizen.

The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly.

For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don’t realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest “scam” in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.

Technically Obama resigned his duties as president of the United States of America over two years ago now. He is merely taking advantage of an obsolete law in favor of squatter’s rights in DC.We may never be able to get rid of him.

No one in America, in general, Left or Right, believes that no one should pay any taxes. We all have to. The theft and dishonesty is in the mis-appropriation of those funds.

Once again, the GOP is more than willing to hold the nation financially hostage in order to implement their narrow-minded social agenda. The House Republicans conveniently went after federally-funded programs that conflict with their political ideology.

If they truly were concerned about reducing the federal deficit, then they would have supported last year’s plan to end the Bush tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, and they would have stripped corporations such as the fossil fuel industries of their federal subsidies, axed wasteful, unneeded military weaponry contracts, worked to eliminate corporate tax loopholes, and removed the tax-exempt status of politically-active religious organizations.

New York, April 7, 2011

I recall reading hundreds of posting by liberals here over the last couple years, bragging that Democrats are more vigilant at balancing the budget than Republicans. Of course, they were trying to take credit for the budget discipline Newt Gingrich imposed on the Clinton administration. A ridiculous argument, as I pointed out on many occasions. Come on, lefties, remember when I told you that Congress controls the “power of the purse” and predicted that when Republicans took back the House, budget discipline will return? Do you want to pipe in now and brag about the Democrats’ fiscal responsibility? Seems to me that your “theory” of Democrat budgeting has been completely disproved. Fiscal restraint is finally coming back to Washington, D.C. and ALL of the heavy lifting is coming from the Republicans. Meanwhile Democrats have nothing to offer except more things they want to spend money on.

What a stark contrast between political parties: one acting responsibly, the other doing everything possible to force our nation into bankruptcy. A perfect setup for next year’s presidential election.
