Those fuckers have already blown their chance in my mind. They're no better than the 2004 Democratic Party Lite Republicans. They caved on cutting spending; I'm not surprised they'd slime this one. I can't wait to send money to primary these people.
The GOP should have just voted after zero hours, like the Dems did on ObamaCare. Also, the article says both "three days" and "72 hours". Which is it? It says Boehner clarified it after the "Pledge" was released to say it was "three days". Also, Obama was the one who promised 72 hours of website availability for any bill that passes Congress during the 2008 campaign. He has broken that promise many times. Funny how that works in the leftist media, and their liberal lapdogs like Mr. Jayremmie.
After the shenanegans that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid did with their majorities, the GOP had an opportunity to show they were different. This is fucking lawyer ball; technically correct but it violates the spirit of the law. The bottom line is that Boehner is a fucking terrible negotiator who caved and who wants to end this chapter so he can cave on the debt limit. He doesn't want the "extremist" Tea Partiers who don't realize that being in the "mainsteam" means $100B really translates to $345MM. He and his ilk need to get the fuck out of the way if they're not willing to fight. There are plenty who are.
This is how I feel as well. We have had very poor government for the last 18 years, but no one has the guts to get done what has to be done. I would say that aside from the 5 Presidents leading up to the civil war, this is the worst stretch in US history from the oval office and congress.
So your argument, outside of calling me a liberal lapdog, is that the democrats also did it? Okay... So its pretty clear that anything the republicans do will get a pass with you. Good to know.
it's sleazy to me that the "72 hours" has shifted to "three calendar days", even if it's 24hrs and 2 minutes. I don't remember it being "clarified", though I'm sure that wouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of press as a grandstand during election season would. That said, at least it's 24 hrs and 2 minutes. And as some have posted, I wish some of the other legislation over the last few years had been able to wait that long. Not as transparent as promised.
Don't blame me. I voted for their opponents back then. If I ever ran, my slogan would be, "Lots of talk, then nothing will change. You know it, I know it. Don't get excited."
