Title: Where is Repub. Leadership?
Post by: Freeborn126 on March 10, 2011, 09:55:30 AM

So conservatives like myself gave establishment republicans a mandate to cut spending and protect civil liberties in the last election.  So where I ask is John Boehner and Eric Cantor?  I do not see them calling for big spending cuts like they promised, only a small 60 billion or so.  Why are they not speaking out against the TSA tyranny at our airports and their 4th amendment violating body searches?  I don't see any talk from the leadership about cutting the departments like Education, DHS, Energy, EPA etc. or supporting Rand Paul's 500 billion cut proposal.  I'm sure they will capitulate and raise the debt ceiling for Obama as well.

Obama and the Dems promised to veto the $60 billion they proposed. Do you expect them to approve a higher number?

This is your shittiest gimmick yet, MonsBlackenToxin007.

It's not just the $61 billion. If the government shuts down, it means no $105 billion for ObamaCare that Pelosi and Reid snuck into the bill.

And, since the Dems didn't bother to pass a budget, if there is a shutdown, the GOP can INDEFINITELY block funding, effectively putting ObamaCare to sleep, until it can be repealed.

If nothing else - the PIMCO story really hghlights just how fucking reckless and disgusting Obama is.    He truly is the Economy Killer and worst pofs ever to sit in office.   He is not remotely interested in being sensible or reasonable about our problems. 

Deficit Commission anyone?   They came back with a decent plan and idiot in chief punted.   

Who the hell voted for this?
