Before anyone has even opened their mouths the left and right flank of our party is already surrendering and calling it a loss. It's time that stopped!<br /><br />On Mitch v. the new guys, I agree. I don't think "the establishment" is ready for the new partisan world. They are playing by old rules that tell them that they can buy us off with money for our district. They don't understand that the Reagan Revolution has arrived in the people and we want genuine change. We want our government remade or we will destroy it. Mitch and the boys don't grasp that.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-65193195640425569362011-08-13T22:31:14.014-04:002011-08-13T22:31:14.014-04:00Sorry, I should've stipulated that part of the...Sorry, I should've stipulated that part of the deal. <br />We definitely need more saavy leaders because there was no good reason to include this.<br /><br />And I concur. Too much in-fighting.<br />Part of that is due to McConnell not communicating with Boehner but notr all of it. <br /><br />Unfortunately, there may be too much of a gap between the old, establishment republicans and the newer, more conservative ones.<br /><br />When McConnell tried to pull the stunt he did it only deepened the (justifiable) mistrust that most conservatives have of the moderates and widened that gap.USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-57068157859428408002011-08-13T22:12:50.553-04:002011-08-13T22:12:50.553-04:00Ben, He hasn't turned against the deal, he'...Ben, He hasn't turned against the deal, he's upset that they have failed to sell it and let themselves be blamed for the whole chaos. I agree with that. The Republicans, as usual, let the donks run circles around them public relations-wise.<br /><br />That is unfortunately our history. For on thing, the MSM is on the side of the Donks. Secondly, the Republicans just don't realize that they need to sell everything they do to the public and keep selling.

I think the Donks want to get as many people as possible hooked on government benefits because that means more voters for them.<br /><br />On McConnell, I don't see him as a Democratic operative or sympathizer, but I do think he's old school Senate, which means that he believe in bipartisan ship and working together to find consensus. He's not ready for the more ideological world that is now moving into the Senate.<br /><br />Actually, let me clarify -- he's not ready for the right wing becoming ideological.... the left has always already been ideological, they just claimed they weren't.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-2417133314775133162011-08-13T21:06:08.001-04:002011-08-13T21:06:08.001-04:00The donks don't surprise me with their picks. ...The donks don't surprise me with their picks.

When the GOP held the Senate he was always giving in the the donks.<br />Sometimes I suspect he's a democrat operative. <br /><br />Boehner's picks are better but this idea of a super committee was stupid to begin with and shortsighted. <br />Make everyone in the House and Senate go on record.<br />This lets most of the democrats off the hook for the most part.<br /><br />Also, not sure if it's true, but I heard Thomas Sowell no longer supports the budget deal.<br />I'll do some searching later to find out why if it's true.<br /><br />Maybe this committee is the reason or one of them.<br />Must have found something he either missed or that was hidden somewhere deep inside.<br />At any rate, anytime he doesn't like an idea I know it'll be very bad.USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-1861886644471560652011-08-11T23:34:38.094-04:002011-08-11T23:34:38.094-04:00Ed, I agree with that.
