Boehner still insisting on ‘cut, cap and balance’ plan
Source: RawReplay
By David Edwards

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told Fox News’s Chris Wallace Sunday that any deal to raise the debt ceiling must be within the “cut, cap and balance” framework that has already been rejected by the Senate.

“I am going to continue to work with my congressional colleagues in both parties and my House Republican conference to try to develop a framework within the cut, cap and balance effort that the House passed this past week,” Boehner insisted. “I think a preferable path would be a bipartisan plan that involves all of the leaders, but it is too early to decide whether that is possible.”

“There will be a two-stage process, it’s just not physically possible to do all of this in one step. Having said that, Chris, I know the president is worried about his next election. But my God, shouldn’t he be worried about the country?” the Speaker wondered.

“So are you suggesting you might pass a short-term plan in the House and in effect, dare the Senate, dare the White House to block it?” Wallace asked.

1. Why wasn't this a crisis from 2001-2008?

2. Yeah, OK. Where was that fucking theory when MONKEY Boy was President?
When the drunk asshole was President it was "deficits don't matter" and "Steal, Charge, and STFU" that was their spending plan.
The President should tell this drunk asshole puke to kiss his ass, and do what is best for the country.
Cap THIS motherfucker.

GOD, I hate these assholes.

3. Shaking my head at the gall of this man to go there...
' "I know the president is worried about his next election. But my God, shouldn’t he be worried about the country?” the Speaker wondered.'

Anymore, the utter spew coming from the mouths of these GD BSing Republican men just makes me want to puke.
Politician heal thyself!!!!

For my sanity I try to overlook a lot of the pure political excrement that bubbles from the throats of these jerks. Really I try. I know it is sheer crap...but there are enough idiots out there that will cling to these comments without using an ounce of their own brains...and blindly support this kind of dreck.

NONE of this is about the country. NONE.
