This Is The Best Deal We Could Get? Part 2

Posted by Kal Vernon on Tuesday, August 2, 2011, In : debt limit

Earlier this year, during the debate over the budget, the GOP leadership in DC made a deal with the democrats and told us it was the best they could do. The cuts were not as big as originally promised, but that's all right. What really mattered is that republicans could not be blamed for a supposed government shutdown. Besides, the real fight would be waged during the debt ceiling debate and the next budget. Well here we are with the debt ceiling and once again we are told this...

Sarah Palin: Congressional Freshmen – For Such A Time As This

Posted by Kal Vernon on Thursday, July 28, 2011, In : debt limit

From Governor Palin's Facebook page

Out here in proverbial politico flyover country, we little folk are watching the debt ceiling debate with great interest and concern. Today I re-read the open letter I wrote to Republican Freshman Members of Congress in November 2010, just days after they were ushered into office in an historic landslide victory due in large part to the activism of commonsense patriots who are considered part of the Tea Party movement. I respectfully ask these G...

Senator Reid Caves On Tax Increases Update: Conservatives Denounce Boehner's Plan

Posted by Kal Vernon on Monday, July 25, 2011, In : debt limit

Senator Reid has released his plan to deal with the debt limit and it is without any tax increases. This is a great victory, but this plan is full of gimmicks that are not real cuts in spending. Speaker Boehner has unveiled a two step plan requiring another vote to increase the debt ceiling next year. President Obama, meanwhile, is still intent on raising taxes and will be speaking on television tonight. Expect the speech to be filled with more dire predictions of what will happen i...

Speaker Boehner Does Not Cave

Posted by Kal Vernon on Saturday, July 23, 2011, In : debt limit

Good news! Speaker Boehner has stopped trying to negotiate directly with President Obama on a debt limit deal. The bad news is that Boehner will now try to work out a deal with the Senate that just voted to table Cut, Cap and Balance. The democrats in the Senate stand with Obama and even now want Boehner and the GOP to cave on tax increases. Democrats refuse to see that our problem is spending and not taxes. They believe that all money belongs to Washington D.C. and it is they who ...

Lame Duck President

Posted by Kal Vernon on Saturday, July 23, 2011, In : debt limit

Latest from Governor Palin:

After listening to the President’s press conference today, let’s keep in mind the following:

This is the same president who proposed an absurdly irresponsible budget that would increase our debt by trillions of dollars, and whose party failed to even put forward a budget in over 800 days! This is the same president who is pushing our country to the brink because of his reckless spending on things like the nearly trillion dollar “stimulus” boondoggle. T...

Senate GOP Failing Us Again - Update Boehner Prepares For Compromise

Posted by Kal Vernon on Thursday, July 21, 2011, In : debt limit

Here we are in the midst of the debate over the debt limit and surprise, there are republicans in the Senate undercutting conservatives again. Senator McConnell formed a plan to allow the debt limit to be raised without any cuts in spending at all which will not save our credit rating. Now some GOP senators are on board with the Gang of Six plan which raises taxes while possibly gutting defense. Yes you read that correctly. There are GOP senators now in support of tax increases w...

Obama Brings Out The Fear Card Again

Posted by Kal Vernon on Wednesday, July 13, 2011, In : debt limit

Things have been going well in the negotiations on the debt ceiling so far. Speaker Boehner is still saying he will not cave on tax increases despite the dire rhetoric of the democrats. In his desperation, President Obama has now once a again dragged out the democrat scare tactics and is threatening to hold social security, military personnel and others hostage over the debt ceiling just as he did when they were negotiating the 2011 budget. Senator McConnell has now floated a plan...

Time To Contact Congress Again

Posted by Kal Vernon on Thursday, July 7, 2011, In : debt limit

President Obama and Congress are meeting today to attempt to work out a deal on the debt ceiling. As usual the democrats are pushing for tax increases to cover all of the spending they have run up over the last few years. Although the republicans have repeatedly said that tax increases are off the table, we have seen them cave before and we must not take the chance that they will do it again. Contact your congressman and senator today to let them know that any vote to raise taxes ...
