Breaking!! Senate GOP ponders ceding power to President Obama

Constitutionally, they can't do that.

Who am I kidding?

There will be nothing civil about the coming Civil War.

Boehner is just a Vatican stooge

WHAT?!??!?!?!?


ARE THEY INSANE??!?!?!!!!


NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! NOOOO!!!!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!



AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!1

Harry Reid is a COMMUNIST.

Get rid of him.

Leave it to a n****3r to fuck it up.

HHHmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Now, where did I read about a country turning everything over to an elected official because "only he" could fix their problems? Seems like the late 1930s rings a bell.

Indeed bumping for later read!

There should be not one shred of doubt that the two party system is the same.

Wahey! Let's turn over all authority to the president and dissolve congress whilst we're at it

I don't think you guys are quite getting what this situation is about...

Huge cuts are going to have to occur.
Republicans want Obama to make cuts, but they have so far Boehner refused to actually outline *what* they actually want cut.

This is because to do so is political suicide. If the Republicans actually outlined what they wanted cut, they would later have to take the blame from constituents for making those cuts, and risk damaging their own future politics.

Obviously they want to cede this 'power' because what they are ceding is the power to get everyone pissed off at you for cutting their funding, getting them laid off, etc.

This way Obama makes the cuts that need to be made, and Republicans can then, farther down the road, take shots at him (and more importantly the Democrats in general) for making those cuts.

Moral of the story - Republican Senators primary concern is getting re-elected, and are unwilling to do their job - ie making tough decisions and being accountable for them.

Yes, the one time they really do have power, they are in a hurry to give it away.

Hope their constituents try to talk some sense back into them. They weren't sent to Washington to lose on purpose to Obama.

sorry hit the wrong key and posted this too soon ...

WHAT CUTS NEED TO BE MADE?

It matters who decides this. We've already seen what Obama wants to cut. His first act, even before the deadline, was to release illegal aliens. Was that a cut that needed to be made?

No, the point of the sequester is that the cuts are predefined at least to some extent, and the good thing is that they will include cuts in government. If Obama gets to decide, government will remain bloated, Medicaid will be well protected, and maybe it's Social Security and Medicare that will get hurt more.

85 billions dollars aint shit. This is all a joke.

Ja, genau so.

Sounds familiar doesn't it?!!! HHHHMMMM NAW I was think of somebody else.

Well at least you're closer to the truth than most. When I heard this I thought this is a way of getting us used to another idea now that goes against everything we could recognize as a relatively free country. One more loosening the bonds by suggestion which you can bet will be whipped out later because they know they're next up in 2016 and up for that stage of the overall agenda.

Of course they expect it to fail. DCers do it all the time and why it's wise to have a long memory. By the time we get there we'll have a pretty accurate idea where it's all going.

Bad idea.

He'll take those cuts out of the safety of the nation, and give it squarely to those that he can buy votes for Democrats from.

Who gives a shit about "good strategic moves" and "laying the blame" and all that crap? This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Period!

End of story!

What they're considering is wrong!!

I don't care what the Dems do and what Obama does - two/ten/a million wrongs counteracted with another million wrongs don't make a right.

Trample the Constitution and what do you have left? Yeah, just about what we have now.

GOP is tearing themselves apart.

Yeah, I was just sitting here thinking, "Obama just doesn't have enough power."

The Constitution was a sweet dream that Americans pissed away.

They make it up as they go along now.

It happened just as our founding fathers said it would.

yay.

Yes.

Do you lads need Russia to topple El presidente and install a Pro eastern Dicator for you?

You know how that works right?

Putin will call it Operation American Freedom!!!!!!

Lol

And if we call or write any of these scumbag Republicans to complain our names will immediately be put on a list.
