Ask the Tea Party and John Boehner, remember the deal gave him 98% of what he wanted and was supported by most members of the House Tea Party caucus. You guys STILL don't seem to realize that the Republicans took control of the House this past January.
You guys STILL don't seem to realize that the Republicans took control of the House this past January. That list "IS" what they asked for, and was told to go piss off!!!! And you "STILL SEEM TO FORGET" that no matter what the House proposes the Senate still has to vote on it and approve it...... If it gets voted on at all, because Fairy Harry Reid won't bring certain things to the floor because he's afraid "THEY WILL PASS"........ Almost 900 days and counting and still no budget proposal by the Dumbassocrats!!
Yep. Let's imagine that Obama is sincere in his desire to cut the deficit. I don't believe that, but let's just imagine it. Who is standing in his way? Harry Reid, who is the biggest obstructionist the Congress has ever seen in its history. Harry Reid's Senate hasn't even voted on a budget in over two years. They won't vote on anything. Everything get's "tabled" so that leftist scum suckers can claim that they never voted for or against spending cuts. They are pathetic wimps. The GOP House passed a budget this year. They also passed an additional bill to cut spending. It wasn't enough, but at least they passed something. Harry Reid tabled it. Cowards.

You're being way too nice, you need to add in quite a few 4 letter words (in any language you choose) and that would be more accurate......
John Boehner is the guy who refused to take a $4 billion debt deal because it included $1.2 billion in new revenues. Republicans aren't serious about cutting the deficit, as each deal proves.
