House conservatives obsessed with playing Samson
Last night, rebellious Republican congressmen sent Plan B to outer space, banished their speaker to the corner and sent a message to the American people that yes, we really are this crazy.
In the end, voting for permanent tax cuts for 99.81 percent of Americans turned out to be unacceptable to those obsessed with maintaining 100 percent ideological purity. Downtrodden millionaires and billionaires must be protected, whatever the cost.
Afterward, Speaker John Boehner seemed to throw up his hands in frustration at his own caucus.
“The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass,” Boehner said in a prepared statement. “Now it is up to the president to work with Sen. Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff.”
Boehner made no public statement and took no questions.
On critical issues of taxation and spending, this represents an enormous loss of clout for Boehner. To get future fiscal-cliff legislation through the House, he will now have to rely upon votes from both Republicans and Democrats — and probably more Democrats than Republicans. That in turn will make Nancy Pelosi his de facto co-speaker, with the two leaders trying to cobble together enough moderate votes from their parties to do the nation’s business.
It will be interesting to see whether Boehner’s fellow Republicans tolerate him playing that role, tolerance not being one of their strong points. And after the fiscal cliff will come the looming need to raise the debt ceiling, a vote that now becomes fraught with even more danger for Republicans. There too, it’s now clear that Boehner will have to turn to Pelosi and her caucus for votes, increasing the odds of a dramatic cleavage within the House GOP.
It’s also important to note that conservative bravado notwithstanding, refusing to pass such legislation is not an option. It will pass because it must pass. The House may vote no once. It may vote no twice. But eventually, it will vote yes. It is only a question of how much damage the conservatives are willing to do to their party and their country as they play out their Samson Complex, intent on pulling the whole corrupt, Philistine temple down around their ears rather than compromise.
In that sense, the serenity prayer offered by Boehner in last night’s private GOP caucus was a rare touch of poetry from the saloon-keeper’s son:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
As last night demonstrated, such wisdom is in pitifully short supply right now. Republicans find themselves divided and in retreat, pitted against a president whose approval/disapproval ratings now stand at 56/37. Perhaps more important, they are playing out their dysfunction in front of a citizenry already inclined to see the GOP as extremist and unwilling to bend for the good of the country.
Asked last night whether Boehner deserves blame for this failure, U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette, Boehner’s fellow Ohioan, was blunt in rejecting the notion:
“It’s like saying the superintendent of an insane asylum should be discharged because he couldn’t control the crazy people. That’s nuts.”
Then again, isn’t it the job of the superintendent to control the crazy people?
LaTourette is an interesting figure. He was first elected to the House in 1994, part of the Gingrich wave that gave the GOP its first House majority in half a century. But the party’s hard move to the right has left him frustrated, and this year he declined to run for re-election. That has given him the freedom to utter hard, difficult truths.
“It weakens the entire Republican Party…,” he said after last night’s disaster. “It’s the continuing dumbing down of the Republican Party, and we are going to be seen more and more as a bunch of extremists that can’t even get a majority of our people to support our own policies that we’re putting forward. If you’re not a governing majority, you’re not going to be a majority very long.”

My favorite statement in LaPierre’s diatribe today:

So apparently there was no response from 0311/8541/5811/1811/1801 on why Wall St financiers laying into the Social Security trust fund — you know they’re literally dripping slobber at the thought of it — is an example of MOOCHERS at work.
To me, it’s the pinnacle of moocherdom. But given the crickets from the likes of 0311/8541/5811/1811/1801, I’m guessing he thinks no so much.
Interesting thinking there, 0311/8541/5811/1811/1801 .

“All the real working people voted for Romney. Not meant to be a factual statement.”
But don’t you know if they’re actually “working”, they’re making at least a million a year…or drawing that from their dividends or daddy’s trust fund. Everyone else is just a “taker” in this economy. You only count if your net worth is in the seven figure range at a minimum.
Sad that they don’t know that a large portion of their own voting bloc is part of the infamous 47%, and even sadder that those folks keep voting for them.

F…..g Math:
Over the next ten years the CBO projects we will sport approximately $10 trillion in additional deficits. Obama’s tax increases bring in $600 billion to $1 trillion over ten years. The tax increases solve 10% of problem and that assumes the tax increases down have a drag affect on GDP.
In the past couple of years the Republican House has passed actual budgets, with real and specific numbers on paper, that gradually bring down deficits. Yes it cuts spending and painfully, it has to happen to make the math work.
The Senate has not passed a budget in years. The Presidents last budget was voted down 97-0 in the Senate. It is the last specific “plan” put forth by Democrats that had actual numbers on paper. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE POINT ME TO A SPECIFIC PLAN, WITH NUMBERS ON PAPER, PUT FORWARD BY THE PRESIDENT OR HARRY REID THAT ADDRESSES THE REMAINING 90% OF THE 10 YEAR BUDGET SHORTFALL.

All the while maintaining an ever growing defense budget and continued tax cuts for those already paying a lower percentage than most of their employees. The problem with their “budget” is that it follows the Ryan budget plan, which was clearly voted down by the American people as well as most of his buddies in Congress. I bet you couldn’t get the Republicans to agree on where to have lunch right now, let alone propose an actual budget that makes sense.

Did someone say, “deficits”?
Which brings us to the economic level. The deficits that Bush ran up in the years in which the country was teetering on the verge of a serious recession had the beneficial effect of righting the economy. In that sense, deficits not only didn’t matter, but were a force for economic good.

More guns in more hands means more potential accidents and more potential shooters to have to secure in a building in the wake of such a disaster. All we’d need in most high schools is a force of adults running around with guns while the police try to secure the scene. The original shooter is dead by the time the first responders get in the building. Then you have a group of scared teachers you have to get to secure their firearms before you can even think about bringing medical personnel in the building. Sheesh, what a nutty idea!

Hypothetically, if I grant you that the current trajectory of deficits is the Republicans fault.

2. Fixing the deficit problem without tanking the economy means a gradual increase in taxes AND gradual cutting of spending. When the economy is better, we can adjust more.

Thanks for the link. I haven’t read in entire document yet but on page 1, third paragraph on left the document says that total savings through 2022 are $250 billion. Again we are facing a ten year hole of approximately $10 trillion, so the Presidents discretionary budget cuts solves 2.5% of the problem. Those cuts are real but come no where close to solving the entirey of the problem. Granted the majority of the answer lies in Medicare.

let’s pay special attention to LaPierre’s most important policy proposal [NRA]
——————————————————————————–
As the NRA leader sees it, the only proper solution to “a bad guy with a gun” is … wait for it … “a good guy with a gun.” With that in mind, LaPierre’s big new idea is armed guards at every school in the United States.
No, seriously, that’s what he wants.
Of course, school campuses can be awfully large, and the guards can’t be posted at every entrance, so I’m not sure why the NRA isn’t also suggesting armed guards be assigned to every student in every school.
Indeed, massacres aren’t limited to schools, so it stands to reason that the nation will also need armed guards “deployed” — a word LaPierre used in his speech — to movie theaters, shopping malls, and houses of worship.
And what happens when people go home? People are sometimes shot by criminals in their own house, which suggest we’ll need armed guards at all U.S. homes, too.
You get the point.”

We have short term and long term obligations, just like everyone who owns a house. The problem is the Republicans are saying to the country, “yeah, you may be making less money, and need to upgrade skills, but instead of going back to school, you need to pay down that 30 year mortgage..you are BROKE!!!” The war of 1812 was financed with DEBT!!!!

Asked earlier:
“The original plan Obama had would have increased MY taxes, but I was ready to make the sacrifice. And it’s MY money? Why do these blockheads fight so rabidly for other peoples money/ Money they will NEVER see? What is so wrong with the rich helping to foot the bills for the things that make them rich?”
I’ve always wondered about this.
I believe the answer is:
(1) Working-class Republicans agree with and want to support a lot of the party’s positions on social issues;
(2) The essence of conservatism is holding onto traditional practices and ideas, including the oldest American notion of all–that the USA is the Land of Opportunity–even when it’s not that any more, much. Believing fervently in the L. of Op. thing, working class Repubs also fervently believe that they WILL see those big piles o’ money one day.
This is a young country of immigrants with only a fragmentary shared culture. What stands at the heart of that little which can be shared here is the hope of economic advancement. Lots of us have to cling to that hope in order to make this country’s demanding social world make sense.

Here’s one relatively quick fix: To buy ammunition, you have to provide evidence of having completed a gun-safety course, including basic marksmanship.
All of a sudden, a lot of the guns held out there in criminal land will become a lot harder to fill with bullets. Will many of them still succeed in doing so? Yes. But it will be a lot fewer than today.

In the context of the unlimited human spirit, Jay, extremism always defeats itself through inadequacy.
But if we know this, as we who love real-deal democracy should, why do we have to endure all the political machinations we’re currently going through to get there?
Maybe it’s the Republicans just don’t love democracy and maybe it isn’t, but damn, we should be able to do better than this by now, even for the greediest and most selfish among us.
All this begs the question, of course, how much longer till our Founders are front-and-center in our politics again, not standing on the sidelines like they didn’t know what they were talking about?
Time and the prognosis on political insanity will only tell, but hopefully (and prayerfully) not much longer. I mean, we’ve got a nation and finally a world to save, Jay, and time is definitely running out!

Here’s the censored version that no doubt falls within Jay’s guidelines (and yes Jay I knew it was over the top):
Guns are a major problem, and you guys KNOW that.
There is no evidence to support the idea that more guns equals more safety. The one person who has suggested this and claims he has evidence has been widely discredited (http://www.salon.com/2012/12/21/why_is_the_media_rehabilitating_john_lott/) and doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
You guys need to face facts. It’s time to restrict these weapons of mass murder, just like we restrict entrance into airports, just like we restrict sudafed because of meth addicts, just like we restrict FREE SPEECH because someone yelled fire in a crowded theater, just like we restrict people’s rights to liberty in the form of operating their chosen form of motor vehicle.
A right to a gun is not paramount. Dying on that hill would be foolish. You gain no security from having a weapon, but you DO create loss of freedom by insisting that it is a required part of everyone’s daily life. Being afraid that someone out there is going to shoot you down and several of your friends/colleagues/classmates all the time is NOT FREEDOM.
