Spineless Republicans Helping Liberals In The House

By Semperpapa

Echoes of conservatism are quickly dissipating in the halls of the House of Representatives, just as the hopes of those American people who voted last November to place politicians in power to reverse the indiscriminate spending in are slowly dying.

The Senate passed a 2-week extension coming to an end, 91-9 to avoid the shut down of the government. Now there is the attempt to institute another 3-week extension for the same purpose.
To achieve consensus, liberals are agreeing to an additional $6 billion spending cuts. Against $1.7 trillion deficit!

Democrat senators are positioning, successfully, to further damage the opposition with such shenanigans, because as they continue to engage in these types of small fixes, they push more Republicans, in both houses, to take a position against the extensions. Eventually, there may actually be a government shutdown liberals will be able to blame on Republicans, especially the hated TEA Party Republicans.

And what would be the problem with a government shutdown? That would actually be a great benefit to the Nation!
The left will find every available media venue to present the lies of the dire consequences of such a shutdown, conveniently leaving out the fact that essential services, Military and federal law enforcement and the like, would not be affected.

In the House of Representatives, many of the freshmen Republicans, including Allen West and Mike Lee, are opposing the extension. In the Senate, Marco Rubio has expressed his opposition to the detrimental status quo that these continuing extensions perpetuate.

In final analysis, even the $60 billion cuts Boenher and Cantor are so proud of are nothing more than a band aid on a sucking chest wound. Shutting down the government would actually save a lot of money for the American people, who in turn would put the necessary pressure on the spineless Republicans and the cunning Democrats to do some real spending cuts.

Just my thoughts!
