TEA PARTY’S NEWEST TARGET:DEBT ‘SUPER COMMITTEE.’

I don’t know how much of this is true,but I heard on the radio:

Committee will have 6 members from each party

Obama will be the tie-breaking vote

Bills coming out of this committe go straight to the floor

No amendments,no filibusters,simple majority votes rule

No hearings by committees or subcommittees

Putting the fate of our nation in the hands of 13 people smacks of dictatorship

I don’t know how much of this is true–you’d think their intentions would have leaked out by now

One thing is sure:the Republicans will get rolled–we always hope for a different outcome,but it will never happen

  1. Obama IS historic. The downgrade could have been preventable had he done his job in the first place, but The Black Jim Jones article nails it.

    I love Greta Van Sustern’s knock down to Sen. John Kerry, especially that delicious P.S. about strong-willed wives. That almost makes up for all the bad news because it least it shows someone in the media has a spine.

          Given the amount of support Streisand gave to Obama’s 2008 campaign, esp with fund-raising, I think this perfect:

          The Way We Were (Streisand):
          Memories, light the corners of my mind
          Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.
          Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
          Smiles we give to one another
          For the way we were.
          Can it be that it was all so simple then
          Or has time rewritten every line?
          If we had the chance to do it all again
          Tell me would we? Could we?
          Memories, may be beautiful and yet
          What’s too painful to remember
          We simply choose to forget
          So it’s the laughter we will remember
          Whenever we remember
          The way we were.

  4. TEA PARTY’S NEWEST TARGET:DEBT ‘SUPER COMMITTEE.’ … I don’t know how much of this is true

    Communism + Kabuki Theater = Supercongress!! by the soft-spoken, ever-reserved 😉 Ann Barnhardt: “SuperCongress completely shreds Article 1 Section 1 of the Constitution. PLEASE read the following American Thinker piece which explains this in detail. … this is all modeled precisely after the Soviet Union.”

    Ann refers to this article: The Budget Control Act Of 2011 Violates Constitutional Order by Herbert W. Titus and William J. Olson

    Barnhardt’s column ends with this quote, infamous, but not well enough known these days, alas:

    “”Your children’s children will be living under communism.

    “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you; we will so weaken your economy until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”

    –Nikita Krushchev
