House Republicans Now Regret Debt Ceiling Deal By Mark
What a bunch of liars! Everybody with the discerning capacity of a gnat knew that the Debt Deal was a loser, and that the triggers and targets and sequestrations would all result in only one thing: Massive defense cuts while the Obama spending machine chugs along. Now that it has come to pass, some House Republicans are now expressing “buyers’ remorse.” My suggestion to these simpering would-be Republican leaders is that if they think they now feel badly about the way this has turned out, just imagine their poor voters. These members of Congress who were elected precisely to stand firm on this issue should understand something more: If they think they’re feeling buyers’ remorse, they should see how their voters feel about having elected them. They feel badly? Not badly enough!
This foolishness is their way of trying to repair bridges to voters, particularly the Tea Party, but I think it’s pathetic and will not work. I think the voters who elected these members, all of them, should remember that these are the people who sold us out to Barack Obama on the basis that they needed to do so in order to save their own electoral skin. As I discussed at the time of the “deal,” the entire episode was a display of sickening surrender by House Republicans, whipped into submission by a weak Republican leadership that is more willing to discipline its own members than to fight the leftist front.
