7. Republicans to slash military spending. "In their latest refusal to compromise, Republicans are willing to weaken America and its standing in the Middle East for political gain in November..."

Cantor and the Cuts
By Robert Costa, NRO
September 25, 2012

Eric Cantor is frustrated. Democrats refuse to negotiate on the defense sequester, and Cantor thinks they may simply want to see “a diminished Pentagon.”

As the debt-ceiling talks collapsed last year, House Republicans stuck a deal, but it was a deal they despised. At the eleventh hour, with the debt limit looming, they agreed that if party leaders failed to compromise on long-term spending reductions via a “supercommittee,” budget cuts specifically aimed at defense would begin in early 2013.

Ever since, House Majority Leader Cantor has assumed that the prospect of sending pink slips to soldiers would force the White House and Senate Democrats to work with him and Speaker John Boehner. Now, Cantor says, he’s not so sure.

“There really hasn’t been a good-faith attempt by the president or his party to come to any resolution,” Cantor tells me as we chat in his Capitol office. “It could very well be that the president had that in mind. Who knows? But there has not been any resolution and we are left with this sequester.”

That leaves Cantor and Boehner in a bind. If the impasse continues and the Pentagon budget is slashed, Democrats will assert that Republican leaders share responsibility. Cantor knows this, so behind the scenes, the Virginia lawmaker is working to ensure that the GOP makes their opposition to the cuts well known.

Hoist by his own petard.

That's the best you got...


It's Cantor's fault?

Among many others. There's plenty of blame to go around. He's just trying harder than most to avoid taking any responsibility.

Plenty to go around... Care to name any names?

I don't have time to list them all. Senators and Congressmen of both parties. Anyone who stood in the way of the Simpson Bowles framework.

Officially numbering your own thoughts suggests an unusual degree of self-importance.

 

[Adre]

Not to mention it doesn't even apply to my response...if you actually read it

 

[Adre]

But that's okay, I'm on to your brand of cut, paste and run.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I'm on to Democrats who cannot get beyond one-liners by way of discussion.

If it don't fit (on a bumper sticker),
You must FORGET!

A_J's corollary #6, “The New Age Liberal thinks, ‘When I do/say it, it is right because of my open-minded education and intelligence. When you do/say it, it serves to demonstrate how narrow-minded, poorly educated and stupid you are.’”

Okay, sport, let me try more than one line. I'm not a Democrat and have never been one for starters. Sometimes one line is all it takes. I note that many of your posts contain one hundred lines of someone else's thinking, and then a brief comment from you. So I'll assume they are invalid as well. As to your " corollary" if the shoe fits...but I never called you stupid. You should work on your self-esteem

A liberal friend told me the difference between them and conservatives is liberals "listen."

Nobody is anything anymore. I have plenty of self-esteem and no need to explain myself. Threads like this would not appear if there were actual conversations going on but independents such as yourself come in and toss out one-liners about Republicans when the thread is more, or less, a commentary on the advocation by the press for Democrats on every level, every issue and any topic. If you think you can sum up everything you think in one line, sobeit, far from me to tell you different, but you cannot disguise your independent partisanship on topic after topic. So, please, be my guest, keep on tossing...

They listen for the cherry, pick it, and run with it and then pretend that it is the topic under discussion...

They listen to themselves. Everything else is hate speech.

The running dialog in their head.

They listen to Chris Matthews and Bill Maher.

Two of the most nauseating people in the history of TV.

Both are genetically predisposed to the pathological lie.

Ann Coulter really broke Matthews' balls on TV this morning. It was a beautiful thing.

Oh, that's right, it's okay when your RWCJ buddies do it.

Got it.

Yep, that's why YOU have something like 100 threads where you compare President Obama to Hitler.

Like your buddy Miles? His one liners above and below are real examples of wit and thought. Face it, you like one liners you agree with. Vette is another one liner genius. Go ahead, put me on ignore and go pull your pud with your one liner fanboys.
