GOP, Tea Party unveil "plans/policies" for next two years

[rdean]

Hardball just had Republican after Republican and leaders of the Tea Party for the entire time of the show. Chris Mathews asked the same questions to each and every one and the answers were amazing.

First, the debt ceiling came up for each guest. Republicans said they would do whatever it takes to keep government running. The Tea Party guest said they could "shut down government" and that would be fine. Shut down government? I wonder what Gov. Christie thinks about that?

Then they talked about Health Care. Republican want to repeal health care. The recent CNN Poll was discussed again and again.

----------------------------
CNN Poll: Controversial health care provision unpopular – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

Overall, 54 percent oppose the law, down five points from March, with 43 percent in favor of the measure, up four points from earlier this year. But roughly a quarter of those who oppose the new law do so because it is not liberal enough. Only 37 percent of the public opposes the new law because it is too liberal.
-----------------------------
But look at the REAL Numbers, 43% are in favor of the measure and 13% feel it didn't go far enough. Hmmm, add those two together and 56% are either in favor or feel it didn't go far enough. Odd.

The amazing part was when they listed their policies on health care, creating jobs, regulating Wall Street, keeping jobs here. Here is the complete description of the Republican and Tea Party policies:

1. Health Care
a. repeal and replace with nothing.
b.

2. Creating jobs
a.

3. Regulating Wall Street
a. More deregulation
b.

4. Keeping jobs here
a.

5. Debt ceiling
a. Raise ceiling (GOP)
b. Shut down government (TP)
c.

6. Darrel Isa
a. Get Obama
b. Get Obama
c. Get Obama
d.

Well, that's it. That's the Republican plans for helping America for the next two years. If someone has more info, please share. Provide links. Help us to understand what Republican's plans are for the next two years.

WE the people would be just FINE. Some of us don't need Gubmint to function in our daily lives.

Get it?

 

[editec]

Can't wait for you TPers to explain to the boys in Afghanistan why they won't be paid, or resupplied until some compromise is found.

Oh?

That isn't the government you were thinking of when you elected to shut it down out of childish spite?

Well that's the government we have, so maybe it would help to think just a tad more deeply about the problems we're actually facing.

Shut Gubmint down? *I'm ALL FOR IT*. We'd be alot better off. Bog everything down.

We'd be a lot better off when? When interest rates for U.S. borrowing doubles or triples and we have roll over that 14 trillion of debt?

1. Business*

*For type of business, see 'as usual'.

I'm talking about defaulting on your debt and getting your credit rating downgraded. Do you even know what that means?

 

[Darkwind]

Figures. The incoming GOP'ers screwed up.

They should have said that because the US Government cannot afford to default on its debt, that they would be willing to do a little horse trading for support of debt limit increases.

We will vote to raise the debt limit if we get signed assurances that the budget will be cut 20% across the board.

You know the part that amazes me the most about this?

Rdean has complained again and again about the Republicans running up the debt under Bush, Bush, and Reagan, yet when someone steps up and says that we need to stop spending and spending past the debt limit, and just raising it like it doesn't matter at all, he cries about it because there is a Democrat in the White House.

Would it help if I I lined up a Democrat who supports not raising the debt ceiling again? Or even a Tea Party Republican who thinks that raising it is a good idea? Or would the fact that not everyone thinks the same cause your brain to explode?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

At what point do we quit extending the federal debt. 20T, 100T, 500T? Or do we just carry on with irrational behavior and enjoy the ride to the bottom?

 

[The T]

Fact of the matter here folks is that something's gotta GIVE. I'd prefer it be government...and NOT raising the debt ceiling and getting serious about this debt we're in courtesy of ALL of our electeds.

Enough is enough. We're broke for Christ's sake.

The people I guess to Deany weren't loud enough in the midterms.

 

[uscitizen]

Hmm so far it looks like the republicans plans are to get Obama re-elected.
