John Boehner has just given away the Republican victory of 2010 at the
bargaining table. Like the proverbial Uncle Sam who always wins the war but
loses the peace, he has unilaterally disarmed the Republican Party by
showing that he will not shut down the government and will, instead,
willingly give way on even the most modest of cuts in order to avoid it. He
now has no arrows left in his quiver.
Having failed to stand firm for just $61 billion in cuts in a budget of $3.7
trillion, how can we expect him to stand firm over the debt limit extension
or the 2012 budget? We can't. The excellent budget proposals of Paul Ryan
are no more than a pipe dream now. Boehner has He sold us out now and he'
ll sell us out again.
It is the duty of every Republican Congressman to vote no on this terrible
deal. It violates our campaign promises to the American people. We
promised $100 billion of cuts and we delivered $38 billion ($62 billion on a
twelve month basis). In the Republican House's first real test out of the
box it has broken the promise over which it was elected. Only in Meat Loaf'
s music is "two out of three not bad."
This concession makes it clear that:
* Obamacare will not be defunded.
* The EPA will not be blocked from regulating carbon.
* The NLRB will not be stopped from forcing an end to secret ballots in
union contests.
* Medicaid will not be block granted and turned over to the states.
* Welfare spending will not be cut nor work requirements imposed.
* The FCC will not be stopped from regulating talk radio.
In short, we have accomplished nothing by our hard work in 2010.
Except we have learned a lesson.
And the lesson is this: We need to purify our party and purge it of the
likes of John Boehner and all those Congressmen who vote for the budget
sellout. The Tea Party must take the lead in this purifying fire. We must
not let the RINOs win! |
