Reid urges GOP to ditch Tea Party - The Hill's On The Money

Operative quote:

"Reid insisted it is those GOP internal divisions that are threatening to shut down the government after April 8, in less than two weeks.

“For the sake of our economy, it’s time for mainstream Republicans to stand up to the Tea Party and rejoin Democrats at the table to negotiate a responsible solution that cuts spending while protecting jobs," he said.

Last week Reid put $7.5 billion in discretionary cuts and $3.5 billion in mandatory savings on the table as a counteroffer to the $51 billion in additional cuts the GOP is seeking."

The Honorable Senator Harry Reid is so much fun! Are you sure Harry - "For the sake of our economy...?" "Those dastardly Tea Party candidates are going to ruin, yes I say ruin, ruin, ruin or economy." The "mainstream Republicans" (Who are those guys anyway?) better control those Tea Party Republicans and rejoin the Democrats at spending more tax dollars to save the economy!

$7.5  billion + $3.5 billion = $11 billion - there is a great negeotiating position for Harry Reid to counter the $51 billion proposed by Republicans. This is where I distance myself from Republican politicians and admit they are the "party of stupid." Have not one of them ever sold an automobile, or bargained with anyone. Even my daughter knows you throw a high number out there so the buyer will counter with a number close to what you expect. So if you want to hit $100 billion in budget cuts - you propose $500 billion in cuts. But you don't negotiate low at $51 billion in cuts and then go lower when you have told the voters you want to slash $100 billion! Stupid, stupid, stupid politicians.

I say vote out the non-Tea Party Candidates and the incumbent "Do what Harry Reid tells you" Republicans who still believe it is their job to compromise and reach across the isle and do something. No, we are the party of Hell No! Just do nothing and take up space in your seat. Shut down the government for two months so all the "Public Servants," can drift away in desperation for some job to pay their mortgages and bills. With the savings pay off what we borrowed from China.
