Totally, brazenly dishonest?

Yes.

Why?

Because it is my nature.

I imagine Reid isn't too happy about this. He and Schumer have been fighting-- in public at times-- over the budget issue, and Schumer playing his hand in public must be frustrating for him.

Bwahahahaha!

 "Hoyer: Shutdown Likely, but Dems Not to Blame" 

The Dems say they made an offer of $20B, which the Rs deny. A story is also circulating that a budget deal was almost made last week to the tune of $35B in cuts but it didn't go over well with many conservatives in the House.* Regardless of what happened, the fact remains that neither side is getting what they want, so there very well could be a shutdown on the 8th due to internal fighting in both camps and neither party wanting to cede ground to the other. Then again, this could all just be noise.

_{*Hard to say if it's actually true.} 

"Dean: Gov't Shutdown would be the 'best thing in the world'":

“If I was head of DNC, I would be quietly rooting for it,” said Dean, speaking on a National Journal Insider’s Conference panel Tuesday morning. “I know who’s going to get blamed – we’ve been down this road before.”

“From a partisan point of view, I think it would be the best thing in the world to have a shutdown,” said Dean. He added that as a statesman, he is not rooting for a shutdown because of its harmful effect on the country.

When I hear "extreme" I just keep picturing burritos.

This.

51 [...] I don't notice Republicans nearly as coordinated in their message wars.

It's hard to be coordinated when so many in the party are fighting for different things and for different reasons. We have Republicans more interesting in pay-back against the leadership than doing what's right, appropriators against budgeteers, freshmen and RSC members squabbling over tactics, the leadership is not on the same page, the list is endless. At least the Dems are loyal in advancing a common cause even if they hate each other and are fighting like cats and dogs in private.

 We're out of our league, folks. We cannot compete with the Democrats with our Bad News Bears Republicans.

It doesn't matter anymore.  People who even half-assed follow what's happening in this country know that no matter what anyone says at this point, the fact is clear:  We're fucked. 

Been done multiple times, wasn't reported.

Republicans don't respond by saying  "You're a liar" often enough.  Often enough for me would be daily.

86 So the democrats are refusing to negotiate, and lying about others refusing to negotiate, and hoping for a shut down so they can smear the tea party? [...]

Yes, and they already started. They are repeatedly taunting Boehner, stating that he needs to leave the Tea Party behind and do what's best for America. Some Dem leaders in the House and in the Senate have already said that it's the Tea Parties fault, and they're pointing to this Tea Party rally in DC next week that is aimed at getting the full bill + riders.

In 1964 LBJ and the Dems wanted to pass the Civil Rights legislation.  Goldwater was almost alone among Republicans (there were southern Dems who were with him) saying "you can't do this, not because we don't want equality for all our citizens, but because we're the federal government, and we don't have the Constitutional right to do so!"

The Dems said "it's what JFK wanted," and Goldwater was being extreme.  It didn't matter that it was wrong, as long as you could sell it to the morons who don't know any better.

It worked then, it works now. 

Roll Call: No Deal on Spending Bill With Senate, Boehner Says

He says there is no deal as to the amount, which is consistent with Republican denials of a  $20B deal . But the Dems are insistent that a deal exists and that the Republicans are stubbornly refusing it.

Also, an example of the Dems' blaming the Tea Party from Dingy Harry: “They are afraid to tell the extreme* Tea Party members of the caucus that they are trying to find common ground with Democrats. Is that so embarrassing?”

Because that kind of complex and subtle messaging takes years of experience and a special innate talent to devise.  I'm frankly in awe, and I'm considering using that message, as soon as I reassure myself that I completely understand the ramifications.

Republicans really need to stop living in fear of every little thing that the media will do and start getting out there and speaking the TRUTH. 

YES. Go over their heads and speak directly to the American people, as Reagan did.

The article did not mention which reporter(s) gave them the story. Isn't it fucking sad that these cowards are afraid to go on record? Schumer will just deny it and get away with it.

We need to look for all those who write up stories on the call and shame them into reporting what Chucky did.

It does seem odd that the reporters reported this.  Maybe the angle is, "Look!  Schumer is wicked organized!  He's slick!" or something.  I don't know.

What I do know is, Schumer's had a ton of Botox, and botox fucks with people's brains.

We practically are in Red China.  I just found out the other day that the deputy attorney general titles in New York are, respectively, "Executive Deputy Attorney General for Social Justice" and "Executive Deputy Attorney General for Economic Justice."

Not for nothing, a few years ago, I went on a run through lower Manhattan near the courts.  I happened past Schumer, who was in front of a podium bloviating to a crowd of gathered reporters about a court case, which wouldn't have been so strange except, if memory serves, it was a Sunday. Meaning, there probably had been no decision yet and they were getting his well-informed opinion "in the can" on something that probably hadn't even happened yet.  I yelled out "Asshole!" but not loud enough to make a stir.

If we're "lucky" they repeat what Democrats have told them about the legislation's impact.  Including the reporters on Fox.

 Speaking of smears, Maher is on Hardball right now. This ought to be illuminating.

To paraphase the old maxim, viewers use losers like Tweety and Pickle Nose like drunks use lampposts....not for illumination, but as something to throw up on

Because they do believe those things—about you, Republican voter. And they cave, always, on everything, to prove they're not you and don't represent you.

The best part of it is that the Democrats don't even believe that shit. (Half of their voters do, but they're fucking lunatics.) The asshole serenity on the faces of people like Schumer and Obama and Pelosi is right. Their victory over you—us—is so pervasive, fundamental, permanent, and easy, there's literally nothing lawful we can do about it, ever.

If they want to debate, and are willing to listen, then good on them - come on in.

But don't start calling me names because you can't win an argument.  All they would have to say is, 'Shit.  Well, I didn't know that.  Let me look into what you said.' That way, there isn't a 'winner'.

But no.  They pull out the insults, name calling, etc. 

They'd have better luck whipping out their dick & flinging it on the table. At least then I could say, 'Well, with a short stick like that, your ignorance is to be expected.'

Then we could all laugh.

The $60 billion in cuts the GOP proposed represents a 4.6% cut of 2010 discretionary spending.  XTREME!!!

The $1.6 trillion in annual deficits represents buying a new F-22 fighter ($154 million each) every hour of every day, with $252 billion a year left over for fuel and maintaince.  No big deal, just tax the rich!

Ya know what's extreme?  $1.65 Trillion in annual deficits.  That's extreme.
If I could just hear a repub say that, it would be a start.

When I worked in the cage at a Las Vegas casino, I had to sign for over $10 million in cash and chips at the beginning of every shift.  I was totally responsible for it.  When I tell people here in OK about that experience, they marvel at what it would be like to be surrounded by $10 million in cash.  What happened was something I never expected would happen.  Money became just a product, like produce is to a grocer.  No more no less. 

I think the same thing happens to congress people when they are constantly dealing with hundreds of billions of dollars on a daily basis.  It becomes just another addendum to the job.  They shift it around like so much paperwork on their desks, not really realizing the enormity of the amounts.

I'm saying this not as an excuse for their irresponsible fiscal behaviour.  At the end of every shift I had to account for every bit of that $10 million to within $3.  With congress, we, the people, haven't been demanding close responsibility for all that cash for almost five decades if not longer.  No wonder much of it is being stolen.

You roll into a high-profile budget speech where you know they're going to lie like mad (e.g. Harry Reid/Pelosi).  You grab them by the scruff of the neck, hoist them up off the ground, take over the mic and explain why the shitbag is lying.

You do your 30 days for assault and then come back to become President.

If that representative that stood up in the house and yelled "Liar!" had any balls he'd be starting his presidential campaign right now.  But he didn't and I can't even remember his name.

184 If the Repubs don't take a stand on the budget this year, you better be planting a BIIG garden.  (Stocking up on canning equipment, ammo and reloading supplies might not be a bad idea either).

I foresee several problems RE the budget:

(1) It's a consensus document, which means it has to please appropriators. However, appropriators must stay bought to keep selling the party line.

(2) After 4mos., the leadership finally agreed to address entitlements. Ever since, the moderate and liberal Rs have been sending messages through their lackeys that indicate they're "concerned". They will run at the first sign of trouble.

(3) With the exception of Hensarling, the top 5 in the leadership don't have much of a backbone and are in politics for themselves.

(4) Then you have individuals like Rep. Jordan, who have a small clique of lawmakers who they find pure enough. They will spend more time attacking their own side than in supporting even modest efforts to reform programs within mandatory spending.

Ultimately, they will spend more time engaging in a circular firing squad than they will in actually trying to accomplish something.

Hire some fucking ex-military guys to develop a war fighting strategy for them. Because this is a fucking war and for the Democrats it always has been. Problem is the stupid ass republicans can't seem to understand this and are regularly surprised when they get their asses handed to them. They don't seem to understand that the only reason that the Democrats don't actually cut their throats is because it isn't yet legal to do this. These ex-military guys can then develop communications strategies to use in a hostile environment. The number one, first priority is to speak with one voice. Develop a message and repeat it. Every time any Republican gets a microphone shoved in his face he/she repeats the message because repetition is everything. The media will try to diffuse it or mute it or omit it but if everyone is disciplined the message will get through. And label democrats as extremists every chance you get. It works for them, it'll work for us - especially because when we say it - it's true. Like Maximus said in Gladiator "If we work together, if we stay together, We Survive. We Stay Alive".

Just some thoughts....

316 ...Just some thoughts....

Excellent ideas and I wish they would use them. Too bad they regard this as a university debate over policy. Also a shame that internal disagreement keeps hampering efforts to reduce spending. If the conservative Republicans in the House could actually agree on how to best achieve their goals, they might actually get somewhere.

CSPAN re-playing a presser about Schumer's remarks. The entire leadership team is there. Cantor says that Reid has left himself in a place where he can either cut spending or raise taxes, and Reid won't commit to either. McCarthy says Reid and Schumer are placing politics before people and that the Senate Dems can't choose their leader.

Hensarling made the point about the deficit and debt being extreme.

I had a big blow with the bosses today. Sorry mother fuckas don't give a shit.

@325: "If the conservative Republicans in the House could actually agree on how to best achieve their goals, they might actually get somewhere."

It would also be nice if the goal was something a bit further Right than Better-Managed-Socialism.

I said conservatives, not the Republicans. The freshmen and RSC members have great potential to actually do something conservative and they are too busy yelling at each other and preening for 2012. It would be nice if they took all that energy and used it to fight Obama's socialist policies.

What constitutes doing, by your definition? If we're going to measure by how much they've accomplished between both houses of Congress in getting bills passes, they are sadly lacking. We have members twisting themselves into pretzels about how they voted on certain bills; not to mention numerous symbolic votes, i.e. fiscal hawk John Campbell's refusal to vote against H.R. 839. His excuse will likely be that the bill was not good enough or some such nonsense.
