He called it “deja vu all over again” and ripped President Barack Obama for keeping himself above the fray and painting himself as a Washington outsider “even though it was his idea.” “Here we get worked up over $44 billion – that’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that was scheduled to be spent this year,” Limbaugh said. “And in truth we’re going to spend more this year than we spent last year. We’re just not going to spend as much as projected. It’s all baseline budgeting. There is no real cut below a baseline of zero. There just isn’t. And yet here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here. Fear there. Crisis. Destruction. No meat inspection. No cops. No teachers. No firefighters. No air traffic control. “I’m sorry, my days of getting roped into all of this are over. We have the media play along with all of this, the ruling class – both parties – play along with all of this,” he continued. “It’s insulting. I don’t know how else to describe it.”

And I hope they cause so much damage by not compromising that our coalition decimates them. By building a solid coalition of everyone who dislikes conservatives over time we can make them pay for their evil.
anomalocaris 21-Feb-13, 16:54	By not compromising you mean not doing everthing they are told?
dmaestro 21-Feb-13, 17:02	No they want to impose Austrian economics and austerity on the rest of us and relish conflict. They want the annihilation of all who oppose them. They must be incessantly exposed and criticized.
dmaestro 21-Feb-13, 17:11	The day will come when the tea party is so despised that it will be an epithet like calling someone and nazi or skinhead. We will defeat those evil Kochs trying to destroy the government so they can pillage, and their tea party minions to the point where the Kochs leave the country.
chess4him 21-Feb-13, 17:28	The spin stops here... Sequestration was a white house idea. A result of the failed group that met throughout last summer (or the summer before...my years run together   to come up with an idea or agreement to cut the deficit. The White house suggested this "sequestration". It was congress, both democrats and republicans who voted for this idea and sent it to the White house for a signature, which was signed by the President into law. Everyone has a hand in the spending debacle... No one party can except the blame. No one party can throw the blame at another. Here is where finger pointing may thrive........ The American people believe there is a spending problem...76%. The White house and congress believe there is also a revenue problem as well. Getting the two to agree on solutions is a problem.
dmaestro 21-Feb-13, 17:47	True but sequestration was proposed and agreed upon as a last resort to force action. It was never intended to happen, both sides agreed then. But it will. Primarily because tea party opposition to any revenue increases is unacceptable blackmail. You don't pay blackmail.
chess4him 21-Feb-13, 18:20	True but....True This is simply (sounds too easy) a confrontation between spending cuts or revenue increases. no different then any family facing economic hardship. "Can I get a raise, or do I need to cut some spending". Hubby and Little Miss can't agree on the right choice and neither have the talent to compromise. Thank God we have two parties that beg working together.
