Schumer: Revised Boehner Bill Is “Absurd”…
(ABC News) — After meeting with his caucus today for nearly two hours, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, D-NV., declared, “the only compromise that there is — is mine” and blasted the latest Boehner bill that will be voted on in the House later today.
“It’s being jammed through that with all kinds of nontransparent dealings,” Reid said to reporters at the Ohio Clock today, “They’ve basically given the right wing even more than what they had before.”
Senator Schumer, D-NY., called the revised Boehner debt plan an “absurd proposition.”
“To get his conservatives back on the reservation at this point, he’s adding all kinds of poison pills to his plan,” Schumer said, “His new plan requiring that each house of Congress not vote on, but pass, a balanced budget amendment before any debt ceiling is raised will guarantee a default.”
Reid said that his door is still open to McConnell to sit down and negotiate this afternoon — and that he already has some Republican ideas that he wants to add in to make it more acceptable tonight when he files cloture on his offer. The Majority Leader added that he has not taken his eyes off the McConnell fall back proposal, a hint that the final product could very well includes elements of McConnell’s “last choice” option.”
But Democratic leadership, and Reid says his whole caucus, is remaining firm: “there will be no agreement if it’s a short-term extension.”

If that dickhead isn’t the face of the Democrats in every Republican commercial, I give up.
“It’s being jammed through that with all kinds of nontransparent dealings,” whines Dingy Harry.
Oh, that is rich, kinda reminds me of he11care. Pass it to find out whats in it. lmao.
Yeah Chucky.
Let’s worry about getting more buckets and towels and such and then we’ll fix the hole in the dyke.
Brill-fucking-iant.
I have a perfect use for that face.
That schmuck is running Harry the mental patient so keep a close eye on the target (so to speak).
Everytime I see a picture of this tool I have the urge to backhand his puss and knock that fucking smirk right off his commie face. What in God’s name would drive someone to vote for this jackass?
Pompous royalist jack-ass
Tar and feathers are too good for this creep.
Up-Chuck is the definition of ‘Absurd’
What’s totally absurd is Boehner even offering another bill…wouldn’t matter if patterned the dem bill they want, Reid and Crew would Kill it.
I’ve had my fill of many of them…they’re all beyond ‘absurd’…and I’m putting that politely.
Chuck-you says, in essense, Chuck-you!
I think the one who will end up with a case of the Barney Franks will be you, Chucky.
Sorry, essence not ‘essense’.
Talk about Absurd Chucky, just look in the f#*king mirror you socialist pig bastard.
The Republican ad for 2012: shows Obama, Reid, Schumer,and Pelosi…all claiming it’s absurd and extreme for the Federal Government to live within its means. Balancing a budget is only for the regular dumb fucking taxpayers, we the Democrats, must never be required to do the same.
There must be something very strange in the water supply in DC. These assholes are totally insane and out of touch with reality.
The next time a waiter brings them a bill, Democrats should should call the guy a “right-wing extremist” and see how well it goes over.
So vote it down & let’s get on with it.
Let’s see your hand Yamaka!
I hate Democrats. This has been their plan all along. Make the Republicans come up with budgets and bash them repeatedly. Somebody in the Republican party had better step up and do something about these Democrats before they destroy America.
How in the world can any American ignore such a huge problem just to score political points? I hate Democrats, and you Republicans on moving up the list! Get your crap together!
I would go back to Cut Cap and Balance, tweak it a bit and send it back to the Senate. Otherwise, shut the government down….
I Agree Bohner’s bill in Absurd. It’s not enough in so many ways.
Wiener Senior is pure hack.
What a country! Only in America can a fucking ignoramus become the senior U.S. Senator from NY.
Government shut down now! From now until Christmas.
NEWS FLASH : Apple has more $$ than the Federal Government… http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/apple-more-money-federal-government-163023405.html
Ehhh… I wonder if Fearless Leader might be thinking of Nationalizing Apple as a Government Corporation so that he can tap into those bank accounts? (heh heh heh)
Chuckles is the poster boy for the Oleaginous Scum Foundation of NYC…
Gimme a Break said:

Damn, I’ll second that!
I don’t think all the democRats in Congress have as many brain cells as a two year old.
Boehner bill passes the House, 218-210. Dems have no choice now but to pass it or the meltdown is 100% on Obama.
Just as in the case of Obama-care “Bush’s Fault” seems to be using the negotiation tactic of shortness of time to pressure opponents. What is likely to happen just before the clock runs out is “Bush’s fault” will finally release his plan and again the Republicans will have to vote for it to find out what’s in it.
What stinks in here? Ewww, someone stepped in Schumer!
This piece of shit has no business in congress or anywhere else in government, he needs a major ass kicking right the 3@ck back to hell where he came from!
Hall of fame caliber POS. He’s the poster child for the BS in Washington. Never had an original thought. Never will. The sheep just keep bleeting…
