Wayne LaPierre:<br />1.It's President Obama's fault because he cut some defense spending measures for school in the budget.<br /><br />2. It's the movie & video game industry fault<br />3.It's the fault of the mentally ill <br />4. Schools fault for not arming their faculty<br />5. No mention of the high capacity ammo clips or assault weapons.<br /><br />The NRA will fund a National School Safety and Shield school to train those who plant an armed person at every school in America.<br /><br /><br />The gun manufactures,gun lobbies,gun shows, and survivalists will applaud their efforts.<br /><br />It's funny how he wants government to pay for arming every school in America but that's not seen as politicizing or spending. <br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-42308811368413919432012-12-21T09:59:41.689-06:002012-12-21T09:59:41.689-06:00I rarely agree with Speaker Boehner, but I got to ...I rarely agree with Speaker Boehner, but I got to see what he is up against. It’s like trying to compromise with a rock. <br /> <br />Representative Tim Huelshamp(R-KA) was a guest on Morning Joe to give his reason he voted against Plan B… he said he won’t vote for any tax increase because we have a spending problem. He also said he’s optimistic that a deal will be made. He thinks the Democrats will roll over to his demands. He’s not there for the benefit of the country; he only represents the wishes of his district. <br /><br />I can’t believe the GOP is so weak and controlled by the NRA that they won’t state their position on the assault weapon and high-capacity ammo clip ban until after the NRA makes an announcement this morning.<br /><br />Rep. Huelskamp, said the president is politicizing the horrible event in Connecticut to pass gun control measures. <br /><br />What’s left? John Boehner said he’s through with negotiations so now it’s in the hands of the Senate Democrats and the president. The president can now take back all the goodies he offered Boehner and then tell Boehner to find 25-27 Republicans to vote with the entire democratic caucus to pass his tax cut for those making more than $250,000 and rely on the sequester cuts, which will hurt the Defense Dept. the most.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-12928254438297607702012-12-20T20:37:05.626-06:002012-12-20T20:37:05.626-06:00I think they want to go over the cliff and then st...I think they want to go over the cliff and then start from there.

So if nothing gets done will everyone have until 4-15-13 to prepare or will the government printing office be in over drive to print new forms for 2012?<br /><br /> Will the spending cuts go into effect starting 1-1-13, I assume, and the tax increase on 2013 income?<br /><br /> If so, then the cuts start and there is another 12 months to squabble over tax rates.

They didn't learn a danged thing with this election. The Liberals will not get blamed for going over the cliff, the GOP will still get the blame.<br />Boehner needs to grow some balls and do what's best for this Country, or face the consequences. <br />I understand that his job is on the line, but that shouldn't be an issue with something this important.born2Bmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089087764341576162noreply@blogger.com
