Memo To GOP: Take The Budget Deal!!

 The budget agreement hashed out by Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Patti Murray is getting a not so happy greeting by either political party. House Speaker John Boehner is telling his troops to stop complaining and pass the deal. Conservative and Tea Party advocates are calling it a surrender since $60 million plus in sequester cuts are essentially repealed. Boehner says the plan

means more cuts over the next decade, some $84 million. There are those who are skeptical of that. Democrats are known for promising "down the road" cuts in spending, taxes, etc. but never come through. Tea Party favorite and possible presidential candidate, Senator Rand Paul has jumped on that.

Democrats, though, are also leery of this deal. Click the think to find out why House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is telling her minions to "Embrace The Suck!"  (never a dull moment with that woman).

Despite Republican/conservative disdain for the deal, they need to take it. Here's why. Without a deal the government will go into another shutdown the middle of January (guess who will get the blame..again). After the usual continuing resolution is adopted and the government reopens, we trudge along until the next deadline comes, which will be in September, 2014. That's a crucial period

being just two months away from the mid-term elections and the Republicans don't need to be embroiled in another shutdown scare then. The Democrats and the media would like nothing more as it would take the attention off Obamacare. They are running scared because they know that it's the one issue they can't win. The GOP needs no other distractions.
Besides, Paul Ryan says at the moment this is the best deal they're going to get. Senator Harry "Dirty Tricks"
Reid is not going to bring any other bill up for a vote and Obama has the veto pen. 

So, get on with it, pass the damn thing, get it off the table and concentrate on dropping the Obamacare bomb on the elections. Once Republicans retain the House and win the Senate, they can move forward. Reid will be a has been and Obama will be forced to moderate his hard core politics if he wants any of his agenda passed before he's put out to pasture in 2016.
