How about some proof other than bob's words for what you say? Oh well, bob, your group lost and had to take their toys and run home to mama. What will you people do when our military is unable to keep your rights to speak your mind no longer?
Proof is generally the burden of the Claimant. But here is story you can scan.
Too funny the hapless lefties won't believe anything until it is in the HufPo.
I prefer Fox News myself.
So what did happen...
Two days after Republicans on the so-called super committee, led by Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, offered a $1.5 trillion package that included, for the first time, new tax revenue to the tune of about $300 billion, Democrats are rejecting the offer.
"We have a big gap with respect to where we are on revenue," panel Democrat John Kerry told a handful of reporters Wednesday morning. "The Toomey approach will not work. We've told them that very directly. We have to find a different way to come at it."
We spend more money on defense now than when we were in the "Cold War" with the Soviet Union.
The most we have to worry about is a handful of alledged terrorist running around in the mountains half way around the world.
Considering Obama walked out on the debt ceiling talks, and Democrats have even fled states to avoid voting, I find this posting histerical.
pghquest !!! ... On The Money !
Indeed it is acutely histerical ! ..... Seemingly this bunch of simpletons are only competent at beeachin and whining and are totally clueless when it comes to any effective work regarding their elected offices !!!
The ole looney blame someone else and blow the taxpayers money away liberals are without doubt totally the ultimate disaster for America !!!

The Dems simply will not accept any entitlement cuts, they refuse to compromise. They want all the revenue shortfall made up by tax increases. It isn't a winning position. The Republicans are outmaneuvering the Dems, and they are unhappy, hence they run from negotiations.
They can no longer claim the Republicans refuse to move on the revenue side. They are in a box.
That story makes the Democrats sound like whiney little babies.. Waaa, waaa, I want it my way
Tell me Mr Bob.. Why are we to believe they are sitting at the table waiting for the GOP to cave into demands?
I believe the process is called negotiations. The Repubs again offered up big tax cuts to a few their friends, since that has been long proven to be ineffective, the Dems rejected it. The back and forth continues.

Try again. The dems have had huge cuts on the table since day one. The right as usual will not cut one penny from their outrageous tax cuts to the rich and handouts to their corporate cronies.

So instead of talking differences out at the meeting they walk out? That is pretty 9 year old behavior. Do you think that they planned to do this all along? I have been amazed that they didn't do it long ago since they never intended to do anything in a bi-partisan way.
This thing was nothing but a farce from the beginning and the Dems proved that there is no way to do anything in a bi-partisan manner. Now lets listen to Obama whine and howl about how the 6 Republicans caused their 6 Dem "friends" to walk out. Yep, it is the GOP who are the obstructionists since they offered a $30 billion increase in taxes for 10 years.
Pick up your ball and run home crying about the bad guys wanting to play but not by your rules. Poor kids.
