Republican House vs. Democratic Senate - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian - US Live: Reports the following from the Hill, " Senate majority leader Harry Reid spiked a sudden effort by House Republicans Tuesday morning to get back in the dealmaking game with a new legislative pitch. "They're attempting to torpedo us," Reid said. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Republican House should stick together, it is accepted if not by Democrats that the Republicans will hold the House next year after the 2014 Mid Terms, the one person that needs a legacy is President Obama, does he want to be the President that pushes the US over in to default, it would be the Obama default, does any one recall the name of the US House Speaker during the term of Hoover or FDR, its always the Presidents who either get the credit or blames if the US economy falls apart, thus the Republicans need to hold their nerve, and push hard, make it VERY clear to the Oval, either deal or your political agenda is DOA in the House, no matter what, if the Oval comes up with a solution to the all the problems of the World, the House will say GET LOST.   The Republicans should make it VERY frosty for President Obama, after 2014 he does not matter, its the Presidential cycle, and Democrats IF they find that Obama is big NEGATIVE, will  dump on him so fast, it will make the Windy City look like a sunny place for a holiday.   Thus Republicans HOLD THE LINE. 

Obama NO to House Plan - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports the following from the White House, " ..has rejected a proposal from House of Representatives Republicans to extend the debt limit and reopen the federal government. 

".

Lets Get Real: 

The Republicans in the House want those elected to run the US Government to come under ObamaCare, not get of jail clauses, what an affront to democracy, those that have passed laws should have to live under them, it shows how out of control the Democrats are, they want special favours for the US political elite, while the Main street gets shafted AGAIN, just like when the Banks stole all the money in 2008.    This blog was opposed to Western Governments coming to the rescue of the banks, has any one gone to jail folks, like hell.   The Republicans should wait in till 16th of October, around Midnight of the 17th and pass their bill, if the Democrats want to default, so let it be, it will be THE Obama default, does have a ring to it folks.   A half way house would be the Senate Bill, opens the Government up and rises the debt ceiling, but all that does is get you through the holiday season, then back to close down and the debt ceiling, what this blog would give for another Reagan at this moment folks, those glory days of the 80s folks. 

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a UK Soldier was killed in combat today in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the " 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare) ".  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 445 of its Armed Forces Personnel due to combat and other incidents.    

Lets Get Real: 

Folks WHY are we still losing brave members of our Armed Forces in a War we are getting OUT off, what is the point, by the end of the next year we should be out of Afghanistan AGAIN, we should cut our loses  and leave Afghanistan to the US and its future plans.    Our forces will do the job they have been sent out to do, but it can be argued that the Coalition Government should have a duty of CARE, we are walking off the pitch next year, it can be postulated that Afghanistan within six months will back in to a state of Civil War, the Afghanistan Taliban will use the leaving of Western troops as a PR for their course, when Kabul falls to the Taliban, is the US ready for another Southern Vietnam 1975,  who wants to see US helicopters getting the last US diplomats and allies out of Afghanistan.   At the end of the day folks, Afghanistan and Iraq was a disaster for the West, what have we gained, NOTHING, and the result, Western Armed forces are tired and Western voters wish they had never heard of Iraq or Afghanistan, our military and political leadership from the Generals to the Political elite have shown that they were donkeys leading lions.
