4. So, there's no deal?
I thought there was a deal. Gad, this has got to be hell for the American public. People are legitimately scared and these damned repubs wanna play hot potato.

8. If all the democrats sign on
they don't need the republicans. The pres is going to sign the bill. But if they want it to be bi-partisan, they need the pub votes and that's why they're using mccain as a prop - this is merely a show to help his campaign.

Went from the McCain campaign talking about how he saved the day and was meeting with Boehner right now and then the announcement that it is not a done deal. Guess the media didn't let McSame get all the credit for saving the day so now they are going to throw a wrench in it. Wonder if McSame is throwing a temper tantrum cause they won't let him play hero of the day. :nuke: Oh lest we forget, if they settle it too early McSame will have to show up to debate.

6. This is all part of the show.
McLiar has not been in DC long enough to have realistically impacted the success of this bill yet. The only way to give him the time and to give him the stage on which to really prove his worth to this is to have the pukes claim that there is no deal yet.

Once McLiar has time to dance through the halls on the hill and appear to have had enough time to "influence" his puke colleagues, their entire tune will begin to change, and McLiar will be hailed as having put everything on the line in a presidential election to save the resolution and passing of this bill.

The crux may likely come at the WH this afternoon when Obama, the congressional heads, Chimpy, and the Liar all convene. It will be the meeting the Liar called on Chimp to hold, and it will be his influence that really drove this bill to passing and implementation.

It is all too clearly a tactic and nothing more from the pukes. They are giving their chief Liar everything he needs to succeed in this one and to legitimize his ridiculous decision to suspend his campaign and drop politics for the greater good of the country. Such utter fucking bullshit.

The real question now is, when will this actually be agreed upon and signed? Will it be forced through tomorrow late afternoon and evening so as to postpone the debates, or will it happen on Saturday so that the debates that absolutely should continue will do so? I'm skeptical on this one. Something tells me the debate commission will cave and cancel if McLiar plans on being a no-show, even though Obama has said he would conduct a town-hall or one-on-one with Leher tomorrow night.

Obama needs to get his surrogates out NOW talking about how this deal was already far into the resolution stages before that ass-fuck Liar decided to suspend his Lie Fest of a campaign.
