5. Kyl and other repigs already talking about the workaround for defense spending

and I have little doubt the Dems in the Sen. (the usual suspects) will go along with them.

That will leave only the cuts to the rest of the budget in-place.

I think that's the Republican game-plan.

4. I care deeply, and so should you.
Failure, in this case, is the best possible outcome.

7. Yes it is.
But then we have to wonder what will happen next. I don't believe they'll go through with the military spending cuts that are supposed to occur if the Supercommittee fails to reach a consensus. Hope they do, though.

9. Recall every one of the useless bastards. They are not fit to serve in a Super Walmart, much less a
Super Committee.

11. No
And I strongly suggest telling our Senators to filibuster ANY attempt to interfere with the mandated defense cuts.
