Fiscal Cliff Deal–The Sad Truth –Judge Andrew Napolitano
(CNS News) Democrat-Socialist/Progressive controlled Senate voted 88-9 to approve the Fiscal Cliff boondoggle which they had all but three minutes to read, before paving the way to add $4 Trillion to our out of control federal budget deficit.
The GOP House of Representatives violated their pledge to voters to make the bill available to the public for three days before it would be voted on.
Republicans promise…that they will be principled (next time) and will keep their pledge to reign in spending when the debt ceiling showdown takes place next month.

Obama’s Fiscal Cliff –Barracuda Brigade Girl
(Townhall) While most of the Dinosaur Media accounts of the fiscal cliff chaos have focused on Republicans few have adequately noted Democrats starring role in our current dysfunction.
A pre-Christmas Wall Street Journal article walks readers through the failed negotiations and two recurring themes are woven throughout: (1) Obama has zero interest in meaningful concessions on his end; (2) Obama is supremely confident in his ability to stick Republicans with the blame if the nations economy slides off the cliff.

Excuses, Excuses and More Excuses–Obama Blames Voters For Not Understanding
Democrats were dumped due to their economic missteps and failures–What voters seem to care most about is economic recovery and returning people to work.
Limiting the size of government and reducing spending are never easy, in 1994 when the GOP took over Congress they promised to eliminate some 90 superfluous federal agencies but by 2000 those agencies were still in place and most had seen their budgets doubled.
Republicans are on Probation and they too may be booted out of office in 2012 if they lose their way by compromising on Conservative principles and not keep their promises made.
