After all that dog and pony show they put up for the debt-ceiling, now they're getting ready to stop the automatic cuts? :lol

Pathetic stuff right there.

“I almost did not vote for the debt deal because of the sequestration that so disproportionately targets the Department of Defense,” said Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine. “I think it is a huge problem.

Susan Collins doesn't know what the word proportionate means.

Well Perry says he wanted to build more planes and ships. Hes a pretty smart guy.

BTW the sequestarian bill which has to be changed to not go into effect calls for $600b to defense and $600b to 'entittlements.' No way that medicare/ss gets allowed to take that hit with this electorate.

We are probably going to see a lot of incumbents get punted but the sad thing is it'll be just from the same two sources woo fucking hoo.
