Reply #14: Here's what my teaparty rep. said just today on Facebook: [View All]

"If given the chance to cut $2.7 trillion with Harry Reid leading the Senate and Barak Obama in the White House, count me in."

Three days ago, he had said this:

"I will not support any increase in the federal debt limit unless it is paired with significant spending reductions, enforceable caps in the amount the government can spend going forward, and the addition of a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution."

That 2.7 trillion is the Reid Plan and how I read it, he's now willing to vote for it if it were to come up in the House. My guess is what happened in three days was that he got alot of calls from citizens in his district letting him know that standing firm on the "Cut, Cap, and Balance Pledge" was unacceptable.
