Midknight Review -- new and revised: Finally, someone hits the nail on the head. Boehner says,"The system itself favors spending and needs to be reformed." No one else is saying this.

Boehner: House rules make spending too easy, cuts difficult — House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will say House budget rules should be reformed to curb federal spending in an address at a conservative think-tank Friday. — The top-ranking House Republican will outline …

Editor's notes: can anyone think of anything that could be more critical to the concerns of the vast majority of Americans than this. It comes as a surprise to this editor, and what a pleasant surprise. Over the past 21 months, many of us have become students of the political process, for the first time. One thing most of us would agree to is this notion: the more we know , the more we realize that we don't know.

With the words of Boehner, above, it suddenly hits us between the eyes : the very structure of the congressional process favors continuing spending. This editor is no more a Republican than he is a Democrat. I watch with a certain concerned detachment. Because of the Boehner's (pronounced "Bay-ner) comment, I must say this:

I would vote Republican in the coming campaign because of the news embedded in the above headlined story, if for no other reason. If he is not serious, he is gone in two years, but, to my knowledge, Boehner is the first and only Congressional figure in either party making such a statement.

Good for him. Hope he is serious. Boehner will have more to say on this later today. Look for our update.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
