Election Results, 2014: An indication of vindication.
Wow - that is amazing!
Libs are like cockroaches. They never really go away.
A++++
Excellent! Then again, we sure have a lot to work with. :)
I love how they are called all of them flawed candidates, now that they have lost. It was a flawed platform from a flawed ideology that did them in.
How did are get in that sentence? Typing faster than I can read obviously.
Thank you!
Are you listening to bammer??? He must really have been advised that he is in the crapper if he doesn’t change his tune - he is praising republicans. lol but he just claimed congress passed a budget earlier this year? That isn’t right is it?
I cannot listen to him. Even if he were announcing the PowerBall numbers and I had every one. I’ll read the transcript
Later.
He is looking forward to working with us.... lol
If you consider continuing resolutions to be budgets.
Not a damn person in his audience disputed his statement - just a lie. talking immigration - claiming he doesn’t want to use exec order but will if repubs don’t do something
Great. We need Cruz as majority leader.
Agreed. wow - Jonathan Carl (not sure of spelling) - just said pres has only met with Boehner a few times in 6 years. He did NOT like that question
Huh. No reason to meet now, either. Obama is irrelevant.
As much as Obama hates Boehner, he would hate Cruz more. I want Gowdy and Cruz. Boehner and McConnell can step aside.
When dems win, it’s a mandate. When we win, we must compromise. (My new tag line.)
Excellent
I agree
To quote Obama, WE WON.
Wonderful!
That whole Psalm seems appropriate somehow, with all that the “gays”, obamacrats, and muslims have been doing to us this election cycle, and all the persecution and war visited on our Orthodox Brothers and Sisters in so many parts of the world.
