My solution is easy. I figure my tax hike pretty much equivalent to the amount of money I throw in the trash on PACs and candidates (I stopped donating to the GOP itself years ago). I am getting out of the money/politics game totally. I have never gotten a single favor or dime of new business or government benefit as a result of my donations anyway. So add the tax hikes and take away the money I’ve been wasting and it is pretty much a break even.

The Republican Party committed suicide last night, they just don’t know it yet.

My wife and I just filed our change of party affiliation document.

Paul Ryan may have a ‘great mind’, but he has NO GUTS!!!

He’s more concerned about what ‘image’ than ‘core beliefs’, another ‘Boehner’.

Eric Cantor, although he voted “No”, I suspect it has more to do with ‘Palace positioning’ and ‘smelling the air’ on seeing that Boehner’s head is about to roll, than standing up for ‘conviction’.

POLITICO | on Tue, Jan 1, 11:20 PM

The Republican House leadership split its vote late Tuesday night on the fiscal cliff deal that received bipartisan support in both chambers before heading to the president. Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) voted in favor of the measure. But Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) voted against the legislation, as did Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam (Ill.). House Budget Committee Chairman

Does Peter Roskam’s future include speaker’s job?

Even Krauthhammer calls the bill a complete surrender (by the Republicans).

OBAMA WON!

Increases are some 41 to 1 over cuts.

OBAMA WON!

Pubblies folded. That is what they do. It is their nature. They can’t help it. They just want to be liked by the Dems.

This ignores the basic problem. The Dem party has devolved into a group that will do anything — anything — to win, including fraud, threats, physical violence, perjury, cheating, theft, gangsterism, and allegedly murder. No matter what form the new opposition to them takes as a result of the suicide of the Republican Party, are we conservatives willing to use the Dems’ tactics against them to level the playing field? It seems to me that our own constitutional characteristics put us at a permanent disadvantage compared to the tactics Obama joyfully uses, with the drooling approval of the Rancid Press.

What are we willing to do to win?

If you have a Republican Party membership card, send it to the RNC with a tea bag attached.

There is no changing the GOP. It’s nothing more than the Other Democrat Party. Stop supporting the beast! Just quit the Party.

Californians: You can go to https://rtv.sos.ca.gov/elections/register-to-vote/ to change your party affiliation online. Ain’t technology wonderful?

It will be interesting to see if the GOP cares how many conservatives flee from it.

I’m looking at the last election and the general conservative consensus about Romney was decidedly negative. Yet he seemed to have no shortage of support from Republicans (not necessarily conservatives) in the primaries. Then consider how firmly entrenched Boehner/McConnell are.

So, it occurs to me that there are likely more “republicans” than “conservatives” — and my impression is that no matter how many “conservatives” flee the GOP, I’m not so sure they will miss us and may even be glad to see us go.

Now for the Debt Limit fight!

The GOP holds ALL the cards in the Debt Limit fight. If we agree that the country is doomed if we follow Obozo's current policies, how much more doomed can we be if he is stopped from borrowing one more cent.

The fact that he has already started saying that he won't negotiate over the Limit makes me think that (1) he'knows' he will win the fight, and (2) he will be using the Chicago Way to make it happen. Who is in the photo that he has got? The GOP needs to use the same tactics right back at him and start the campaign now, saying that they WILL NOT RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT under any circumstances, spending reductions or not.

Republicans are stuck. The result is ... we appear to take a ‘pea shooter’ to a gun fight. Very ineffective. It is sad really. Let us join the tea party, it has a honest conservative direction. Sarah Palin has the moxie to face down the crooks among us, where ever they are! Unite not scatter ineffectually.

Heavenly Father ... nothing is impossible for thee, we read that David (a boy) chose 5 smooth stones, and he felled the giant Goliath. Give us some of David's intelligence and fearlessness. He yielded not to those mocking him and HE TRUSTED the LORD and his own ability honed by killing a bear and a lion while tending his sheep.

We seem to be cowards through and through and of little faith or even no faith. Forgive us Father, lead us in the path that is pleasing to thee, forgive us our offenses, we thank thee for grace and blessing, in Jesus name we pray. amen.

And what do we do ... shoot our self in the foot over and over.

Looks like you’re going to have to prepare to change your screen name.
