Will Speaker Boehner aka "Crybaby" listen to/heed Judge Napolitano? I hope so! It just might further the Speaker's career if he does. If Speaker Boehner doesn't comprehend/heed the Judge's message, may this be the last term he serves, period.

We need representation which is honest and ‘as the crow flies’... so to speak.

Voters were emphatic and unambiguous in the last election. The people we send to DC to represent us must be AT LEAST as emphatic and unambiguous as the people who sent them there.

.............I did not know Napolitano supported homo marriage..............!! I will add that to the list of positions he takes that I don’t like!

Notwithstanding that though, he is dead on right about the biggest crisis in our lives...........! I think this debt bomb rates right up there with the Cuban Missile Crisis in terms of potential damage to this country! And, Barrack Obama ain’t no John Kennedy!! Before I get flamed for that comment, I’m just saying that the Kennedy(s) got that (the Cuban Missile Crisis) right!

I’m nearing 65 and don’t need SS and won’t bother to apply for it. But, the irony is that paper money is about to be so worthless that the 70 odd million who depend on it won’t be able to buy a loaf of bread with their SS check! THIS IS FACT!!!...... and tens of millions of Americans just don’t even begin to understand this FACT!!......due to our rotten to the core press!

And, BO has been on my TV screen now for going on an hour on mute! Can’t stand to listen to him or the liberal reporters asking him stupid questions and receiving his non answers.

The Judge hit the nail right on the head. No to debt increase. No need to. Goverment revenue is high enough to pay the interest on current debt and still function cutting basically nothing. No matter what Boehner does the House should stand firm and oppose any debt increase. Boehner better realize that if he does increase the debt our next conservative President will spank the crybaby and he will be history.

OK, so you don’t agree 100% with Napolitano. I don’t either (his statement about Harry Truman as a “war criminal” shows an appalling ignorance of WW2 history). But your point and mine are totally irrelevant to the issue.

The issue of the day isn’t gay marriage or the end of WW2. It’s the catastrophic dysfunctional fiscal policies of the Federal Government of the United States. And on that issue, I am in complete agreement with Napolitano. Or maybe I should say he is in agreement with me.

Are you?

CONTACT BOEHNER HERE

http://www.speaker.gov/Contact/

Tell him to grow a pair, or resign and give the job to someone with bigger balls than him- like Michelle Bachman
If he caves he is helping fund his own destruction.

IF ANY OF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO SPEND 2 MINUTES TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW GOD HELP US ALL~!

So we should drive our grandkids into debt because homos might get married. “If queers can marry its the apocalypse so who cares how screwed up the economy gets!”

"napolitano supports homossexual marriage

Really, wow, that's bad. I like the Judge but he often makes mistakes, but this is not one of those times.

The primary duty of the House is to control spending, so House CONTROL SPENDING!

“So we should drive our grandkids into debt because homos might get married. “If queers can marry its the apocalypse so who cares how screwed up the economy gets!””

Which is why I feel more and more comfortable describing myself as a pro-life, pro-defense libertarian than a conservative. I don’t understand why the government is even involved with defining marriage. It’s a sacrament defined by God, not Caesar. If the power to tax is the power to destroy, why, for all that is holy, would you ever want the state licensing and taxing a sacrament????

It *is* the governments job to provide for the common defense and pay its freaking bills and keep its budget squared away. Besides protecting the border, defending the country, settling disputes between states, the less they do the BETTER.

These ideological giants will be pointing fingers at each other shouting who Jesus would vote for while the Chinese walk away with everything we own.

Hey! The house is freaking on fire! Stop dusting the china and put the fire out!

.
An important issue of the day that has been ignored ever since 9/11/2001 is the rapid encroachment of Islam on our society.

If or when Islam takes over, we won’t have to worry about balancing budgets, gay marriage and freedom of religion — they will all be superfluous issues.

Sorry for bringing this up — go back to sleep America.

Oh, that’s a gut issue isn’t it! The country is going down the toilet economically and you diss the Judge for this? You are dumber than DS! I guess you also don’t like Chris Christie either. I don’t like homosexual marriage any more than youy do, but at least I am enough of a realist to recognize that is isn’t the compelling issue today.

napolitano has a list of issues that would disqualify him from being anything more than in the same class as jeffry toobin.

chill and focus on the issues personal attacks belittle FR.

I was shocked when he was congratulating some judge on the pro-homo ruling.

As for this crisis we now have every fringe commentator on the networks making “i know it all” recomendations.

I am much more interested in teaching these spineless republicans and short bus senators how to negotiate for victory.

It is an expense we do not need to suffer. Either nationally or militarily. Call that a loophole that should be shut.

Napolitano should not be barking orders like a toothless dog, he should be exposing the senators, congressmen, and MSM reporters who are complicit in surrendering to the communist in chief.
