So the votes for (R)’s for the House race are already made mute, is that what happened today?

What person in their right mind gives away their only bargaining chip at the time in which they possess the most power? Boehner could have easily said he will work with the Prez blah blah and that he hopes the Prez will be willing to work with us. The message being that Republicans may have been defeated when it comes to the Presidency but won the House.

we need to think how we can force a leadership change. Boehner is unacceptable and must be taken down. Just let the Bush tax cuts expire, let auto spending cuts go into effect. Just do nothing and let Obama own the mess.

When you lose, you lose. Boehner is in an impossible political situation.

Bullshit. Boehner didn't lose. Republicans won the House for another two years and Boehner runs it until we can get rid of him. The House is a co-equal branch of the U.S. government. He should say Republicans continue to be willing to work with dems if they will work with us. Then the House should dig in their heels and agree to nothing Obama wants. Obstruction is the only card we have and it must be played.

“Obama and the media will portray... “

Blah, blah, blah.

F*** the GD media. It’s time to reason with these traitor pigs in dark parking lots with no witnesses around.

also .. on Kudlow they played a clip of Boehner’s comments which began with “we want you (Obama) to succeed ...”

No, Boehner, we do not want Obama or his evil minions to succeed.

“The Crying Clown” knows what’s coming and that the government cannot do a thing about it now. He also knows he and the Pubs in the House will be setup to be blamed for it and this is his way to cover their butts while national attention is still high. Personally, I think it’s too little too late.
BTW, they ALL know what’s coming and they ALL know they cannot stop it now. They ALL know that they’re responsible for it too. It is good that the Rats and odongo are going to totally own it once it happens.

The voting machines haven’t even cooled down yet and he’s surrendering.

Let me go out on a limb here and suggest that someone stole the election. There is no way this many millions of folk want four more years of this crap. Anyone explain this piece? here

I guess what Boehner doesn't seem to understand, nor will he ever to be frank about it, common ground eludes the two sides because there is no common ground. It simple, basic and to the point. These fools do not have one grain of common sense among the Establishment types. They exist to suck off the government teat just like their lower brothers and sisters standing in the welfare lines.

All, ALL of them, the Exempt Ones, are surrounded with aids upon aids, with more bureaus and agency aids, all made sure they were Exempt from Extortion-Care, along with all their big retirements/pensions right into the gravy train government Un-free market. Tax money propping of the Un-freeMarket.
The reason for trading collars.

They aditionally, intended to not only Extortion-Care the rest of the nation, but additionally theft the Entitlements, yet they themselves still being Entitled. Once again the Exempt Ones.

The Gang is looking for cover. Their MassachusettsHillary lost, but even in his concession speech, Mitt spewed the “reaching across the aile” propaganda.

No surprise one day later, just one day later, the bailed out ones are frantic again to put it off on others. Entitled, and Exempt, but nobody else is.

And their propaganda and dis-information wings, made sure no former Reagan talk was seen or heard last night.

Hey, I found a picture of Boehner practicing his technique of working with Obama and the Democrats:

Cooperation

I would like it if a deal fails and Republicans could effectively blame Obama. But that takes skill and trust on our side so it probably wont happen.

Obama won.
When Boner took over the House O immediately got on TV warning and lecturing the new ‘R congress’ (he made this a point to repeat over and over) so he could blame them for everything.

Well make Obama own it again like in 2009.

No I don’t want to see entitlement future cuts with Obama-care spending protected. That does nothing for me.

However, while extending the olive branch his eyes started leaking and he could not lift his arm.

Boner should act like a man for one time in his life. This country will not survive. So Boner should give it his all as he goes down. Simply do nothing and that’s giving obama and the dems everything they asked for. And I don’t care who gets blamed.

Boehner has been and is a shill for Boehner and his D.C. shilling for Obama. How the people of his state have never caught on that Obama’s golf partner is worthless as a true Republican is beyond my reasoning. Perhaps they just want a jackass in an elephants hide.

Bonehead is part of the problem and needs to go. I’m am so sick this punk, and that is what he is, a tiny little punk. He talks tough, but is a big wimp when is counts.
