With the caveat that I speak "figuratively" as opposed to "literally" I harken back to what is supposed to have been uttered by King Henry II re: Thomas Becket: “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”

That is my (and I imagine most Cons) pleading when it comes to the groveling, reach-across-the-aisle, WUSS, RINO, scumbag, "Weeper of the House."

I’m done with the GOP. I’ll vote for any candidate who runs as Tea Party, Independent, Libertarian, Constitution, but I will never again hold my nose and pull for (R). Not even if Ryan or Palin wins the primaries in 2016. (washes hands and walks away)

If they do nothing, higher taxes already begin on January 1. Now he is offering higher taxes on top of that.
