“Negotiations” over the past 80 years have brought us to national bankruptcy and imminent massive social unrest when the bennies stop flowing.
How I wish our “leaders” had balls.
Certainly. We have to suffer some time. Let’s do it while the democrats get the blame. That’s one bright—or not totally dim—spot in the elections: conservatives can no longer be blamed for events that are inevitable.
Is it too late to get rid of this idiot as speaker? Anyone else stepping up to the plate?
What a surprise.
If there are any real Republicans in the House (and that remains to be seen) their biggest job is to keep Boehner from giving away the store until they can replace him with almost anyone else.
Just about any Reublican in the House would be better than what we have now for Speaker.
After looking at all the facts and fraud and wondering why the Republicans do nothing, I do wonder if this is not a “rope a dope” strategy. If Romney got in, would he be able to fix things? Perhaps a little, but we would go back to partisan bickering and party line votes and be back in the same place, just a few more years out.
There are some animals that if given enough food will eat themselves to death. We all know socialism/communism fails, we all know Keynesian economics fails as well. So now they own this, we should give them everything they want, all the rope they need. The sooner the system collapses, the sooner we can rebuild with proper capitalistic principles, without the encumbrances by the left idiocy. This will be painful, but that seems to be the only way to educate the masses.
Boehner again presents the Republican Party image: IMPOTENCE!
Elect Paul Ryan for Speaker.
I wonder how much longer that Conservatives will see that they are considered by the GOP as useful idiots that are only useful to get Republicans elected and then are no longer useful.
Everything we all just voted for is going to be flushed down the toilet by the people you supported and elected. We all just have to shut up and take it, because the very same two parties know that the things that we actually want will put them out of business if enacted— and that ain’t ever gonna happen.
I went Independent after 2008, but I continued to vote mostly for Republicans “because they had a chance of winning.” What good is it for us if the people we vote for win and then betray us EVERY SINGLE TIME?
This was my last wasted vote for things I didn’t believe would actually happen, anyway.
The GOP can go to hell.
That being said, Reid had promised that the senate would not be able to work with Romney if elected. I think Boehner should take the position that he is going to run the house exactly the way that Reid runs the senate. If Reid won't compromise, neither will Boehner.
No increase in the debt ceiling, let all non essential government services be shut down. If their are not essential we can't afford them. Do this until a legitimate budget is passed. Fiscal cliff is just what is needed to focus everyone's attention.
The fiscal cliff is minor compared to sequestration which is very minor compared to the Armageddon of the national debt.
“DON’T DO ANYTHING!”
I hear ‘ya brother - it’s gonna’ crash sooner or later - may as well be now with Zero “in charge”
Look I'm a survivor...I think most Conservatives are.. we take care of ourselves ... we try to help others...but you can't save fools a bent on destroying themselves and you with them....
Their a jaundice alcoholic with a failing liver headed to skid row and they want another bottle ..and flipped you the bird for saying "stop!"
The first 4 Obama years were Americas fall...we are now going in to Americas winter...
There no stopping them now... they are going to tax and burn thought the country's core seed capital...fast...and then it all collapses hard... we cried, we yelled, we pleaded we begged for them to listen... and they didn't
Im with you. Following some conservatives on twitter is sort of sad. Pollyanna idealists who think the power of ideas wins over free crap. You can’t win against free crap. LET IT BURN.
Almost every time Boehner opens his mouth he demonstrates why he should not be Speaker. He has no business at all blabbering away about giving up on repeal of Obamacare, and especially not saying that immigration reform is a priority.
Those are issues to be decided by the Republican House members as a whole, and not anything to be dictated by a speaker or any other member. All he’s doing is showing what a coward he is and how easily he caves at the first opportunity after the election. Republicans in the House don’t have to go along with any of that and he should keep his mouth shut if that’s all he knows to say.
I agree. Do nothing. Let all the Bush tax cuts expire. Let the young people who have been working with these tax cuts their whole life see what they would have to pay without Bush. Let all the gays who wanted to be married start paying the marriage penalty.
We might as well rip off the Bandaid fast instead of staggering on with liberal’s illusions and an ever-failing economy.
They have to extend the debt ceiling (as they already passed a budget) but I agree with you on the other stuff, That one they would surely get blamed for.
Let the cuts go into effect and the taxes go up and every House member needs to get o n TV and say that this is what Obama had planned.
Doesn't the next congress get to vote to choose their leadership in January? Boehner should have booted back in 2009 as I said at the time, better now than never.
Complete non-cooperation. Burn down the house
Shut it all down John, don’t fund anything, EPA, DHS, TSA, Obamacare, all of it. Just say NO! D.C. needs to just close for business. Complete gridlock. Who cares who the MSM blames, we all know the MSM will blame anybody but the long legged mack Daddy anyhow.
The left, living as they do in the land where Skittles and Tea reliably come out of the arse of unicorns while they leap over rainbows, wants the GOP to compromise that just this once, two plus two does not equal four.
Any member of Congress who agrees to such a compromise with reality has disqualified themselves from office.
