“Not even two of God's honest men, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, were able to bring it off this time.”
Extreme sarcasm?
The election worked out very well for Washington DC.....for which Obama has been the best thing ever ...since FDR.
DC is pleased!!!! They are spared a fight over ObamaCare...and will be gifted with yet new taxes to play with.
There’s no way I can bend over that far, let alone fit my head in there.
Ryan has Romney stink all over him...
And here, only four years later, you have the Republics returning, saying: let us come back, and things will be different.
. . .
You only have to go back to 2010 to see how sincere they are.
As I recall, one of Boehner’s first acts when they regained the House was to refuse a vote to defund ObamaCare, citing their own House rules as the excuse.
They’ve controlled the purse strings for two years and by how much has the debt ceiling been raised since then? They even abdicated their responsibility to the point of allowing Obama to raise it of his own volition.
Repeal and replace quickly became the ObamaCare meme. Romney’s very own record was a problem. “Anyone But Obama” might not be the best rallying cry. The McCain wing deriding conservatives as “Hobbits” sucked; their trashing of Bachmann and others was not helpful. Virginia shutting out primary candidates wasn’t so smart. Geeze, what else.... Little more than a peep out of them on some of Obama’s actions.
In the two years since their huge gains, the GOP’s done what, exactly, to earn the public’s trust? What have they given us to vote FOR?
