The ungrateful and disgraceful Boehner would not even have his job if not for the Tea Party successes of 2010.

Even if the GOP is able to somehow get majorities in the House and Senate in 2014, there’s not much reason for celebration. They will continue to go along with the Democrat agenda. It the only game they know; its how they roll.

Amazing how JB (like McCain and others) can only get worked up against the people who put them in office.

They are nice to the Democrats who are lying destroyers of all we hold dear.

They like to pretend they’re aiming at Ted Cruz, but we know exactly who they are aiming at.

Us.

Next stop for these traitors: amnesty.

You are right. I won’t be persuaded to vote for anyone again who is not a true conservative. I am content in my belief and won’t be cajoled into the “next best candidate” ever again. It gets us nowhere but supremely pissed off and betrayed.

AMEN!!

The business community has been uniformly frustrated at how strident the ideological groups have been in defiance of reason,” said David French, senior vice president of government relations of the National Retail Federation.

No, it's not the business community. It's Big Business that is in cahoots with Big Government. They are the enemy of freedom and opportunity. It's Crony Capitalism.

You can be assured 100% that these ‘business’ groups are all feeding at the government trough.

I think I need to work very hard at not spending any money at all. I need to mend my clothes, reuse everything single thing that I can, buy secondhand when possible. Big business obviously doesn’t need my money because big government has them covered. They can all go to L.

Several months ago one of these so called business leaders made the comment to the effect the US needed to move on to a new understanding of how business works and the US needed to become more like the Chinese model where govt and business work together.

Business supports the govt and govt supports the business by putting their competition out of business.

For all you people that want to hang onto the fantasy we are going to Marxism, if the left was taking us to Marxism business wouldn’t support it.

With Marxism business would become the property of the state.

With National Socialism (Nazism) business and the state work together to put their completion out of business.

That’s where the left is taking us.

The two party system has evoked into the party of government. We are now the USSR.

“........[John] Podesta has revolutionized the influence game by giving it the patina of intellectual respectability. Traditional lobbying has become blasé; it’s much better, much nobler, to enlist corporate “partnerships” in the progressive cause. As first reported by The Nation, the Center for American Progress has a number of corporate sponsors that pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to join its “Business Alliance.” In return for payment these corporations gain access to the center’s scholars, its leadership, and its events with major Democratic officials. On Friday CAP released a list of its 2013 “corporate supporters,” including multinationals such as Citigroup and Coca-Cola and Daimler and Samsung; firms such as Albright Stonebridge and McLarty Associates and the Livingston Group that represent foreign interests; and affiliates of foreign governments such as the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative in the United States and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.”.....

They are bringing in slaves to replace the American worker for cheap. Where will the American worker go?

The NRF apparently is NOT an American organization.

From their home page...

I'm sure that's true. And you're right... I always end up in south or central Florida.

You know... my state... every county voted Red in the past national election. The whole state.

Washington DC should be called 100 square miles of Griftopia surrounded by reality.

Ironically Rush has been touching upon this subject for a while now i.e. how business is now being fed by government. Everywhere you look, government has a hand in what is going on. Either they directly subsidize the business with cash or force you to use it or regulate out of business any competition in favor of the big established companies. Notice how many of the big firms are direct donors to government and or their support groups. In obamacare for example, the health insurors were big time supportors from day one, or coconspirators, because they knew the government was going to hold a gun to everyone’s head to buy expensive coverage.

We have me the enemy and it is us.

Not all of Florida is like that. You have apparently gone to the same places where all the libtards from the northeast migrate to. My part of north Florida is quite conservative.

For starters there isn't a "Nationalism" component. These are global companies and nationalism has nothing to do with it.

As far as the question of Marxism vs. Socialism, both are systems where the government has the ultimate authority. Any other distinction between the two forms of government is not very significant.

Your lucky, we wish we could separate from the south east Florida dem pit as they have the votes there to outpace what we do here. You probably don’t recall but during the recount of the 2000 election while every vote was important, my county just happened to find 200 votes cast for Bush while all eyes were focused on the recount in south florida. We vote 75% conservative every election and try to keep the yankee invasion at bay. Unfortunately two just moved next door to me, both from Alexandria Va no less, and they ceased chatting with me when they noticed my Gadsden flag!
