Republicans control one half of one third of the government.
Everything you stated, while fantastic, would get killed in the Senate.
Until the tea party gets 61 seats in the Senate, the White House and a large majority in the House, what you are suggesting is a pipe dream
Bonehead is a pansy.
Hey if it makes you feel better, go for it. I got tired of getting my ass chewed trying to offer any kind of reasonable analysis of this last night. Everyone knows what you say here is true. Including Boehner. But it took 30 years of overspending and overconsuming to get us to this point and it’s going to take more than one halfway budget bill to get us out.
Did we get what we wanted? No. Did the other side? NO. Do we live to fight another day? HELL YEAH!
I don’t know if we will get everything we want in the next showdown or not, but I do know this: If what happened last November hadn’t happened, we would not even be having is conversation. So before you go out to tar and feather Speaker Boehner, just take a few minutes and think back to the grand old boxtox-filled jet-setting days of Speaker Pelosi.

Why don’t you convert your letter into a petition and we’ll all sign it.
Amen Austin girl!!!! My sentiments exactly.
Boehner is part of the machine, too .
Austingirl - you are a voice of reason in a city that is overwhelemed by liberal craziness! So you’re entitled to a good rant now and again.
The TEA party is big enough to slant elections. All of these damn socialists can’t spin this bull-crap enough. Everybody can now go have fun at the taxpayer funded Cherry Blossom Festival which are timely out of bloom.
Great e-mail....
BETTER as a LETTER. (I hear they don’t pay attention to e-mails, anymore, and Boehner needs to get this !)
I never was that excited over the 2010 election. And I was sickened when BooHoo Boner was elected speaker.
There are still too many rinos. As I’ve said before, I’d rather lose for my beliefs than lose after caving. And I’m not convinced conservatives will win in 2012 so they’d better start now. Yet they didn’t according to Mark Levin. And I’ll take his word over Rove’s any day.
whoo hoo~!!!
congratulations
austingirl,
You are far kinder to boehner than I was.
I went to U.S. congress.guv and to his contact area and gave him a piece of my mind *which I can’t afford to give away) and told him in no uncertain way of how I feel about the gutless pos.
Conservative Republican? No such animal, just dem freakin lite.
I sent a copy of this to the Unamerican Statesman - do you think they’ll print it?
You could write/print a train load of letters and it wouldn't have much more effect than your simple email.
To get control, you have to take control. This can be done peacefully as MLK and Gandhi have shown. Though peaceful, it will be painful for the participants. But certainly less painful than the catastrophe which awaits us all.
We have to shut down the economy until we wrestle control from our runaway federal government. To do this, a coordinated national economic shutdown by all like minded citizens and businesses lasting weeks and months would work.
The federal government is a parasite that will eventually kill the host. What we, the citizen body as host have to do, is take the appropriate medicine in order to cure ourselves of this illness. Otherwise, the consequences of our inaction isn't going to be pretty. Time to act is much shorter than you think.
We need to send email’s to every republican member of congress to dump Bone head.
West or Bachman should be speaker of the house..
As long as conservatives win, I am happy to have it come one modest battle at a time. Move the ball down the field.
Boehner did great work. The Republicans in Congress did great work. They deserve our praise and our support.
The shame is on those FReepers who can not be civil in their disagreement. It is fine with me for Austingirl to disagree and to want more sooner. We can respectfully disagree.
The name calling and lack of basic decency displayed by too many people here is not ok. It is rude and entirely counterproductive.
Thank you! A most excellent rant! I agree wholeheartedly!
