In the wake of the ludicrous 'fiscal cliff' deal made by Boehner and McConnell -packed with pork, increasing the deficit by $4 TRILLION, and raising taxes on most every American while extracting diddly-squat in spending cuts- the Republican Party doesn't represent my interests anymore, yet no GOPer has the huevos to mount a viable challenge to Boehner's feckless 'leadership'-
Ron Meyer, a spokesman for the conservative group American Majority Action, which was among several calling for Boehners ouster, acknowledged that House Republicans simply do not have a viable alternative to Boehner.
It turns out no one else seems willing to pick up the mantle, he said on Wednesday. 'I hesitate to say it, but this goes to some degree to cowardice.'
Yet yesterday's so-called 'fiscal cliff' deal included all this
pork for Obama supporters-
- $430 million for Hollywood through special expensing rules to encourage TV and film production in the United States. Producers can expense up to $15 million of costs for their projects.
- $331 million for railroads by allowing short-line and regional operators to claim a tax credit up to 50 percent of the cost to maintain tracks that they own or lease.
- $222 million for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands through returned excise taxes collected by the federal government on rum produced in the islands and imported to the mainland.
- $70 million for NASCAR by extending a 7-year cost recovery period for certain motorsports racing track facilities.
- $59 million for algae growers through tax credits to encourage production of cellulosic biofuel at up to $1.01 per gallon.
- $4 million for electric motorcycle makers by expanding an existing green-energy tax credit for buyers of plug-in vehicles to include electric motorbikes.
How much worse could the American right do in upcoming battles on debt, immigration, and Obammunist gun grabs?
PLENTY worse... but there's no need to take it on faith,
now you'll get to see for yourself.

With our current technology, blackmailing is almost effortless. It doesn’t matter who you send. If bribery is insufficient, thieves move to blackmail; if blackmail is insufficient, they move to a smear; if none of this works, then threats on person and family follow; if even yet a congressman or senator resists, “suicide” of a family member will ensue. I don’t believe anyone could overcome guilt over a dead daughter. The fundamental problem is that the FBI is no longer the independent FBI of Hoover. Billions upon billions upon billions of federal dollars are irresistible to the world’s brightest thieves.

Being Speaker is a thankless task these days. Not only do you not get thanks...you also have hate thrown at you on a daily basis. The Tea Party couldn't find someone willing and able to take the garbage that goes with the office regardless of the verbiage that they've put out lately.
So what color uniforms do the GOP-e cheerleaders get to wear this year?

You and every other sycophant that runs around proclaiming conservatism while pushing compromise and ‘go along get along Republicanism”. Yes, very much so.
All your/others interference in Conservative acceptance of the reality that JonBon and Co. are openly hostile to the values they hold dear. Yes, Absolutely.
Your/others rabid devotion to anything BUT the idea of Conservatives abandoning a party that revels in the sodomy of it’s conservative members? Yes, absolutely.
And all one needs to do is read your post history to see every single thing I just described.
I strongly recommend, as I told you before, that they do before deciding whether or not to take you seriously. The great thing about these performances of yours is that once people do, they just get madder...at the people you are openly protecting.
And much like the Cheezeburger cat, that makes me haZ a happy.
But alas, it ultimately serves your purpose in diverting any progress toward establishment of a viable opposition party...which f course, is your intent.
Which, like the Cheezeburger cat, makes me haZ a sad.
But your brand of BS cannot stand unopposed.

What color is the sky on your planet?
Boner should have started negotiations with an offer to cut spending by $2 Trillion next year and making the Bush tax cuts permanent and cutting White House funding by 70%. Then start haggling from there. Leverage comes from having a big stick, something Weepy Boner doesn’t.

Ah, more insult and no facts. So typical.
On the contrary, I am frustrated by the slow pace. But do I see the Tea Party offering up any other REAL alternative plan?
No, they basically just like to sling insults at people who are taking flak (how brave NOT), rally around a temporary "leader" for a day or two and whine constantly.
To: Norm Lenhart
No one with reason and a desire for honesty can. So that leaves either really stupid people or willing shills. I go with Door #3: paid lackeys.

So how much does the GOP pay you to post this drivel on FreeRepublic? Must be a pretty good sum.

LOL I strongly suspect that people could not be bothered examining my posting history like you seem obsessed with doing.
To: COBOL2Java
So how much does the GOP pay you YAWN...got anything real to say?
To: COBOL2Java
He denied it on another thread a while back, but I have to wonder. Then again, plenty of ‘conservatives’ thrilled at torpedoing Palin among conservatives and other Americans just for the thrill of all the attention they got, so who knows?
I’s hope the GOP was smart enough to hire people a little less obvious. Then again, I’m glad they aren’t.
To: what's up; Norm Lenhart
Good Lord, you mean Norm Lenhart's right - you're either stupid or a willing shill? Yeesh. I thought at least you're smart enough to receive some remuneration.
OK, Norm, I take back #3.

Basic oppo research. Or do you often get into disagreements with people without caring who/what you’re dealing with?
A losing strategy. But from a GOP fanboy, that should surprise exactly no one.
And if people do or don’t look your posts up, that’s up to them. I’m just doing my part to help people from mistaking you for something other than what you are.
To: Norm Lenhart
Is hope the GOP was smart enough to hire people a little less obvious I suspect that you don't have to be too smart to outsmart a dummy like you who believes I'm a GOP hire.
To: COBOL2Java
“Good Lord, you mean Norm Lenhart’s right “
It happens from time to time ;)
No one believes it though.
To: COBOL2Java
No, I never meant the guy was right about anything.
Quite the opposite.
To: what's up
So leave us poor deluded fools to our ignorance and go somewhere like DU where your views are more accepted. Why risk our taint rubbing off on your political wisdom?
Or back to GOPHQ.
Same thing lately.
To: Norm Lenhart
Or do you often get into disagreements with people without caring If you mean do I look up a person's posting history just because I disagree with an opinion no I find no need to do so.
I understand that there are people who think differently than I do. I can get that simply from a response posted. In fact, I would guess most people don't find the need or have the time to go digging deeper but feel free if you have a need.
To: Hugin
The attacks on Boehner are just over the top, knee jerk reactions that ignore the FACT that the RATS already had a tax increase on every working American it nothing was done. So he really had no leverage to work with. Well see what happens when the debt limit comes up in a couple months, when the situation is reversed.
YEAH!! It’s not like the Republican speaker voted for and supported the very bill that created the cliff... er wait.
YEAH!! It’s not like a republican demanded the sunset be placed in the Bush tax cut bill.. Er wait.
YEAH!! It’s not like the house controls spending.. Er wait.
YEAH!! It’s not like the house is where tax bills have to start. Er wait.
Aww the hell with it. EFF the GOPe.

But we still have incredible power over DC.
With hold the taxes. Work less, enjoy life more. I did 6 figures last year. I won’t do half that this year (by choice) I’ll see my kids more, fish more, enjoy life more and ya, I won’t bank so much this year, but who cares. Inflation will wipe out what I save anyways.
Might even take the money I have in soft assets and buy up a bunch of land.
