After seeing the marvelous and telling picture atop this article, I actually had high hopes for it. Until, like a baby you've picked up in your arms slowly and surely begins to stink from what you instinctively know it has done.

I submit the offal:

To the contrary, I seriously question not only the sanity but the very patriotism of someone who can soberly state euphemisms such as "Boehner is worse than Pelosi" and the similar comments made by my fellow conservatives.

Frankly, with GOPe (he thinks he's a conservative, but not) allies like this, who actually needs Democrats. No patriotism? Really? If I recall correctly, CONSERVATIVES were not the legislators who invented the CLOTURE-SHOW VOTE maneuver to stab citizens in the back.

Further, this not-so-subtle "let's work together" screed is bolster with "we're on the verge of a truly historic moment.." crap. NEWS FLASH!!!!! That historic moment was early in W's first term when he had the whole nine yards, the kit and caboodle, the big enchilada - the trifecta of power. What did we (he) do? Prescription Medicare, No Child Left Behind, and the crowning achievement, the DHS and the TSA (along with a newly Patriot Act energized CIA, NSA, IRS, USPS, and the kitchen sink).

It goes on from there...Article V, blah, blah, blah... Promises, intentions, Patriotic feel-goodisms, and a call for cooperation between TP and GOPe lest the ooga booga Democrats snatch us in the dark. Put this country back on track, work with the GOPe to do this, that...blah, blah, blah.

Now, somebody please tell me. He calls me (US, conservatives) unpatriotic and then appeals to my patriotism after telling me all the crap WE did wrong, and how well Boehner (from whom we could learn a thing or two) successfully navigated the crap hole waters of the Potomac and its environs. Tell me what the GOPe's promise is worth?

Just damn!

What did we [Bush] do? Prescription Medicare, No Child Left Behind, and the crowning achievement, the DHS and the TSA (along with a newly Patriot Act energized CIA, NSA, IRS, USPS, and the kitchen sink).

Bump what you said. I remember distinctly whispering to myself back circa 2004, "I don't have a party". I am suspicious of Tea Party candidates (Rubio anyone?) and downright distrustful of the rest. The Article V idea is great, but are we just being bamboozled?
