That's the headline that's been running on FR for at least the past 24 hours or so.
Now we see Boehner easily re-elected.
Based on most things like this in the recent past, I'd say that we conservatives are getting our information from unreliable sources.
We can keep playing that game because it makes us feel good/tough/manly/whatever, or because it's easy to promote things that agree with us, or we can start doing some serious reflection on what we're doing wrong and how to fix it.
The truth is that Obama just handed us our butts in an election and in a so-called fiscal cliff standoff. Now we find moderate Boehner in power again.
Our hopes are being used to mislead us by sources we're getting our info from. I've got to start being a little more skeptical with those in the media supposedly on our side.
The way it is going is that instead of pulling the trigger on their own heads, they need to discuss it a bit further. So their suicide dialectic process dialogue is just an exercise in dithering and coming out of the closet in how stuck on their stupid they are. All this power glitter glory means nothing in the end. They all are losers. Whether it is a little world of a loser screwing his pay check or this big world of losers screwing up a huge pay check, it does not matter, a loser is a loser. The message is a bit processed by the hugeness of the collective, and it is the only difference, this sort of agony we all have to pitch in, Obamacare style.
I cannot wait for the “young and useful idiots” to go after the death tax and the elderlies’ money as a campaign of neglect as they do on veterans. It’s where it is at. Once they drop the know how into raising retirements and proper behavior for good, then it is no go from there on out. The whole thing will collapse.
No more pig cop prosecutes in the street and does not finish the fight in the court, letting the tax payer with the bill to pay. No, now they have to try and face what they are going to do... and that is why they are going to dither like this.
I’m convinced that nobody in Washington has the courage to do what is necessary to save this country from the policies that Washington has instituted in the last century.
The bottom line is that there is no political solution. Congress will continue to kick the can down the road until both the can and the kicker fall off the cliff. Nobody will dare to touch social security, medicare, endless unemployment benefits, food stamps for everyone, housing subisidies, farm subsidies, corporate welfare or any other entitlement. So the government will continue to grow and grow and grow until it swallows everything and everybody.
Ultimately the government will just have to print more and more money to keep the entitlements running and ultimately we will run out of people willing to buy our bonds. When that happens, everyone’s 401k’s proceeds will be transferred into US Bonds which will ultimately become was worthless as the German Deutchmarks were in the 1920’s.
So Congress will steal everyone’s 401k to continue to fund this monster until ultimately a trillon dollars worth of bonds will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks and then there will be blood.
I don’t see a solution to this other than the complete and total collapse of our governmental system. It is coming. It may be a couple of decades away, but the train is going downhill and it has no brakes.
