I can't help but take this as a sign that the Republicans in the House aren't serious about carrying the fight to the enemy, i.e, the Democrats.

I can't help but take this as a sign you didn't look at the Breaking News sidebar... :-P

another discussion here.

My horse was Shadegg. What is the book on Boehner? I just heard M. Medved say that he has never bookmarked an appropriation.

Agree. I met Boehner with my students in WA about a year ago. He spent perhaps 20 minutes with us, and looked completely disinterested, and when asked about immigration, basically shrugged and said, in essence, "There's nothing you can do about it."

Yet 10 years ago, he was a firebrand.

Potential linguistic history in the making - will his mistakes become a catchword? I hope he doesn't pull any serious boners or his face could end up in the dictionary.

Crap, bookmark = earmark

[dinoparty]

Dang, I wanted Congressman Stiffy or Congressman Hardon.

[Publius6961]

At the risk of seeming to make light of the situation, I hope, quite strongly, that he consider a name change.

This gives the 'Rats waaaaaaay to much ammunition...

Rep. Jim Ryun from Kansas, who was not an announced candidate, got two votes! Yeah, Jim!

It makes no difference who is the Engineer on the train of conservatism, so congratulation to the GOP team for selecting a leader and not a mouse.
In California we need help the fight the crazy, liberal, sex-addicts that have taken over the Democrats. They have been successful pushing their sex-addict agenda into every phase of our community life. Example is AB 606, 50 and others.
Send us reinforcements from the Red States.

RINO!

Whooopeee! Whoever gets the job won't mean a thing to the average American This is an inside-the-beltway power struggle.

Over 51 percent of Americans could not name the president much less the name of the majority leader.

From a practical standpoint it means that whoever gets the job gets a larger office suite, larger staff, more money, more perks, a parking space closer to the Capitol entrance,his own private saloon, a longer limo, a higher pension and the ability to demand a higher price for his lobbying when he leaves office.

Sorry, but I didn't make it so.
