John Boehner gave a press conference i think it was last week he seemed so lost and was tripping over his words.

Easy answer to that: nicotine withdrawal. Nancy made the House a "no smoking area".

[StoneWall Brigade]

I guess so

[surely_you_jest]

Boner is the same pathetic go-along-to-get-along wimp as he was when the GOP held the majority. And now, in addition to that, he reveals himself as a whiner. Do any of these guys have a measurable level of testosterone? Will they ever?

[goldstategop]

Oh, qute whining! Elections have consequences. Did the House GOP really expect the Democrats to compromise on their agenda to please them? If so they have a rude awakening. With being in the majority comes power and all its entitlements. The Dems are behaving no different than the Republicans would had their positions been reversed. Being in the minority is being stripped of power and even John Boehner ought to know better.

No leadership + election loss= SHUT OUT!!! Hello! What else should we expect.

You mean they're surprised?

[rockrr]

You seem to play the "victim" well...

[Paige]

Have you taken the Pledge? I'm a Conservative and I don't get into Collectivism. Thanks

[Paige]

So you don't want to blame the Democrats ?

[Paige]

The Democrats won by getting the voters to give up. The stay at homes played into the hands of the Socialist and they played along so easily.

Kind of reminds me of Pavlov's dog.

The House Republicans need to grow up and understand that these people are thugs. You don't whine about thugs. You fight them. The sooner the better.

[edsheppa]

No, but otoh, I'm not philosophically opposed. I'm just enjoying tweaking the noses of the many Pledge Takers who just a short while ago were taking the "stay at homes" to task for "helping elect Democrats."

[JoeSixPack1]

Dump every single federal incumbent, every lobbyist, and any and all support staff from volunteers on up and just lock the doors, shut down the fed in its entirety,,,, then we can elect all new crooks.

[Howlin]

Are you incapable of commenting on the TOPIC of any thread without slapping something about immigration in it?

[Theodore R.]

I meant, the GOP is comfortable being in the Robert Michel type of minority AGAIN.

[Howlin]

Isn't THAT the truth. But I still see they're hearing b*t*hing and moaning.

[Howlin]

Cry me a river.

Here's one right here, bragging about putting the Dems in power!

[Howlin]

No, we're blaming YOU all who didn't support the GOP and turned this country over to this pack of socialist liars.

[Howlin]

I have been trying to get an answer to this for about three days: who in the world does Chuck Hagel think is going to support him? Who are his "core" voters? Know any?

[Paige]

First of all, the term "pledge taker" is rather ignorant. Second of all, I don't have time for stupid games with someone who seems to be eaten up with keyboard courage.

At this time, I'm busy (along with others) trying to understand why Conservatives enjoy losing. Do you know since you seem to be one of the ones that stayed home since you did not take "the pledge."

People like you are the reason we have Jane Fonda and others coming out against our troops. This isn't a game and some people need to grow up.
