Call him a liar on the Senate Floor. Call Pelosi a liar on the House floor. Just start calling them out on who they are instead of this “my friend on the other side”.

[Cicero]

Keeping your word is a matter of honor. Harry Reid doesn’t know what honor is. He never heard of any such thing.

I think Ted Kennedy has been a force behind the Democrats' judicial strategies. He's the one who thought up the filibustering of judicial nominations a few years ago. I wonder if things will change now that Kennedy is no longer a player.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell: A fool for believing the lying demscum.

Why oh WHY can’t Republicans see that appeasing demscum on the national (political) arena is EXACTLY the same as appeasing terrorists in the international arena? It is a show of WEAKNESS that just invites MORE lying/terrorism.

How about this for a “reprisal”...

The next time they have one of these one minute “pro f-up” (sorry, pro-forma) Senate sessions, have a number of Republicans there to do whatever they need to do, and to make themselves available to the friendly media who will cover them, explaining how the Democrats are subverting the power granted to the President by the Constitution to make recess appointments.

That would be a good start. And during floor statements, each Republican speaker has a copy of the Constitution that states the President’s power, and a large poster board with that phrase on it, in large print and highlighted.

I negotiate business contracts for a living. In general, if one side makes a promise (quotation), you make a comparable promise (purchase order). If the other side follows through with action (such as delivery), then you make a comparable action (such as payment).

What the Republicans do too often is the equivalent of making payment on a private verbal quotation.

I think back to last year's amnesty vote. Conservatives were made out to be the extremists, because we asked for demonstrable action (limited border enforcement) before giving comparable action (limited amnesty).

How often have we answered the "You can't deport thirty million" canard with "You can't let everybody stay without at least picking out the rotten apples"? The whole damned amnesty premise started out with the assumption that everybody stayed and they'd negotiate up from there with guest worker programs and such. A true compromise would be along the lines of "We give x agricultural guest worker visas for every y verified criminal deportations" rather than "If LaRaza get to screw the middle class by importing x million welfare cheats, then the Chamber of Commerce gets to screw the middle class by importing y million agricultural workers plus H1B's."

The Democrats ALWAYS play hardball - the “republicats” are still in the marbles stage...

The “republicrats” have been playing Charlie Brown to the Democrat’s Lucy as the ball holder —— they keep running at the ball and Lucy keeps pulling it away at the last moment, which ALWAYS leads to Charlie Brown falling on his ass...

They get no sympathy from me — until they LEARN how the “game” of politics is played...
