Translation: How can conservatives and Republicans hope to govern effectively when they have returned to power by completely ignoring my advice to surrender and bow down to Obama and Pelosi?

Just because my appease and surrender advice is about to be discredited in the most forceful bitch slapping imaginable, you hicks should realize my way is the right way and stop ignoring me. Because if you guys ignore me and laugh at my foolisness thirteen or fourteen more times I am out of here. You can just try to get by without me. I really mean it. Seriously. I'm not kidding.

My apologies.

A. Morgan, thank you very much for catching that.

LOL - That’s a fairly cogent translation!

At some point...the logic of paying each of the 535 Members of Congress a BILLION dollars a year to stay home and quit legislatin’ on “behalf” of the nation ..will become eviden and obvious to all...but the deepest denizon of DC.

It is the Frum/Noonan/Brooks/Parker cabal of elitists that need to come up with a policy.

So far as one can determine, their policy is to hate Palin, dismiss the Tea Party conservatives, praise illegal immigration, encourage “compassionate” spending, and support the grand old dinosaurs who believe the Republican party should be a lighter version of the Democrat party which permits them to be insiders at the Washington banquet of the ruking class.

“Somehow I always thought we’d get more done before we became completely corrupt.” How much will we get done next time given the poverty of our think tank work over the past half decade?”

How much did the founders rely on think tanks for their vision of government?

If we do get true conservative majorities in both chambers just ending this reaching across the aisle bipartisan nonsense along with some serious rollbacks will be a huge victory.

It’s gonna take a while to undo the damage.

You’re right.

Fact is, even if the Republicans take control of the Congress in this election cycle, that will NOT represent a conservative majority.

So, yes, it’s going to take awhile to undo the damage.

It’s going to take awhile before we can bring about a true conservative majority.

The danger is that many will go back to sleep if the Republicans win, not realizing that the work has only just begun.

I am with you on that. I wish the US Congress met once for a short session every two years like the Texas legislature does. I think the country would be much better off if they followed that model. Lawmakers cannot cause trouble when they are not in session.

That has to beat who's driving now.

Frum is whining....a-g-a-i-n.

Oh please.

You get an idea of the pukes good-cop-bad-cop act when you know Timothy Carney is the one who outed Rahm Emanuel as a G/S plant in the WH.

BTW, there is a reward out for anyone who can determine what Frum, Billy Kristol and the rest of the pukeneos actually do for a living. None of the pukeneos have any visible means of support, unless you count:

(1) media prostitution,

(2) editing stupid magazines subsidized by offshore wire transfers,

(3) infiltratng the US government,

(4) endless think-tank pontificating on how nice it is to goad the US military into invading foreign countries of the pukes choosing,

(5) cheerleading amnesty, National Greatness, America as Empire, endless war, and John McCain,

(6) squatting in the Repub Party, hoping to destroy it from within,

(7) religious cleansing of the Repub Party, and,

(8) kicking so/con Repubs to the curb.
