They're not saying, "Let's talk about how to do it in a way where we both get what we want." They want Obama stopped. They want to save their country. They don't care what Boehner is going to do with the rules of the House.
They don't care how they're gonna get even with Pelosi. They don't care that Pelosi isn't going to be there. It's Obama and the Democrats in toto stopped. It's not more complicated than that.
If you missed it, you really missed it.

"Wait, congressman, congressman, the people don't care about how the House runs. They don't care about open debate. They care about stopping Obama and the Democrats! They care about saving the country! They don't care if Obama goes to jail! They don't care if Axelrod goes to jail. They want them stopped. They want them to have no power.

Totally agree with Rush. The politicians have no idea that we are having the silent civil war going on right before our eyes but the DC politicians are blind to this.
They are walking straight over this nation silently and killing it off. We need to stop Obama however we can and steamroll his agenda and everything that the left is doing. We cannot afford to “compromise” with someone who wants to destroy us. We have to take no prisoners.
We are in a war for the survival of the United States. It sounds like the Republican politicians understand this. I know some do but the ones that have been in Washington DC so long don’t want to see or hear about it. They just want to pull down a paycheck with a great health care plan and a retirement.
Lets up Issa understood what Rush was saying.
If the GOP continues to placate liberals and push Liberal Globalism....there will be a conservative Third Party running in 2012
Remarkable. Even one of the senate’s TOP, spineless, RINO WEASELS, Mitchie the Kid McConnell made sure Rush was contacted with his denial about NOT wanting to kill HusseinCare. Of course, I don’t believe ANYTHING McConnell says. But his haste in lying was quite impressive!! Rush scares these RINO sell-outs. ESPECIALLY 12 days before an election!
At the very MINIMUM, I want every frickin' legislative action that Obama wants D O frickn' A, by God..... I don't care about reversion right now, I know that's not possible with the way the numbers are....just effin stop what they want to do from now until 2012.
Issa and the rest of the GOP quislings had better damn well get that message!
We want a complete repeal or complete defunding for Obamacare.
No compromises, no excuses. NO FUNDING!
That's a start.
I caught it live too. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Amazing. I hope the good congressman internalizes it.
I know I am going to get hammered for this, but the fact is Issa is more right than Rush. Rush is correct that the Obama agenda has to be stopped in its tracks, but there will have to be compromise running the government, in general.
If the GOP win Congress, they can’t operate the government like a parliamentary system. It is impossible.
The great thing about a GOP takeover, however, is Barack Obama will have absolutely no power to introduce any legislation whatsoever. Only veto power.
But whatever legislation the GOP does pass, it will have to compromise with Obama, because the GOP doesn’t have any power to over-ride.
You have to look on the bright side:
No amnesty for illegals.
No cap in trade.
No financing for Obamacare.
No more bail outs.
No more trillion dollar stimulus for Democratic Party cronies.
Investigative powers to go after executive branch.
Power to veto any left-wing judicial appointments.
Issa was merely being polite. He reminds me of Brendan “sharktooth” Sullivan, the D.C. attorney. He will never back off. I like Issa.
If the Republicans negotiate with Uhbamuh, he will use those negotiations in 2012 to win a second term. Republicans, particularly in the House, must put forth and pass significant legislation and make Uhbamuh’s vetoes the campaign issue for 2012.
I have this unpleasant feeling that there are still many “Republican” congressmen who have no earthly idea what the teaparty is all about. The “holding hands across the aisle and sing kumbayah” business is part of their political DNA. Get rid of them in 2012.
We The People demand an investigation into every shred of corruption that was committed by the Imam, his Regime including the Czars, and this current Congress including Boxer, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Kerry, Murray, Waters, Rangle et al. Dig out every shred of corruption, payoffs, under-the-table money, kickbacks, all the dirt; investigate, expose, and prosecute.
I understand the concern, but not the unrealistic expectations.
Obama is the President. He was elected by a majority, and has two years remaining in office. During his two years, we can do just about nothing without him at least grudgingly assenting to it, unless we can scare the democrats in the house and senate so much that they vote with us to override vetos.
But a lot of those democrats will actually have been re-elected running on opposing us. A majority of their constituents will expect them NOT to compromise with us, and certainly not to help us override presidential vetos.
But we have to fund the military. We can’t really “shut down government” if the other side wants to be intransigent, if it means our military doesn’t get what it needs. We will have to in the end give something to get passed what we need to pass.
It sucks, but that is how our democratic house and senate work. You need the votes from a majority, and then you need the president to sign the bills. The democrats weren’t reasonable last year, so why would they be reasonable this year? They were willing to lose their majority for what they wanted last year — you think having lost it, they will realize the error of their ways and change their votes now?
Rush gets it ........ PING!
” I listened to this. Issa didn’t get it. He was playing inside the Beltway....I don’t give a rats ass if he never, ever, never gets a damned invite to some damn cocktail party, period.”
Issa has amassed a case load of Obama administration crimes like never before, and will go after them. I spent an evening with Issa a few years ago. He is no “go along” Republican.
Rush nails it. I don’t want to hear Repubs talking about “gridlock” like its a bad thing. I’d prefer to see Obama impeached and removed, but in the absense of that, gridlock will do.
When congress stops making laws, the country breathes freer.
I want to see everything O has done repealed. And then I want gridlock until he is removed from office.
Anyone going into political office, whethere Repub or Dem, already has a bias toward government action and thats a big part of the problem. Almost no one goes into office for the purpose of letting people govern themselves. Thats why even Repubs promising limited government always grow government. No one ever runs for office promising to do nothing, no one ever runs for office promising to do less than his predecessor. They always see themselves enacting legislation so that government can solve something and they inevitably grow the power of government even while promising not to.
Not this time. Repeal, defund, impeach. And in between repealing, defunding, and impeaching, I want gridlock.
