You are late to the party. I hope at least you brought some rope.

It`s not jail rape, it`s being slipped GHB in your drink at a night club as you`re being dazzled by the flashing lights, disco balls and the sweet talker in your ear.

YES, IT`S YOUR FAULT YOU GOT DRUGGED AND DATE RAPED!

Stupid rookie GOPers. Err, GOP/RINOS now.

You`ve been bought and paid for now. You`re nothing but ex-virgins now tossed in with the rest of the whores.

How`s that, enough?

Conservatives/Republicans have been compromising our way to total collapse for decades. That’s what happens when you only play offense. The Democrats want way bigger government. Our side says NO. We compromise for a not so gigantic increase. But an increase nonetheless. The next day D.C. moves on to another issue and the same process of compromise takes place.
When good compromises with evil evil wins. And when evil compromises with good evil wins.
The game is coming to an end. Thanks, “conservatives”. Thanks Republicans.

Not much different than the 1995, 1996 budget "compromise" under Bubba.

We need the house and the senate and the whitehouse.

The hysteria is hysterical . Rep Paul Ryan was on local radio this afternoon. I will take his guidance and not have my head explode like so many others on FR.

I don’t understand the caterwauling about the Bush tax cuts expiring in 2013 being a basis for opposing the debt deal. That massive tax increase in 2013 only happens if we lose the 2012 election.

The American people love to delude themselves.

The Obama regime is not a failure. The Obama regime is not incompetent. The Obama regime has achieved more in two and a half years than anyone could have possibly foreseen. It has debased the currency by 50% of the GDP and guaranteed that our economy will collapse. It has looted the Treasury for more than the size of a top-ten economy and embezzled that wealth into the hands of their fellow Marxists in preparation for the final collapse of the United States. It has ground the economy of the United States to a screeching halt. It has destabilized the entire Muslim world and ensured that there will be a nuclear war centered around Israel within the decade.

Hillary's machine has continued with the game plan despite dumping Hillary.

As she has undoubtedly pointed out to them, however, they can't hold their gains without her. Obama's a figurehead, and their plan now has no center - only a bunch of squabbling demons throwing acolytes at each other. Without the one ring to bind them, they are lost.

Yet The Bitch is permanently toxic. LOL!

----.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Let's get real, here. At the most, we affedcte part of the House, a smidgin of the 1/3 of the Senate up for reelection.

This isn't going to be over in a week, I figure it will take a decade.

WHile I and others had hoped for enough steadfast votes to be obstructionist--that's right, to stop the tax and spend juggernaut, to throw a monkey wrench into the works--I and others who are realistic about this know that getting that done in only one election is a dream.

We're in this for a long fight.

This mess has been the reslut of fifty plus years of people giving in incrementally, and getting it all back in one fell swoop (short of showing up in DC by the millions with torches and pitchforks) just isn't going to happen.

We actually hope to avoid violence if possible.

There is another election coming up, and if 50% of the TEA party favored candidates don't get Beltway fever and turn on their electorates, we will have succeeded in electing another crop of principled people to help turn the tide.

It won't be done in one election, or even two, it will take time.

The last election was not the end, nor even the end of the beginning, it was a beginning, and nothing more.

So, all hope and dreams aside, we are not sniveling liberals and we are no strangers to hard work.

We are not defeated, we have only just begun to fight.
