McConnell is completely worthless. He might as well go ahead and switch parties since he is working for the other side already. It was McConnell that did Obama and Reid's bidding for them.
I say Boehner first, and Cantor. McConnell would never have sent the bill over to the House if he had any idea Boehner could not get it passed. Boehner is inept and incompetent, he may as well polish up that gavel because the way he’s going, he’ll be turning it back over to Nancy Pelosi before long. (Who was FAR more effective in doing the job of Speaker than he is!)
The point of having a Majority is to be able to rally your troops and get things done. Boehner and Cantor are utter failures at that - they’ve screwed up every time they’ve tried. Name one time when Boehner’s great ideas of standing up to the Dems and Obama has worked...just one time!
I am beyond words to describe how ridiculously incompetent these guys are. 11% approval rating? That’s about 10 points too high. To have screwed this up as badly as they have and then come crawling back on their bellies after giving Obama everything he could ask for is grounds for resignation. Let someone with a brain run the House and maybe act like a majority party.
Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that, I was bent over assuming the position again.
I understand that McConnell is the Minority Leader, but come on! He’s got to show more backbone than that!
If only McConnell was as fierce as Pelosi was when she was Minority Leader in the House. Nice guys finish last.
I'm not purporting to know the political intricacies of this whole maneuver but if you delete the media in full cry and the wailing of the right wing then won't we really will be in the same place in 2 months? And then won't the GOP have the argument that this BS is because the rats refused to deal with it in Dec? In the end both sides will have to make the same arguments but w/o the Christmas holiday staring them down.
And honestly, how many Americans actually believe that we aren't in deep do do and it's the rat's who contributed the majority of the spending that put us here?
If they had any backbone, they would have said no deal. You dems are defunding SS when it is already going broke.
The Repubs simply cannot tell it like it is, maybe because they can't see it like it is.
Now, they are TEMPORARILY (yeah, right!) funding SS with a tax on new mortgages and refinancing, which will be paid Tah Dah!!! --by the haves, while the have nots will not pay a dime.
Looks like another ploy for Income Redistribution to me. Will FICA ever be reinstated? I doubt it. I also doubt the mortgage fee will make up the difference and more "fees" will be instigated elsewhere.
They have been farting around and taking heat over this while letting EPA close coal utilities, putting thousands more out of work and raising electric bills. They are letting the Admin and EPA/treehuggers keep the pipeline from being built and making thousands of jobs.
Are these "leaders" stupid, inept, don't give a fig, or on the shady side?

He pretty much nails the issue. I have posted it in the Bloggers and Personal area.
Whatever you do dont think about what leaders your going to replace your leaders with.....just keep getting rid of the leaders
Also Check out how much fun the French Revolution was.....and while your at it become a leader so someone can get rid of you.
It does -not- defy logic if you accept the premise that the GOP is a FALSE FRONT. It is not a conservative party, it does not promote conservative or even libertarian principals. The GOP is to American Constitutional principles what Vidkun Quisling was to Norwegian national defense.
Accept the premise that it is all a charade and everything the GOP has done for the past decade or two is perfectly logical, consistent and indeed sophisticated.
We have been bamboozled.
Republicans Implementing Nuances Of Socialism...aka RINOS
These POS slimebags are laughing all the way to their next insider trade.
We could ask them nicely to resign, go back to their families, enjoy the rest of their lives...or 300+ million vs. 535.
More reasons why...
Legislatures (state and federal) could be part-time jobs with 1/10th pay, NO retirement, NO insurance, NO benefits and NO perks. These POS politicians can get a full time job doing something productive not progressive. Their part-time job could be spent DEFUNDING/DISMANTLING socialist collectives, foreign and domestic (our government in particular).
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Alter it.
Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task. - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
McConnell and Boehner are what people get when they are so foolish as to believe that ANY politician has the best interest of the nation and its citizens at heart.
You are absolutely right. An example has to be made of these two patethic clowns.
Once again, the BOHICA Party sticks it to we, the people. How many times are we going to get it stuck to us before we realize that there is only one party rule and they do NOT represent us?
Congress is a fraudulant, criminal organization engaged in racketeering. Crimes punishable under RICO Act include:
Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and several other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
Embezzlement of union funds;
Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud;
Drug trafficking; long-term and elaborate drug networks can also be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute;
Money laundering and related offenses;
Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
Acts of terrorism.
They can ALL be arrested under Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution for felonies committed. Is there ANY lawyer out there willing to take this on? Would the FBI file suit? Are we on our own?
It’s very simple. Rat politicians are smarter than GOP politicians.
The GOP will nominate Romney, and Obama will win.
But both parties are controlled by the same people. So, it doesn’t really matter who wins between Romney and Zero.
Our only hope is a third-party candidate. I’m not saying a third-party candidate would win. I’m just saying that’s our only hope.
We need conservatives who know how to fight for what is right.
Wonder if we will ever know what type of swearheart deal was made in the District of Corruption?.
I say it is time for the Republicans in the HOUSE to throw blubber baby Boehner out of the Speakership and put somebody in there that has some BALLS! I have had it with these people. We need a third party. A REAL CONSERVATIVE party! We need it now! I don’t give a rat’s rear end if Obama gets a second term. We need to make a stand NOW. NO MORE VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS WHO CAN’T MAKE A STAND AND STAY WITH IT!! BOEHNER MUST BE FORCED OUT NOW!! Send him to the corner to have a good cry. What a complete whining baby, candy ass...etc.
So wait, let me just clarify... You WANT to keep taxes as they are, rather than cut them? A 1/3rd reduction in a tax rate is something you oppose?
