We have two legislative bodies for a reason. The House has an enormous amount of power. But it takes a peron of determination and will, such as a Gingrich, to wield it. Boehner seems to have ceded all legislative authority and power to the senate and specifically, to Harry Reid. Reid can’t do crap without the House acting, either before or after the senate. The House conservatives need to have the balls to start voting down bills, and furthermore, sending to the senate, bills whose funding is well below the senate’s desired levels.

Leave the president completly out of it until the legislative process is oomplete. The Speaker of the House is a far more powerful position than the Senate Majority Leader. Boehner needs to be willing to use that power, or step aside for someone who is.

What is the job of the (R)s in Congress? They are the other faction in the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". In the end the elites get whatever they want & you lose your money & liberties.

I have no arguments with anything you stated, all factual. I was simply stating some other facts. Reid doesn't have any intention of cooperating, he simply does not care.

I see the root cause of this division pointing directly at 50+ years of conservatives being far too flexible. Only in the past 10-15 years have they finally started pushing back and digging in their heels. It does not work both ways for these people, they have a very successful method of distributing misinformation and painting conservatives with descriptions that mush-headed voters actually believe. I mean, some of this sh#$@ is downright ridiculous...

I mean, I'm a VERY conservative republican and I don't drag black people from the bumper of my truck and I'd stand in the path of anyone who thinks it's ok. I have no interest in "setting women back 100 years", I have no interest in telling them how to manage their bodies and reproductive organs... I don't bully homo's at work, I don't want poor people to starve, rich people to have 99.9% of all the wealth, I don't' want people to die for lack of healthcare, I don't hate people because of where they were born... this list is miles long and neither you nor I look like the picture these demons have painted.

But unfortunately, they have succeeded. They have done major damage to our country and our individual sovereignty all in the name of winning the football game. I mean, it is SO out of control, Obama could literally commit murder, admit it live on CNN and his polling numbers wouldn't change. Look at Jesse Jackson Jr. The man is a mental disaster, unable to serve anyone right now including himself. He's most likely committed several felonies and is under investigation for them... he just won an ELECTION.

I've completely lost faith at this point. It's not humiliating, its actually very sad. But the reality is, they now outnumber us and there is no reversing it. When blacks vote at a rate of 94% based on skin color, what are we to gain? People are uninterested in the final score, they only care about what they can get right now. Politicians see us as idiots, and for the most part, we are. We just re-elected a president who is projected to be running a 20 TRILLION dollar deficit by the end of his term and all they were interested in was Romney's dog riding on top of his car and what tax rate he paid on his personal income. Face it man, we are done.
