We need a new Speaker. Someone who knows how to make Obama and his theory look stupid. It's not enough to say "Raising taxes is bad". It has to be explained to the American people WHY it is a bad idea and make Obama look like an idiot.
Well, the last I heard Boehner agreed that the rich need to pay more.
We've lost the argument because we do not have anybody articulate to be speaking to the American people. Problem is, too many people are in Congress claiming they are against raising taxes solely to keep a campaign promise but deep down inside they really have no idea how the whole theory works. To them it's just a shallow campaign promise. Nothing more.
Next week the unemployment checks stop. Boehner will get blamed for this and everything else. Blaming the republicans for the fiscal cliff has been a goal of the democratic party. They are clearing the way to take over the House in 2014. It appears they will take it.
According to the news, the democrats won big in November yet EVERY news event since has somehow been the blame of the republicans from Hurricane Sandy to the School Mass Murders and the recent northeast snowstorms.
The republicans do not deserve to keep the House in 2014. If I feel this way as much as I dislike Nancy Pelosi then millions of others do too.
At this point I see the democrats with a super majority come November 2014. Hey, I give them this - they worked hard for it.
Boehner should have been replaced long ago. Obama's no longer the problem. It's the people who allow Obama to keep acting with these tactics that's the problem.
The GOP has failed America as much as the democrats have destroyed it.
A pox on both their houses!
Dude. Seriously. It's her bill Boehner is proposing...
"At this point I see the democrats with a super majority come November 2014. Hey, I give them this - they worked hard for it."
Puh-leez. Don't be a Freetard like the handwringing bedwetters that lost their collective sh!t after 2008, then hid under the covers before the 2010 GOP Tsunami...said it couldn't happen. Short memories make me laugh.
"Obama's no longer the problem. It's the people who allow Obama to keep acting with these tactics that's the problem."
What, his base? The barely 400K votes in 4 states that put him over the top? You're going to poop yourself over that? Grow a pair...
Republicans = Goldstein (1984)
“Boehner should have been replaced long ago. Obama’s no longer the problem. It’s the people who allow Obama to keep acting with these tactics that’s the problem.

BINGO - what a great post.
Even more so. Unlike Democrats, Republicans knew that printing up new money to fund government was wrong, yet they did it any way.
