The Republican party is a dead party walking.
Lead by a brain-dead zombie that cries.
Shove it, Boehner...just declare yourself a dim-bulb-crat, you’rea already 90% there.
Yet ANOTHER FAT, DISGUSTING BASTARD from Past GOP-e’s oinks his “comment”!
I have said that the GOP should just vote "present" and allow Obama to do whatever he wants -- but put his fingerprints on absolutely everything, and not allow the Republicans to get blamed for anything. That's risky, and it might be stupid. But even stupider is to allow Obama to do whatever he wants and allow the Democrats to blame any disaster on the Republicans. That's basically what Boehner has achieved.
It's stunning.
GOP’s ability to lead?
What the f*ck is that supposed to even mean...
“Yet ANOTHER FAT, DISGUSTING BASTARD from Past GOP-es oinks his comment!”
Did not what he said make sense to you?
I don’t want to hear SH!T from the SOB after what he pulled from 1999-2006. He was one of the BIG reason’s we LOST the US House in 2006(Karl Rove Being ANOTHER)!
Denny is whitewashing the problem.
The Constitution says ALL spending bills MUST originate in the House.
That means if they don’t, they are by default NOT CONSTITUTIONAL. They are not following the process mandated by the Constitution. Therefore, they are inherently unconstitutional.
Denny it is hardly a matter of giving up leadership. It is blatantly unconstitutional. That bill is not lawful due to the way it originated. The Senate created it. Not the House. It’s a fundamental problem. The Senate is not given that governing power. Whehter the House doesn’t put forth a spending bill of its own or not.
This is the difference between giving lip service to the Constitution and doing whatever the hell you want, and actually FOLLOWING the Constitution, being both legally empowered to do only certain specific things, in certain, clearly spelled-out ways.
GOP ability to lead??? What a cruel joke!
The Constitution and the rule of law are obviously no more. The question is what to do about it. Early after the election the proposal was secession by the states. That’s an option that would lead to open Civil War.
What other options are there? Have they left us any other option?
I’ve thought of taping the section of “Princess Bride” where the old hag says, “Boo! Filth! Muck! Bow to her. Bow to the queen of putrescence. Boo!” (or something like that) so I can memorize it and use it every time a Congress-critter appears in public.
Think that would work? That’s about all they’ll let me do, right before they pull me away and throw me in jail for disturbing the peace... Is that what we the people have left as an option?
“Tuesday’s vote on the fiscal cliff compromise deal passed the House 257-167, but Republicans voted 151-85 against.”
Everything else aside, looks like he stuck the Democrats with responsibility for it, and on the Republican side he separated the sheep from the goats.
Constitutional government?....what a quaint idea................
Yep. Hassert tried to hide that pervert, Mark Foley.
Now I say that only after reading through Hastert's statement, but he's saying that between the lines ~ as is Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro ~ she knows all about those rules.
The Republic off Venice only had to retire on Doge for all the others through time to UNDERSTAND the grave responsibility of holding that office.
What threatens their ability to lead is their lack of leadership - at the risk of sounding tautological.
26 million Republicans didn't go to the nextelection and the Democrats won without even trying!
if you didn’t read my earlier post, scroll up ~ ‘cause that’s what Hastert is actually saying ~ as would virtually anyone who’d been Speaker of the House!
But on this occasion Hastert is right — and he’s taking the conservative view (compared to Boehner, anyway). Do you disagree with his criticism of Boehner? Seems to me that Hastert, for once, is acting in a NON-”establishment” manner.

Hastert’s exactly right.
Boehner thinks it a success when the majority of his caucus doesn’t have to vote ‘aye’ to pass a bad bill. He’s certifiable.
We’re toast.
