Boehner would never dream of refusing Dear Leader.

Why do we even have an opposition party?

The republicans WILL find enough traitors to give Obama his “shag the dog” war.

The question is; what will WE do about it?

This is a holy, biblical war that cannot be won any place in the Middle East. I wish the Muslim Brotherhood would invade Saudi Arabia and take it over. THEY killed 3,000 of our Americans and now are all for us invading Syria so we can fight their battles.

“Tell your representatives to vote present and throw the responsibility back on the Democrats.”

Exactly!

Some of us started pushing the present vote shortly after Obozo Liar told us last weekend in his Rose Garden, that he was asking Congress to approve his action.

If they aren’t stupid then they are making decisions either to boost their own bank accounts or to keep from being outed by something in their past by Obama. Whatever it is, it’s not in the interest of what’s best for America.

What’s best for America is about the last thing on their list of motivating factors.

Realistically the republicns in Congress, lead by the Tea Party republicans, need to hold a vote of no confidence with Boehner and Cantor. That would show how out of touch the leadership really is.

"Dandiegirl" already posted the number for Speaker Boehner.

If you're serious call and LET HIM KNOW WHERE YOU STAND as an American.

Clinton was good, but this guy may be better when it comes to pure flat-out political manipulation.

You mistake the slavish devotion of the MSM for talent. Both Bill Clinton and Obama have the devotion of the MSM, though Obama has it in spades over Clinton. You can get away with almost anything given the absolute support of the MSM. (just consider Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the "Arab Spring")

I cannot help but wonder how much of the support he gets from Republicans is pure blackmail. With the NSA, CIA, and IRS in his hands, and knowing that the MSM has his back, why wouldn't he use blackmail to get Republican support? I am certain that this regime has no *moral* qualms about it.

This could very well be the issue that gives rise to that third party so many here have been craving...

A third party guarantees a Democrat administration out as far as the eye can see.

What we need to do is to take over the Republican party and put in new leadership that is cannot be blackmailed by Obama and Chicago mob.

I get a load of GOP-E “crappola” in the mail with postage paid return envelopes. I’ve started sending them back with a big “Go To Hell and take your boys 0bama, Boehner, McLame & Lindsey with you” written on their donation pleas.
