Who wants to be blamed for another downgrade in our credit rating? Until a plan to balance the budget is in place, we need to be ready to return to the real credit markets.

Cooke is very confused.. his optimizer is broke..
He has a broken optimizer... i.e. delusional optimist..

Putting a good “Spin” on Boehner or McConnell is AGITPROP..
We don’t need a Third Party....

WHats needed IS A SECOND PARTY...
Boehner and McConnell have financed ALL of Obama’s projects..
ON PURPOSE.. Cooke is part of the problem... (OR a shill)..

The 5 year long, lopsided power struggle still continues on the now shredded Congressional Field of Battle in the District of Corruption, along the muddy banks of De Nile River.

The single simple goal of the much-praised Left Team, also called “Democrats,” as stated by their team captain B. Hussein Soetoro-Obama is to “Fundamentally change the United States of America.”

Even today, after five very long years of Obamanation, their hatred of the former United States of America can still be detected in the arrogant, and always deceitful, teleprompter speeches of their Top Leaders: President Jarrett; Gestapo General Holder and BoyToy Dictator Soetoro-Obama.

The multiple, and very complex goals of the Right Team, as yet unstated but consistently acted out by Special Wrongway RINO Defense Squad Co- Captains John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Pete Roskam is to DO NOTHING that will irritate the Left Team.

The Right Team is also known by the name “Republicans,” a nostalgic name from a long-past time when there was “Liberty and Justice for all.”

The Left Team has a single Offense Squad with All Democrat Stars from many Schools of Higher Government Learning, to name just a few:
* Department of Gestapo Justice, (DOGJ);
* National Spy On U., (NSOU);
* Interrogate Ream Sue U., (IRSU)
* Reid Barrycade Senate Universal, (RBSU).

The Left Team always runs down the Congressional Field of Battle together, and has been admiringly nicknamed “ District of Corruption, United.”

The Right Team has NEVER allowed the younger, highly-skilled Constitutional Offense Squads onto the Congressional Field of Battle, due to well-timed and strongly worded objections from many RINO luminaries such as Loser Emeritus, “Wacko Birds” McCain.

After a recent weekend, group-hug, bonding session, many caucus meetings, and private deal-making, Lead Co-Captain John “Doormat” Boehner picked up the ball on February 11 th, and ran up the Congressional Field of Battle to score a goal for the Left Team.

Thanks to the quick RINO Defensive actions of “Wrongway” Boehner and his ‘gang of 27,’ an additional 1 to 4, (nobody is really sure), TRILLION taxpayer dollars will be added to the National Poverty Debt Game Clock.

Co-Captain “Wrongway” Boehner was assisted by 27 Members of the Special Wrongway RINO Defense Squad.

All of their team effort comments to the Left Stream Media were hopeful, but guarded.

The journalists with the Left Stream Media surprisingly did not ask if “Wrongway” Boehner would receive an engraved invitation for a gratitude lunch with Toy-Boy Dictator Soetoro-Obama.

Needless to say, “Wrongway” Boehner and his ‘gang of 27’ made no contact with any of the Left Team Members.

Most of the Left Team so-called “opponents,” (wink, wink), generally approved of the marginally satisfactory speed at which “their best friend across the aisle” ran to score the goal that “Most SENSIBLE Americans agree with.”

Time will tell if donations of time and money given to the Special Wrongway RINO Defense Squad, (SWRDS), will increase or decrease before the Championship Game in November, 2014.

Reporting live from the now snow covered, shredded Congressional Field of Battle, along the muddy banks of De Nile River is y’alls Free Republic reporter Graewoulf, signing off on this Global Cooling, Valentine’s Day.

there is little that either man could have done differently

While that is literally true, the fact is that different Men in those positions could have a great deal more leadership qualities, more imagination how to deal with the leftists, and less mouse qualities, that the current occupants of the two offices, speaker and minority leader, happen to have.

Budgets and continuing resolutions, remember, still need the agreement of the Senate and of the president

Not so. The House is the sole owner of the power of the purse, and as such, either propose a new direction, or they shut things down. The House is the people's voice, but they are acting as the POSOTUS/Reed(sic)'s voice instead.

Budgets and continuing resolutions...

What we have now, lasting for the next 13 months, is NO budget, NO continuing resolution other than having NO cap whatsoever on the debt. The feral govt can spend WHATEVER it wants, without any voice from the people, the taxpayers, GOP-e, and certainly the GOP-TP. If the feral govt wants to raise the debt to $20 Trillions, so be it. If it deems to raise the debt to $200 Trillions, so be it as well. Makes no difference to the spenders... it is owed by our children and our children's children. And we all will bear the brunt of a collapse.

The thin shrill call of the mortally wounded, obsolete RINO could still be heard throughout the Land:

” - - - If you follow an all or nothing strategy you usually end up with nothing! - - - “

While on Cruz Mountain is heard:

“THOSE WHO STAND FOR NOTHING WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING ! “

A nauseating and prolonged pep talk for the “Me Too” party. 2nd Place is 1st Loser. All indications are the GOP is content to remain so.

McConnell has been in the Senate since 1985, but we're supposed to leave him alone because he "steered us right for a few months now?"

Sorry, NR, but the GOP is no more! It has ceased to be! Its expired and gone to meet its maker! Its stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! Its metabolic processes are now ‘istory! Its off the twig! Its kicked the bucket, its shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARTY!!

We’re saving our money to throw a party when McCrap and Bonehead assume room temp.

To: Earthdweller; All

As Americans, WE are used to patiently, and silently waiting for solutions to problems to come from the top down.

This lazy attitude has been the basis for most Corporate and Political Management structures in America for most of OUR History.

WE now have the ultimate in lazy, top-down, political structure: a rouge dictator whom WE allow to be above OUR Constitutional Law.

WE will continue to have the current Obama Dictatorship as long as the Chief Impeachment Official, ( CIO ), the Speaker of the House, is allowed by US to permit Obama to continue as a OUR Dictator.

In all of Obama’s public statements, he has told the truth to US only twice:
1.) “We are only five days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America.”

and

2.) “I have a pen and a telephone, and I will use them to issue Executive Orders whenever Congress fails to act.”

Obama has thus defined himself to be OUR Dictator, and formally gave US fair warning of his intentions to do so.

For reasons that border on High Treason to the United States of America, Boehner as Speaker of the House, has failed his Constitutional Duty to begin Impeachment Proceedings on B. Hussein Obama.

The Members of the US House of Representatives have refused to force Boehner to resign; then to elect a Speaker with the required Sense of Honor to do his/her Constitutional Duty to begin Formal Impeachment Proceedings on B. Hussein Obama.

If WE, the taxpayers, do not force the Members of the US House of Representatives to replace Boehner as Speaker with a new Speaker that will issue the necessary Articles of Impeachment on B. Hussein Obama, then WE, the lazy, silent majority taxpayers, deserve to continue to have OUR Liberties crushed by Dictator Obama.

The future of OUR Republic is, as always, in OUR hands.

DONT TREAD ON ME

Even progressists leftists brag that we voted for Bush who happens to find progressism popular becuase “he started all those Obama languages of stimulus and other legislations”, making conservatives the black sheeps.

It is obvious the GOPe is seeking liberal votes during primaries stabbing conservatives and their language in the back.

Jeb Bush is also paid by authoritarianists at Johnson And Johnson to favor common core to prevent competition and quashe down people who would jump through the hoops outside the box.

My, what would be America today if the Founders thought that way, it would be England, nay, Germany.
