If most people in this country have embraced socialism, then we wouldn’t have a Republican congress. The House most accurately reflects the will of the people. The majority of the people reject the socialist democrats! Lean on your reps to act accordingly! Boehner should quit crying like a wimp and grow a set or resign and let someone with balls step up to defend our constitution and our liberty!!

Exactly. If we want to look at a country that is reclaiming its roots from socialist totalitarianism and starting to boom economically, look north of the border. For many decades, Canada was a joke. Now, look at its unemployment rate and the rate of change since the Conservative Party took charge. There are many things about Canada that we cannot and will not copy, but there is a political and economic philosophy that we would do well to consider.

Boehner would do well to reach out to Stephen Harper. I doubt that Harper would deal much with Obama except formally on matters of state. Boehner might come out of this with an ally - or Boehner's successor, at any rate.

From the FWIW department Jim. Am considering a let it crash attitude, and asking our House Representatives to help it by voting “present” to each and every spending measure brought to the floor of the House. Do I have the wrong attitude?

It's an encouraging thought.

I think though that because of districting this might not be the case. A good example is Reagan. He won overwhelmingly, but the House remained liberal. The popular vote for the POTUS is probably a better measure.

I'm with you that we have to fight. If it means that sequestration happens so be it. We need big gains in the Senate in 2016 and I don't think that will occur if Pubs roll over.

The problem with obamacare is we're stuck with it. The best we can hope for is fixing it around the edges and that is a self defeating exercise.
