House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) called it "critical" to avoid automatic spending cuts and tax-rate increases that could go into effect if Congress does not agree on a deficit-reduction plan.
Boehner's call during the weekly Republican address came after a week in which Republicans and Democrats moved away from focusing on Tuesday's presidential election and toward immigration reform and a deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff."
Boehner urged Congress to begin action on job creation and deficit reduction.

I think the only people that still listen to that show are cat ladies and people too lazy to switch the dial after Rush.
The moochers in this country will never vote for a republican, so forget about them. We want to energize folks that truly believe government is the problem, because it is. They need to quit using phrases like "working across the aisle" and they need to ignore the pundits. If they don't, they will never win another election again.
It was a mandate for Boehner to resign as Speaker. He is no leader.
The left’s idea of bipartisanship is us signing on to their agenda. Our approach should be the same. I’m happy to work with them as long as they’re signing on to our agenda.
I was thinking along the same lines. In an interview he went weepy about giving the children of America a chance. A real man would tell Obama that what he is doing is going to strip America’s children of any chance of having rewarding futures. A real man would tell Obama that before he would sacrifice the future of America’s children, he would shut down EVERY STINKING federal agency first. But that’s what a real man would do. Boehner? Weepy and creepy. Not a real man.
My guess is that tons of Obama voters have no idea about what a debt ceiling is, what going over the cliff is, what a federal debt and deficit is, what the GNP is, etc. All they are concerned about is getting free EBT cards and the free Obamaphone, along with extended unemployment benefits with no work requirement. Rush is right- they voted for Santa Claus.

Outstanding. Anything I can say, Levin can say better!
Any third party attempts must me limited to select house races, state legislative races, school boards, treasurers etc.
Any attempt to challenge the GOP on a grand scale will be crushed. Better to snatch the occasional house race and caucus with the GOP conservatives while building our brand.

House Speaker John A. Boehner, one of the most hard-line members of Congress on immigration, now says that comprehensive reform – which includes a pathway to legalization for the undocumented -- will be a priority in 2013.
Speak John A. Boring needs to be CHALLENGED by someone who is from the TEA PARTY (if he wins the re-count, I'd say Allan West. If not him, Paul Ryan!!) 35 posted on Saturday, November 10, 2012 12:06:39 PM by

we conservatives are the RINO’s I guess. We have no place in the GOP. We mistakingly believed this party was an alternative to the Democrat Party but it is really an arm of the Democrat Party
I don’t think Obama thinks its the end of the world if tax rates go back to where they were before Bush. His preference is for a huge voting block - say 60% - to pay no taxes and lock in power. But I think he can live with Clinton era tax rates.
As a result Obama is in a much better negotiating position. Boehner is between a rock and a hard place.
If we had a warrior in Boehner’s job he would be wise to hold strong. Better Clinton era tax rates than allow dems to permanently lock in even more power. It does hurt the economy as does ObamaCare. But Obama gets the blame. Yes he will try to blame Republicans. But this admits that lower Bush tax rates for <250K was actually a good thing and Clinton era rates were too high. so he has a problem there.

Dear Senator:
(To Your Representative: )
The Honorable (full name)
(Room #) (Name) House Office Building
United States House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative:
My name is (insert name). I live at (insert address) end of paragraph. My credential are (list credentials). (Or for someone like I am.) I am a citizen of the United States.
(Honorable name of representative or Senator), today I write a request. I voted our last election and voted for you during the time of your running for elective office. Today, I write with many others. We are like minded and want what is best for our nation. This past November 6, 2012 taught me lessons. To return to Conservatism and to restore our nation, am humbly requesting my proposal be a consideration by those of like-mindedness within the body of Congress of the Republican Party. This proposal is extreme, though necessary for future generations running within the Republican Party to attain office. I pray my letter has not made file thirteen, for I propose the following. Allow the economy to crash. Back away from legislation by voting “present”. Tell the people elections have consequences, before and after voting “present”. The democrats won. Allow the democrats to take the blame for the coming crash. My children and grandchildren are depending upon your votes to secure for our future generations a chance to be Americans once more. Americans are resourceful. We will survive, if we are Americans, and not destine to become a dependent class of peoples. Your votes will make the difference. I humbly request the vote of “present” on all matters involving spending of taxpayer dollars. The economy will most certainly crash. Then America will rebuild. Americans are a proud and free people, and resourceful. Guard the door of our nation with our military, and Americans will sort this matter out. Your votes for freedom will ensure a better tomorrow. The dependent class will suffer. All Americans will suffer. Our suffering is ongoing at this point. I do not embrace the coming suffering, but know is a necessity for building a free people. I will embrace the suffering if Americans (all Americans) can be equal not in monetary blessings but instead equal in the blessings of freedom.
Request is to vote “present” on all legislation regarding funding of said/ any legislation. Allow the economy to crash. Further request, as was above, the freedom to guard our interior of our nation by our Law Enforcement. With military cuts looming, as will be the democrats compromise, give the men and women guarding our borders and our peoples the opportunity to do what they do best. Doing what is done best is being an American.
Sincerely,
(Your name here)
Boehner if the GOP becomes known as the job creating party for the working middle class, they will triumph in 2016. Republicans win when people make good money working for private industry. When times are bad, voters turn to Democrats.
Republicans have to increase the acceptance of their brand name. Right now they are the job exporting, Obama hating, tax cuts for the rich, low approval Congress, women controlling and screwers of the middle class. How has that worked out for winning?
Time for the Republicans to go “Scorched Earth” let the Rats own the collapse.
Stupid Boner. He won and retained control of the US House, yet he acts as if he lost.
What happened with this?

Can Boehner be blackmailed by the leftys? Do we really want this man as Speaker of the House— he’s already acting as if he runs the whole enchilada and none of the other representatives matter.
I can’t stand the man.
