We need to replace Boehner in 2012. He needs to be retired.

Leadership takes people with balls who will fight hard.

Boner has neither balls nor the desire to fight hard.

He sure cries a lot though.

Evil dems driving towards that brick wall at 100mph. The evil and might I add stupid republicans are doing it at 90mph.

This is what this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" has done consistently for decades now.

Boehner needs to go. Most of the current republican “leadership” leaves lot to be desired.

Once again the Democrat Senate is "DO NOTHING" and hasn't passed a budget in years.

This isn't Boehner's fault.

Heh.

After careful consideration of MY three favorite candidates (General Zod, Darth Vader, and Cthulhu), I’ve decided to go with Cthulhu in 2012.

General Zod is exceptionally intelligent, and has a solid military background, but he does a certain arrogance about him-a disdain for the average joe; Darth Vader has proven himself time and time again to be not only a take-charge leader (Order 66) and personally courageous (the Battle of Yavin), but I believe he sometimes lets his emotions cloud his judgment (turning to the Dark Side of the Force, killing his boss and Master).

Cthulhu on the other hand has simply promised that if you vote for him (and worship him, and dance and slay around idol-topped monoliths in lonely places) that he will eat you first when he moves the nations capitol from Washington D.C. to R’lyeh. And seeing as how typically, most elections really are “voting for the lesser of two evils” as your bumpersticker aptly put it, might as well vote for the greatest evil of them all. Face it; Cthulhu is so evil, he makes the Devil himself look a Sunday-school teacher from small-town Nebraska.

And I must admit, lately I’ve been having the damnedest dreams. Places where the geometry’s all wrong, shifting colors, atonal music piping down from those vast empty places between the stars, that sort of thing.

Cthulhu 2012!! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!!

You have cobwebs in your brain. So, its better for all of us for this country to totally slip into tyranny? Is that your way of misguided thinking? How sad and stupid.

A 3rd party only helps the DEMS remain in power. Regardless of your logic - it doesn’t work - never has and never will. How many years would it take for a 3rd party to be successful? This country won’t last that long. It sure is nice to have pie-in-the-sky dreams, but, that’s what they are - dreams - not reality!

The balanced budget had nothing to do with Ross Perot. It was Newt and the Republicans in Congress who managed that. I’m surprised at some of the warped thinking on this forum. Ross Perot dropped out of the race, once he divided the Republican vote which insured Clinton a win - and was never to be heard from again. Possibly, he was a Clinton supporter who did his job very well. I heard Michael Savage say that Ross donated to the Clinton campaign.

Anyone know if he’s being primaried? I’m in Ohio, but,he isn’t in my district. My Congress critter votes lock, stock and barrel with Boehner - and will probably get re-elected again - sad to say!

My goodness. Were you alive in ‘92? Dole and Co. had no interest. Remember “He’ll have his honey moon but I’ll be his chaperone”? Perot made the case for the balanced budget with weekly 1/2 hour network buys and got people behind him. It was Newt and Co. that carried it out.

How much is Newt talking about a balanced budget today? Nada. It’s all “grow our way out of it”, “Lean Six Sigma”, “No right wing social engineering” and other BS.

Here, I looked up Newt’s issues page for you http://www.newt.org/solutions . The deficit doesn’t even merit a mention.

My brain has not forsaken freedom. So, you think it better to slip into tyranny at a slower pace? Is that your way misguided thinking? You are the person the Republicans are betting on - the ones that will choose to accept tyranny at a slightly slower pace and with a slightly different flavor to it.

I bet in the 1700’s you would have been pushing to accept slightly less oppression, maybe a comprimise or two, and maybe a new group of governors to simply put a new face on the old system.

Our forefathers accepted nothing but total change - not a lesser of two evils. You would have thought them sad and stupid, too I bet.

Your rebellion against Obamacare is Romneycare? And I am sad and stupid?

So in other words, just sit back, let the moderates, liberals and RINO’s (all one in the same) call the shots...pick our candidates, tell us to vote for them because that’s what’s good for us and go on with our lives as usual? Nope, don’t think so... I’m tired of being taken for granted and I don’t think I’m the only one. :(

“This is what is so depressing. The 2010 elections appear to have been meaningless and the 2012 elections, including the election for president, are shaping up to guarantee more of the same.”

With Romney as President, Boehner as House speaker, and McConnell as Senate Majority leader nothing will be done to slow the rate of spending and the financial collapse of the nation.

We don’t have to sit back and allow the libs to pick our candidates, however, only one person is going to get the nomination. THat’s a fact - Jack! We’ll either vote to end the obama regime or we’ll wind up with another 4 years of obama going totally rogue, and further destroying our beloved country.

No, I’m not a Romney supporter, and yes, we do have to get rid of obama. We may not have a choice depending upon how the primaries turn out. IF we don’t get a true conservative, hopefully, like Ronald Reagan said - we’ll get someone who is 80% on our side, and that’s better than zero who is 100% against us. Yes, your thinking is flawed and misguided. I’m hopeful we get a conservative as the nominee, but, things aren’t looking too good right now, are they? One must be honest about the dire straights we find ourselves in.
