Repeal Elections for McConnell and Boehner or Just Resign as Sorry "Leaders?"

The last non-Socialist Leader in the US Federal Government caved in last night to the Socialist-Democrat Wing of the once proud Democrat Party. Yep, ol' Boehner-Head finally cut all pretense of protecting the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY folks from the terrible damage done to America by the Socialist-Democrats led by Chairman Obama, "Bottleneck" Reid and of course, certifiably brain-dead, Ex-Bottleneck, Princess Nancy.

All of this could have been avoided if Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell had not joined the Socialist-Democrat Party and caved in to "Bottleneck" Reid on the payroll 2/3 tax "deal." Pay 2 month taxes on a quarterly basis. Yep, both Mitch and Boehner are either cowards or stuck on stupid. In my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion, it is both for each of them.

Now that there is no one in the District of Corruption to protect America, it is up to us to stop the destruction that is Obamanation.

Should the sorry Congressional "Leaders," McConnell and Boehner resign their LEADERSHIP positions in 2011, or should repeal elections be held in early 2012 to put them in a more honest profession, such as used car salesmen?

McConnell has to go. He screwed the country in the summer and he screwed the country now. He back stabbed the House twice. He must go. He is Reid's second favorite poodle, second only to Obama.

I simply don't get Boehner. He has the ability to talk the talk and correctly define the issues before the American people. But when faced with even the hint of pressure, he folds like a house of cards. This latest episode defies logic. The GOP House had effectively won. They had correctly pointed out that it was the Senate that had not done its job, and that they were sitting there waiting on the proper course of events to take their course. Obama was looking like an absolute fool in front of the American people, so much so that he had his dog flown back from Hawaii just so he could use him in a photo-op. Yet once again, the GOP snatches defeat out of the jaws of victory.

McConnell is completely worthless. He might as well go ahead and switch parties since he is working for the other side already. It was McConnell that did Obama and Reid's bidding for them.

I say Boehner first, and Cantor. McConnell would never have sent the bill over to the House if he had any idea Boehner could not get it passed. Boehner is inept and incompetent, he may as well polish up that gavel because the way he’s going, he’ll be turning it back over to Nancy Pelosi before long. (Who was FAR more effective in doing the job of Speaker than he is!)

The point of having a Majority is to be able to rally your troops and get things done. Boehner and Cantor are utter failures at that - they’ve screwed up every time they’ve tried. Name one time when Boehner’s great ideas of standing up to the Dems and Obama has worked...just one time!

I am beyond words to describe how ridiculously incompetent these guys are. 11% approval rating? That’s about 10 points too high. To have screwed this up as badly as they have and then come crawling back on their bellies after giving Obama everything he could ask for is grounds for resignation. Let someone with a brain run the House and maybe act like a majority party.

Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that, I was bent over assuming the position again.

“I simply don’t get Boehner. He has the ability to talk the talk and correctly define the issues before the American people. But when faced with even the hint of pressure, he folds like a house of cards. This latest episode defies logic.”

It does -not- defy logic if you accept the premise that the GOP is a FALSE FRONT. It is not a conservative party, it does not promote conservative or even libertarian principals. The GOP is to American Constitutional principles what Vidkun Quisling was to Norwegian national defense.

Accept the premise that it is all a charade and everything the GOP has done for the past decade or two is perfectly logical, consistent and indeed sophisticated.

We have been bamboozled.

I understand that McConnell is the Minority Leader, but come on! He’s got to show more backbone than that!

If only McConnell was as fierce as Pelosi was when she was Minority Leader in the House. Nice guys finish last.

” - - - McConnell is completely worthless. He might as well go ahead and switch parties since he is working for the other side already. It was McConnell that did Obama and Reid’s bidding for them. - - - “

In the eyes of this voter,
Mitch made the switch
when he chose not to oppose Reid.
(Why do we pay these turncoats anyway?)

Politicians judge themselves by what they say, but voters judge politicians by what they do.

Well...seems to me this just moves the same argument closer to the election itself. What else has changed?

I'm not purporting to know the political intricacies of this whole maneuver but if you delete the media in full cry and the wailing of the right wing then won't we really will be in the same place in 2 months? And then won't the GOP have the argument that this BS is because the rats refused to deal with it in Dec? In the end both sides will have to make the same arguments but w/o the Christmas holiday staring them down.

And honestly, how many Americans actually believe that we aren't in deep do do and it's the rat's who contributed the majority of the spending that put us here?

To the GOP
We should say:
Bamboozle us once,
Shame on you.

Bamboozle us twice,
Shame on us.

I say they accepted the Dem premise that this is a tax cut and were trying to extend it for a year, when it is a DEFUNDING of Social Security. A holiday from FICA was proposed to help the economy, but the time is up; now they want to extend it, the Dems are calling NOT extending it a tax hike, and the Repubs are accepting Dem language, as usual.

If they had any backbone, they would have said no deal. You dems are defunding SS when it is already going broke.

The Repubs simply cannot tell it like it is, maybe because they can't see it like it is.

Now, they are TEMPORARILY (yeah, right!) funding SS with a tax on new mortgages and refinancing, which will be paid Tah Dah!!! --by the haves, while the have nots will not pay a dime.

Looks like another ploy for Income Redistribution to me. Will FICA ever be reinstated? I doubt it. I also doubt the mortgage fee will make up the difference and more "fees" will be instigated elsewhere.

They have been farting around and taking heat over this while letting EPA close coal utilities, putting thousands more out of work and raising electric bills. They are letting the Admin and EPA/treehuggers keep the pipeline from being built and making thousands of jobs.

Are these "leaders" stupid, inept, don't give a fig, or on the shady side?

He pretty much nails the issue. I have posted it in the Bloggers and Personal area.

Businesses write Payroll (FICA) checks to the Feds on a quarterly basis. “Bottleneck” Harry the Reidy bad Senator figured out that if the government only delayed payroll taxes for two months it would cause great harm and confusion with the middle-class small businesses accountants (usually the owner).

Gullible Mitch trusted “his good friend” Reid, and made a “deal.” Reid knew that there are no Printed Government forms for fractions of a quarter, so that would require another supplement bill to pay for the printing of these new forms. Of course, pork-barrel amendments could then be easily added, and more “deals” made.

Gullible, trusting people, such as Mitchie and Jonnie, should never go into politics, as it causes us to be TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We know what Government does, so our job is to make Government as small as possible.

Whatever you do dont think about what leaders your going to replace your leaders with.....just keep getting rid of the leaders

Also Check out how much fun the French Revolution was.....and while your at it become a leader so someone can get rid of you.

McConnell would never have sent the bill over to the House if he had any idea Boehner could not get it passed.

Why should the House pass the Senate bill? The way it usually works is that the Senate bill and House bill are sent to conference to reconcile them and then the bill that comes out of committee is voted on by both Houses. The House passed its bill first.

The Senate hasn't passed a budget in over 900 days. They are so arrogant that they believe that if they pass a bill the House must take it or leave it. The Senate immediately left town after passing its version of the bill. The question is why did most of the Senate Reps vote with the Dems on a bill that was different from what passed in the Rep conrolled House?

it is a DEFUNDING of Social Security.

No, it’s a lowering of the payroll tax. Your money is taken from your paycheck and spent. It doesn’t go into a “trust fund” for your retirement. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. And the payroll tax is a tax like any other tax. If you want to pay more taxes, be my guest. I for one am glad that payroll taxes will be somewhat lower so I can save more of my own money.

[WilliamIII]

I say they accepted the Dem premise that this is a tax cut

I say they heard from a lot of Republican voters — like me — who said, what the H—, Republicans are going to OPPOSE a tax cut? Republicans are going to take $1000 out of my paycheck next year? That’s not why I vote Republican!

I am confident that House Republicans heard from a lot of voters like me — mad-as-hell, overtaxed GOP voters like me — and they felt they heat and saw the light.

Republicans Implementing Nuances Of Socialism...aka RINOS

These POS slimebags are laughing all the way to their next insider trade.

We could ask them nicely to resign, go back to their families, enjoy the rest of their lives...or 300+ million vs. 535.

More reasons why...

Legislatures (state and federal) could be part-time jobs with 1/10th pay, NO retirement, NO insurance, NO benefits and NO perks. These POS politicians can get a full time job doing something productive not progressive. Their part-time job could be spent DEFUNDING/DISMANTLING socialist collectives, foreign and domestic (our government in particular).

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Alter it.

Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task. - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
