Shortly after multiple networks projected that Republicans would retain control of the House, Speaker John Boehner took to the stage with a message that looked ahead to the battle over the fiscal cliff - the GOP isn't budging on taxes.

"With this vote, the American people have also made clear that there is no mandate for raising tax rates," Boehner told supporters at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington.

Boehner still thinks he’s relevant and that the Republic lives. O will just rule by E.O. Who needs congress?

That's right!

Not to worry the Republicans gained greater control over the House of Representatives! They will thwart every move by Obama to redefine America and discard our Constitution!

"With this vote, the American people have also made clear that there is no mandate for raising tax rates,"

..."unless, of course, President Obama has other ideas, in which case I'll fold in a flash. Oh, damn! This is all so hard....Does anyone have a tissue?"

I don’t think he’ll do a damn thing.

If the House doesn’t budge, Obama will ignore them and issue executive orders.

If Boehner folds like an accordion, which is what he’ll probably do, the legislation gets passed.

Either way, Obama gets what he wants.

But always gives in when the chips are down.

Yeah, right Bonehead. The GOP house will be running in two years and His Excellency will take the next two years to blame everyone who does not go along with his ideas as the reason for the coming failures. Frankly Mr. bottle tan looked a bit wilted even though he will pick up a few house seats. Bottom line, where the real damage will be done, from the Oval office and a complicit and stronger Dem Senate, just waiting for a few more supreme ct appointments for the final nails, it is over. His speech kind of reminds me of a guy at the end of the football game after his team lost pointing to the stats and saying but we outgained you in the yardage. Scoreboard is all that counts and right now, we are 0 for 2, to a socialist anti Christ no less. BTW, I hope bonehead noticed that two virtual commies, one in Wisconsin and one in Massachusettes won terms in the Senate. Say goodnight Gracie.

I doubt Obama will ask for tax hikes.

He’ll probably just use executive orders.

We need to primary every RINO in Congress starting with Boehner.

I am actually feeling like we should give this commie everything he wants, and let the system collapse. We aren’t that far.

Now I want to cry just like Bohner, superficially like him but for a different reason, this is the end of the republic and the beginnings of an empire...

John Boehner is part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

As is the entire GOP-E that is culpable for enabling the mess that the Democrat Party has made out of this country.

Yet the GOP-E, enabled by the votes of conservatives who were once again persuaded to ‘vote for the R’, remains as entrenched as ever.

Divorce is the only solution. We need a conservative party.
