Mitch McConnell should stop laughing and start laying out the framework for impeachment.

This seems to have become quite a major story. McConnell is now Greta Garbo in Ninotchka -- "McConnell Laughs!"

He laughs! He laughs out loud! In Geithner's face!!

Who the hell cares? Is this supposed to show that Republicans are "on to" the Democrats?? We know they are a joke? Their plan is ridiculous, and we're going to tell the world?

Who the hell cares? What are the Republicans prepared to do? I say that they are prepared to do nothing at all, except pretend to be outraged and to perform a little Kabuki theater about being an opposition party.

The Republicans need to stop laughing. They need to push Obama to be more Obama-like, and they need to vote "present" when the bad bills come up for a vote. Let the country's decline steepen. Put Democrat fingerprints all over it. If the Republicans try to provide any assistance in steering this ship, then 100% of the blame for the result will be on the GOP. Don't they see that?? Or are they too busy yukking it up?

Are those Medicare cuts of $400 Billion on top of the existing cuts of $716 Billion? Will ANY Medicare be left? The 'Free' Medicare Advantage PPO has already gone to $70 per person per month.

I have no doubts that the Dems will eventually get everything they want. The Republicans have been on the defense for the last 30 years and now they are on the ropes. How do you cut anything now without being painted as against children or unwed mothers or other such position.

To the average TV news watcher in this country, a laughing McConnell only appears as unwilling to work with Zero and the Dems to resolve the problem. “The Republicans only want to protect tax breaks for the wealthy!”

McConnell and “Bohner” are inept RINOs and need to be replaced with someone who can explain the issues to the public in terms that relate to their own lives and future.

"...Politicians are asking Americans to buy "framework..."

Okay, here is some valid framework" start by cutting the retirement for all government workers i.e., congress, senate, federal and union employees across the board. Require a cut in all tax-paid retirement perks and salaries. Make Government WASTE a top priority...might take a few years to lop off the free loaders now employed...check the basements of those imposing office buildings in D.C. for salaried gnomes who do nothing but remain on the pay-rolls for years. Entitlements? Waste and pension cuts go first!

Exactly what I’ve been saying for a long while.

Let it happen. Just stay out of the way. Don’t “moderate” the extremism of their plan by mocking a debate and concessions.

They want “bi-partisan” when they know their plan will fail and they want to be able to point the finger.

They want all the credit for any plan that shows success.

But Obammie and his Commies don’t want the success that the want. They want collapse.

They just want to be able to point the finger at the free market, at conservatives, at the GOP when it happens. This further demonizes our side and gives them the excuse they need for even greater power.

The Dhimmicrats have succeeded in framing and defining Republicans as “only FOR the RICH”. The “rich” are already paying the bulk of the taxes and no one in the Republican Party has ‘splained this to the 47% crowd that pay NO TAXES at all. Or that business owners have to and will PASS THE HIGHER TAXES down to them when they BUY something with that welfare check that the “rich” are already furnishing them.

All Republicans do is react. With that they continually lose.

I think that anyone who expects there to be any cuts to Medicare or Social Security had better be ready to go off the cliff.

I think everything else is on the table, but most of my friends and co workers are between 50 and 60 and *ANY* deal that means they receive less than the people a decade or two older is dead dead dead.

You want activism, try telling a 52 year old that they are not going to receive the same benefits that someone 10 years older is receiving or shortly will.

Used to be the the CPUSA and their COMINTERN buddies met in secret.

Now they are in your face, large, and in charge, from the WH to the local apparatchik at the county commission.

Any attempt to suppress domestic communism is now branded as hate speech or domestic terrorism.

The Republicans are useless.

It's time to start developing a strategy to cripple the marxists, and it must be done totally outside of the electoral process through acts of civil disobedience and counter propaganda, with sympathetic State Governors and legislators assisting in the process.

Alinski, Rules For Radicals.....

It should be remembered that you can threaten the enemy and get away with it. You can insult and annoy him, but the one thing that is unforgivable and that is certain to get him to react is to laugh at him. This causes irrational anger. — P.134-135

“Politicians are asking Americans to buy “framework,””

The real a$$-raping of the Obamacare framework hasn’t even kicked in and we’re being asked to go along with more?

McConnell just Alinskyited the doofus Geithner and the President with his unscripted laugh. Its the laugh heard round the world. I’m not sure McConnell knew what his laugh would accomplish, but I think it has been very powerful.

Remember Alinsky Rule 5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
