RE :”I could follow his argument a lot better if he would use actual historical events for comparison instead of fatuous references to movies that I have never seen and never intend to see.”

How about this for a historical example:
2009 to 2010 the GOP in the total minority was able to stop Cap and Trade by creating and feeding opposition to it.
Even the NE RINOs stood firm.

Obama finally got O care as he had 60 in Senate but every NE RINO fearlessly voted against it because they made it unpopular.

GOP could start by comparing the differences then to the disastrous 2011 and 2012 and work on neutralizing or mitigating them so they can actually win a few.

Another suggestion : Stop being so $#%# predictable, O knows exactly what the GOP will do in reaction to him, in fact many times he blows the dog whistle to get the response he expects and wants so he can spring his well planned trap on them, again and again.

Anybody who thinks the GOP is on our side is delusional. It is crystal clear to me after these last 4 years that we are all being played by both the red and the blue team shell game. Democrats run the agenda and GOP are the scapegoat. GOP have had plenty of opportunity to stand and fight and chose to stand down. Even our Supreme Court gets slapped around and stands down. Jim DeMint knows this and finally threw in the towel. Nobody goes to jail or gets fired in Washington anymore unless you go against the agenda of course. We are all headed for 100 percent Government and Zero percent Freedom!

You have divined my meaning perfectly.

And when you have losers like this helping run the show, is it any wonder we’re in the mess we’re in?

I’ve enjoyed it while it lasted, but I am canceling my subscription to the “sicko” commentary.

Gopster will verify that I am here for cultural edification only. Sickofpolitics.

I must of added you because we were pinged together so many times, but I admit I didnt know you.

It seems we agreed on some basic facts about the latest tax bill, but yes most of your comments are not anything I have interest in either, they are not related to Rs vs Ds or what they are doing.

Yes. Women, pop culture and sports have filled the void left by ineptitude of both politicians and society.

RE :”Levin, I remember Hannity used to call him “the great one”. That about says it all.”

Hannity (and Rush) helped him move from a 770WABC (NYC) talk show host to a nationally syndicated one ~ 2003 to 2004. (that one NY suprstation station reaches to multiple surrounding states and on clear days I even get it here in Maryland.)

I was originally really attracted to his radio show lecturing and the constitution, and he was made out by them (or propped up as) to be the constitutional scholar, and you will see comments to that effect posted here, or him repeated here(I tune in Rush and him occasionally so I recognize their comments reposted here.).

But as time went on I noticed he regularly contradicted himself.
A week ago or so he was claiming a real ‘conservative’ would have beat Liz Warren in MA where Scott Brown couldn't. He threw Brown under the bus to make some larger point, and Brown made alot of tough votes supporting Rs Senators and deserves better treatment than that. He is no Grahamnesty.

I dont think he believes some of the stuff he says, he is too smart for that,
