The government takes in enough money every month to run the debts as we have them military payroll, social security, and etc..there just isn’t the money for extra spending and more free loader programs from the dems...

The EBT recharges I could give a hoot about. SS? I’d forego it. Military pay? They always threaten it as first priority....The big bugaboo three....in truth, Obama would NEVER not recharge EBTs or SS...and he couldn’t afford the flak on the military pay...he’d have to appease somehow.

“you that thinks anything with Republican on it is better than Democrat”

yes I do - the dems vote in a block - without a majority of dems we wouldn’t have ObamaCare, and we wouldn’t have Reid as majority leader....

So go ahead and help the dems... just like a lib

You know, why even post this stuff?

Boehner and McConnell are gonna fold. The GOPe will have ended the party by 2016 -- perhaps by 2014 when the Dems retake the House. We'll be treated to an all-network special of Queen Nancy parading through Congress with her giant gavel, grinning and laughing like The Joker from Batman. Boehner will gratefully retire to the back bench, reelected again by the same gelatine "Republicans."

In 2011 we said, "You know, with 24/7 news and a web that would carry our message throughout the nation to every household, we will crush the Rancid Media with the truth. Guess what? They crushed us through just plain better tactics (yes, including lies, slander and violence, but a win is a win) and an army of welfare Eloi who had all day to demonstrate for Obama while on EBT cards, ADC, Section 8, free daycare, and no annoying husbands or jobs to confuse them.

Today Obama said that he's going to do exactly what he wants to do for the next four years and anyone who doesn't like can go screw themselves. Because Repub leadership is like the feckless Marine lieutenant in "Aliens," he can just watch the unfolding disaster with incomprehension and wet trousers. There is no resistance without heroics, if that means sacrificing your good life and cocktail parties and low-wage illegal immigrant workers (sorry; it's true) and glamorous life in DC and All the Right Friends and a cushy lobbyist job when you've decided to retire from your lifetime seat in government... The Founders risked it all -- in their words, their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

It is execrable that the Left now has unlimited government money to hold rallies, terrorize children, beat-up opponents, and rent thousands of buses for protests, but we let that happen. We have jobs so we can pay for the 19,000 imaginary welfare recipients in Massachusetts that don't exist but get their checks anyway. And it won't be getting better any time soon. Collapse? More like watching the tide slowly destroy a sand castle.

Well, I hope you’re happy with McConnell and Boehner....

Some people just keep getting kicked in the head and jump back up for more. These RINOs need a “come to Jesus meetin” as my grandpa would say. Sometimes you have to wander the desert to find your heart.....you can’t do that in DC enjoying your second-tier power.

This is then treason.

Existing law and the Constitution says he cannot make law, only execute it.

When will the House file articles of treason?

Are you kidding me or are you actually defending Boner and McConnel? RINOs have no shame, just look at former RINO; Bill McCollum who went against FL Gov.Rick Scott.

Guess I forgot to mention that the rioting and gnashing of teeth would commence 15 minutes later (along with the starving child/senior citizen stories every 10 minutes on cable news)

That is the sad fact of the truth Mr. Newt learned the hard way.

You’re probably the same kind of idiot that voted for McCain gladly and as well as Romeny, spouting the same crap that we have to vote for a RINO in order to get more conservatives NEXT TIME.

I can’t argue with what you say in a sense of what probably wouldn’t realistically happen, but it doesn’t make me want to capitulate just because it is the likely outcome....

If you always play your hand with the cards up, You’ll never win the hand.

Isn’t surrender the only thing establishment RINOs know how to do? Guts, spine, and allegiance to core beliefs are alien concepts to them.

“We have to depend on our House to stop anything Obama wants to do.”

Thanks for at least saying “our” house and not “my” house as you’re coming across.

Gaffer...my apologies.

I was agreeing with you but I didn't phrase my post well.

The RINO should be the one who would entertain voting Democrat. Ridiculous.

“Are you kidding me or are you actually defending Boner and McConnel?”

So your another one ? Obama gets nailed with raising taxes on the poor and everyone else by 2% and your complaining because the Boehner and McConnell got the dems to vote for making the Bush tax cuts permanent? You listen to way to much TV.

“Well, I hope you’re happy with McConnell and Boehner...”

I’m not displeased although I wish things could move faster I’ll take making the Bush tax permanent for a start.

“Some people just keep getting kicked in the head and jump back up for more. “

I know you’re trying - and that’s the important thing.

If you can’t see we are getting thrown under the bus by the Republicans (who are really RINOs like Boehner and McConnell and a slew of others) as they cave on every issue and kiss Obama’s ring and giver reach arounds to those across the aisle, then you are just as bad as the DimRats

You said Boehner and McConnell are responsible for making the tax cuts permanent. I see that as a way where they caved, but more importantly, they are wusses that aren’t using thre media to fight back, they just bend over and take it year after year, and with this 2nd ammendment infringement neither one of these bozos are saying anything. These are the 2 biggest cavers we have in the Republican party and they have proved beyond doubt how big of RINO these guys both are.
