Boehner is a loser, and the House Republicans were spineless jackwagaons for reelecting the feckless jerk. He’s squandering whatever advantages we have!

Voters are smart.

A premise disproved by the recent Presidential election.

“Voters are smart.”
********
I admire Kudlow and watch him every night. But it amazes me how he can make this statement. The long list of knaves, scoundrels, crooks, and phonies that the people of this country elect to high office says otherwise. And our self-inflicted massive and unsustainable deficit and debt are additional proof. The average American voter is a naive fool.

This is their last chance for me. If they cave on either the debt ceiling or gun control, I’m changing my registration.

I truly believe that the Repulsicans are dead.

Period.

Just as with an plane in full stall, we may have to lower the nose and accept an altitude loss whilst we jettison these b*stards and get some real men and women who have morals and actually have done things.

And, yup, I still love Sarah....who accomplished more in her Alaska governorship than the b*stard-in-chief/felon/dork is done in his (its) “voting present” sorry-*ssed lifetime.

“Boehner is a loser, and the House Republicans were spineless jackwagaons”
******
Boehner is indeed a loser, and therefore an ideal “leader” for the House Republicrats who talk a good game but always folds in the end like a cheap lawn chair. They are simply not up to competing against the vicious infighters that the Democrats are.

In a rare case of competences and conviction, Scott Walker stood up to the Dems and their union thugs — and won big. Too bad the rest of the spineless Republicrats can’t follow his example.

I’m done with the Republican Pary.

RINOs deserve to lose. Bhoenehead will then be disgraced and forced to retire.

Let obama/soetoro have at it. He`ll do the the neo-marxist democrat party what bhoenehead is doing to the RINOs

This makes no sense to me:

“So Republicans can persuade the public about bold spending cuts. They can make it their key message and central marketing strategy. If they don’t, they risk losing the House in 2014.

Voters are smart.”

Voters are smart? They just reelected the biggest spender in US history.

If voters are so smart, why would they turn the House over to Nancy Pelosi again, giving the Rats control of both the House & Senate, knowing full well that the Rats will NEVER cut spending.

Now, I understand why conservative voters would be mad if the House continues to cave in to the Rats, but giving Rats control of the House & Senate IS caving in to the Rats by the voters - same thing they seek to avoid.

Pubs may be doing a lousy job of stopping Obama, but giving him a Rat dominated House & Senate is apparently what the voters want if that becomes the case.

All last year we heard & read of such negative numbers against Obama. They all proved to be BS when it came election time. So, I'm doubtful when I hear of 68% want spending cuts. The election says to me that 50%+ of voters think spending is just fine.

The Demoncrat/Media Complex has perfected election fraud to the point that it would not be a surprise to see them “win” a House majority nearing 400 seats.

Why is it that, whenever the Left gets its way and pushes through damaging policy, the Right takes the hit whether they stop it or let it happen?

Actually, the Dems are in the process of allowing us to keep the House, given their gun-grabbing talk going on.

...it’s already changing people around me.

Your still giving them chances? Time ran out for that a long time ago. It is obvious that the GOP leaders are Democrats.

Neither party is more likely to cut spending if you judge from history
