No longer matters.
Why waste the bandwidth?
Just be glad we’re armed, ‘cuz we’re gonna need it when the crash comes.

Whatever it takes to kick the can, again. This who thing is just a temporary deal; it will play out again. Theater of the absurd.

The GOP is useless since it has so few conservatives. Most of this party is made up of liberals who we call RINOs. America is finished since their is no real opposition to the communists takeover. Bonehead has no guts and that is expected since the party is finished.

The Great American Spendathon continues. And yes, a crash is coming.

Why do you say it no longer matters? Has Boehner broken the Hastert Rule yet?
If he is going to do it, then the republican caucus can hold a meeting before the vote comes to the floor, and they can vote in a new Speaker. I think Boehner knows this.
So this just may be Chicago Sun Times joining with all the other bought and paid for liberal media engaging in wishful thinking.

He will break it.
There should be a walk out of conservatives and a call for a vote of no confidence (I don’t know if they can do that in the House, if it is a parliamentary thing or what.)
I would rather see Pelosi as Speaker. At least we would know where we stand.
[Not really. I am using an extreme point to make my argument.]

Banking is a funny thing when it comes to the nation’s debt. When a pause happens to consider getting the fiscal house in order, there is the downgrade threat, but keep spending like drunken sailors (no offense to drunken sailors) and everything is ok. I just don’t understand it.

Agreed a crash is coming. The question is when? Does the dow see 17k first? 18K? Is the crash in two years? Is the crash in 5 years? Or 6 months.... We have to understand the reality and make a plan to be successful. Reality??? The bible says it's gonna all crash down. We know it is. We have to come up with the right exit strategy, and the right strategy to be successful in a post democratic (socialist) world that is coming.
I'm not saying we give up. We still vote on principle. We still campaign for "right".... in hopes of delaying what we know is the inevitable.

Boner is an EMBARRESMENT ! .. and needs to be replaced !
All House legislation submitted to the Senate has been "pocket vetoed" by Dingey Harry Reid ,
as it has been "DEEMED " unacceptable by Harry.
Even Harry Reid has not been villianized by McLame and the other rHINOS (elite ),.. so much for the Senate being a place of " Debate " .
It is time to take names , and Boehner is at the top of the list to be replaced !

As I’ve said many times before, the Hastert rule was designed to silence conservatives. When Hastert was speaker, the majority of the majority were still old-guard, establishment repulicans. So they were able to say “sorry little Jimmy Conservative, your proposal doesn’t have majority support so we’re not going to take that up”
But in 2006, some thirty republicans either retired or were defeated, and another thirty in 2008. Then these were replaced with conservatives in 2010.
So the majority of the majority is now conservative, so naturally the Hastert rule has been out the window for the goal is always to thwart conservatives and conservatism.

The "Hasert Rule " is designed for expediancy ,
not for rational debate or discussion .

I'm So freakin pissed Its unreal!!! And don't tell me to wait until election time....BULLCRAP! This country is so fked because there r no more men of honor or balls ...it used to be that men would die for their children's future... I guess that in the past. There are no men left to lead the charge for the sake of country or family. If we did there would be such an outcry in the land we would gather up pitchforks and March straight to Washington and surround the White House and kick them ALL out of our house! They won again!!!!!! Words leave me..

Its not difficult to understand. Morgan Chase and the like are up 30% this year. Banks like us printing money. We give it to them so they can loan it out etc.
I had a little bit of money in a Detroit Municipal Bond. It was insured. Like 5k worth. Broker calls a few months back and says "you need to get out of this". I said... "its insured". He says "yeah... well the company that has it insured has a lower credit rating than the city of Detroit".
How does that happen? We have to understand the game, the reality, where this country is going... and formulate a plant to be successful in the new paradigm.

Of course he will. Hastert Rule is forever dead. As is the GOP.
