The House on Thursday approved a two-year budget deal that turns off $63 billion in sequester spending cuts, handing a major victory to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio.).

The country is lost. You know it, I know it. There is no turning it around, all the inertia is toward Rome.

Hope is all I can do.

My party hates my guts, my government is stealing the fruits of my labor and monitoring my cellphone. My vote isn't worth a bucket of warm p*ss anymore, and will be worth much less very soon.

So I'll just sit here, prepare myself, and hope.

The GOP is not concerned with doing the right thing. They just want to maintain their seat at the table. Big govt is fine with them. They just want to be the ones in power. Sad but true.

We need to primary every GOP-E candidate next year.
We need to have a palace coup within the GOP. If that fails,
we should go third party. The war for control of the GOP just got hot.
