Why is CHIP up for reauthorization? DeathCare takes care of children to age 21+, so they are covered. This seems like another of those programs that are never allowed to die. Like the temporary tax on telephones that was still being collected after 100 years and was supposed to pay for the war. The Spanish-American War.

Pelosi would never work with republicans against any in her party. Democrats are committed to moving radically leftward and republican leadership is committed to facilitating that shift.

WTF makes Republicans feel inferior???

Yes, they are and they are also as much to blame for the dictator Obama as Obama himself. The Constitution clearly gives them ways to unseat him and they refuse to do anything and have made Congress totally irrelevant while BO and Jarrett are laughing all the way to the bank. Makes me sick. All these “investigations” of clear criminal, felonious behavior and no arrests or conclusions, just endless BS.

It worked before.

History does repeat itself.

A third party is an absolute necessity to finally define who the real conservatives are in this country.

You are absolutely correct.
In the present Kangaroo Kongress, Conservatives don't stand a chance. Even when we win, the Republican Liberals stab us in the back.

If there are not enough of us to take back the Republican party then how are there enough of us to take back the country as a third party?

somehow Republicans got a majority and still the Democrats run it all. Makes me want to vote 3rd party.

Frankly, I doubt a single person commenting so far has much of an idea what’s being done in this Doc Fix, but people just love to rag on Boehner.

I would add that I don’t know much about it either, which doesn’t change my conclusion one bit.

I would also add that I have a reasonable amount of trust that Paul Ryan isn’t selling out the GOP and that he’s come up with a decent plan here, although I haven’t read much about it yet. You’ve got to trust someone, and I think he’s on the side of the good in all this.

Boner’s new strategy same as the old strategy, drop his pants and bend over and say “thank you sir, may I have another?”

That's because Pelosi is part of the Democrat base.

Whereas, Boehner (seemingly?) loathes the Republican base.

Boehner has let the mask slip and he is revealed to be the leader of the UNIPARTY and not the Republican Party in the House. One way or the other, this will be his last term as Speaker of the House.

How do we get rid of Boehner, because many so called “Conservatives” in Congress have no spine, and others while having convictions are few in numbers..

Well then can`t the Conservative members vote to replace Boner with Pelousy? She`s de facto speaker anyway, so no harm there, but it would send the GOPe a message that the gloves are coming off and they are as much the enemy as the rats.
