I like DeMint, but let everything burn to the ground.
Out of the ashes, AND from the energy of the conservative people of this country SICK TO DEATH of cowardice, someone will emerge...
but, they’d better be ready to be thoroughly vetted and born from the fire before they get support from me.
I’m sick of being lied to. I don’t care anymore about the republicans...and the media will reap what they have sown.
” - - - If Republicans want to maintain the defense, were going to have to give tax increases to Obama. - - - - “
RINO-Think: “If we want to win, we must first Cave-In, and then we MUST remember to always lose at all costs.”
Bye-bye DeMint, you are now a useless, sad joke - - - .

THE RESISTANCE?...... A WORD THAT NEEDS repeating
“Anybody care to respond to this?”
Try this from Miltie.

Bottom line is that yes the money gets spent either way, but there’s a couple key differences...
1. who gets to spend the money (the producer or the taker?) This has “moral hazard” aspects that are very detrimental to both the economy and society in general (rewards and punishes the wrong behaviors)
2. how effectively is that money spent. This is addressed by another Miltie video - the four types of money.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RDMdc5r5z8
With a private funding, the first dollar goes to the development of the product or service and to those who's efforts are required to make it happen. The last person in line for compensation is the person who owns the business or service that is being produced.If the product or service is deemed valuable by the market, the business will continue. As it becomes more successful similar businesses will rush to the market with better, cheaper, faster products and services.
In the bizarro world of public (Federal) spending, the first tax dollar spent by the Federal government is spent on the guaranteed pension plans and benefits of the Federal employees. The second dollar spent by the Federal government is to Federal employees as the bureaucratic filter captures the “cost” of redistributing tax revenue. Subsequent dollars are used with decreasing efficiency as the Federal mindset reinforces failure, not success. If a Federal program is deemed as unsuccessful the cause in almost inevitably that there was too little money spent on it. Witness the War on Poverty. After umpteen trillion dollars spent to eradicate poverty what do we have? More poor people, of course. As for the collision of the public and private sectors, the litany of Solyndra’s over history is too long to mention.
The politics are much more complicated. It seems as if the least dangerous course for Republicans is to pass a one-year extension of the Bush tax cuts in the House, send it to the Senate and adjourn for the year. Let Harry Reid be the one to send us over "the fiscal cliff".
Not with my hot temper!
My run would end in a jail term.
As much as I like this,it is exactly what Obama wants,a Divided Republican Party.
I just cant force myself to vote GOPe any more.
Yep. Maybe the time is ripe for a strong 3rd party.(Tea Party?). Real conservatives have had it with the GOP.
They should buy time on all the alphabet networks every week and get the message out since ABCNBCCBSMSNBCCNN won't regain their integrity anytime soon.
” Disarm this weapon from Obama so you can fight him, then he is the one who raised taxes not you. With any luck all the other cliff stuff will slow the economy down and then ya got an argument against raising taxes.”
This is by far, the best option. Actually, the only one.
Thanks friend, you and me are tired of this crap and want to see O beaten for a change:)
“Forget any protest in Washington.. The news media needs to be confronted FIRST. They are 0bama’s front line and until they’re EXPOSED FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND WHO THEY’RE WORKING FOR, nothing will change.
FUCBS, FUNBC, FUABC.. They, along with CNN, MSNBC, and most websites are WHORES for 0bama. We need to track WHO George Soros has funded and is funding. ARGH!!!!”
Yup, I have been saying this now for about 5 years. The SRM are our biggest enemies. IMO even bigger than Obama, because without them covering and cheerleading for him he is nothing. They shape and reinforce the narrative to the sheeple, yet the fing stupid GOP continue to allow them to moderate their debates!! Not enough bad things can personally happen to these Media people, they have and continue to destroy America! I wish the Muslims would issue a fatwa against them!

It is a divided party but not because of obama. You have conservatives on one side and the GOPe somewhat if you can say that with a straight face, fiscally cheap liberals on the other. It has been this way since 1964 and through the prism of the Cold War we won several elections because the Republicans could be counted on in most cases to put country before party especially in foreign policy. That ended after Bush 43 and his Republican majorities in congress went on a spending binge that would normally make a liberal blush.
The conservatives and the cheap fiscal GOPe liberals are totally at odds with their goals for the party and the country. A house divided cannot stand. Either the GOPe liberals leave or the conservatives do. Together as they are now it will never win a national election again.
The Republican party is dead it just doesn’t know it yet. A new party will rise from its demise, but sadly I believe it will come to power too late to save the country. I fear once we spiral into the anarchy that is coming liberal tyranny will take hold and totalitarianism will be the result of the collapse instead of a new republic.
Some may say this is sheer pessimism, hardly, just taking a cold hard look at reality, history and where the country stands and the future looks grim about anyway this goes down.
No doubt Boehner has this message repeating in his brain: "If I pass a partial extension of the tax cuts for those below $X, then O can either sign it an do a victory dance (and Grover will torture me), or he will veto it and demand something else."
But the latter option, demanding something more (stimulus?), is clearly a riskier position for O than the House doing nothing but bluster, letting the budget control act do its thing.
Similarly, if the senate blocks the partial tax cut, that looks bad for Dems. However, one thing that worries me is that the simple bill gets amended in the senate, and then moves to the Pork-O-Rama bicameral conference, followed by a quick vote before they have time to read the bill.
O could sign the bill and do a victory dance, saying he kept his campaign promise. If the GOP is right about small businesses suffering as a result, that should become evident, although it's not clear to me whether voters understand or care about the economy at this time.
Maybe Boehner will see the light. I am not going to hold my breath. Dems are already rehearsing their talking points (and the media and many public school teachers will echo whatever they say): "Who refused to lower middle class taxes?"
You wont get an argument from me.
I have already pondered these. If you watch Obama he is only talking about the tax cuts because he wants the voters to think that the rich are all Republicans care about, (and some seem to want to help him at that).
So he is setting things up so Republicans can call his bluff and pass the tax cuts, so then if he demands more Rs can make a big fuss about Obama demands a moving target and O playing with the middle class peoples lives.
So in this it is good that it is dragging out a while.
As far as gloating goes, Dems are going to do that. We have to be tough and stomach it.
But the longer the standoff drags out the more of a victory O can claim, and if Rs hold out like they did on the debt limit then Rs will really be hurt by it, and cave on it too.
I heard on the Dem channel that it is being leaked that Bohner is planning on doing exactly as I been advising, pass the tax cuts and nothing else.
I also heard on both channels that Obama wants to lure Rs into a suicidal confrontation early on so he can crush them with public opinion and they (leadership) will be terrified to stand up to him again, and the R party descends into civil war,
This one could just be Obama trying to psych out Republicans, but I can see it playing out that way too,
I don’t know who to trust anymore in the GOP but I do know that if Sarah Palin teams up with DeMint or West then I’m in.
Otherwise, I’m done with the republican party.
That might result (after senate amendments) in a House/senate pork-o-rama conference behind closed doors, followed by a quick vote before they read it.
