The mainstream ‘pubies would never let Stockman deliver the rebuttal. He would end up embarrassing them as well as the One.

They should have tapped Stockman to deliver the GOP response.

Instead, they tapped Sandy Soccer Mom to deliver the sensible bowl of GOPe mush. Obama brazenly tells them he's usurping the Constitution and they're talking about improving government training programs.

How can you tell who the people are in congress who are only pretending to be for small government and against this current power grab? That’s easy. They are the ones who didn’t walk out on that speech last night. So we have, what...one guy? The rest of them are playing you all for fools. I’m serious, if paul, cruz, lee and the rest didn’t walk out during the speech where obama more or less declared himself emperor, its because they don’t have that much of a problem with it.

Good for him. Would have been better, in my opinion, if he never went, but at least he walked out. That was more than most Republicans did.

Had he not attended, he would not get the interviews.

He is getting the attention but not the bad press of saying “you lie”

I say well done!

Someone should put it in terms of rape.

When Barky says “I want to work with Congress, but if they won’t cooperate, I’ll go around them”,

it’s the equivalent of saying “I’d like you to have consensual sex with me, but if you won’t consent, I’m going to do it anyway.”

For Obama to do these trips that disrupt public services when they’re all totally overwhelmed because of the weather is incomprehensible and narcisstic.

Incomprehensible and narcisstic is as incomprehensible and narcisstic does...

Time to skip impeachment and invoke the 25th ammendment. The guy is clearly unfit for office.

With all due respect, if you’re going to represent Congressman Stockman, please learn how to use “Spell Check”.

Sounds kinda lame but - I stand with Stockman!
_____________________________________________________________
I guess that’s o.k. I don’t know if he’s your Congressman, but, he’s mine for the second time. I’m not voting for him. I’m voting for Linda Vega. If he is in a run-off with Cornyn, he will lose. He has entirely too much baggage. But, I’d vote for a one-eyed crack whore before I vote for Cornyn, but, Steve will have a hard time winning the run-off.

I’ve stated many times on here, that I am not a Stockman supporter. However, if he can get a lot of publicity out of this, it will help him, here in Texas, in his run for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat presently held by John Cornyn. Someone needs to exploit this action on his part. It will help him.

We should ALL, stand with Stockman. _____________________________________________________________ How well do you know Stockman, Shane? Is he your Congressman? He has been mine both times. He served one term before being defeated in the '90s and now he resigns before his term ends this time...... I'm telling you; we need a fresh face to run against Cornyn. Stockman has too much baggage. He's a "dog and pony show". He's a drunk and a serial liar. The Beaumont (TX) Enterprise has been running front-page stories damning him for going on 3 Sundays now. If he makes the run-off, he will be annihilated by Cornyn. We don't need another Todd Aikin right now. We need a fresh face with credibility and integrity. If that happens, we will defeat John Cornyn. FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE; WAKE UP!!!

My home state is Washington, but I do live in Stockman’s district, IN Texas; in the city very close to the George Hartman Bridge. It’s the city whose motto is “Where water and oil really do mix.”

And exactly where in my FR profile do I claim to currently live in the State of Washington?

The progressives will release power only from their cold dead hands...

I'm ok with this option. After all, it is time tested and proven to work.

Good morning. No. he is not my congressman. I was simply supporting his symbolic gesture of standing up, and walking out of the State of the Union propaganda. Frankly, in my judgement, all of congress, or those who support the constitution should have walked out!

You have identified yourself with FR as living in WA state (note the WA State flag on your profile.)

Maybe you have moved recently to TX without updating your FR profile location. If so, I appologize.

Otherwise, pardon me if I accuse you of being a liberal Seattle troll. Your FR handle sort of gives you away too. ;)

You would be the first person to EVER think of me as being a liberal; I’m very much the polar opposite of a liberal.
