they know what the election was about. THey know that the GOPe who got in and whom they are able to roll do not represent the voters and that the voters hate them and they know that 2016 is worse for the GOPe than they are letting us know.

They know it’s over for them, and that conservatives are the future, and that they are not going to get close to near as many votes for romneybush in 16 as they did in the last gen election.

we won. this is them getting over it

That would be nice if it were true.

Maybe now that Boehner has thrown his tantrum, he now understands better where his political bread is buttered.

There is a lot of fog on Foggy Bottom. We can’t know with nothing more than a quick look.

Boehner is setting up a series of show votes to get Conservatives off his back. He knows most bills coming out of the House will still be bottled up in the Senate via Dem filibuster and if they somehow overcome that hurdle they’ll be vetoed by Obama. Nothing will be accomplished and he knows it. Idiots like my Rep Mick Mulvaney (SC)bought this garbage hook, line, and sinker and re-elected this RINO Speaker again. Take a look at Mulvaney’s Facebook page, he got flamed.

The constitution calls for impeachment.

This is what I’ve been looking every and all day and every second for: proof that we’ve earthquaked them into submission.

We have two good, slow, long years to scatter the crony cockroaches. Where will they all adjourn to now?

First of all, the correct term is “illegal immigrants”. Leaving off the “illegal” part is intellectually dishonest.

Secondly, I'll believe Boehner will battle illegal immigration when I see it.

Very simply: stopping funding would have ended Obama’s amnesty. Going this route won’t make it through a veto override, so is purposely ineffectual and only for show.

Boehner is a deceptive snake—as are the vast majority of GOP congressmen (who voted him in again).

Even winning the presidency in 2016 will be too late to stop a lot of this amnesty stuff. The GOP endorsed it when it funded it—plain and simple. This legislative approach is a certain loser—which is why the GOPe is going along with it.

It’s not even that—this approach is certain to die either in the senate or unable to overcome a veto.

Which is why the GOPe has gone ahead with it—purely, and deceptively, for show.

the fights that they think they can win, and that base must be willing to accept the fact that we cannot get everything we want right now.

I stole this from another Freeper, and it speaks volumes.

Wherever did you get that from?

I’m telling you it’s a fraud. The GOPe is playing you once again.

They’ll go home to their teal-painted, maple paneled dens, stocked with liquor and smokes, to face their disappointed or amoral families with whom they find no companionship for mutual lack of virtue.

Or, what we call hell

Being an American Patriot and favoring US citizens is now the definition of far right.
