The American people like our two party system. At least they did in the past. Maybe we’ve reached the point where there’s so many people who “likee big government that offer lot of services”, that from here on in, the Democrats will have a permanent majority. If that’s the case, what’s the point of being Democrat-lite?

Offer a true alternative to Liberalism and then see what happens. Either people will get sick of the Democrat’s shenanigans and they’ll want to try something truly different, or they won’t. But this running scared from the media nonsense is a fools game.

The fact that the American people chose to re-elect Obama shows how screwed up the country is. Why the hell should the GOP care what a screwed up electorate with a thoroughly corrupt media thinks of them? Let the American people choke on the choices they’ve made at the ballot box and tell them “if you want something different you know where to find us”.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has effectively walked away from fiscal cliff negotiations. …

“Today, House Republicans have threatened to abandon serious negotiations,” Reid said. “Boehner’s proposal will not pass the Senate.”

…why is anyone interested in what Harry Reid says?
…has he accomplished anything?

You go too far. Remember that time is the great equalizer, and you are not appointed for life.

No matter how badly your Marxist hero Ojesus wishes it, this is not Venezuela.

Arrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

What did we do to deserve that picture being inflicted upon us?

It ain’t right.

Nah, that’s crazy talk….

Boehner is just not really good at this stuff. He really needs to pull back and let this cliff happen. The Democrats expect him to cave, the President expects him to cave. He just has to tell the world he tried, tried really hard, and the Democrats want a cliff, so he’s giving them what they want.

Simplified.

They love “equality” and I’m supporting it.

So in other words.. the whole freaking GOP can’t do anything other than just sit in their chairs and play wait and see. They are powerless to do a blasted thing on their own!?

Their only options are to sit and just keeping waiting on the President? “Will he smile at us? Will he walk our way? Will he extend his gaze towards us? Will he reach out his hand? Oh will he? Will he? Will he?!” “Oh look! I think Obama saw us! He’s walking towards us! (heavy breathing.. gasps! panting!) He has our offer in his hand! Will he say yes? Will he say no?”

The Socialists don’t want a deal. They want to advance their agenda and damage the GOP.

Boehner needs to pass a simple bill extending the current tax rates and then go home. Leave it to the Dems to refuse passage and raise taxes.

If Boehner leads the passage of a bad bill he’s through.

They don’t even need a bill to pass. IMO, if the conservative wing rises up and throws out Speaker BOHICA, that adds to the merriment. Why NOT have the rank-and-file “betray” and throw out their very own leader after he makes the full-on confession regarding taxes (as Rush has so eloquently explained the past few days) and be labeled once again as the Do-Nothings who want to Let.It.Burn that “took us” over the fiscal cliff in a kabuki play orchestrated by Obama all along?

Considering that Speaker BOHICA has done irreparable damage the past few weeks, such an outcome is the best possible one. Even if it is a Dem’s wet dream.

Make all pay 10% in taxes. It’s the ultimate equality and ‘enlightenment’, as the leftists like to claim.

Wow! How racist Schadenfreude. The typical Obama moocher pays a minus 10% in what they are getting out of the productive part of the nation. You are suggesting that these mooches, parasites, and takers pay their own way. That isn’t Obama’s America.

… is that gravity always wins.

Pass a budget and send it to the Senate that cuts Obama’s vacation money. Limit him to $ 1,000,000 vacations. Let the Democrats reject it!

Heck.. just pass that. Pass a bill that limits the amount of money Obama can spend on his vacations. Just do that. Do nothing but that. Do it tomorrow. Do it tonight.

Then pass another bill giving all of middle class America a tax break of some kind. Just pass that. Pass nothing less but that. Let the Senate reject it. Pass something every single day.. pass 2 or 3 delicious items every freaking day and let the Senate reject them.

Pass a bill giving all middle income families a tax cut equal to a spending cut. Find some item of wasteful spending that Obama does personally… transfer that into a tax cut for the poor and middle class.. even if it’s only a $100. rebate check payable immediately and let the Democrats reject it.

Do something real! Stop playing the game the way the Democrats are making you play and turn the whole thing around back on them! Make the freaking Democrat party have to respond to something real you have done and keep shoving it down their throats every single day!

Cut the party budget of the WH… find how much they spend on parties and golf trips and vacations and cut that down by %50 or more… turn that savings into a check to be sent directly to the middle class. Let the Democrats reject it if they want to!

Make the Democrat party every day reject a specific savings or check to the American people. Define it! Pass it!
