The budget crisis is and the government is unable to face it.

Every lawmaker voting for non-essential reform at this time is in dereliction of duty.

Ah, how cute they are trying to figure out that this is going nowhere. I cannot wait for the day that these numbskulls are no longer elected not because their politics are dead but because their voters just stop voting for them. They deny the obvious.

They think this is the herald of a brighter day… yeah, right… bright enough to vaporize you if you stand around trying to figure out how to just ‘play it right’. Their brains are gone, but their bodies will lumber on for awhile yet until the stupidity becomes blindingly obvious to everyone. Might be too late by then, of course, but is worth pointing out now for the ability to say ‘I told you so’ in a few months.

If we want to find other Nations with far harsher border controls we need but look south of our own border and into Latin America. They do a MUCH better job at stopping this stuff than we do, and yet we dare not emulate a good example. But that takes intelligence, brains, and ability to actually think and not act like an apparatchik. Their end is coming, D’s and R’s both as their Elites flail around to re-apply old tricks to problems that can’t be solved by them. Poor old dinosaurs. Yet they have so many fellow sauropods wanting to believe in something that just doesn’t work that its failure, once more, just might be enough to be a cluebat. I’m not betting on that. Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity is a disease that only the individual can cure.

Uh … NO.

This is an issue of sovereignty and the Rule of Law, not economics. It’s not a difficult concept.

I get your point but if you tie it to a growing economy it will never happen with Obama in office and it will expose the democrats for who they are.

psst, vote for them or you’ll get Obama….

House should just tie any discussion on the immigration bill to a growing economy. Two consecutive quarters of 5% growth and real unemployment at 5%.

I was saying that after the primary when Romney won. All Romney was is a stop gap and we’re seeing what the libs/Obama have in mind with a weak GOP.

You have no idea how unhappy I am right now.

Sounds like the “next in line” has already been determined.

kim roy on January 28, 2013 at 9:39 PM

I mentioned that in another thread.

Rubio/Jeb Bush 2016 or the other way around. Time for a 3rd party.

The best bet the Republicans have is to keep McCain away from the microphones

And keep the sun from rising in the East. :)

He sure isn’t any “great American”. He’s a great opportunist and puppet though. We should probably start calling him Lamb Chop (the older crowd will know who that is).

TxAnn56 on January 28, 2013 at 9:40 PM

As we have discussed recently, Sean Hannity isn’t the brightest star in the sky. I am sure he takes whatever stand Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes tell him to take.

Rubio/Jeb Bush 2016 or the other way around. Time for a 3rd party.

JPeterman on January 28, 2013 at 9:44 PM

Probably more like Bush/Rubio, aka Edgar Bergen/Charlie McCarthy

I call him his Irish name, “dead to me.”

Democrats know what they are doing. They are playing chess. The Republicans are playing Russian roulette.

KMav on January 28, 2013 at 9:28 PM

with four out of six chambers loaded.

Contrary to what he says, Sean Hannity is a Republican first and a conservative second (or maybe tenth).

Well I’m listening to Karl Rove on O’Reilly and he can’t shower enough praise on this plan and the remarkable Marco Rubio.

To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.

Not to mention a slap in the face to American citizens.

The GOP would come down on the side of the 23 million AMERICANS unemployed, the 6 million AMERICANS who have just given up hope, the 47 million AMERICANS already on food stamps, the black and hispanic AMERICANS who have double digit unemployment, etc. We really should be already to pit these groups against each other and against amnesty.

Rubio is on Hannity blah, blah, blah. He’s talking so fast I can’t keep up with him. Looks like Hannity has caved to this bullsh!t too.

Any favorite Hendrix tune?

There can be only one:

“Castles Made of Sand”

Chalk one up to Ted Cruz!!

Scrumpy on January 28, 2013 at 9:08 PM

Actually Scrump, chalk it up to the people that burned his phone lines today. I called every office today as did thousands of other Texans. His office was non-committal most of the day and then the statement came out around 5:00. Not that it was all that great, but we’ll see.

JP – I have an Indian friend who will be a citizen next year and he’s shooting blood through his eyes over this.

TxAnn56 on January 28, 2013 at 9:15 PM

I just got back from my holiday in Czech Republic and have a really bad attitude right now. My entire family over there are horrified at what they are seeing unfold. This is a huge knife in the back to those of us who played by the rules.

I wish your friend the best of luck and he should think real hard about what he is about to embark on.

The Republican party is trying to destroy the Republican party. Surreal. Pure suicide.

KMav on January 28, 2013 at 9:18 PM

Yes, true.
