    One would think that after losing the election by a land-slide and the direction that the people in the country are moving (forward, not backward), republicans would pay attention. It seems that they have their feet firmly planted in the mud more-so now than before. But, passing the fiscal cliff bill was a start. Now to get Boehner out. It's a start, anyway.

    If "con" is the opposite of "pro," then is Congress the opposite of progress? We know that conservative is the opposite...

    Boehner's not going anywhere, as you are about to find out.

    And the tax bill that Obama just passed is his last leverage for a while. Now that the masses THINK (and it's only think because they are wrong) they aren't having their taxes raised, the next battle is the debt ceiling. Who holds the leverage there?

    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Funny that you guys think anyone is fighting a tv network. FOX like MSNBC is in the business of making money. One is just better at doing it than the other.
    ...
    FOX News is the voice of the Neo-Conservative wing of the Republican party. All you need to do is look at the roster of political analysts they have on their payroll... beginning with Karl Rove. FOX News is the station for the Republican Party, by the Republican Party.

    Regarding the Andrea Saul comment during the Presidential Campaign, 2012:
    (ref. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/ann-coulter- ... -be-fired/ )
    "Anyone who donates to Mitt Romney, and I mean the big donors, ought to say if Andrea Saul isn’t fired and off the campaign tomorrow, they are not giving another dime, because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has…
    There’s no point in you doing your show, there’s no point in going to the convention and pushing for this man if he’s employing morons like this. This ad is the turning point and she has nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! She should be off the campaign."

    ...
    Deny that this is the case... but, it is still the case.

    Yes. But, you do argee that both Rand Paul and Michelle Bachmann are 'Take No Prisoner' types that look across the aisle and see enemies that need to be completely annihilated, right? If given their way, there would be NO Compromises because the opposition is seen as the enemy that needs to be completely destroyed.
    If not.. please, give me examples where either one has presented compromise solutions.


    Rand fights his own party nearly as much as he does the opposing. Bachmann toes the party line, all of the time.

    So... you agree... both refuse to compromise, regardless of who they see as the opposition. Both share that common trait.

    Honestly I don't want compromise. But Bachmann does compromise as you can look at her voting record on the previously mentioned list of rights destroying items. When Congress compromises we either get higher taxes, more spending, or lose rights. When's the last time Congress really cut spending? I'm not talking about $15M in chump change.

    Rand is not perfect and he is certainly not his father but if he runs for President I will work to get him elected. Well, unless Justin Amash runs, he is a Ron Paul clone. I'll take it.

    A look inside the failed attempt to oust Boehner. "Not exactly the Roman Senate scheming to dispatch Caesar."

    If that is you claim... the burden of proof is on your side.
    Where did you get the information... that "There are more Democrats on Fox News than Republicans on ANY and ALL other news sources!"?
    I'm calling bullshit.
    Prove me wrong... show me what political party everyone is registered as so I can see for myself.

    Yes I know that the Speaker doesn't have to be a member, but it isn't going to happen. And please stop with the Bachmann/Paul comparisons. They are nothing alike. Bachmann supports the TSA, the PATRIOT Act, FISA, NDAA all of which destroy rights and all of which Rand Paul is against.

    Except Rand Paul does reach across the aisle to work with Democrats. Like his support of the Feinstein amendment to the 2013 NDAA. He even spoke on the floor in support of the amendment. That doesn't speak to me of someone who sees the opposition that needs to be completely destroyed.

    If you experience a Boehner for longer than 4 hours, seek medical treatment immediately.

    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self
