How John Boehner decided to give up on the debt limit fight

[quote="BlazerBob"

I know what it means but who trademarked it? You?[/quote]

No... the people who own it trademarked it. I don't have that kind of money to spend for all the lawyers and paperwork and stuff.

Yes, the teabaggers have become such a powerful force that they couldn't stop the debt-ceiling vote and add their baggage to it; they couldn't stop the budget-bill and add their baggage to it; they couldn't stop the Farm Bill, and add their baggage to it...

Gee, can't even agree among themselves to get 218 votes to pass anything....

PLEASE, jus' keep doin' what yer doin', and proving to the American people that it's just a bunch of bomb-throwing whining idiots who have no interest in doing anything but screwing things up.

Whassamatter, Capt. Irrelevant?....Can't find enough yo-yos to fight the fight?

Rep. Waxman (D) (CA) isn't as optimistic as LJ. If he knew the Dems were going to take back the House in November and he would get back his committee chairmanship, do you think he would be quitting?

You got any proof, other than your usual misinformed conjecture, that after 40 years in the House he might be quitting for other reasons?

If I had to put up with the morons like Gohmert, Stockman, Bachmann and some of the other lunatics, I might be thinking of quitting too.

Yeah, just like this "teabagger" who opposed raising the debt limit due to his purely "political vote"...

The media is like Hollywood, they can paint a picture for the ignorant who don't understand how money is created or how the economy works in the real world. If the media can make one party look like the bad guys, they can greatly effect elections even in the face of an inept administration that gotten very little right in the last five years.

Another increase in the debt ceiling is a small price to pay if it will help to remove these fools from power.

Then you missed my point altogether. It doesn't matter which fools are removed or which fools get put in their place. They are still The Political Class (tm) big money will benefit, they will benefit and you and I will get an occasional bone thrown our way.

That's why you rarely see me take an actual side. I don't put either side up on a pedestal. Presently the idiot Democrats are screwing thing up, so I'll highlight them in my rants.

What the GOP did yesterday was just as idiotic, and I'm calling them on it. In short, the whole bunch of them can go to hell for all I care. Anarchy would be preferred over these jerks who keep telling me it's raining while they are pissing upwind of me.

I'm no fan of the establishment R's either, but the power needs to be taken from the Dems asap. The only way to have a chance of reversing the course they've set us on is to win elections and prevent this forced move to the left. I'll take any victory if it prevents Harry Reid from pulling the strings and Hillary getting in the WH.

Speaking as an Indy.....what you are witnessing is the SLOW deterioration of both parties....
RR's revelation of "cut from the same cloth" is STUNNING....the WHOLE OF Washington beltway
is a "bolt" (cloth measurement)of bullsh**....has been that way for as long as I have been watching Washington....

Obama stuck it to 'em again... lol

Jus' keep it up.... The Baggers become more irrelevant every day...

Update: The Senate just passed the debt-limit bill by 67. Even that numbnuts, Cruz, couldn't stop it... Tell me again how relevant the morons are? :LMAO:

At least we are not in total lock step. The "crazy ones" have a foot hold.

..."We’ve reached a curious point in modern political history. When members of the House Republican conference receive a bizarre screed on a highly guarded email account, the first assumption would probably be that some outside weirdo inadvertently gained access to a private list.

But upon further reflection, some elected lawmakers came to the conclusion that one of their own sent the screed, but no one takes it too seriously because the message was “probably” sent by “one of the crazy ones.”

The key word in that sentence isn’t “crazy”; it’s “ones” – as in, the House Republican Stanton talked to believes there are now so many nutty people elected to Congress, it’s tough to even guess who’d be responsible for sending a weird email under a weird pseudonym."

Woo hoo! Spending more money we don't have! :clap: We are at 75% of GDP, when will we hit 80%?
Let that sink in. And the massive entitlements coming for the baby boomers haven't even been included.
