  • You forgot chickenshit douchebag.

    • Hey I posted this at 0300...I was just a weeee bit tired....(worked a double shift)

• Thesse GOP leaders are arrogant. No need to pay attention to the conservatives as long as the lobbyists keep pouring money into their election pools.

  This is how a 3rd party might get their attention. A 3rd party candidate would likely not win, but would run on principle and would garner this vote. Siphon off enough votes in a general election so the RINO wouldn't win either. Being unemployed would get the GOP's attention. Maybe, just maybe, they'd be forced to actually run a principled candidate instead of the democrat ass-kissing, surrender monkey ones they run now.

• Punting to the courts again. How did that work out for us on Obama Care?

• It is too bad that Leonard Nimoy died before he could host an episode of "In Search Of:" Republican balls.

  • That would have been an hour long blank tape.

  • Hell, they have a better chance of finding the loch ness monster and bigfoot then those.

    • Finding Bigfoot's easy... just look in Pelosi's mouth.

  • Thread win!

    • Agreed!

• Boozer Boehner's boner a bee in right-wing's bonnet.

  'Bout right.

• Of course they were never going to win, because they were unwilling to fight.

• This little episode has gone exactly as planned.

  • There was never any doubt in my mind that the Republicans would cave. The party should be renamed to the Spelunker Party. And the next time I get a request for money from the Republican Party I'll write back and say they can osculate my fundament.

• Here is what I sent the ass hats

  Why is there an opposition party in Washington DC? To save the tax payers money, all of you republicans should just leave and surrender your salaries back to the treasury. Senator McConnell you and Congressman Boehner as well as Congressman Barr all campaigned on stopping the illegal amnesty executive order by the president. Yet, when the time came to cowboy up and do what all three of you claimed you would do, each of you failed us the American people and your constituents. All of you who feel that it’s in the best interest of the county to pass a so called clean bill are not protecting the American people. You are giving away our sovereignty; our tax dollars, government assistance and what little social security funds that remain to individuals who are law breakers. They entered this country illegally. No other country in the world allows for this activity. You and all your ducklings are about to ensure that the elected republic will forever be lost by permitting this action to go unchallenged.

  When will congress uphold its oath? When will congress push back against the illegal actions of the president? You sir have LIED to the American People.

  Figure when the time comes I'll get an all expense paid express trip to a FEMA Camp.

  • John Wayne version: "Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway."

    john Boehner Version: "Courage is telling everyone you'll fight for something and then capitulating while hiding under my desk with a bottle of scotch."

    • Thats why Boehner keeps a box of white French Flags under his desk....
