Sucking up to Rush Limbaugh will push any chance of a congressional majority or Republican president out at least 8 years, perhaps 12.

After the horrendous last eight years the people have moved to the center and to left/center...and the Reps have done what was most predictable...moved farther to the right.

Fish on...

Stlhead,
You remind me of the guy with the broken down fence protecting his broken down cars parked in the front yard half hidden by two foot of uncut grass pointing out what a dirt bag neighbor he has because he painted his house an ugly color. You should start thinking about what your own party is going to help this country out as they are in control and quit defelecting the failure of things to get done onto the party that really has no say at this point.
I agree the obstructionism is B.S. (I dont like it now anymore than when the Dems did it before) but we have two parties in this country because we need two points of view. Believe it or not, there are people out there (some even have educations)who dont think the govern is the answer to all our problems.
And quit pandering to the "left wing nuts" though I am sure they will chime in soon.

I don't have a party. I am an independant who detests the republican party. "quit defelecting" part of why I detest the GOP. Eight years of "blame Clinton". "we need two points of view" who say's? Reaganomics didn't work. Reaganomics on steroids was a disaster. "Sell crazy somewhere else"

actually bush was a moderate......he did a lot of things that i didnt agree with because they leaned to far to the left of the rapture.

Lemme ask ya Dewb... in what is supposed to pass for your mind... do you believe that all liberals are Democrats and all Democrats are liberals?

Do you also believe that all Republicans are conservatives and all conservatives are Republicans?

Did you know that there are independent conservatives and independent liberals too?

Ever hear of the Libertarian Party? The Green Party? The American Socialist Worker's Party? The White Nationalist Party?

post trib or pre trib????

ex post facto

what does that have to do with law?

Is there a secret handshake that goes with that?

I think it's actually a "milkshake" when you're finished with the handshake, seeing as how he referenced gayfishin.

check international news from time to time

Reaganomics didn't work. Reaganomics on steroids was a disaster. "Sell crazy somewhere else"

.you arent to bright are you.

I don't have a party. I am an independant who detests the republican party. "quit defelecting" part of why I detest the GOP. Eight years of "blame Clinton". "we need two points of view" who say's? Reaganomics didn't work. Reaganomics on steroids was a disaster. "Sell crazy somewhere else"

As a conservative, I drive small, fuel efficient cars. I try to raise as much of my own food as possible. I plant a lot of trees for future generations. I don't believe anyone needs a salary of more than $1 million. I don't discuss my sex life, and I don't want to hear about any one else's, either. I believe global warming/cooling is caused by natural cycles. As a human race, we need to live a lightly as possible on the land, but I believe that there is a tremendous amount of public energy being wasted on the debate over global warming. Make the debate about simply being kinder to the earth and I'll buy into it.

So I take it massive spending and massive debt are good conservative principals? Isn't that the very "big govt" conservatives claim to be a liberal principal? If you do your homework you will find that most reforms, often attributed to Reagan, were actually begun under Carter. Remember unemployment reaching almost 11% two years into his term? Raised Social security taxes and the instigator of borrowing from, and jeopordizing, the social security trust fund.
I actually voted for Reagan his first term. Then voted against him his second when I saw what he was all about. A mindless puppet in my opinion who screwed the middle class.

If you do your homework you will find that most reforms, often attributed to Obama, were actually begun under Bush.

"I love revisionist history, Its a great thing."

Yup you've mastered it.

And you just blew your rule #1
"who can articulate their positions with clarity, "

Joe the Plumber is rumored to the the next head of the RNC.......

Yes, Reagan cut taxes in the 80's and it helped the economy recover... but the top-end marginal rates were extremely high back then. They're at about 35% now. How much lower do you think they should be for multi-millionaires?

4Salt-You are such a ninnie!

But dont tell me that I am some rish SOB and dont pay my share when half the country pays nothing and I give over a 1/3 of all I make now. That arguement is old and tired. We are not all "multi-millionaires" living on the beach in Cape Cod.

Doc-

you just made his point. You are paying through the nose and the "cape cods" are not.

I'm for a flat tax zero deductions for anybody or anything. But that would also mean you can't deduct any of that $2 mil in debt either. It's yours and yours alone.

A man bellies up to a bar muttering,"asshole democrats". A guy next to him says, "Hey I take offense to that". The man says, "Why, are you a democrat". No the guy says "I'm an asshole".

House Speaker Issued Unprecedented Demands for Military Aircraft and Wasted Taxpayer Resources with Last Minute Cancellations

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's multiple requests for military air travel. The documents, obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), include internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi's numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker's last minute cancellations and changes. The following are a few highlights from the documents, which are linked in full below:
* In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, "Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi's team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?...[T]here's no need to block every weekend 'just in case'..." The email also notes that Pelosi's office had, "a history of canceling many of their past requests."
* One DOD official complained about the "hidden costs" associated with the speaker's last minute changes and cancellations. "We have...folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc."
* The documents include a discussion of House Ethics rules and Defense Department policies as they apply to the speaker's requests for staff, spouses and extended family to accompany her on military aircraft. In May 2008, for example, Pelosi requested that her husband join her on a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) into Iraq. The DOD explained to Pelosi that the agency has a written policy prohibiting spouses from joining CODEL's into combat zones.
* Documents obtained from the U.S. Army include correspondence from Speaker Pelosi's office requesting an Army escort and three military planes to transport Pelosi and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio, for the funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Pelosi noted in her letter of August 22, 2008, that such a request, labeled "Operation Tribute" was an "exception to standard policy."
* The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. "It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable...The speaker will want to know where the planes are..." wrote Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs. In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker."
* During another email exchange DOD staff advised Kay King that one Pelosi military aircraft request could not be met because of "crew rest requirements" and offered to help secure commercial travel. Kay King responded: "We appreciate the efforts to help the codel [sic] fly commercially but you know the problem that creates with spouses. If we can find another way to assist with military assets, we would like to do that."

Speaker Pelosi came under fire in 2007 for requesting a 42-seat Air Force carrier to ferry the Speaker and her staff back and forth between San Francisco, CA and Washington, DC. Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was allowed access to a 12-seat commuter jet for security reasons after the events of 9/11.

"Taken together, these documents show that Speaker Pelosi treats the Air Force like her personal airline," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Not only does Speaker Pelosi issue unreasonable requests for military travel, but her office seems unconcerned about wasting taxpayer money with last minute cancellations and other demands."

im pretty sure that if Trump could use his own planes, he would... the problem is the Secret Service wont allow that to happen, they need a beefed up plane with bulletproof glass and missile defense systems, radars, ect...

its not Trumps fault....

Don't worry gooybob even after all that smack you talk, I'm still your president.

You didn't see squat coming, goonybob.

You and all of your brainy buds thought Felonia von Pantsuit was going to waltz into the White House and carry on with the same happy horseshit President Potty Monitor was pulling for 8 years.

FAIL.

If T.Rump does nothing else he still canged the course of the SCOTUS for decades and he got rid of 800 (so far) Potty Monitor regulations.

Speaking of which, do you have a 401K?
How do you like the 17% increase since January?

Hank, Just when I think you have a brain you continually disappoint. My 401-k has been on the rise ever since Obama became president. I really thought you would be smart enough to know that this economic recovery started long before chump got elected. It would not have mattered who got elected the market was on the rise anyway. BUT, let's say it is because of chump. Then you are saying you will sell out to beef up your 401-K? That's exactly what the Republicans did. They SOLD OUT and put big business and party before their voters. Now as they decline into humiliation and ineptness they are groping like the "president." I will bet you that more insane decisions by chump will, in the long run, bury our 401-Ks. You better start looking for a safe place to put your money because chump is going to fvck things up so badly that the whole economy could/will suffer. Where do I get that opinion? Just look at the last 6 months. So as in most cases, greed will catch up to those who put that in front of decency. Do you have children Hank? Maybe grandchildren? For you and all of those that do you better think hard about the future you're laying down for them.
