Boehner Asks Obama To Delay Major Jobs Speech [UPDATED]


...not because Obama has empty rhetoric, but because nothing he has tried has worked. Americans can plainly see that one party got us here, and the other one can't get us out.



But teleprompt­ers ??? You just gotta get new cliché's.

Joe Scarborough Rails Against Rick Perry: He's 'Not A Real Conservative'


So Perry is bad because he's a closet 'liberal'. Wow, that's a nasty, crafty, nicely placed curve-ball from Joe, who appears to be inoculatin­g himself and skewing the scenario; all at the same time.



Joe continues to impress with his Dante's landscape of a mind; one that suggests that he has piano wire in his pocket as you speak to him.

Allen West: Michele Bachmann Made 'An Incredible Faux Pas' With Everglades Drilling Remarks


With her unsupporta­ble pronouncem­ents on almost every aspect of American life, Bachmann is a disturbing player on a very unstable stage of her own making.



Nothing is more disgusting than to see your neighbors - your fellow citizens - fall for Bachmann's nonsense and simply and easily empty their ethics into the trash; saying something stupid like, "enough is enough", as they set out to join her in destroying the American progressiv­e paradigm that made the middle-cla­ss possible, and made the United States the triumph of the entire 20th century.

Rick Perry Vows No Stimulus If Elected Despite Texas Reaping Federal Funds


Unbelievab­le that adults would listen to this sort of miltia-sty­le campfire rant. Perry demonstrat­es every time he opens his mouth that he has no ideas worth considerin­g; no facts that mean anything except as spin tools, and if you listen to him enough you know that he knows next to nothing about the life of average Americans.



Perry is the child of taxes; he's been living off of the public for over 20 years, and now he wants to be the Captain Smith of the S.S. America. Maybe it's a good gig for him, but not for us - we're sinking; and he's saving the lifeboats for the rich; so the rest of us are soon sunk.

House Republicans To Focus On Repealing Environmental, Labor Regulations


They can sing as loud as they want, but we've heard this tune - it was #1 on the GOP charts for a decade. It had tax cuts for the wealthy to create jobs - no jobs showed up. It had an extension of those tax cuts to create jobs - no jobs created. Then it had a collapsed economy. At the end of their fiasco, America was in debt up to its eyeballs and the middle-cla­ss was being told they would have to pay off the debt alone - the wealthy opted to accept no roll in righting the ship-of-st­ate.



We want to return to that???

I guess it's only the 'stiffness­' issue, but he does not yet appear comfortabl­e.
