    When Turtle McConnell scoffed at the TPs, proclaiming that his corporate establishment bimbos would "crush them everywhere!" he may not have been thinking of Boehner's residual infestation.

    Turdblossom Rove, in his War Against the TPs may have done a victory dance after November, but they're still wreaking havoc on the establishment's agenda:

    Hey, if they can keep this shtick up until November, 2016, more power to them! (Not.)

    What's next for the Repubs? Oh, right!

    Off-shoring US foreign policy to foreign interests!

    I find it funny that both sides like to claim the other isnt doing anything, which is code for " they arent doing what the other side wants them to do"

    As if its a surprise or something? Or as if thats not what they were EXACTLY elected for...

    Nothing but a bunch of whining babies.

    All this started will Obama deciding all by himself to change immigration law, even after he repeatedly stated he didn't have the authority to do so. Of course the neomarxist democrats never met a dictator they didn't like.

    I cannot dispute that the establishment Republicans pretty much keep getting owned... which leads me to believe they are in on it. scumbags.

    Lindsey Graham
    Orin Hatch
    John McCain
    Mitch McConnell

    The GOP would be so much better off with all of them gone.

    With Congressional Republicans now at an abysmal 26% approval/66% disapproval and the prospect of a residue of House wacko birds befouling the process until the end of the term, it promises to be quite the sordid spectacle. And the GOP obviously can hardly distract from the failure in governance by drawing attention to their embarrassing, disastrous Red State Model.

    To add to their calamity, despite Jebby's efforts, the Party may just have a spot of bother re-igniting that ol' Bush magic by 2016.

    Maybe Boehner's cheap stunt to surrender America's foreign policy to an alien potentate is just a desperate cry for help.

    .
    "I know you Americans elected a President of your own,
    but I'm only filling a power vacuum in the US Congress,
    so just grovel and do what I say!"

    (Before Congressional Republicans execute their coordinated about-face-and-bend-over genuflection before the dude, wouldn't it be spiffy if INS nabbed this arrogant, meddling, interloper at the border and deported him - or, at least, stuck the putz in a tent in New Jersey?)

    In any event, while McConnell continues to hold to his vow to "crush" the TPs everywhere, Boehner's berserkers are being very, very mean to him!

    As ye sew,

    (The GOP, with the help of their media entertainers, got these rabid goons wee wee'd up about their imaginary demon "Liberals!" up the wazoo with an overflow up the ying yang.)

    ... so shall ye reap:

    No, that's not correct. You have to go back and look at the comprehensive immigration legislation passed in the Senate practically at the beginning of the last Congress, and with a healthy bi-partisan majority. It was sent to the House where Boehner refused to bring it to a vote. During the time he was sitting on his hands, Obama informed him and the rest of the "do nothing" Republicans that if they wouldn't act, then he would to the full extent of his executive powers. They did and he did.

    You're talking to the talk radio right. They don't have that long of an attention span.

    Obama's actions are illegal, he even said so. His illegal actions have set up this situation. Since when does Congress not acting give the President the authority to act unilaterally to change laws? It doesn't. If he were half the leader the left claims he is this would never have happened. He's to busy calling the other side terrorist and hostage takes to work with them. You guys claim it's all about compromise but the left never does. You'll take your legalization of illegals now and if it has to be done illegally so be it. I just hope the courts stop this nonsense now or their is no telling what future presidents will do with this new found presidential power.

    He was responding to me and I don't listen to talk radio but the truth never gets in the way of a good democrat. Well I listen to a couple of local guys in the morning. Why don't you address Obama's illegal actions instead of worrying about my radio listening habits?

    Don't forget John Boehner!

    Here's a website for you; https://www.conservativereview.com/

    You might find it informal, or very, very troubling.

    I think the problem is not in "Acting together"... The problem is in republicans as a party, before elections they're always every man for himself and only after - they become team.

    But not so with the dems who wouldn't be seen with their Supreme Leader before the last election?? You guys post your handler's talking points without reading what you are saying. Well, I guess that you just don't know what you are saying as it relates to the truth.

    You haven't noticed that the Republicans' problem is that they aren't united behind the campaign of stopping 0bama that they ran on?

    What they should do is shut down the whole government until 0bama stops trying to make law and give amnesty to illegals.

    If 0bama was all white he would have already been impeached. But he is violating his oath to protect the Constitution from behind his shield of racism.

    The list of R scumbags is much longer than that. We only got rid of one that I an think of, Cantor.

    The House has a couple dozen high up in leadership. The Senate has two dozen. They are all in favor of the System as configured. That System will be installed without lube as government inexorably expands.

    I have to agree that the Republican party is no better than the dems rum by One Eyed Harry. Who do you think kicked his ass so bad?? He "fell down" weeks and weeks ago and the side of his head is still black.

    At one time he believed the actions he took would be illegal, which is why he sought out better informed sources than himself. Guess what - found out that what he thought wasn't so and proceeded accordingly. That's the difference between a Dem and Repub - Dems will change their opinions when given facts to do so; Repubs just stick stubbornly to their fantasies.

    He didn't. See above.

    You mean like re-instituting the "unitary executive"? :wink:

    Don't blame the tea partier legislators. Blame the voters who put them in, and keep putting them back.

    "Congress has complete authority over immigration. Presidential power does not extend beyond refugee policy." https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/immigration

    No Obama figured out he could do and his supporters would cheer, and they are. Well they'll cheer until the next republican administration does something similar then they'll have a problem with tyranny. He also knows Boehner and the rest of the worthless republicans aren't going to do (*)(*)(*)(*) about it. They've been trying to push amnesty through since 2007 and they haven't got it done yet.

    It once looked is if Boehner's Repub Congress would merely be dysfunctional.

    Now, even as it grovels before foreign potentates, it's attacking itself:

    Back when Breitbart proclaimed Turdblossom's War against the TPs, few would have expected the GOP carnage to break out within the halls of Congress.

    No gloating, please!

    (That's what Brownback gave us his highly-touted Red State Model for!)

    You can be damned sure Boehner is blaming both.

    He's even using his own PAC goons to attack TPs and spank the pifflewits that inflict them on him.

    Whether Boehner decides to celebrate by presenting a dazzling cavalcade of exotic potentates to preach their foreign policies and captivate the likes of Louie Gohmert, he has just notched another victory over the hapless TPs!

    In regard to immigration laws, you are quite correct. BUT, it is the president who is tasked with enforcing those laws and he has wide discretion in doing so. It was on that basis Obama decided to limit deportations until Congress got its act together and decided how to handle 11 million people here illegally, many of them for decades. Oh, yeah, I don't believe Congress has ever provided enough funding to the Executive to accomplish what they've been ranting about. Unless and until they do, they can howl at the moon all night and wait for the magic to happen, but it ain't.

    Americans should be grateful to Sammy Brownback for his "experiment" that applied full-blown TP governance to the Sunflower State and to the Kansan guinea pigs who have been subjected to it. Thanks to their sacrifices, the nation has been immunized against what were previously some alienated crackpots' airy-fairy pipe dreams with no demonstrable record. The once much-ballyhooed Sammy is now aspiring to non-person status, well on his way to being confined to the Republican attic where the party bosses have kept their Dubya locked away for years.

    Unfortunately, for the rabid in desperate need of a diversion, the spotlight shifts to GOP power-wielding in Congress where they've gotten a death grip on the wrong end of the stick and are flailing about cluelessly.


    Given that the Bush was at 31% Approval/61% Disapproval at this stage of his disastrous tenure, maybe Jebby could seize the opportunity to make a hostage exchange with the even more loathsome Congressional maladroit muckety-mucks and market it as "compassionate convenience." Better a past stumblebum than a present one!

    "Free at last! free at last!"


    (Hey, the Jebster pulling the "resurrection man" stunt out of his asshat-in-the-ring as an "act of love" has far more humanitarian appeal than Christie's version of a "Big Tent" approach to diversify the exclusive 90% White enclave - force America's courageous medical professionals into one!)
