I ...I don't feel any sympathy for Mr. Speaker. I remember him on election night '08. His words were "We're going to fight this." He's been fighting for 2 years and look what it's gotten him. He can find his integrity and call the whole thing off. Right now he's looking at being a minority party after November. He's also looking at the Democrat majority passing everything they want next year and the Republicans being voiceless. The Big O will document every time they slapped his hand if there are objections. "You guys didn't want to govern when you had the numbers and I didn't complain." "Now it's time for the grown ups to handle business." "Go play somewhere I'm busy." <br /><br />They could've gotten a little of what they wanted had they worked with him. It looks like the President is going to end up getting 95% of what he wanted instead of the 80% he probably would've been content with. They could've kept a lot of that defense spending that many red districts depend on. Is it ok to laugh at Boehner after winning the election and the Democrat majority? I'm going to rub it in and make them(local wingnuts) feel like a bunch of jerkoffs.<br /><br />Vic78Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-81308838916928340132012-03-23T15:48:41.096-05:002012-03-23T15:48:41.096-05:00Jerry, what a succinct yet appropriate answer!

I think you wrote something different.

They treat the GOP like supermen that can do know wrong, while they bash and gnash their teeth at any real or imagined wrong turn the Dems may do. Real victories are never celebrated, just constant moaning and hand-wringing. How about we adopt a winning mentality, that is aware of the opposition, but whose knowledge is not always defined by them.<br /><br /><br />ebogan63.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-61858673386356760852012-03-23T11:37:56.304-05:002012-03-23T11:37:56.304-05:00The republicans have dug themselves into a hole. ...The republicans have dug themselves into a hole.
