I don't like any of them. There are about 40 good people in the House and maybe a half dozen in the Senate. That's it.
All but 4 Republicans voted for more spending and higher debt. You need to remember that.

There isn't any real leadership Congress and there isn't any sense of urgency. Newt Gingrich is right about this -- Boehner should be passing a new bill every week to cut waste, streamline taxes, reign in our of control regulatory agencies, etc. They aren't doing it. Sure, they passed a budget and it died in the Senate. Yes, they passed one bill to cut the projected increase in the debt, and it died in the Senate. Now, they are just sitting there doing nothing. This is why people are pissed at the Congress. We need clarity. Clarity would be the House passing a flat rate income tax; or consolidating the 72 federal welfare programs into 2 or 3 programs; or passing a sane and needed infrastructure bill that is paid for by spending cuts elsewhere; or passing a comprehensive "all of the above" energy bill that reigns in Obama's crazy regulatory Czars... They should pass the bills and then blame Harry Reid for doing nothing. Instead, they are doing nothing and opening themselves up for attacks from Obama. I don't trust that they will fight back against big government proposals from Romney. They will just go along like they did under Bush.
All but 4 Republicans voted for more spending and higher debt. Utter nonsense. If you are talking about the Ryan budget, it decreased projected increases in spending and new debt by $4 trillion over the next 10 years. Is this enough? No. I preferred Tom Colburn's budget that reduced projected increases in spending and debt by $9 trillion over the next 10 years and gave us a balanced budget at the end. But Ryan's proposal was much better than the massive new spending and debt that current plans call for, let alone what the nutty Kenysians want. Right now, I'll take any progress over no progress or making things worse.
Now, they are just sitting there doing nothing. They've actually passed ten or more bills that Reid blocked to date related to the economy, the deficit, trade, etc. And lets be honest, its campaign season. Not by the choice of the House GOP, but the choice of the most desperate administration since Carter at this point in 1979. Finally, I don't see any 'big goverment proposals' from Romney, and I am watching closely. That kind of thing flat out died with Owe-bama's insane stimulus that failed, and the equally insane Owebamacare. Basically, what you are asserting here is Romney, or whoever the GOP nominee is, desires to be what Owe-bama undoubtedly will be, a one term failure. Sorry, I don't see that kind of counter personal interest thing happening. I do understand the tendency towards a jaundiced viewpoint. I just think it requires ignoring multiple special elections, and a landslide last November, combined with ignoring political types think self preservation first.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
If so, then no one knows about them. A great leader is part visionary and part salesman. Boehner and McConnell are neither. Boehner did not architect and lead the landslide in 2010, like Gingrich did in 94. Boehnher just happened to be there to benefit from the results. Now, he's not leading. This is a problem for them.
It called for increasing the federal budget to $4.5 trillion by 2019, and adding $6 trillion to the national debt.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
Which is $4 trillion LESS than the current projections. It's called progress.
So basically the Tea party doesn't think the government spends enough or has enough debt.

What do you know, we agree on something. This video was compiled by conservatives alarmed by Romney. I found it interesting because it lays things clear this guy panders to a crowd much too much for his own good if he wants the GOP nomination. This guy as POTUS would do whatever it takes to feather his nest. He's more for himself then the people. I know Obama can beat him. But I never want to see a person this slimy and smarmy become a nominee to any party.
Just stop it. Go play your games with yukon or mad dog or gnu no taxes, but don't do it with me.
Obama will top out at 43% of the vote no matter who the GOP nominates. The guy is too incompetent to get any more than this. Most of the independents will abandon him just like they abandoned Carter and the first Bush. The only way Obama can stay in the White House is if someone substantial from the center-right (like Perot in 92) runs as an independent and takes all of the swing voters away from their default choice (the GOP nominee). The only person with the national persona that could do that right now is Donald Trump. I don't think that he is going to do it. We're going to be stuck with Romney.
We'll see if he indeed becomes the nominee. I would like to see Cain nominated. Now, his matchup with President Obama would be an epic battle. It would be two marketting ninjas going head to head. The slugging would go all the way to round fifteen. I might add that ome really foul racists would probably have their heads explode too. Talk about a win for the general human environment there. ;-)
Good. The racists infected the Democrat party for most of the nation's history. Now they are trying to tag along with the GOP. Nominating Cain would send them somewhere else. Good point.
Actually they are all there, viewable, if you want to look jw. Fox has reported them for a 24 cycle every time one is passed, then Reid announces he won't allow a vote. How you blame that on Boehner or McConnell (who I'm not a fan of) is beyond understanding.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Ah, wrong on multiple counts, AKA Stone, and Ferret. 1. LBJ never wanted to be President. 2. LBJ could not have been elected President without being VP, then President first, under the bizzare circumstances of a POTUS assasination. 3. No man has ever run for POTUS without 'personal ambition' so thats simply a throw away line thats totally meaningless in the scope of the conversation.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Bull. Then why did he want the Democratic nomination in 1960? Kennedy didn't chose LBJ because he liked him, it was a politically expedient move to put him on the ticket to bring his faction in. And looking at how close that election was in november, that was a wise move for the moment. There is much disturbing indications that LBJ was one of the powerful people who were able to kill JFK and cover up their crime and keep it out if history - for now. That belief would not have any legs without the irrefutable truth that LBJ wanted the presidency.
He didn't.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Sure he did. And he was upset that a Catholic beat him for the nomination.
He did. He was a powerful man in the Senate who would not have been a write-in at the convention if he did not sanction and bless that being an option. Conventions were different back then, and Johnson was too smart to run in the primaries and lose being his appeal was mainly as a favorite son of Texas. He did not like being number two, and would not of run for a term of his own in 1964 if he had not had an agenda in this regard all along.
He was one of the most powerful SML's in the last century, but his own bio says he never wanted to be VP or POTUS. I don't take anything from wiki seriously, on ANY topic.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
lmao

It was later thought he wanted to get it via the back door to prevent disclosure and discussion of his shady past.
You obviously were a thumb sucker at best, during that era.
Well, it's hardly just on Wiki. If I was worried, I wouldn't of bothered showing off the candidate gallery in that link. Wayne Morse of Oregon also ran and as a student at the University of Oregon I specifically focused on that year's presidential contest from primary to the general. Instead of stubbornly going along with your first wrong impression of te past, you should verify, then correct your statement when you see you are wrong.
Do you think he would actually state in writing that he coveted the position of a man who was assassinated? You must have been born yesterday.
I voted for Kennedy in first grade and but scant years beyond that stage, but as an Irish ethnic person who grew up in New England, I have always been deeply interested in John Kennedy and it was tragic his life and time were stolen from him. Johnson was a main mover in the assassination, and he was willing to kill to be president.
And there was only one man who had the influence in Dallas to pull it off.
That's not the point. Most people don't have time to look. The GOP House need a visionary / salesman who will articulate and sell a simple program that busy people can get their arms around. Gingrich did this with the Contract for America. Boehner has not. He's not the guy.
I was addressing THIS comment you made, jw. And yes, it is the point and the 'rebuttal'. That the leftleaning media isn't reporting it so 'enough people' know it is true, but beside the point.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
rotflmao. I love irony on a Friday, Mike.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Your support of Obama contradicts that statement.
I was addressing THIS comment you made, jw. I know what you were addressing. Thanks for addressing the point. One point that I was making is that there isn't anyone in the GOP House that is selling the fact that they are doing more. On the occasion that you even see Cantor or Boehner, they make the same stale points, which never mention JOBS. Obama's program doesn't have anything to do with jobs either. His program is to punish the successful. Yet, he is on the stump selling his program of envy as a "jobs program". The other point I was making is that 10 bills in two years is not enough. They passed a couple of bills and then bellyache that Harry Reid won't vote on them. Now, they seem to have given up and are waiting for the election 14 months from now. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID... It demonstrates a complete lack of leadership.
Are you EVER correct about history, Boofer? EVER? Humphrey was to run a "show" campaign in 1960 to dispatch "The Boy" - as LBJ called him. And then, HHH lacking enough votes for the nomoination but in the lead would propose LBJ as a "compromise" candidate with HHH as VP. Do you really ***think*** it was a coincidence that HHH was named LBJ's VP?
Stay Hungry...Stay Foolish --Steve Jobs
I voted against McNasty and the gsrbage palin kid avery bit as much as I voted for him. Now I want Ron paul to get the GOP nod to win the general. So you only wil dial 'ignore this post' any time you obsess about the 2008 election. I also supported Nixon in 1968 and think Goldwater should of won in 1964. But I am no longer a GOPer or a Democrat these days.
Should have...
Désolé Mec, ce n'est pas l'intention de moi de causer offense. English ain't me first language anywho. Well, that is if you count my past lives.
-- You screw up the then/than things too. You seem to adapt better than Boofer.
I had a cross hemisphere injury when I fell out of the tree 43 feet to the pavement from my left frontal lobe to my right parietal; which is the speech center. I also studder a bit like I did in the year after my injury when I'm tired. I got kicked gently from speech therapy at the Vancouver, WA VA rehab hospital I resided in for some months after I nearly died. I was told I have more language capacity then most patients my therapist has seen, so there wasn't much point addressing the stutter, loss of ability to pronounce some complex words and occasional malipropisms. I'm heals, do much better, but will always see some affect of my injury. I just thank the Goddess I didn't lose so many brain cells I was rendered incompetent by virtue of being made into a conservative. <./teasing>
