House Speaker John Boehner offered Wednesday to pursue a deal with a victorious President Barack Obama that will include higher taxes "under the right conditions" to help reduce the nation's staggering debt and put its finances in order. "Mr. President, this is your moment," Boehner told reporters, speaking about the "fiscal cliff" that will hit in January. "We want you to lead." Poster Comment: He's ready to be lead to Obama's lame duck a$$, so he can kiss it.
Boehner said House Republicans are asking Obama "to make good on a balanced approach" that would including spending cuts and address government social benefit programs.
"Let's find the common ground that has eluded us," Boehner said while congratulating the president on winning a second term. (Read more: Obama Re-elected as Crucial Ohio Goes His Way.)
The Ohio Republican spoke a day after the president's clear re-election victory. He said conditions on higher taxes would include a revamped tax code to make it cleaner and fairer, fewer loopholes and lower rates for all.
The speaker noted that during one-on-one budget talks with the president in the summer of 2011, Obama had "endorsed the idea of tax reform and lower rates, including a top rate of lower than 35 percent," the present top rate.
"We're closer than we think to the critical mass needed legislatively to get tax reform done," he said. (Read more: Alarm on Wall Street Grows as 'Fiscal Cliff' Nears.)
Boehner did not specify what loopholes House Republicans might consider trimming. Nor did he take questions.
His comments were generally along the lines of proposals by vanquished Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that also were vague on specifics. Still, the speaker's comments signaled a willingness to enter into talks. He suggested Congress could use its upcoming lame-duck session to get the ball moving on such a compromise.
"We can't solve the problem of our fiscal imbalance overnight...This is going to take time," he said.

#57. To: A K A Stone (#36)
Nothing compared to your 'hero', the war criminal, baby bush. How many babies and children did HE direct the killing of in the illegal invasion of Iraq. Hell already has a room set up for him and it is in the same block as Hilter, Stalin, et.al. You just can't be selective Stone. Murder is murder and jorge was the grand murdered of our time.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Uh-HUH. Please list all of the underlying assumptions of your so- called "analysis." Please provide all empirical sources of data, and the exact methodology of this "analysis." Please provide the hypotheses that you were operating from, as well as the null hypotheses. And THEN please provide the empirical comparison, results, biases and correlations of this "analysis." WOW. No, let me restate that in proper terms: WOW. Nothing- and I mean nothing- gets by you, does it??? THIS is the conclusion of your analysis- that one of the two corrupt sock- puppets would be elected? Such dazzling intellect must be rewarded! I recommend you work on a Doctoral degree... from the University of Phoenix (or some other diploma-mill)! Given your inability to detect moral and ethical lapses (due, I suspect, to the fact that YOU have no morals or ethics), your judgement of what's "right" is highly suspect. And the fact that mcRomneystain is on every side of every issue, means he has zero credibility with pretty much everybody, even the majority of dimwitted sheeple... (which means you're actually below most of those sheeple.) Bottom line: the only thing your "analysis" showed, is the inside of your ass. No worries, stone... here's a self-help book, just for you: The total # of registered voters (election 2012) was ~197 million voters. Barack Obama: 60,652,238 = 30.8% The U.S. government no longer has the consent of the people. "I am relying on my personal experience with Morons, which have been universally positive." -jwpegler
Fuck you,you insane piece of shit! Why don't you go crawl up yukons ass and just live there?
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
How many babies and children did HE direct the killing of in the illegal invasion of Iraq. Last I checked you voted Bush in 2000. Last I checked I voted Peroutka in 2004. Last I checked you support Obama the war criminal.
Fuck you,you insane piece of shit! Why don't you go crawl up yukons ass and just live there? I was just demonstrating your debate style. You proclaim something with no evidence and say it is true.
You have the attention span of a gnat,but not as much understanding. What I said was Romney was a globalist,and globalists were like communists because they want to control the world.

You don't believe in freedom of religion.
his lies on abortion, gun rights, small government. He would have put his hand the bible and sworn to uphold the Constitution...when in reality, everything he has done shows his disdain for freedom...
The implication is that there was an alternative to o'Bungler. And there was. I took advantage of that option... by writing in "Ron Paul." If you are implying that mcRomneystain was an alternative to o'Bungler, than please provide the EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE to back up such claims. Oh, don't worry, stone... I'm not really gonna' hold your feet to the fire, waiting for you to actually PROVIDE such evidence... and that's mainly because such evidence doesn't exist. There were advantages and disadvantages- from a long-term perspective- for either sock-puppet. Overall, though, what I wanted was precluded from happening, because useless fucking cowards like you allow the Kabuki theater to continue. How heavy are the chains you wear, slave???

How do you know WHAT he believes? Does he still believe the things he believed when the conservatives of the conservative state of Massachusetts voted for him to be their governor?

I have long believed and promoted the idea that their should be a "None of the Above" check box on each ballot,and anytime "none of the above" got the most votes the parties that ran the other candidates had to dig into their own pockets and pay for another election to pick a candidate. I can practically guarantee you that we would get better candidates with a policy like that in place.
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
The ten short term demands of the Communist Manifesto: 1.Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Your hypocrisy knows NO bounds, does it???

You don't believe in freedom of religion. I said that? WHEN? If I ever said it you should be able to produce my post.
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
He said he changed his mind on abortion. That troubled me. Maybe he was lying. I can't prove it. So I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. Since he would have no affect on it anyway. On guns. I disagree with the assault weapons ban. I think it to be unconsittutionaly. I don't agree but I can see how reasonalbe good people might want to put some restrictions on guns because they honestly think that it would be in societies best interest. Romney would have been a first term President. The Republicans were not going to pass any gun control legislation. Furthermore at worse he is a tie with Obama. Now Obama is re elected and going to the UN to push gun control. He wasn't perfect. He was better than Obama no doubt....NONE!
Lets start there. Where does Romney advocate that?
Lets throw this one out too. Where does he support that?
I never saw where he supported that either.
He doesn't support that either.
I've never seen him speak of this. Did he propose it somewhere?
I must have missed this one. Maybe you can provide me with a link. Please.
I'm sure idiots like stone would complain that we MUST choose between the best of the shit-bags, because they're still ELECTABLE... (which of course, misses the whole point) LOL.

I guess it could be said he is for this one. Are you against free education for our kids? Pretend the schools are good. I'm not for factory labor. Unless it is a kid working for his folks.
No I don't. You asked me if I was supporting Hillary. She isn't running for state office anywhere. I said no I support Rand Paul. You asked if I am moving to Kentucky. Case closed you lose.
"Ok simpleton. Do you know what a communist is? What about Romney is communist? To the left of Obama. Do you smoke crack?" You seem tense stonie, here, here is a consolation election cake for ya.
I am not claiming he did. The subject of Communism came up and I posted the 10 planks of Marx's manifesto. "Are you against free education for our kids?" You bet I am. Since when is it free?
No you can do what you want. You think Obama is to the right of Romney. So you are happy. At least Obama is anti Jew. That is what really matters to you.
Ok thanks for supplying the list and some common sense. The common sense being you never said he was a communist. Free public education is addressed in post 84. I sent my kids to private school until last year when it got to expensive.
Both men do not offer anything more than a false choice given to the voters to pacify them.
You bet I am. Since when is it free? I have been in the past. I think it should be done differently then presently. Like the money following the kid.
I voted for the bushes at least 10 times in my days (probably more than that) throwing in daddy and jr's governor stint in TX...primaries and all. At least I can admit my folly, you haven't the balls to. That said, 'you people' are never going to win another election with your neandrathal mentality. Move, get out...find another place to live that shares your views. OH...what? There isn't such a place? LOL
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Please provide a link to where I said that, or just admit that you're a fucking liar. You are such a lying, disengenuous, IMMORAL HYPOCRITE.

Schadenfreude is always Stonie's game.
You are being dishonest or your memory isn't that good. I've said stuff about Bush that I'm glad the secret service didn't come visit me.
OH...what? There isn't such a place? LOL Are you saying that I am unique? Thank you.
After the illegal slaughter in Iraq, I've had that visit and they loved my tomatoes.

It is more like this. I analyzed Romney and Obama. They are different and will do different things. My analysis lead me to two conclusions to keep it short.
1. Either Romney or Obama would be President.
2. Romney has not hint of corruption and what he believes in is much closer to what I believe to be right than Obama.
Mitt Romney: 57,810,407 = 29.4%
NONE OF THE ABOVE: ~77,000,000 = 40%.
