   I know where I’d like to tell him to put his compromise.

   Compromise to a lib, dem, commie means they get their way. When have the Democrats ever exhibited bipartisanship?

   As a reasonable man, I am willing to bend over backwards to find agreeable compromise.

   Backwards, however, is not the direction that Liberals want Conservatives to bend.

   Once again projection at its finest. All the Demoncarats know is low life losers whose kids fathers are most of the time MIA. Then the mother has more kids with other loser sperm doners to get more government cheese!

   Nothing could be farther from the truth for the tea party folks. For the most part they are the ones who do have both fathers and mothers involved with their kids, not divorced and waiting for the next welfare check to come in.

   Get a clue Steny or better yet get a mirror and take a long gaze into it. You are part of the problem with your colossal stupidity.

   The thing I am unhappy about Steny is that you keep trying to take what little I have and give it to some malcontent. I am damned tired of you Democrats and all of your stripe. It would be a better place if you just ceased to exist.

   Last of all the only time you losers want compromise is when you are out of power. I hope the repubs tell you to bend over for what you so richly deserve. I’m not holding my breath for this either.

   Most of my family of origin is exactly the kind of people that Obama wants in America: absolute scum. I’ve already seen the end result of the Nanny-State and how it cripples human biological adults from becoming responsible, mature, productive, and fulfilled adults.

   Damn the Democrat Leftists. Damn them to failure. Damn them to total vexation …and damn their leadership to the Lake Of Fire (lest they repent and turn from their wickedness and embrace our Savior’s gift).

    Does Hoyer make the same presumption about the far left when they don’t want any compromise? People like Bill Maher, Joy Behar, and Keith Olbermann get extremely upset at Obama if he even hints about compromising with Republicans. Come to think of it, they are extremely unhappy people.

    It seems beyond arrogance because wouldn’t that imply that they are avoiding the truth as a matter of pride?

    I’m leaning toward truly deranged. They have a mental illness. They are living in a world where the words ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ have become just words with no clear meaning beyond political expediency.

    We can keep repeating until we’re out of oxygen that there is simply no possible compromise between right and wrong but they are really incapable of understanding why that is true. It would tend to explain why they might believe we are the ones who are crazy.

    Steny, compromise is possible with things that do not involve principles. For example, if the cost of something ranges between red and yellow, sure, we might be able to arrive at some sort of orange compromise.

    But a compromise on principle is not like mixing colors, it is like crapping in the water supply and, to us, Founding Principles are like pure water. Can you not understand that , from our perspective, it appears that you think we are mean spirited because we refuse to accept one of the two turds that you are trying drop into our ‘water’?

    NOOOOO Steny! We will not drink ANY of your foul water, we can clearly see what drinking it has done to you.

    Doug, you hit the nail on the head – their claims are always entirely unfounded – their entire philosophy is defined by nebulous, intangible emotions, and completely void of objective reasoning and fact.

    Unfortunatley for Dems, some people have actually conducted extensive socio-economic research regarding the demographics of the 2 primary political camps of contemporary America.

    The Journal of Business Economics published their following findings in their Oct/Nov 2008 issue:

    1. self proclaimed liberals/Democrats are 2.5 times more likely to have a criminal record than self-proclaimed conservatives/Republicans.

    2. self proclaimed liberals/Democrats are 2.5 times more likely to have mental and emotional disorders than self-proclaimed conservatives/Republicans.

    3.self proclaimed liberals/Democrats are 2 times less likely to donate money or time to charities than self-proclaimed conservatives/Republicans.

    4.self proclaimed liberals/Democrats are 2.5 times less likely to graduate from high school or attend an institution of higher education than self-proclaimed conservatives/Republicans.

    5. self proclaimed liberals/Democrats comprise 70% of the wealthiest income bracket and poorest income bracket, while self-proclaimed conservatives/Republicans comprise 70% of the “middle class” (so much for their belief in income equality)

    6. self proclaimed liberals/Democrats are 2.5 times more likely to be unemployed than self-proclaimed conservatives/Republicans

    Most of these conservative “dysfunctional” Tea Party families are intact with two parents, have jobs, pay taxes, have college degrees, are trying to save for retirement, believe in God, family and the Constitution of the United States. Many of these families raise “dysfunctional” children to do the same (I have two young conservative sons who vote Republican–as do their wife and girlfriend, they all have college degrees,jobs, pay taxes, believe in God, family, country…see the trend vs the four generational welfare of a Hoyer nanny-state constituent?).

    I guess I can add “dysfunctional” to the ever growing list of who defines me: an infidel, kafir, or as RFK, Jr said last year: a “crackpot for Rubio.”

    Don’t give these buffoons of the “most ethical Congress in history” an inch, GOP. May Hoyer’s name, forevermore, be connnected to Rep. Eric Massa.

    Hoyer is an old, out-of-touch fool who has outstayed his welcome. His policies have been tried, and found wanting. The American people have changed course, and he blames the people for not sticking with failure.

    He ain’t heavy, he’s my annoying liberal brother. Or uncle. Or cousin. They can’t all be like him in his family, can they? We aren’t going to “move forward” as long as liberals in DC and elsewhere spew garbage like this whenever they open their mouths.

    He could be right, though. We could always, I dunno, lean forward a little. Maybe we could progress an inch or two. Because believing that the government is becoming too powerful toward its citizens is a backwards notion that originated more than a hundred years ago.

    But the progression to socialism–where government becomes an addiction from which there is no place to go detoxify–is a regression from independence. So whether we’re moving forward or backward depends on your point of view.

    We’ve gone their way long enough. It’s time to move forward in a new direction.

    Interesting! If my family is any indication, there are four of us siblings. Three of us are conservatives. We Conservatives have all been married for over 40 years, our kids are successful and have gone to college. My regressive brother is a raving moonbat communist, and I am not exaggerating. He has been married twice and is now alone. His two daughters both dropped out of high school and got meesed up with drugs. One of his daughters has three “kids” from three different fathers. He once asked me how I raised such great kids and I told him I brought them up in the church. He kinda slunk away from that answer as he is, of course, an atheist. Anyway, that is just one story of conservative vs moonbat.

    By the way, Howard Dean also ragged on the Tea Party yesterday, saying they obviously woke up and discovered that this country wasn’t like the one they grew up in, and they were terrified of the “diversity” now. Yeah, the race card.

    The Tea Party is now in the middle of a very strong crusade against them. The left hates everything they stand for and will not let up. Get used to it and just laugh these fools off. They sound stupid to most people.

    I know I am a racist from a dysfunctional family with no education and am just clinging to my guns and bible, and am of course homophobic, mean spirited and outright crazy.

    But of course my parents were married for over 50 years, I have 9 years of college, I have been married to the same woman sine 1973, with one child and 2 grand children, do own a shotgun and a pistol, don’t hunt, religious to the extent that I believe religiosity has value in peoples lives as a moral compass, do hate the antics of the homosexual nutjobs parading it in the streets, but have 2 relatives who are gay and both are quite nice people with exactly my type of lifestyle except in the bedroom which isn’t my concern.

    To Steny, I am against government waste and the enablers who perpetrate it. You flushed 4 trillion dollars down the toilet over the last 2 years paying off your cronies. That sounds dysfunctional to me. Let’s see, a trillion dollars is a million million dollar bills, and 4 trillion means you gave out 4 million of those million dollar bills and we have 9.8 percent unemployment, millions of homes in foreclosure, a banking system in collapse with fdic takeovers every 3 days, an oil industry which you have shut down, an electrical industry you are seeking to shut down, and an auto industry which you nationalized.

    Those comments can only be found in the Democrat media play book. The GOP is, as a rule, more mature and better natured to issue and repeat such statements. Not that the Dems and LSM would take kindly to their own statements being hurled back at them.
