   I get more disgusted with RINO’s/Republicans every time I see any reference to this stupidity.

   Were they all in a cave for the last week?

   Were they all in a cave for the last month?

   Were they all in a cave for the last YEAR?

   The left has NO intention of being nice to anyone, and will absolutely eviscerate anyone with an R after their name given a chance.

   Yeah, that’s just what I want. Our supposed “representatives” playing footsie and holding hands with the same people accusing people like me, who believe in smaller government and despise socialism, of inciting mass murder because of those beliefs.

    Snowe is a Republican from Maine, but who cares, she’s still a RINO. In fact all of these Republicans are RINO’s that need to be primaried in coming elections. Their brotherly love will only get them a knife in the back from their brothers and sisters on the other side of the aisle when they are through with them.

    Lemme get this straight:
    The Demo-WE-WON-crats, who spent the last TWO YEARS bloodlessly ramming socialist policy after socialist policy through the House and Senate, alternating between ignoring, suppressing and evading Republican input - much less compromise (ooh ooh! is THAT viloent rhetoric too nowadays?!) - are now calling for bipartisanship?!

    REALLY?!?

    Better make sure that by “bipartisanship” they don’t mean the first half of draw and quartering.

    Yeah…what you said!! It is so obvious what they are trying to do…force us to reach across the aisle once again like we used to. Well, they made sure that was NOT going to happen by the way they treated the Republicans the past two years. Their complete disregard for any ideas or input, their ramrodding outrageous bills through without a single Republican yes vote, their nasty rhetoric, their taunting (remember Pelosi marching along with that giant gavel after the obamacare went through?)…and now that they have lost the House, they want “compromise”. Please, God, don’t let our folks fall for their deceit. Don’t let them forget what they are dealing with…evil forces trying to destroy our country. This is no time for compromise!! It is time to dig in and grow a spine. I watched Chris Christie this a.m. He is the kind of person we need ALL of our Republican Reprentatives to emulate. He is tough, stubborn, opinonated, non-compromising on his principal beliefs. There is no way he would agree to compromising with regressives on anything! And by the way, if we don’t elect a President in 2012 JUST LIKE Christie, we are toast.

    I’m going to re-post the comment I left at Sister Toldjah because…. well, because I’m lazy and I’m not feeling the luv lately.

    It would be the perfect metaphor for what ails our country: a one-party government locked arm-in-arm defying the will of the people. This is just political posturing substituting for honest debate. The voters are upset across the liberal-conservative spectrum for the same reason: our government is no longer responsive and accountable to the electorate. We have a right to be upset and civility (which is not exactly lacking among us grassroots Tea Partiers) will return when the constitutionally-guaranteed process is restored.

    Global fascism where corporations merge with governments to erase nations and borders presents a very bleak future for the world. America has been and remains the last best hope against such efforts yet we seem to be the HQ.

    They have won so far because of the money and the complacency of voters numbed by a good economy. Voters are no longer complacent. They are increasingly abandoning both parties, first to being independents and eventually gravitating to the Tea Party.

    The Tea Party demonstrated in 2010 that it can successfully confound the big money. That means we can win and the establishment knows it. Thus the shrill “incivility” among the elites as they falsely accuse conservatives and the Tea Party of everything vile and repulsive to what we stand for. They are desperate. A third-party candidate is suddenly a real threat.

    Some sound advice to the GOP in the words of Margaret Thatcher, “Now, don’t go wobbly.” The message of the election was not to work together – it was to stop the insanity! Gridlock is good – Obstructionism is OK – Partisanship is preferable. It means the system is working. If you accomplish nothing this year but arresting the growth of government, hyper-regulation and spending, well done! Be the party of HELL NO!

    I’d suggest Ayotte, Collins, McCain, Murkowski and Snowe just go on over and sit with their Democritter BFFs. Then people can see who they really are.

    I personally want to see and hear the Republican stand, hoot and holler as the Odopo fling his condescending vitriolic bs at the country on that night…instead of seeing the majority of liberals that carry on with their worshiping as they have in the past 2 state of the Union speeches.

    Good idea, maybe their constituents especially the Arizonians that voted for McShame will see the wrong in their votes over the years.

    Partisanship is what makes democracy work for hell sakes. What possibly could be for the better if all the reps voted the same. I’ll tell you, stagnation along with destruction is what you’d have. Exactly what happens when enough RINOS abandon ship and sail with the lefties.

    PLease, we need to be seated separately so the public can see the difference between right and wrong.

    If they all intermingle (like ‘diversity’), then the public will perceive a congress united behind the deceiver in chief, as if to show approval.

    1) Rob the Republicans of the photo-op of visually showing that they have the majority of the seats
    2) Continue the “Together We Thrive” branding and make it seem like Obama is “the great uniter” who did what no former President had done: bring the two parties together.

    How civil is it to claim the sorry economy is the fault only of Bush, while ignoring activity of politicians involved with Fannie/Freddie?

You’ve labled me and others here RINOs, stupid and worse based on our voting against Obama, as Doug Powers did. I’d guess Michelle did too. Just curious why your assessment doesn’t apply to them as well. You’ve never answered who you voted for in the general, or if you voted at all. Never mind.

    FWIW, I contributed what I could to local campaigns and spent most of my free time last fall working phones, mailing, meet & greet, posting signs, manning booths, recruiting etc for conservatives around N Central GA, and we took back two of the 60 House seats. Not claiming credit, but felt damn good to do something more than talk. If my conservative creds don’t meet your standard – that rates about 998.5 billionth on the list of things that concern me. What did you do? Never mind – That concerns me less.

    Most of us cruise the same sites Phil. In all honesty, your stalking/attack victim meme is old and really paranoid/obsessive/creepy. You’re projecting. I’ve never gone after you unless you’re slamming me or someone else. Show me otherwise. [cue crickets] You are good at pushing people’s buttons, then crying fowl when they push back – like you did with Rags. I happen to know you indeed played a role in banning him.

    Tell Rags I miss him here! I can’t figure out why he would be banned.

    As far as Phil is concerned, he has many good posts, but yes, he is a bit schitzophrenic. I have mentioned this before. When I first started posting here, I asked an innocent question and he went off on me, called me a troll, amongst other things. I was appalled and frankly, intimidated. I thought about not posting here any more because I thought I would be blasted if I said something wrong. That was thanks to Phil. I do believe he is a true Conservative, just a bit over the top and a bit hair-trigger! (Sorry for that “violent” reference!)

    Ayotte
    Collins
    McCain
    Murkowski
    Snowe

    Make note of these names. Put them up on your refrigerator. Put them on your calendar for their next election. These are the people we need to get rid of if we are to save our country! There are others who have to go, of course. But these are some of the worst, most constant offenders. Murkowski, Collins and Snowe ARE NOT REPUBLICANS! I have no idea why they ran as such. Why don’t they just be honest and change to dem? Did I say “honest”? Therein lies your answer.

    Will do. Yeah, most folks here say the same. Why don’t you drop a comment on his blog? He’d appreciate it! Don’t think he’d want his email posted here. Rags did get drawn into some mud slingin’ with Phil and R4L, but he said nothing worse than they did. Getting him booted was way over the top spiteful and vindictive.

    I think the whole Barry/Harry/Nanny nightmare has weighed heavily on a lot of us – but it binds most of us together in common purpose, no? Phil seems to have lost track of who the enemy is. I used to enjoy dialogue with Phil, and still respect his opinion when he’s not condescending and snarky, which is more and more. Geez, I’m thinking some of have been here 4-5-6 years already. You and most others make it like family. Appreciate your take – Allways dead on target. Dang! Hate speech breach! Storm troopers at the door…I think I’m in big

    Somebody better tell Michelle that I have the power to banish people from her blog. I’m sure that’s news to her too. How can anyone be trusted with such awesome power?

    I have a better (and cheaper) solution to this pressing, critical issue; let OweBowMao give the address from the Oval Office. That would save big on security costs, no?

    Better still, Boehner should grow a pair and withdraw the invitation to President Obama to enter the House of Representatives. Instead, the President can submit the State of a Union address as a written letter (which was actually the custom in the early days of the United States):

    From Wikipedia:

    In 1801, Thomas Jefferson discontinued the practice of delivering the address in person, regarding it as too monarchical (similar to the Speech from the Throne). Instead, the address was written and then sent to Congress to be read by a clerk until 1913 when Woodrow Wilson re-established the practice despite some initial controversy.

    One custom I’d very much like to see return…

    she’s from N.H. what else would you expect, said from experience as I live in Orygun. the same would apply here. The last Republican senator we had was a RINO also. ran the family veggie canning company with accusations of using illegals but he wouldn’t use E-Verify. I did not vote him in his last re-election attempt in ’08. In ways I was wrong for that, in ways I was right and all RINOs need to lean the lesson.

    Are they going to sing com buy yuuu before or after the propaganda speech or both times?

    ——-

    the left is trying to minimize the last election anyway they can…let’s see what the new congress has to say about all this “can’t we all just get along” crap.

    I’m waiting for when the time is right and Boehner tells Odummy…”we won”. a phrase Odoppy seem to relish saying himself.

    Hey Swede…was R4L banned too? Here’s hoping. I do believe that was the one I had problems with too…very stubborn…his/her way or the highway as I recall. And pretty much called me an old fool…emphasis on the “old”.

    I hope you are o.k. Did you get rid of the storm troopers? If I was there, I would have used my cast iron skillet on them, and probably been put into a re-education camp.

    Oh, as for posting on Rag’s blog, I tried to get into it a couple times but wasn’t able to. Maybe I am just dense, but it didn’t seem very user friendly and I gave up. I’ll try again.

    Since the thread is dead, I’ll play.

    My question @#41 was intentionally and obviously loaded, and you answered exactly as expected. Ad hominem – RINO. If you answer, it exposes your hypocricy. You’re using the RINO card exactly as the libs use the race card. If someone disagrees with you…RINO! You do realize among most conservatives, your devaluing traditional conservative social values (pro life etc) makes you a defacto RINO, right? I don’t agree with them either.

    Have you done anything to make a difference other than post blog comments? RINO. CINO. Whatever. Don’t really expect a reasonable response, but give it a shot. Oh spit – Hate speech again.

    I think R4 is still about, but like other roaches, doesn’t like the light. He actually posted somewhere that he does his shtick because he likes to mix it up. At least Phil has a position he’s defending.

    I AM VERY FINE! GOD BLESS AMERICA help! AND THE PRESIDENT! FOX NEWS IS EVIL! THANK GOD FOR OBAMACARE…

    Yeah, I’ve suggested Rags try a another provider. WordPress offers free blogs that are much more comment friendly. Now he’s talking about putting some cash into a really good format. I’m trying to fill in and keep content fresh when he gets busy with the real world. Don’t even really care who reads it. Taking all this frustration and anger and writing about it is kinda theraputic. Like a punching bag with Barry’s face on it…Oh no! Here they come again.
