| I had dinner guests and forgot to DVR the State of the Union, so I tuned in late. The picture of three politicians at center stage however gave me hope. On the left was just plain dumb as a box of rocks Joe Biden, so obviously aware of the camera, trying to construct a facial expression that was supportive and reverent of his boss. In the middle, the bloviating President. On the right John Boehner, who sat for minutes on end with an incredible demeanor filled with utmost disdain for Obama, barely able to contain his fury, while Democrat lackeys

It was disgusting to watch Landrieu leading the cheers as he laid out further evicence of the systematic destruction of America.

You mean my rep? The same one that had secret meetings on the budget with Our Dear Reader?
Glares and harsh looks aren´t going to cut it John. How about some actions that remind me of a Conservative for once?

When discussing Obama´s SOTU address it´s always a great idea to bash republicans.

Perhaps, #4, the bashing will stop when the Pubbies stop acting like big-spending democrats and follow up on their campaign promises.
Only under extreme pressure will they change, and other than the ballot box every 2 or 6 years, bashing is about the only weapon we have.

He was having a nicotine fit. Going 90 minutes without a smoke is recognized by the U.N. as simply torture. Having to listen to Obama for 90 minutes is inhumane torture.

The state of our Union is the worse it’s been since 1860. And it will only get worse. For one, we are no longer a Union of sovereign states but a collection of fiefdoms administered by a Federal overlord. Freedom, independence and liberty have all vanished from this country. The cause of the first Civil War was a flawed Constitution. The cause of the coming Civil War is an ignored Constitution. Facial expressions and bold faced lies are not solutions to the current problem. And compromise is no longer acceptable. In addition, a lazy and disengaged populace has abandoned its oversight of the goobernment duties since 1932. There are a significant number of liberty desiring patriots that now realize that the USA no longer holds the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and that bold action is needed to form a new country and goobernment that meets these inherent rights. Thus, last night’s Kabuki Theater was now worthy of a real patriots time. What is now needed is the grassroots uprising to address the enormous grievances we have with our Federal Overlords.

I am not going to hold my breath waiting for the repub leadership to take a stand. Our political leaders have fallen a considerable distance from those who once pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in defiance of tyranny and in the cause of liberty.

Amen #4. IMO, there seems to be an unusually large number of "republicans" bashing the GOP here lately. There´s really no need for demonrats to denigrate, there are plenty in the "party" who are more than happy to assist them in calling out Republicans who don´t agree with "them". Not very productive, but it sure seems like fun for some..

This type of thinking is what led to three million conservative traitors to stay home on election day. And don´t give me there was no choice, if you think Obama and Romney are the same, your too stupid to be allowed to vote. I´m glad I was never on a team with any of you, sports or business, you would have us all loseing before we began.

Boehner? Boehner? He was probably having a gas attack from too many canapes served up by the Establishment Republican Club pre-SOTU coctail party.
This hapless dolt has no idea how to outsmart The One.
If he had a set, he´d have skipped the SOTU and sent Cantor or Ryan to sit in his place.

I still hate the way the GOP so predictably caves to the Dems in these budget faceoffs, just as much as anybody here. Trying to put myself into their shoes has altered my perspective just a bit, though.
It´s got to be hard mustering the strength to face down the Dems every day, realizing that no matter how right you are, American Pravda and the MSM propaganda machine will vilify you, give them credit for any good news, and blame any bad news on you.

My sentiments, as well, #19. I´m am weary of the vitriol towards Boehner that I see on Lucianne. His critics seem to think he can´t do anything right, and the quality of their criticism isn´t very impressive -- they´re more snarky than constructive.

Constructive to me is two years of thousands of people taking the time and trouble to march on DC to help them get the message that we´re tired of their do nothing agenda. Constructive is the thousands of phone calls and emails sent to our pansy a**ed electives to try to get their attention. All to no avail. John Boehner is a do-nothing, spineless leader we´ve HAD to put up with for 5 years now. I remember the exact same postings from the last SOTU about him. His face showed anger and disdain, blah blah blah. And we´re farther down the road to Hell. When he stops dealing behind closed doors with Zippy and eating canapes with the enemy, I´ll be glad to give him the recognition he deserves. I´m remembering him pulling all the conservative committee leaders after the last election. Ptooooooey John Tammy Faye Boehner.

You´ll have to excuse me for typing anything bad about Boehner but here goes. When he starts impeachment proceedings as he should have months ago, I´ll say something nice about him.
Geez, I hope I didn´t hurt anybody´s feeeewings.

The controversy over the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attack last year began at a meeting over coffee on Capitol Hill three days after the assault. It was at this informal session with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the ranking Democrat asked David H. Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time, to ensure that committee members did not inadvertently disclose classified information when talking to the news media about the attack. “We had some new members on the committee, and we knew the press would be very aggressive on this, so we didn’t want

It is never good for an administration when a front-page newspaper article about an ongoing controversy begins as follows: “The White House offered a new account Monday of how and when it learned .?.?. ” That’s what readers of The Post awoke to on Tuesday. In trying to contain the controversy and protect President Obama, White House officials have only added to questions about what happened. Until this week, the story of how White House officials learned that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting conservative groups was fairly straightforward. White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was notified in late April

There are various reasons you might not care about the Obama administration’s spying on journalist James Rosen and labeling him a “co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor” in an espionage case. Liberals may not be particularly bothered because the targeted journalist works for Fox News. Conservatives may not be concerned because of their antipathy toward the news media generally. And the general public certainly doesn’t have much patience for journalists’ whining. But here’s why you should care — and why this case, along with the administration’s broad snooping into Associated Press phone records, is more serious than the other supposed

There seems to be bipartisan consensus that whatever the White House is doing to fend off scandal is making things worse. Howard Fineman sounds a lot like Right Turn these days: “White House aides are tempting fate with their reluctant, piecemeal and contradictory disclosures of what they knew and when they knew it, especially about a report on the Internal Revenue Service’s 18-month effort to target tea party and other conservative groups for special scrutiny.” The constantly shifting stories from Jay Carney and the IRS dissembling and pleas of ignorance only heighten concern that there has been serious wrongdoing.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

John Podhoretz has a good column today on the Obama administration’s travails. I did not know this bit until I read the column: Even more startling, the search warrant makes clear that the FBI already had everything it needed on the leaker, as the request for a search warrant features quotes from an interview that were tantamount to a confession. It asked that the warrant be sealed — in other words, that Rosen not be told — because knowledge might “cause subjects to flee”! Imagine it: Rosen, an on-air reporter

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s

Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
