It´s principles stupid!

The president is a liar. The Democrats will wreck the country for all of us. So......best lay the ground work for the "I told you so!". If we have a nation of idiots then we will all have to pay the price for their stupidity. Hopefully we can raise something from the ashes.

Looks to me like Fratto´s saying let the sequester kick in. I´m fine with that.

"Homo", said Mrs. Erectus,
"Tho our friends, the great apes,
Won´t respect us.
I think that it´s time that you can
Stand up and walk like a man."

Here is an opportunity for the seriously devolved Republicans to once again reach the Pleistocene level of human evolution.

What part of you have law proposed by Obama, voted for in both chambers of Congress and signed by Obama. What needs to be negotiated? And if you need to negotiate, why wouldn´t you start with the bill that the House passed?

At your peril, Republicans. Know when to hold ´em. It is the only hand you have. Fold and you LOSE.

The GOP may be at a tipping point.

To paraphrase Winston "if you won´t fight when you still have some chance you will have to fight when you have no chance."

The game has changed. Now the Demorcrats and Obama are not out to dominate the GOP. They are out to eradicate it.

Don´t you keep thinking that something will occur, something so bad, and the country will turn against Obama. Fast & Furious didn´t do it (one American killed and we don´t know how many Mexicans). Benghazigate didn´t do it (four Americans killed and rescued Americans have had their lips glued shut). Expensive Christmas vacation while the rest of us cut back on gifts and celebrations. Another trip, actually two, and the world is shut out; golfers not allowed on the course; planes in Aspen unable to land. For most Americans lower paychecks this year, and for Medicare patients less preventative tests permitted). And all those people who were out of work? Well most of them are still out of work. I do not believe anything will make him change unless he is impeached.

#5 got it right.

the sequester is another diversion by 0bama.

the debt limit is the big fight so 0bama is pretending to care about the small spending cuts in the sequester so that much needed larger cuts wont happen in the debt limit increase.


also, 0bama does not like to govern (or do anything but golf). it is easy to be prez when you spend a trillion more than you have. it is hard to actually spend only what you have.

How´s this:

What´s "sequester."

99.99% of this...country...haven´t the faintest idea what "sequester" means, or how it is defined.

Just another in a long line of meaningless slogans in a long line of meaningless contrived Bow-Boy crises.

What needs to be done is to quite playing the game.

Go on "strike."

What do you mean the GOP won´t win, sequester was Obama´s idea...he owns it...when does this person start taking responsibility for his own actions like the rest of humanity has to? It is high time we made our stand against this arrogent school yard bully...Washington Compost is washed up!

The Republican Party might very well be at existential cross roads. If they don´t stand and fight here, they will not fight anywhere. We will know soon. IMO they will break run and splinter.

I think as well that the Republicans are at a major major turning point. If they buckle because of that doom/disaster photop wth first responders yesterday, then there is no hope for them. Dry, tired-sounding talking points and not a fresh phrase or idea except from Senators Cruz or Paul.

Time to pin "the tale" on the O´donkey. There is video of the one talking up the sequester. GOP should spend some money for a prime time commercial demonstrating that the idea that O proposed then (sequester)is the idea he now opposes. It would be a stark example of hypocrisy--even if most of the public has no concept of what sequester means.

Despite unrelenting apocalyptic warnings, I could not care less what happens to the GOP. They have nothing to lose by doing the right thing, and nothing to gain by once again surrendering. Obviously, in a More Free Stuff society, anyone who advocates prudence will be a pariah. Our political system being what it is, lacking the integrity to cut a tiny 2% slice from projected increases in spending, its clear that economic collapse is inevitable. Plan accordingly.

When is the spineless Republican Party going to stick with doing and supporting what is the best and right thing and quit worrying about what sells or what political advantage they might get?
Obama holds all the cards.
But LoFo´s are waking up to him.
Let him make his mistakes.
