| House Speaker John Boehner is under fierce attack from conservatives in the blogosphere and on Twitter over his “purge” of several conservatives from top congressional committees, as well as for his offer to fend off the fiscal cliff. “#purgeboehner,” tweeted Michelle Malkin, following committee changes that hit members, including Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.). “Boehner, GOP leaders purge conservatives from powerful committees; update: Boehner scoffs,” read a headline at Breitbart.com. “Tomorrow we should all call John Boehner’s office to remind him to call Congressman Amash,” tweeted RedState.com’s Erick Erickson.

Comments: The Republican Party is like a 34 year old kid who still lives at home, perpetually promising mom and dad he will go look for work tomorrow through hungover induced blurry eyes, all the while asking for another fifty bucks....
Its time to either kick their conniving arses out of the house or move and not tell them where you are going.

Boehner and his cabana boys, including Cantor and Ryan, own the "fiscal cliff" as they were co-conspirators with the D-Rats in its creation in the first place.

I said from the beginning that the House and Senate leadership composed of the "Old Guard" would be the fall of the Republican Party. See now how their survival is the ultimate goal? They are prepared to cave on all the fundamentals of conservatism if it means their survival as leaders.
The right tack for any principled statesman in this situation is sticking to your principles and remaining a true alternative once the fall of liberalism takes place. And it is sure to happen. When it does virtually ANY alternative will then be acceptable to the ignorant and gullible, the voters who now determine our future.

I´m calling John Boehner today to fill his or his staff´s ears with my displeasure.
John is not our friend nor our representative. He does not work for the people.
It makes my teeth ache that he thinks this whole game is "politics as usual" instead of the critical health and welfare of our beloved country. He needs to descend from his perch and really listen to the "little people".

Actually, conservatives haven´t delivered enough votes expect in isolated areas of the country, so far.
They´ll never make a dent in California, NY, IL, MA, NE, so stop whining until you deliver and stop acting like the sky-is-falling every time there´s a set-back.
Democrats build coalitions and govern.
We need to focus on fiscal responsibility, restraining the growth-rate of gov´t, making sure gov´t is efficient, productive and prudent with tax revenues, and attaching any Dem regulation that hurts business as hurting gov´t revenues (and how it will affect teachers, police and fire fighters - use their own phrase against them).
State, "we gave the President more revenues in our budget proposal than he was asking for, and he´s rejecting it. Therefore, he´s not interested in a deal, he´s trying to play politics. We look forward to hearing the Senate Democrat proposal now."
Make it short, make it simple to remember.

He got a round of golf with Voldemoor, got to keep his job and his Oompa-Loompa tan, plus a promise to keep his FBI file under wraps, for now. The only reason I can see that the dims picked Boehner for speaker is he is under their control. When a man´s not getting the job done, you´ve got to let him go. NOW.

Boehner kicked our Congressman off of the Ag committee. It will be the first time time since the early 20th century that Kansas has not had anyone representing us on the Ag committee. Tim Huelskamp is a true TEA partier, and of course, the left wing Kansas media attacks him every chance they get. He has voted against the faux wind energy and voted NOT to raise the debt ceiling.
Boehner needs to go.

Since Boehner has longevity, we must assume he knows politics. If he has made the calculus that it is expedient to throw conservatives under the bus, what does that tell us? Perhaps that conservatives need to regroup and work harder.
Shame on Boehner for caving. But more shame on conservatives that don´t take the clues from this.

As a Conservative, I am being called a toad and a whiner by posters on here. Since it comes from folk that do not care about morality or principles, only fiscal issues, I am not surprised. I realize the GOP is picking up folk from the Left to replace Conservatives in the Party but you still won´t defeat the Democrats. Why vote for Socialism Lite when you can have the real deal. So, keep calling us names and keep blaming us for all your failures. Just never call me a Republican and I will be ok.

I just sat on hold for ten minutes in order to give Boehner´s office a rant. Due to high volume it eventually dumped me to his answering machine. Hearing his voice before I left my message motivated my mind even more. I feel better.

Joh Boehner is a capable,knowledgable and honorable man. He is the man in the arena.I have been dismayed by the ignorant and reckless reactions to the election outcome. We lost because more of them - some of them dead- showed up to vote - some of them twice- than we did.
But some nicmmpoops cast their vote for people who were not even on the ticket - like that idiot, Ron Paul and others, or sat at home like vegetables. In the words of Casey Stengel,they don´t understand " how this game is played." And shame on us. Get behind and stay behind John Boehner. He is where it is. I will support him until the last dog dies.

re #26 -- I agree with you. Although I voted. We may have to create our own party.
True Conservatives need to follow the Reagan model. He dared to say he was against abortion, but didn´t lead The Cause for it. As far as my memory serves, he tried to stay neutral on Gay Rights & didn´t have to answer the marriage question.
The most important things he did was:
1) stood up to Communists, Totalitarians & Muslim Terrorists with real military power coupled w/negotiations 2) caused citizens to fall in love with, & be proud, of America again 3) unabashedly trimmed government growth & cut it´s spending 4) renewed our economy by using "trickle down" economics: cutting taxes & restrictive regulations.
He had morals, but the social issues were not a hard line in his policy platform. Who did he get to vote for him? A little bit of everybody. Immigrants liked him, Democrats changed their party for him, the GOP turned out in droves, the press couldn´t smear him: he gained the moral majority of this country.
The most important traits he had: 1) a handsome well-known face that was hard to throw mud on 2) longevity 3) charm 4) a great sense of humor 5) back bone 6) patriotism
Also being from the huge populated state of California was a big plus. This time around, that might not work well. It may have to be Florida. Or Texas, if the right candidate won´t come off like a cowboy.
You´ll notice none of our candidates this time around encompassed this model. It´s what we desperately need to overcome the media & the power players in our GOP. Boehner has pushed me to the edge. I´m resigning from it.

Is there anyone remaining with an IQ above room temperature who actually believes that the Republican Party believes in limited government, as defined by the U.S. constitution? If so, they have either been hibernating or have been in complete self-denial. Every election cycle the Republican Party counts on its “conservative base” to dutifully turn out and mark their ballot for whatever candidate has been selected by the GOP leadership. We are told ad infinitum that doing so will keep the Democrat liberal demons from furthering their agenda. The inside-the-beltway establishment has been chanting this mantra for years

On Sunday´s "ABC´s This Week," Dowd assailed CPAC for, in his mind, lessening its credibility by inviting conservatives like Palin and not liberal Republicans favored by the northeastern elite like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. “CPAC, to me, has totally diminished its credibility as an organization,” Dowd said

People continually complain that with the different faces who have disgraced the Offices of the President and Vice President, the one hundred (100) seats within the Senate and the four hundred thirty-five (435) seats within the House of Representatives, nothing improves for the masses, only for those who are elected and special interests. This is frustrating and we need to assess why, so we can change this ‘continuing resolution’. It appears that the GOP and the Democrat Party have merged.

For the past several years, congressional Republicans have focused relentlessly on a single message: Washington — led by President Obama — is spending too much money, and it needs to stop. But according to new Washington Post-ABC News polling, that laser-like focus isn’t helping Republicans win the argument over federal spending — with 67 percent of those tested disapproving of the “way Republicans in Congress are handling federal spending.”

Demographics are destiny. Nothing else makes history. When the changes ahead are shipped into denial is when chaos and disaster ensue. And the potential disasters America faces today do not come from global warming, nuclear weapons, the Russians, the hippies or the rednecks. They come from the economic division of America between the red states, which are rising in capital and prosperity, and the left and right coasts, which are receding in economic power. Demographer Joel Kotkin well outlines the transition in a Wall Street Journal essay yesterday title, “America’s Red State Growth Corridors.”

Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has been front and center during the latter days of the sequestration showdown, which is good, because he literally wrote the book on government waste. He produces a new edition of his “Wastebook” every year, chronicling the most absurd abuses of taxpayer money. It is wise for Republicans to bring up these horror stories when Obama is racing around the country and insisting that a 2.3 percent reduction in the rate of government growth means we can’t have firefighters or border security. Coburn’s Wastebook should be every American’s indispensable manual

At 11:42 a.m. on Feb. 14, a conservative online magazine called The Washington Free Beacon posted a dispatch about a speech Chuck Hagel gave in 2007 in which it said he called the State Department “an adjunct to the Israeli foreign minister’s office.” The report was based on “contemporaneous” notes an attendee posted online. An hour later on the floor of the United States Senate, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina urgently cited that statement as another reason to delay Mr. Hagel’s nomination as defense secretary.

I’m told we’re living in a Moderate Moment. After Mitt Romney lost the election, moderate Republicans started emerging from every corner of the country, from Northwest Washington, D.C. to Arlington, Virginia. It was time, they declared, for calm voices to prevail in the Republican Party. The Tea Party, the right-wing, the “Conservative Entertainment Complex” — all this must be cast overboard for the GOP to win again. The latest iteration of this came in Wednesday’s Washington Post from columnist Kathleen Parker:

Earlier today we posited that Congressional Republicans held a losing political hand when it came to a showdown over the $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts — aka the sequester — set to automatically kick in on March 1. We got a fair number of responses from Republicans who argued with the premise –insisting that under our logic the GOP should simply capitulate to Obama on all matters due to the fact that the president is the more popular figure with the public at the moment.

I am writing this newsletter in a very direct, no baloney, effort to get across how much trouble we Republicans are in and how real the internal party fight is going to be. I strongly support RNC Chairman Reince Priebus’ effort to think through the lessons of 2012 and develop a better path for the Republican Party. However there are going to be some very powerful opponents to any serious rethinking of Republican doctrines and strategies. It is appalling how little some Republican consultants have learned from the 2012 defeat. It is even more disturbing how arrogant their plans for the future are.

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday. Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999.

"There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"
