our system is about mitigation really... a lil give and take... it can't be a "my way or the highway" system.
you ARE getting a despotic collectivist healthcare system..
if it wasn't Democrats bringing it to you, it would be Republicans.... no doubt about it.

I agree that we already have a one party system of sorts... but i'm completely uncomfortable about having one in earnest...
I need you conservatives to mitigate the stupidity of progressives.. and i need progressives to mitigate the stupidity of conservatives.

for Christs sake, we all know you aren't going to allow anyone else in the big plantation house, ya might as well let us field hands think you guys are doing something for us once in a while... just keep a check on each other and we'll keep pretending y'all actually give a **** about the rest of us.

It isn't the stupidity of the Progressives that's the problem, it's the stupidity of the voters. An ugly fact, but true.

So you're really not serious about negotiations. I just wanted to force you to admit it. And I have.

I have no clue what this meme nonsense is about. If your dem masters push for gun bans, cutting the military to the bone etc, the dems will take a beating akin to what they took in 94
 
GOP In Grave Danger Of Losing House In 2014....

Makes me wonder, what do they have to lose by lighting a match and watching things burn?
 
head of joaquin said:
He should negotiate, I'm agreeing with you. He and the Democrats should sit down with Boehner and demand a tax hike on the rich, cuts to the military, excise taxes on financial transactions of the rich, banning guns, and strict regulation of the banking industry.

Let the negotiations begin!

Talk about extreme, Democrats are not even that stupid to even begin to ask for such legislation.

What is burning is Obamacare. What is in danger is the Dems losing the senate and the WH.

well, if you lived there and registered to vote, you'd definitely know it... if ya don't live there, it's irrelevant to you anyways <shrugs>
I don't know any other districts besides my own...

there are maps that show the borders of each district of each state ( don't expect the border to make sense.. gerrymandering has gone on non stop for much longer than i've been alive)
I'd show you the government site that shows the map, but the website is shutdown because of our lil idiot crisis here.

what is it about partisans and their irrational predictions?...
millions of "impending doom for <insert party/ideology>" predictions are launched on the internet every single day... and they never come true....ever.

y'all need to stand in the corner with the folks predicting the "end of days"

What ... republicons eating their own?
That's not a prediction bud ... That's happening right now!

"Conservatives Eat Their Own for Profit." That's the extraordinary headline leading the front page of Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions's website. It's perhaps the most dramatic sign of a deep rift within the GOP.

The headline leads into an op-ed attacking Jim DeMint, which Sessions has posted at full length on his site. Authored by Brian Walsh, communications aide to Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), the piece is a response to Jim DeMint's attacks on Sessions.

DeMint called Sessions a RINO for opposing Ted Cruz's push to defund Obamacare as a condition of funding government. Not only that, DeMint's Heritage Foundation has threatened to "actively recruit and fund a primary challenger" against Sessions for being insufficiently conservative.

A Jim DeMint ally said of Sessions, "we can't sit back and let wishy-washy Republicans like Pete Sessions destroy our freedoms."

Sessions isn't much of a RINO by most definitions. He can take a lot of credit for the many Tea Party congress members elected in 2010, when he was chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

The op-ed not only rebuts the charges against Sessions. It also accuses DeMint and his workforce at Heritage Action of making a personal profit out of fundraising. "Attacking Republicans is apparently a very profitable fundraising business," the op-ed concludes.

When the moderates and even not so moderates refuse to play TEA crazy for the big money like the Kochs, they are threatened with being primaried.
The money not judgement is making the decisions for your party.
Your party is doomed to implode.

no.. the whole " the GOP will implode!" nonsense... nonsense that progressives just can't stop predicting.

I'd welcome both parties imploding and disappearing.. but it won't happen... it's nonsense.

"eating their own" is healthy.. Democrats should learn to do it once in a while.

And this is why the tea party wants to punish America: they elected a black president who passed health care reform. The tea party just can't come to terms with that.

So you're saying negotiating extreme positions is stupid.

Oh the irony! It's like clockwork with the tea party.

Sure you do, but you feel foolish since I called your bluff and showed how dishonest the conservative position in.

I'll let you stew in it.

No I'm saying not even your own party has the votes to pass anything you propose. So yes in your case your extreme positions would not be supported by your own liberal party. Try again.

BWHAHAHHAHAHH!

Oh the friggin' irony. You just never disappoint!

God, I really love this "democratic masters' meme. It's such perfect teabaggery. Such a wonderful nonsequitur, topped of with innuendo of B&D (a common tea party theme).

Meanwhile, it looks like the GOP is going to be gone from the House in 2014, but I predict they will be recalled in significant numbers well before then.

Like the Nazis retreating after Normandy and who made them retreat? Let me answer that. Our military, the same military you want to cut. Funny how you champion them in Normandy but now want to cut them, or is it eliminate them?

Yes the Republican party has the votes to repeal Obamacare. Not like you, who could not get your own party to support any far left extreme position you would propose. You see the republican's are united to repeal Obamacare, unlike you who could not get your own party to support your extreme proposals.

The Tea Party does not want to punish America, they want to fix it. It's our President that wants to punish America and successful Americans. As for playing the race card, why does Allen West get so much support from the Tea Party? Hint: You're wrong, yet again.

It's still my business we need to know who controls what areas and how many seats they control and knowing where it is helps with that. Though most of our ridings are tossups except Alberta (always Conservative).

The Adults are busy right now, we don't have time for childish fancies.

That way the grownups want to talk about political philosophy and policy without having to constantly reassure feeble minds that there is no racist boogeymen under the bed.

You know, about the only time that Obama's race comes up for consideration is when a Leftist runs out of anything remotely resembling a coherent argument. It just isn't important to the Right.

What does "black" have to do with anything? You sound racist.

But Obamacare does have something to do with the American people, it's a trillion dollar failure.
