What Boehner must Do

 We all know the attempt to oust Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, failed. What many may not realize, is that it only barely failed. At first, Boehner seemed to be responding with indignation. Two of the “rogue” congressmen were removed from their committee appointments, with threats that more would be punished. But, based on several articles on Breightbart, the Blaze, Newsmax and others, Boehner seems to be striking a more conciliatory tone, lamenting that he had once been the 8^th most Conservative Congressman in Congress, and wondering how he was now considered “establishment.”-1)

It’s a blue, blue ocean

Do me a favor, if you like this please pass it along. There’s a great deal of infighting in the GOP and we must do all we can to lay it to rest and get everyone fighting the real opponents, which is not each other, but a Democratic party bound and determined to change us rather than Washington DC. The solution to the GOP’s problem is pretty simple from my perspective, I just wonder if the leadership of our party is just too old and jaded to see it. We need people to start looking outside the box and our reluctance to look for answers outside the same group of people who lost us the McCain race and now the Romney race with their focus on moderating the party which clearly isn’t working, we’ve done it twice now and it’s not working. The one race where we let the base do it it’s way was the 2010 race, and yes Sharon Angel and Christine O’Donnell lost but the reality is that in 2010 the GOP promised the world something different from the Bush/McCain years and guess what, all in all we won, so when outside the box thinking prevailed we did pretty well.

Frustrating Polls In Spite of Poor Economic Reports

Obama running against things no one is suggesting

Clinton gave a good speech, or so I heard. I cannot stand the Democrats any more, they are so extreme any one of them start talking and I tune out. Democrats too often jump immediately to “hate “and “racist” that it becomes hard to have a serious policy discussion. From what I hear Clinton broke that mold and did give a policy discussion, one that has a lot of pundits on the right worried, not because he was right, but because no one will fact check his numbers, which apparently need to be fact checked as he counts money used for Obamacare as though it could be used for Medicare at the same time creating a huge flaw in his math. You cannot spend the same dollar twice. I'm an artist not a mathematician, but double checking any politician's math regardless of party seems like common sense to me.

Republicans Should Go On Strike

Once more John Boehner has proposed a rubber stamp on something Obama wants. An extension of his gutting of Social Security for a full year… basically what Republicans proposed from the beginning but without finding offsets. The leadership complains that they can’t do anything else because we got hurt politically in the last round on this issue… No John… let me explain this since we “right wing extremists” seem to be the only ones interested in winning in 2012…

Obama’s behavior not normal for a president of the USA.

Things are bad, the world is on fire and there doesn’t appear to be a lot of hope for us on the horizon. There are nonstop protests on the street, civil unrest on the left and the right, increased regulation stifling business and economic growth, wars on multiple fronts against the will of the people, wildly out of control spending and the threat of looming massive tax hikes.

  Many doomsayers are running around screaming “end of days, but gold, buy gold,” and while I collect silver (gold is too expensive) I am not convinced we’re seeing the end of the world. We seem to move through cycles throughout history, we start free, then we prosper, then we become complacent, then apathetic, then debauched, then despotic and then finally we become enslaved to the monstrous governments we create. Then we always seem to look back and ask ourselves, “how did we get here?”

Dishonesty at it's best on MSDNC

It is true that most Republicans believe in Freidman’s mantra of “cut any tax you can, any time you can and in any amount you can.” Still one place we should not be cutting is Social Security aka pay roll taxes. Obama’s payroll tax cut has reduced funding to an already underfunded mandate, only further ensuring the insolvency of the program. It’s the only not borrowed source of revenue for the program. Despite that fact when Obama demanded continuing to underfund Social Security, which we oppose,  we offered it to him for another year as part of a compromise.
