| Based on the dismal state of the union and after four years of doing exactly what Rush Limbaugh said he hoped that he would do, by any thinking person's standards President Barack Obama has indeed "failed." Yet, despite the catastrophe, on Election Day the American people inexplicably invited the President to spend the next four years beating the dead horse that he killed during his first term. The next day, after being MIA for months, Speaker of the House John Boehner crawled out of the tanning bed long enough to publicly assure the President

Boehner does not have the nads or spine to stand up to the socialist Democrat Party or Obama's agenda to turn America into a third-world cesspool. Only revolution or some catastrophic event can turn this mess around. Short of that, America is done.

Boehner makes far more sense than this columnist. This country has always been run best by people sitting down and talking with one another. Republicans will never get anywhere by being refuseniks. It may make for fun reading, but it is a terrible idea for our children and grandchildren.

I am writing my congress critters and requesting they let us fall off of that imaginary Fiscal Cliff.
That is the fastest way to expose the democrat lies about the "Bush tax cuts for the rich". When the sheep see how much they were saving under Bush's tax cuts, they should wake up to the fact that congressional liberals are deceptive.
Unfortunately, the republicans do not have the leaders required to do this.

#3, by sitting down and talking about things, we have gotten to where we are. Bipartisanship? Lemme explain bipartisanship........ Conservatives believe that child molesters need be incarcerated forever as we understand the incredibly high recidivism rate. Liberals think that child molesters need counseling and to be released back into society.
Bipartisanship has resulted in laws that........provide counseling and release the predators back into society.
I hope that every single pathology that is the direct result of liberalism haunts you the rest of your life.
But of course as a liberal, you'd NEVER live in an area impacted by YOUR policies. But guess what? With Tuesday's election? NOWHERE is safe.

Let the all the tax rates expire, let the sequestration kick in. No more phoney baloney negotiations up to the 11th hour, only to dream up another rube goldberg, kick of the can, to another deadline. Obama owns this mess. Let him deal with it. the whole charade of republican opposition makes me want to puke.

#3 What an appropriate screen name. Rabbits are timid teriffied creatures. The idea that you can sit down and be bi-partisan with Democrats (Socialists) is ludicrous. By bi-partisan, Zippy means "give me everything I want". He doesn't budge an inch on his ideas. If he can't get them through the legislative process he pouts and then issues Executive Orders which flout the Constitution. And Bohener does nothing. The recent election had the country split almost exactly right down the middle. How does Harry Reid interpret that?! He says Zippy has a "Mandate" to do what ever he wants and he is going to rig the system to eliminate the one weapon still available to Conservatives to slow the ultimate fiscal destruction of our country, the fillibuster. Please explain to me how that is bi-partisan. You what is a real "terrible idea for out children and grandchildren"? How about each and every one of them being saddled with a $ 200,000 bill to pay for Zippy's socialist pipe dreams on the day they're born.

Agree, let the system crash because that is the only way the US can be saved. We have not been a Capitalistic society in decades or a true Republic. We are a hybrid of capitalism with healthy doses of socialism, statism, and marxism. Crashing the system will hurt like hell and may very well fracture the US. The altenative is to slowly become at best socialist Europe at worst a banana republic with marxist policies.

This is the second satirical column today suggesting that the GOP should do exactly what Obama wants and let HIM take the hits for the excrement that will hit our fan the way it hit Greece's fan.
There is some merit to the idea, because if it's actually done, only Democrats will be blamed for the collapse. We'll have to suffer through it but the futility of socialism will actually be realized by those who advocate it. When a country collapses, leaders face the consequences. Getting out of Obama's way will ensure this won't happen again.
Unfortunately, massive destruction and deprivation may have to come first. But we expect that anyway with O's second term, so let's get it over with.

So you give them all they want and crash the system to show them this is the wrong path. If they weren't taught the correct path, why do you think the crash will educate them. I think all it will do is further weaken America and cause them to go feral. Like I ask my armed up neighbors, how many people are you going to shoot? NO! We got bombed at Pearl harbor and our response was not "Let them keep destroying America until they see the error of their ways".

Those who oppose the "vote present" approach: what do you propose? Be specific.
Fight to the "end"? You will lose - NerØbama has demonstrated his ability to go around Congress. Whatever small victories you may win will be blamed for the consequences that are inevitable at this point. You will be blamed.
Compromise? You will not get a result that will stop the inevitable. Harry Reid will see to that. You will only sign on to a doomed solution. You will be blamed.
You will stop nothing. You will only be blamed.
So what is your solution? Be specific. The clock is ticking.

"Well, what Boehner may not have anticipated is that come January working together on solutions will likely include figuring out how to prevent the President's ardent supporters from melting down when they realize that voting for him did not exempt them from the middle class tax increase that's due to hit hard when the Bush-era tax cuts expire."
Most of Obama's voters don't pay income taxes, why would they be concerned about an income tax increase?

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look
