My new rep is going to be a Boner rubber stamper and will be lead on a leash like it was pulled by a dominatrix. That is just one reason he did not get my vote and I expect nothing from him. If I had a real conservative rep instead of just a {R} I would expect him not to vote for raising the debt ceiling. By doing so the {R}s are just admitting that they are not serious about really making the cuts needed. It's show time folks.

Cut spending. Especially the spending that promotes non-productiveness like welfare handouts.

The reality is they're big spending Republicans just like Republicans always have been. Debt will grow at an ever faster pace just like it always does when Republicans control any part of government.

Those are not Obama's wars. They are wars left over from the 1920's when the Brits were thrown out. The next war will be to restore BP's concessions in Iran. We cannot let the natives decide what is to be done with their oil. That would be bad for business.

I guess the Tea Party wants to teach the Afghanis and Iranians lesson.
