All three are self-made multi-millionaires who understand how wealth is created.

By the way, I prefer Andrew Wilkow.

The guy who created "Girls Gone Wild" videos is a multi-millionaire who understands how wealth is created, but I don't think he should be calling the shots as to whether our nation goes into default.

Hannity is a college dropout who makes money waving a flag and reinforcing the ideas of small minded gullible people, yet the speaker of the house spends more time catering to what he believes than what most of the American people want. He's refused to raise taxes on the wealthy one penny, while the majority of the country believes that should be part of dealing with the debt.

So, a fringe ideology is behind his lack of compromise.

Am I to understand that some guy involved in the production of "Girls Gone Wild" is now advising the republican party? OMG. How rich. The irony of the compassionate conservatives and the religious right never ceases to astound me.

The guy who created the "Girls Gone Wild" videos is more credible than Barry.

Boehner will be called a "Rino" here soon because he seems to want to keep the country from going bankrupt. The Cons are just so predictable.

Boehner is looking pretty bad right now. Can't even control his own caucus.
Maybe if he spent less time talking with Limbaugh and Hannity he could get something done....

ETA: Should have read the whole thread before replying, the point was already brought up I see.

No one said that.

The previous posters point was the idiotic one that because Beck Hannity and Limbaugh make a lot of money selling garbage to idiots, they are more qualified to address the nations economic problems than elected officials.

Which is why he was the perfect "leader". Republican party is meant to be controlled by such things as "purity tests", not by individuals willing to work under a leadership.

The rational Republicans have to join the Dempcrats and kick Bohner and the Tea party to the curb. They do NOT represent how the majority of the American people feel about the Debt Limit or anything else.

Grover Norquist' pledge that they naively signed is more important to many Republicans than the economy.
