They aren't willing to tackle entitlements and Ryan's budget increased the deficit.......I don't see anything fiscally conservative anymore....just a bunch of pissing and moaning about guns, abortion, and Jesus.


Juicing up an economy with huge tax cuts is just like a junkie mainlining smack. You feel real good and your problems go away, You don't give a damn about anyone or anything. This nation has been an economic junkie since 1981 when we made a deal with our GOP Pushers but just like smack it doesn't last forever and soon you will do anything to get more. Eventually our economy will make that trip down to the hospital morgue.

I couldn't tell you the last time I listened to Rush. And I rarely watch Hannity unless he has someone exceptionally interesting as a guest. I pay no attention to him.

Looks like you're dead wrong, but I'm sure you'll continue on your merry way with your foolish notions.


If Jindal wants to stop the stupid, he needs to be the first to go. The man is just plain creepy.
Too bad then that Rush is ruining it for the GOP.

Jindal is creepy because of his demeanor. His color (or hue) has nothing to do with it. I actually kinda liked him until his 2008 speech.


Yeah, blah blah blah. Rs aren't going anywhere.

Exactly the point! Repubs are going nowhere.

This is what Jindal recently did:

Let's see, lowering taxes for millionaires and raising them on everyone else...THE NEW REPUBLICAN!
Hey, isn't that "meet the new boss, same as the old boss"?

If this doesn't change I think that more center right and moderate republicans in the future (like myself) are going to start migrating towards blue dog democrats......the GOP as it is now is practically unelectable on the executive level...and it's awfully f**king sad.
How do you get fearful people who lack intelligence to "reboot?" They are not capable of it, and unfortunately they have overrun the GOP.
