It would be great for the well being of this society if this happened. Republicans have shown themselves to be a disgrace in Congress, breaking the House because of its tea party contingent. Absolutely shameful.
Hmm. Well, let's see. They had the house AND the senate for the first two years of 0bamas presidency. But that didn't work out so well, did it? So the people spoke.
Now they have the house and the speaker of the senate. They seem to be the only ones running the place with any sense. They're trying to keep our country from going into financial collapse but instead, everyone has stars coming out of their heads for 0bama and refuses to consider that they are right. They have said yes to every single thing. Except ObamaCare. And for good reason, it's a mess and it hasn't even started yet. It's not like the HAMP program (didn't work) that was just about people losing their homes. This is serious, this is about your life. Your freedom, which you will never, ever get back if you give it away now.
I am completely non partisan - I support whomever is making sense.
BO and Dems: Want what they want and refuse to budge a bit. Lamenting the two party government that won't let them have their way.
Repubs: Want to compromise, but make a promise to the people that they would not fund this mess of Obamacare, they just want it taken out for a year so it's done properly. They've offered to pay to keep national monuments (who are paid for by you and me, yet we're not allowed in), they've changed all they could about the bill.
Prez says "Nuuyo! Not until it's just.the.way.I.want. People are suffering? GOOD! Then they will see what happens when you don't go along with me. And trust me, it is going to get a lot worse for everyone.
Awakes: read, educate, analyze, join together. Dems or Repubs, Libs whatever, we're working together to save this place.
Zombies: In a kool-aid induced stupor. Believe everything BO says. Cheers "Hahahah!" when watching videos of little old war veterans coming to see the memorial set up just for them, paid for by them and not be allowed to see. Maybe a few have a little tinge of 'this isn't right". They are gleeful when people start sharing their stories of job loss, that will show them! Then more and more - the government closing people's personal homes, property, livlihood. Some of these people are saying "Hey wait, I VOTED for you! TWICE! Why are you letting this happen. And BO says "It's the Republicans fault, they won't do what I want!!!" And some people listen.
But a few just a few, who start questioning, waking up....
But it is late for me and I must have a sleep. Hopefully, someone much more elequoent will come along and explain my story better. G'night all
Headline should read, 'America is grave danger from Obama'.
Glad you are concerned with the well being of the GOP.
The disgrace is Harry Reid. HR has hamstrung the legislature to prep for an executive order from Obama to save the country.
As the days go by it becomes more clear to the nation who 'has the explosives strapped to their chest', who the 'extortionist' is and that would be the divider in chief, Obama, the most vile and unethical politician in the country....holder is a close 2nd.
I sure hope more "MORE REAL Conservatives" run in primaries. They typically lose in the general elections.
Obvious to even the most casual observer, is the fact that that cannot be true. Otherwise, how would the 'Tea Party' have "taken over" the GOP, which is what you Leftists like to claim.
Don't you see the problem with your statement?
Additionally there is the fact of [real] conservatives, many of whom identify with the 'Tea Party' (at least in terms of their ideology, if not otherwise) having picked up governorships in the last two elections, and they also control more State legislatures than Democrats do. They are winning their races, not losing, as you claim.
Ted Cruz, in Texas (and I wouldn't pin any hopes on Wendy Davis for Governor).
As well, Scott Walker is still Governor of Wisconsin (despite a recall attempt).

You are mixed up. Conservatism, by definition, is not "radical." Leftism is radical. And it is Leftists who wish to "fundamentally transform the United States" to a European style, Marxist/Socialist central government, with the ruling elites, and the "workers," the serfs (like yourself).
We already see the evidence:
The government tells parents what food to pack in their childs lunches, and if it is not acceptable, it is taken from the child. They are also told what kind of play is acceptable, and speech codes ban certain words. Children are not free to be children anymore.
Diane Finestein wishes for the government to designate who is a "real journalist" and who isn't, for purposes of deciding who may be protected from revealing sources. Most bloggers would not be protected. Presumably, only those who work for a bonafide "news gathering" organization would be.
The above is what you support. Most Americans reject this radicalism, known also as "Progressivism."
GOP friendly polls also tried to tell us Romney would be president.
The polls were not wrong. The Republican base (for a variety of reasons that have been discussed elsewhere) did not turn out to vote. That and masive voter fraud (which, of course, you will deny — that is a given). Voter fraud is the reason that Democrats do not like voter ID laws; it makes it more difficult for dead people to vote, to vote in more than one district, or using different names, etc.
Voter fraud is what ACORN is involved in, and the are actively at work in every election cycle.
There is no "demise" of the GOP going on. It is alive and well. Once we get rid of a few more RINO's and kick people like Karl Rove out of their powerful positions of influence, we will have an effective and strong party, once again.
This is what scares the Leftists; they see the "Tea Party types" (as we are constantly referred to) gaining a foothold and they shudder. They know their agenda is in danger of defeat. That is why they jump on every conservative with a smear campaign as soon as their name starts cropping up in headlines.
Now, if we were to use similar tactics, Wendy Davis might be under severe attack right now. And, Leftists would be crying foul! Come to think of it, perhaps I should start doing some research on her.

wow, You need to get away from the PC and go outside. Maybe find some old newspapers in your garage from Nov. 2012 that you forgot to read. Get out and check out the fall colors have some fun.
Yeah, why can't the Republicans just give 0bama free rein, and just do whatever he wants them to?
A law -is a law- is a law!!! has nothing to do with gov't employees, they can take the matter up on the floor, like any other law ever passed! this is an OBAMA HATE/ MUST FAIL agenda-
and the whole world can see it. pathetic
They dont seem care anything about "the American People", as Boehner is always boasting. It's all about money, power and making sure that black guy looks as bad as possible so we wont ever trust another one in that CEO chair over a white guy. Period.
Racist! That's it. We're just racists.
Never mind the popularity of Herman Cain among conservative Republicans.
You people just don't want to admit that Obama is a total failure. His domestic policy has failed to produce jobs, as unemployment continues at a level not seen in 50 years. Personal incomes are down, not up, people are being reduced to 30 hours/wk from 40, and there is little to no growth in business. This is all mostly due to ObamaCare, the Progressives Trojan Horse, to "fundamentally transform" the United States.
His foreign policy has empowered the terrorist organization, The Muslim Brotherhood, which has taken over much of the Middle East. Obama not only enabled this, he orchestrated it. We have lost what President Bush gained in Iraq, and we are losing ground in Afghanistan. Our fighting men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, died in vain.
He facilitated the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya (the Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of al-Qaeda) which then attacked our consulate, killing four Americans, including our Ambassador, while Obama was AWOL (or was it Obama who gave the order to "stand down"). Then blamed the attack on a video, said to be "offensive" to Muslims! Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeated this lie, as did Susan Rice, long after the truth was known, making this entire administration look like the fools that they are.
Racism? Please. Obama is an incompetent boob, and a fool. He doesn't possess the intelect of a trained monkey, and when he isn't golfing, he is on the talk show circuit, spinning lies.
Obama is a national nightmare. The end can't come soon enough.
