PR in order to get 2014 votes and then WHAM!, back to sucking out as much from the Treasury as they can, suffering people be damned?

In the back, next to the broken window, by the restrooms.
Enjoy the view of the trash dumpsters in the alley.
Today's special is a plate of crow, with garnish.

Sorry about the smell.

Bon appétit.

He just wants to try and hold onto his job as SOH . . . He doesn't really care about the American people anymore than they (well he) do.

NOW all of a sudden Crybaby is not a 'Tea' partier after carrying water for them all of these years? Bullshit.

The mainstream republicans see a window in which they can drag the tea party out of the party. I still think it will not work. The tea party I know here in Oklahoma are crazy nuts. They will fight until the country goes down with them. Be careful, be very careful this cannot work.

Because they are short sighted, myopic, and never follow ideas thru.

Look at EVERYTHING the GOP has done for the past decade or two.... incomplete and never goes anywhere near the way they think it will go.... because they do not live in the real world. Remember "we create our own reality". Meanwhile, "real" reality never goes away.

now he claims he was not in favor of all that. The filthy pig led the " Stop Obamacare or Else" and called 42 or so votes to kill it - now he says the opposite.

Month's late and millions suffering the results of their blocking progress short, but I'll knock off a few of the many negative points he has for a shred of honesty in this late hour.

This is what happens when there's an insistence from within the GOP that their party be pushed to the fringes....eventually there is a revolt. It took long enough.

The current runs swiftest in the middle of the river.

These guys who are in the "Wake up/smell coffee" crew are realizing that they could lose their jobs--their safe, incumbent jobs--if they don't try to occasionally do the work of the American people.

The GOP fell into the rabbit hole going mad. Now the birthers have no recourse but to wish President Obama a very merry unbirthday to him.

Forward, backward, inward, outward come and join the chase!

What the heck if the GOP has a caucus race and insane persons to select. Nothing could better than a tea party liar that is insane to project.

Backward, forward, outward, inward bottom to the top,
never a beginning to offer a plan, there can never be a stop to offending the DNC skipping, hopping, tripping fancy free, the candidates started it tomorrow and will finish yesterday.

Round and round and round we go and dance for evermore, once we were behind but now we find we are forward, backward, inward, outward, come and join the chase!

Nothing could be finer than an insane jolly GOP caucus-race.
