Boehner is mentally-unstable sack of shit. He turned down a deal which was so favorable to...

[Poll_Blind]

...the Repukes it's not funny. Boehner is a fucking sack of shit. I believe he's out of his fucking mind.

1. Obama expected them to close tax loopholes. That's the problem. nt

[my2sense]

2. Many of them are

some sick bastards.

[notadmblnd]

3. he's a frickin drunk

He can't think with alcohol in him and he can't think without it

[spanone]

4. the teabaggers have him by the nuts

[Dulcinea]

9. We have a winner! *ding*ding*

The Teabaggers are the ones holding this deal up, and they seem to be willing to take the country down.

[KamaAina]

14. That must be a very tenuous grip

[EFerrari]

18. Not likely, teabaggery is down all over the country.

[localroger]

25. The baggers in the House are there through 2012

...and Boehner doesn't have a majority without them, either in the House to pass legislation or in his own party to stay Speaker.

[TDale313]

20. Yeah, I actually think

Boehner would love to have taken the deal. The tea partiers in his caucus won't let him. SOMETHING better happen this weekend or the market's gonna tank Monday. Maybe that'll scare some sense into these nutjobs.


I've been hard on the President's handling of this, but this is not good. They've GOT to get a deal. And I agree with his stance that any deal they come to needs to at least address this until after the next election. Ya think this is messy now, imagine if they were dealing with this nine months to a year from now.

Can the Republicans say Yes to anything? I'm thinkin' no.

[EFerrari]

5. I actually think even the Thugs are afraid of riots here. n/t

[Drahthaardogs]

6. So it all comes down on Monday then.

They better get ready to handle the ramifications on this.

[Bluenorthwest]

7. They are crazed and reckless

Boehner is in over his head. Hope the President knows how to hit this home.

[AngryOldDem]

8. I'm just speechless.

My only explanation is that the GOP has a pathologically driven drive to destroy Obama's presidency, even if that means destroying the country itself.

And what makes Obama think Pelosi and Reid will craft something better, if Boehner has already shown that he has the gigantic balls to say "fuck you" to POTUS himself?

Right now Obama is speaking about bipartisanship...that train left the station a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago.


ON EDIT: Boehner didn't return White House calls today! What a classless, sancitmonious piece of shit. At least have SOME respect for the office, if you can't muster the respect for the man.

[Poll_Blind]

11. "...pathologically driven drive to destroy Obama's presidency." +1

They're out of their fucking minds.

10. He turned down a deal which was so favorable to the Repukes it's not funny.

Then Im glad he didnt accept, arent you?

[Poll_Blind]

12. Separate issue- the point is the Repugs have made it clear they WILL destroy our fucking country.

I am a critic of President Obama's right-leaning policies. But make no doubt about it: I can tell the difference between someone who's working to destroy social programs in America and someone who is trying to destroy America, period.

17. Its a difference between sucks and sucks more

Im not sure theres a great deal of separation there.

I've always said the economic crisis wont be resolved until the wealthy hurt like the poor have been hurting, so maybe this is the road we need to take?

[gratuitous]

13. I'm guessing Boehner did that because he figures he can do even better

Let's all hold our breath waiting for the White House to come out foursquare for Democratic principles.

*CLUNK!*

[EFerrari]

15. We may owe Boehner in the long run

if they go with Mitch McConnell's idea of a clean debt ceiling raise bill.

[gratuitous]

19. In the universe of possible outcomes, that could happen

I could also jab a fork into an electrical outlet and poop out a pill that cures cancer. You'll forgive me if I don't do that, though.

[EFerrari]

24. We'll see. I'm entertaining a hope that Boner is too chicken

to take the everything Obama is offering. It's a faint hope, don't kill it. :)

23. When the US gets hit with credit downgrades etc., Pukes will just say We Told You SO!

They are banking on few people following the daily ins and outs of the negotiations. In that respect they probably are on solid ground. Most people do not want to follow this stuff. Pukes welcome chaos and confusion as the best environment for their style of politics by defamation and scapegoating.

They will say, "We'll have Hell to pay for Obama's librul democrat soshulist kenyan muslim profligate spending, like we always warned about, and now the bill is coming due. We tried to get President Obama to be reasonable but he quoted Marx and Jomo Kenyatta and the Koran back at us. He slammed his fist on the table and demanded the first born children of every family making more than 50,000 a year. We thought it would be expedient politically perhaps to give in to his insane demands; but for the sake of America's future generations of unborn taxpayers and achievers, we resolved to decline his offers to cut Democratic social welfare programs."

[Lorien]

16. They'll demand more because they know they can get it

that's one of the pitfalls of offering up everything as your first hand.

[Poll_Blind]

22. I agree. Obama has enabled them and this is the outcome: More selfishness.

21. It really seems to me that

Republicans will not be happy until they destroy this country. ねぼけんじゃねよ！
