The best thing about Bill Kristol is is perfect record. He is always wrong.

fred thompson … the same fred thompson currently shilling reverse home mortgages for the olds on cable channels…

Awwwww, but the Great Orange Shithead has war criminal and arch-douchebag Allen West ready to back him. Why so sad, Tanman?

Boehner: “get your ass in line.”

bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa …

Bill Kristol says any Republican who votes against Boehner is objectively pro-Obama

.

Where have I heeard that line of reasoning before? It sounds so familliar.

Great post, Blue Texan. Is anyone taking bets as to whether or when these boobs will vote a clean bill to send to the Prez? Will it be before or after higher interest rates are applied?

Remember this.
For rethugs/teahaddists. Their politics shapes how they see reality

I really don’t think there will be a default. In the end someone will stop this shit. They are not all that far apart now anyway.

The Wall Street Journal Rupert Murdoch is at its his cattiest.

Fixed it.

it’s very sad the baggers don’t understand how much they are looked down upon by their ‘leaders.’ but in truth, it reminds me of the way moderate liberals also don’t understand how little they matter to the democratic elite establishment. average american baggers are props for the right, to be used in the media when suitable. average american liberals are little more than checkbooks to be used during the election cycle. outside of places like here, no one speaks for either group.

The Tea-Party fanatics are not the same as the so-called “Religious Right” fanatics, but I think the idea of the US govt. defaulting is to the Tea-Baggers what the Rapture is to the “Religious Right”. That is to say, something that they very much want to happen, because it will prove that they’re right and we’re wrong.

So I don’t think they care at all what country-club Republicans and boardroom Republicans say. And those who are disposed to believe Fox and Tea-Baggers will indeed continue to blame an imaginary Marxist-Kenyan madrassa devil baby.

Those people don’t realize it. they really believe they are on message and doing what they were sent there to do. Crazy, but happy.

Make no mistake (as somebody used to say), the people in charge of this country are not going to allow anything to happen which will cost them money. They have decided that the fun time is over, and the pipsqueak congressmen need to sit down and do what they are told. they will soon be getting calls from the people back home who put them in office in which they are told what is the cold reality of how expendable they are. And if Mr Boehner has to stand on one foot on top of the capital dome to get this done, he had better do it, or there will be a new speaker pretty quick. Remember what happened to Newt.

“Now it is the time to accept a well-won victory and move on.”

Translation: Thompson (wising up the marks) says, “What the hell do you Tea Baggers think this is?! You served the political purpose of the people who matter. You were effectively used–thanks, and all that. Now get fucked.”

Just like the Dem party and Obama played the progressives and liberals. You could put the quote above in Obama’s mouth or any major Dem or Rep. Who are these “leaders”?

What’s that saying about the enemy of my enemy? Well maybe not my friend, but I’m relying on the teabaggers to save the day, kill any deal by smothering it with their angry, patriotic nut sacks.

The Tea Partiers are about to fell what its like to be thrown under the Bus.

They’ve achieved the objective of cutting taxes and money to those poor people, now they can just understand their place and shut up.

which people, Bluedot? or both? and i can’t agree that liberals, or teabaggers, are all “happy” in their misunderstanding of their role as political actors. the baggers i know are all, to a man, angry and bitter. and lots of moderate liberals i know are depressed and unenergized. they say ignorance is bliss, but i don’t believe that. one can be ignorant of a certain reality, and still suffer from the effects of said reality and the impact it has on your life. really, it seems to me that anger and frustration power politics these days, and are a far cry away from the heady times when JFK types voiced literate, eloquent speeches about what a polity can and should do.

Ruth Calvo will laugh at this post, but i’m trying so hard not to go into why that is, and how to fix it. i don’t want to preach, but i think i know. i also think: it’s really simple. but then again, most real fixes are.

I don;t think it matters whether the “new and improved” Boehner plan passes the house, it ain’t going nowhere in the senate. Case closed.

cd!!!
Is your ‘puter feeling better? Good to see you here. Hear, hear.

Now would be a great time to stop calling them “The Tea Party” or “Teabaggers” and start calling them by the banner they campaigned under:
Republicans.

Don’t let the Republicans distance themselves from the monster they created.

Wonder what the teacrackpost do when the economy crashes and the 2nd Great Depression sets in?

No, you can’t put the crazy back in the tube, but the GOP establishment was more than happy to let the Teahadists in the club.

At practically the same time that Boehner was ordering around the wingnuts that Obama helped put in congress, he was over at Limbaugh’s, ass-smooching Pope Peckerhead the First, as he covered all the bases.

For some perverse reason, I think it’s funny that the flat-earth snake-handlers have the Speaker of the House by the balls.

demi! i left a comment on you food post. let me encourage you, without hijacking this thread. you can do it, grrrl! and you will be Hard and Slim, just like me, with virtually no effort. You CAN do it!

and no, i have no new puter. i was promised one, but it’s waiting. thanks to all the goddesses for sites like these, yo. without corrente and FDL and JoeMyGod, i’d be in total “can’t load this blog at this time” hell. i’m a junkie, and that would totally suck. so thanks Jane etc!

it’s OT but let me complain: the internet is gradually pushing out the poor, like me. $2K is a lot of money, when you live on $350/wk. programmers and computer types, please try to understand this. it’s not so hard for you to code “old computer crap, work with this new function.” it’s much, much harder for us poor people to buy the machinery you say we ‘need’ to make your flaming wheels and spinning happy faces work.

crack political thinking

Probably not what they meant, but apropos nonetheless.

Great article BT.

How do you all think the Teaheads are going to react as they do bring the government down? This is a serious question. Other than the Randoids among them I am not certain they have any more affection for money moguls than they do for the gummint.

The only reason I have a computer (full time to me) is that my daughter gave me her old one from work when the company got all new ones. Before that, for a while, I had to borrow someone else’s when they weren’t using it.
Just had an apricot/nectarine/banana smoothie. I’m getting there. Thanks for your support, you!

“Establishment Republicans Beginning to Lose Patience with Teabaggers”

You lay down with dogs, you get fleas! You morons created this monster, and now the rest of the country is going to have to pay for it.

He was told he was charasmatic enough to be the next shamwow guy.

I was referring to the tea baggers. They seem to think this is what they were elected to do.

They CAN put the crazy back in the tube, if the tube is up their ass.

I’ll even help.

I remind the supposed establishment right and their fringe children of the following: “They Sow the Wind, and Reap the Whirlwind” Hosea 8:1-14

It does seem they are so intent in believing an apocalyptic vision that they are well bent on bringing it on themselves, without the aid or agreement of G-d.

Time to batten down the shutters and watch as the winds rise, the wave comes, and all of those cheering on the storm get washed out to sea.

Can Boehner, by striking a deal with the Democrats in the House, get their agreement to help form a majority that keeps him Speaker?

The establishment types know they get what they want – the beginning of the end of SS, Medicare and Medicaid and a colossal looting of middle class wealth, from O-Boner. If the tea babies screw things up, rich folk may actually take a hit. (A hit they can absorb well enough, but a hit nonetheless,)

…And if Mr Boehner has to stand on one foot on top of the capital dome to get this done, he had better do it, or there will be a new speaker pretty quick. Remember what happened to Newt.

Boner has a couple of juicy sex scandals with real illegalities to boot in his background that can be bought to the foreground any time needed. This is all so much fun!!!

They will turn on those with less power and money than they have. They will turn on those their authority figures have told them to despise and who they erroneously have been led to believe are the cause of their insecurities and frustration. And they will do so with a whole lot less talk and a whole lot more action than they are demonstrating now. Bank on it.

“Ruth Calvo will laugh at this post, but i’m trying so hard not to go into why that is, and how to fix it. i don’t want to preach, but i think i know. i also think: it’s really simple. but then again, most real fixes are.”

Indeed. Don’t hold back. :)
