Boehner re-elected? Yes he was, but barely.

[Yssup Rider]

Still, the Tea Wipes are all bluster and no muster.

Boehner nearly didn't make it. But you'd think after he sold out the Tea Pukes, they'd have forced him to stand down.

Not so.

More evidence that the GOP is crumbling. It will be interesting to see which part of today's House GOP collapses first.

"In more than 13,000 interviews conducted so far in 2012, 35% of registered voters identify with the Democratic Party, 28% with the Republican Party and 33% as independents. The share of Democrats has fallen three points since 2008, while the proportion of Republicans has remained steady.

"When the leanings of independent voters are taken into account, the closing of the Democratic advantage is even more noticeable. Currently, independents lean slightly more toward the Republican Party than the Democratic Party (15% vs. 13%). Four years ago, the reverse was true (13% leaned Democratic, 11% Republican)."

I don't know why there is a desire to attempt to portray the Republican Party as "crumbling," but I assume that there is some psychological motive to demoralize the more conservative folks in this Country ... in the status shown there is no "Teawipe" Party or even "Tea Party" ... looks not to far apart actually, even with the independents factors into the mix. If that makes some feel good, I wouldn't rest on that notion. The next election cycle just started about 2 months ago.

Here's your problem as quoted from your article:

>>>Over the past four years, the shift in party identification has occurred almost entirely among white voters. <<<<

I don't think white people voting Republican is much of a trend. Also, I don't think that the independent "leaning" numbers mean much...do you? 15% to 13%? When the opposite 2% swing was true 12 months before? And when it could obviously flip back the other way 12 months from now.

I get your point though. I don't agree that the GOP is crumbling. It wouldn't surprise me to see them gain ground in the 2014 mid-terms in both the house and the senate. And, who knows about 2016? You'll be OK if you can avoid putting up the same cast of buffoonish candidates that you fielded last year. Careful though....the word down here in Texas is that Rick Perry is polishing up his finely honed intellect for another run at the GOP nomination. God bless Texas!

You can certainly do better than you have been doing. You guys need to polish up your act when it comes to women, blacks and hispanics, among many other things. And, your attitude....that everything is just fine, is one that's not likely to precipitate much change in what your party stands for...or, more importantly, how what you stand for gets communicated.

So...keep it up.

.He got elected by a larger margin than Nancy Polosi

[Yssup Rider]

And that proves what? Besides you don't know how to spell her name?

Pelosi was elected speaker wtih 233 votes. Boehner got 220, only three more than he needed to win. There were also a number of votes for other candidates, like Colin Powell and Newt Gingrich, of all people.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FOR A CHANGE?

Facts never seem to get in the way of your weak ass bullshit, do they?

[Thunderball]

See case in point if you disagree with a liberal all they do is curse you. Wonder why that is? We can all agree to disagree, but you have to have an angered tone. I looked at some of YSSUP Riders posts(By the way WTF is that handle? You actually criticize someone over spelling!!!) Again ignorance has no bounds except for the Liberal closed mind!

That's the tradition here in the Sandbox, TBall. It's really all the liberals have, since they lack ideas and creativity. But they are funny, don't you think?

[Thunderball]

It would be if I didn't pay 57 yes 57 percent of my income last year to fund the rhetoric! But you know those rich ass tax paying, job creating(I employ 12 people that have gotten raises every year but one. That was because I was sick and didn't draw any social funds from other taxpayers)hard working people that decided not to live off others, but make it on their own two legs. It is easy to criticize and then take a handout instead of a hand up. You would think the disgust would be from the conservative side. I mean hell if I went to their homes and took their property it would be theft. It would cause social uprising, but not the other way around. Go figure!

Hey, we've been trying to explain that to the liberal Obamatons here. They refuse to get it. It gets to the point where you just have to sit back and laugh at them. If you take these people seriously, you'll get pissed off and depressed. But it's funny. You can almost always predict their response. It's like the Three Stooges, you know what's coming, you know it will be stupid, but it is still funnier than hell!

Thats ok, I make up for it by calling out their COCKSUCKER of a leader, what he is A LYING COCKSUCKER......LMMFAO

[Yssup Rider]

All whining, piling on and bitter Tea Puke rhetoric aside, the fact remains that Lama's post was bullshit. I refuted it. He ran away, presumably for another hot toddy on this chilly winter night.

I don't know who our new playmate is, but whining isn't gonna slide here in the Sandbox. Good thing for you that COShithead hasn't made up a derogatory name for you.

As for my handle, if you can't figure it out, well, I suppose your employees are REAL lucky, because you don't appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed.

You know, you can outsource those jobs to Mississippi and save money!

LMAO @ frustrated, confused DIPSHIT!

[CuteOldGuy]

They were making up names long before I got here, Assup. And I didn't make up your name. You earned it.

[Yssup Rider]

You're a lying sack of shit ... What else is new?
