No compromise with President Obama and Democratic Senate? Boehner and his Republicans are, no surprise here, the biggest ass-hats in the history.

But not one Penny cut to those who support the GOP..
All the cuts they want effect the American People directly in one way or another..
Always start their cuts at this point of the bottom where it does not effect their Paying Constituents first and utmost..
Paying Constituents get to keep their Tax free status.. All other get cut... Especially the Poorest Americans..

Let's cut the elected Republicans by 100%. No salary, no health care, no travel. In short no work, no benefits.

This is a non-starter budget. I cannot see Obama or the Senate going along with even 1/2 of this. If the repubs insist on this, they will precipitate a government shutdown. It appears their break with reality is complete.

The NSA should be sifting through his entire life,
looking for crimes to convict him today like Tom DeLay.

Republicans don't mind the NSA investigating terrorists,
at all.

Listen Asshat, you and your idiot posse ran on a platform of Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. We are still waiting for you to do SOMETHING about them... You morons have been so intent on your circle jerk of repealing the ACA (approaching 40 dead before arrival votes), that you have done Jack Shit about jobs. Before you complain about the President doing something about jobs, how about you honor your freaking campaign promises and do something other than wasting time?

There will never be a veto-proof GOP majority in the Senate, even if they were to take that chamber over(which is looking less and less likely, btw). Conceding the House without a fight in '14 means conceding second-term failure for this president and total defeat for our base(it also probably makes a GOP presidential win impossible to stop in 2016.)

There is NOTHING more important than getting ending the Tea Hall Putsch in the U.S. House of Representatives. If that Bible-twisting silk-suited lynch mob isn't brought down, it's game over.
