Tiberius Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Like this one? Boo! Well thank God Obama beat him with the stimulous spending thing in 2009. Imagine how bad things would have gotten in this country if the speaker had succeeded in slashing government spending instead of increasing it. Wow!

keepthefaith Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 This might get really messy for Republicans! Actually this could be very bad news for those on your side who have enjoyed Boner's inaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The worst thing about this is that it will polarize Congress even more; devaluing the legislature further and strengthening the executive. President Trump/Sanders with no legislative check? That'll be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Boehner understands the value of compromise. So does Biden. Obama and the Cruz acolytes don't get that. They are like 5 year old children who want their brother's toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are like 5 year old children who want their brother's toy. A large sharp knife was thrust into the back of political compromise long ago. Compromise does work but not without two parties engaged in a dialogue with the important issues of both sides getting an honest discussion with the goal of promoting a win-win for both parties and austensibly for the greater good. Since the progs seized power they've been nearly dictatorial in their methods, uncompromisingly pursuing a scorched-earth policy wrt their political opposition whom they show contempt and disdain for at every possible turn. The Establishment Republican leadership has cowered and backed down in the face of Obama's intransigence and absolute unwillingness to compromise. This in spite of being handed back majorities in both houses. Look there if you want to see why the "outsiders" are running away in the polls currently. There is deep dissatisfaction with the current establishment on both side of the spectrum. However, one side wants to revisit the American Revolution, the other wants to relive the French Revolution. I know which side I stand in that debate. Edited September 26, 2015 by Nanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 He saw how the radicals that are the Republican representatives are trying to steer the country into default over abortion and has jumped off a burning ship. Radical Fundamentalist Anti-Abortion Republicanism is throwing another temper tantrum and Bonher is getting out. The the fall in stock prices the last few weeks might be a case of investors being worried over a Republican create economic crisis.

B-Man Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 FTA: On the subject of Representative Gohmert, his statement following the speaker’s resignation is on point: “Due in part to the massive shift in power away from the most accountable representatives of the people to a president and five judges, we have needed leadership with vision for the future that did not continue the downhill slide.” As Gohmert notes without quite saying so, these United States are in the process of transforming the form of their union government from that of a democratic republic to that of a unitary autocratic administrative state. Barack Obama and other progressives have hastened that transformation in no small part because they consider the American constitutional order in purely instrumental terms rather than as a good in and of itself. Sometimes the constitutional order serves progressive ends and sometimes it constrains them, which is why President Wilson despised the Constitution and President Obama simply ignores it when he believes it necessary, adopting as he has — with rather less fuss than one might have expected — a Gaullist rule-by-decree model. The familiar ratchet effect is in operation: The Left in power expands the state, particularly the executive, and the Right in power does not reverse the turn, in part because conservative politicians like power, too, in part because reversing those expansions is difficult, and in part because even if conservatives win the fight there’s not much juice in it. This isn’t only a matter of executive opportunism and legislative sloth. The waxing of the president and the consequent waning of Congress is a result of the deep psychological structure of mass democracy on the American scale, probably an inevitable one.
