Fuck the Pledge.......was listening to Boehner’s lame ass answers to what they'll actually do and how they'll do it.......nothing but rhetoric and when cornered about this being an election ploy and why no specifics, he couldn't give any concrete answers.

Smaller government, fiscal responsibility and lower taxes.......Wow, what a new fucking concept! Wonder if they are for being tough on crime?

When things aren't going so well, an anti-incumbent sentiment often swells.

My own hope is people will realize that they have more options than just pulling a lever for either a democrat or a republican.

That game of voting one party into a majority of seats, then voting the other in the next election cycle...it's all bullshit. Just a reflex.

The current crop of republicans have nothing to offer that's gonna spur the economy back to life or provide a pathway toward job creation. Nothing.
