When's the last time you repealed Obamacare? It's been MONTHS since you reaffirmed our currency trusts in God! Get with it! Sure - parks and post offices are closing faster than you can name them after deserving rethuglicans. But there's PLENTY of meaningful stuff y'all can address!

teapartiers are attacking women nation-wide. Especially when your family members stand to profit from your dealings (yes I'm talking about Rick Perry) it can be quite lucrative.

and we can take them out (I am female ...)

In Texas it is simply a matter of demographics (15-20 years in this state is going to make a huge difference) but yes they've done a lot of damage in the meantime.

they would be fired within the first week. How are you just going to show up roughly 126 days out of the year for work, and then when you do show up, you pout with your boss and tell him "my way or the highway"?
They've been so ineffective at getting things done since 2010, that their pay should be docked. They don't deserve a 6-figure salary.

They have to do that. These assholes are loafing, and they are loafing on the taxpayers' dollar. Let's Clean House in 2014!

Yes, they are going to have a tea party.
Yet, the buns they are making are not made of bread since the Tea Party is led by bat-shit crazy people!!!!

The sickening part is that the lean-Republican newspaper, Washington Post, are treating John Boehner's press release as 'full-article' news without the fact-checking. It is the sign of freedom to press are almost gone. Boehner can freely accuse Democrats for being doing nothing with student loans and jobs while won't accept that his party are in fact responsible for slowing down the growth of America.

Boehner are the worst Speaker of House and he must be very proud of that.

The ironic is that the best Speaker of House would be rarely remembered in the history yet Boehner are trying to hard to make his name into the history books by known as anti-President Obama on everything except for military funds and tax breaks for the wealth.
