These two slack-jawed, squinty-eyed, atavistic SC tea-bagger mofos claim a mandate to block Obama.

The upstate SC tea-bag Congressmen, Jeff Duncan and Trey Gowdy, vow to fight Obama on tax increases for the super-rich. Since RMoney took SC, and their weak tea-bag asses won handily in Thurmond's Dixiecrat world, they think the Lord-god has blessed their hateful outlook on government. The election changed nothing down here in Jeebusland - nothing!

Good to see you, though, Mac!

I'm pretty sure Duncan and Gowdy aren't the only ones...Boehner and McConnell both made similar statements today.

We got rid of at least some of the tea baggers but there's more that need to go in 2014.

Other than the local political climate, I am ecstatic! SC will ALWAYS have the teabaggers.

Court by two seats. Then, suing the Republicans in Congress for obstruction of the Legisllative branch for raw political reasons.

What he ought not do is spend one minute begging those egotiscal bastard voluntarily cooperate with his administration. THEY WILL DO NOTHING UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED TO DO IT. Now, exactly how we can force them I don't know.
But, there are a lot of smart men and women in the Democratic Party. Something
forceful needs to be done.

And another thing, no more called joint meetings at the White House and the Pubs
just decide not to attend. If the President calls a meeting and you are "invited", it's just as much an order if the Commandant of a military base called it. If they don't show up, officers should go pick them up, in hand cuffs.

I'm serious. The only thing that will work is that we have got to use the President's office power to dominate the Pubs in the House.
[
And in the Senate, the first thing that has to happen is the filibuster rule has got to be abandoned. Why we haven't already done that, I don't know.

President has got to act like he did in the 2nd and 3rd debates. To put it
bluntly, he can't "take any crap from the Pubs". Hi the man. Now he MUST
act like it.
