Does anyone think the "new" GOP-heavy congress won't be just as feckless and slavish to liberalism as the last GOP-heavy congress?

Jesus Christ. Will somebody explain to me why Republicans approach legislation battles as if they were going to a tea party and Democrats approach those same battles as no-holds-barred, fight to the death brawls?

We're not doomed in this country because of destructive liberalism. We're doomed because of feckless Republicans.

"We're doomed because of feckless Republicans."

Grzmlyk is starting to see the light: the GOP is a post-Reagan/post-Cold War travesty. It conserves nothing.
And YOU voted for these fools, Grzmlyk; you mined fool's gold, because you are a fool.

You and your Democrat party are worth less than dog shit and have the integrity of a rattlesnake. So keep laughing it up like the jackasses you and your party symbolize.

Grzmlyk| 12.22.10 @ 5:08PM

HAH! Spoken like the true jackass you are. My, you love to bray, don't you Alan? I guess your status as self-apppointed house troll is the pinnacle of your meager, wasted existence; no doubt being an assistant manager at the DMV has its thrills, but there's nothing for the old ego like coming onto this web daily site and daily it. Vanity is unbecoming in someone of such modest intellectual powers, little one. so you proved you an regurgitate others' thoughts while you're urinating. How impressive.

The reason the GOP is feckless is because they succumb to destructive policies promulgated by people like YOU. Who do so, I might add, in the service of nothing but moral vanity.

If the GOP hewed to a truly conservative line, this country wouldn't be sinking like the Titanic, chocked as it has become on Marxist policies. And for that we have you, your ilk, and, yes, feckless Republicans to thank.

That should have read, ". . . like coming onto this web site daily and vandalizing it."

My bad. Your wife crossed her legs and my hand slipped.

Alan Brooks| 12.22.10 @ 5:46PM

"My bad"
Speaking of your bad, what angers me isn't the politics, IMO politics is one person's loss being another person's gain.
What angers me is you say you are the gentry, yet when you vote for politicians who don't do what you voted them in office to do, it is your bad, not mine. What the GOP House does next year is YOUR responsibility, not mine or Purpleguy's or anyone who did not vote GOP.
GOP culpability is yours', and you cannot wriggle out of THAT one.

'...politics is one person's loss being another person's gain.' - This is true if you define it as a zero sum game, just as some early (and current socialist) theories, and when the state is powerful enough to take from some and give to others. It is saddening to see so many politicians and their voters who view their job as to maximize the slice of pie they bring home. I don't think Democracy and a powerful state can preserve liberty.

Grzmlyk: Don't waste your time, or vast vocabulary, debating with the deranged MR Brooks, he's just having another LSD flashback today (which is why you "don't ever" want to get on his line at the DMV!!), and he should be okay in a few minutes. He writes stuff here just to be completely antithetical to Conservative principles, and I imagine just to piss everybody off too. My theory of Alan is, he's just illiterate when it comes to computers and the internet, he found this website on his computer one day, a few years back, and he has no idea that he could go to another site if he really wanted too. Hey Alan, you see that little search bar on your screen, just type the words "Huffingtonpost" in there, and you'll find a site that you'll like a lot better than this one.

One thing we all have to remember is, until January comes around, this is still the 111th Congress (or shall I say Nancy Pelosi's Congress), so why would you expect anything to change yet?

Thomas| 12.22.10 @ 3:43PM

The Republicans have forgotten that they won in November and are things are still business as usual in Congress. What possible benefit is there to the Republicans rushing to pass bills and ratify treaties before Jan. 5th?

New Boss(es) Same as the Old Boss(es) Those idiots.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but would you please lay off the the Lord's name in vain? There's too much of that going on and He's a dear friend of mine. Thanks a bunch. Merry Christmas, readers.

The 8+ Republicans voting for this treaty should be targeted by their state's taxpayer-voters at their next election for defeat/replacement, period!!!!

Now let's wait and see how long it takes until the Sovi..er Russians cheat and continue on as before.
