You don't need to have voting control in Washington to achieve this goal of trying to destroy it and render it useless so that your fascist friends can take over...

There's an orange dude, in our neighborhood.
His name is Jonny Boner, and his color don’t look good.
Well I had to go to see him, ‘cause they told me not to phone.
I walked over to the clubhouse, and this crap was goin' on.

Mitch McConnell on the sofa, havin' Crown and chocolate pie.
Eric Cantor in the kitchen, cuttin' pork chops up to fry.
Sarah Palin was in the backyard, rollin' up a garden hose.
John McCain looked out at Sarah, feelin' love down to his toes.
Her butt was swingin' (swingin')
Yes it were swingin' (swingin')

Little booties is so purdy, quipped Dave Vitter, in the middle of his swing
I can't believe I'm out here in my poopy pants, when blow flies are on the wing,
A-Just-a swingin' (swingin')

Yeah, and they'll be swingin'. (swingin')
Yes, they'll be swingin'. (swingin')
They passed the jug gave Koch a hug, said Santa’s on the way,
With lobbyists and the bankers, payin’ big bucks under tables every day,
A-Just a swingin' (swingin')

Now Jan Brewer she’s their darlin', she's the apple of their eye.
And when Boner tees up beside her, it makes almost high.
And jan’s jonny’s make believe lover, and she has been since the spring.
He just can't believe it started, first day he’d admired her swing.
A-Just a swingin'. (swingin')
ah-just a swingin'. (swingin')

They don't deserve to keep their jobs.
We need folks to work for the people, not for the party. Too much partisan BS.
Yes, there are some good ones, but for the most part, Congress is just a bunch of spoiled brats.

Between Boners "must be a Republican majority to bring to a vote", and the rabid filibuster Republicans in the Senate, we need to flip both houses! People need to wake up! I'm so discouraged by the simple mindedness of most Republican voters. We need to expose their heroes for what they are. Pawns for the almost all-powerful monied-lobbies working AGAINST most of the things they DEPEND on every day!

It's a very perplexing, vexing task. But we need to try.

That was his plan all along, to try and say that it was ALL Reid's fault that the Congress sucked so much.

Even though the House is full of more Tea Party coalition members, Boehnor can't take credit for anything passing in the House because he is the most ineffective Speaker evah!!!

why are Republicans always raising Hell about Obama golfing every once in a while, but when Boehner does it, they're cool with it? Sitting there and hitting the golf course after blocking things like jobs bills and allowing student interest rates to rise...man, oh man.
