Glad you're here! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Actually, boner might do well to throw 'em for a loop and say "fuck the teabaggers" too. He'd have a lot of company!

Wouldn't it be amazing if he just threw up his hands and decided to go another way? How 'bout siding with the Dems - who are gaining on that majority. Just a few from our side would be enough to give him a majority. He should get with Nancy Pelosi, find out what the Dems would go for, and do THAT. Whatever gets a majority.

True, while we did not win back the House, we DID gain seats, and thus gained ground, compared to the GOP, which lost out on both counts. Their majority isn't as big as it was. They lost THREE major-league leading "lights" of the teabagger contingent: todd akin, who vainly presumed he could rise to the Senate, and the Bobbsey Twins from Hell, joe walsh of IL and allen west of FL who both were defeated outright. AND THE REST OF 'EM NEED TO BE REMINDED OF THAT, EVERY DAY, ALL YEAR FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWO YEARS, AROUND THE CLOCK. WE WON. AND THEY LOST. Obviously they haven't gotten the message about that, judging from their behavior, SO THEY NEED TO BE REMINDED ABOUT THAT, forgetful willfully-ignorant little dears that they are.

Giving the Dems what they want would be much more in line with what the country at large spoke out for, in the last election. NO tax cuts for the rich. They need to shoulder their share of the burden, for a change. Especially since they can afford to much more easily than the rest of us - and STILL have tons left over to buy another vacation home or private jet.
