But . . . but... but.... I thought John Boehner believed in transparency, accountability and ... oh right, that only applies to Democrats.

Boehner blocks freedom of the press and the American right to view their gov at work?

Pretty sure he meant that
John Boehner believes in transparency/accountability ONLY when it applies to Democrats. His own party? Nah.

And meanwhile, the current GOP frontrunner has declared that he will arrest judges who dare to interpret the Constitution in a way that doesn't match his agenda.

Nothing to see here, folks. Remember, it's the OWS protesters who are actually the un-Americans.

“As you walk off the floor, Mr. Speaker, you’re walking away, just as so many Republicans have walked away from taxpayers, the unemployed, and very frankly, as well, from those who will be seeking medical assistance from their doctors, 48 million senior citizens,” Hoyer can be heard saying.

“We regret, Mr. Speaker, that you have walked off the platform without addressing the issue of critical importance to this country, and that is the continuation of the middle class tax cut, the continuation of unemployment benefits for those at risk of losing them, and a continuation of the access to doctors for all those 48 million seniors who rely on them daily for help.”

So well said it deserved repeating. Finally the Republicans are having to face what $40 a month actually means to many families. No wonder they hide in shame.

I didnt believe you, but facts are facts. Nancy did do the same thing in 2008.

Censorship sucks no matter who does it.

Unfortunately, like many on the right, you're clearly someone who prone to ridiculous leaps in reasoning and logic. In a neocon's mind, if someone doesn't slam and relentlessly attack Obama (the way that FOX news or their favorite right wing blog site does), this means the person is an Obama sympathizer or defender. This phenomenon also occurs when a right winger is questioned regarding the consistency of his or her beliefs or principles. I hear that "Bush is not President anymore" (when I ask someone who loves to bitch about Obama's spending why Americans were sentenced to 8 years of Bush and the GOP's wild and crazy spending spree) and I'm accused of defending Obama. The media is "liberal" because they don't spread sleazy, hateful propaganda about the President and if they don't think the White House HOLIDAY card or HOLIDAY tree qualifies as a war Christmas. Neocons are just flat out BRAIN DAMAGED. Why do you people think you should be taken seriously?

No what this side is fill with, or at least has a majority of are people wanting the god damn truth and for our elected officials to stop acting like f**king kindergartners. But apparently, for people like that, thats to much to ask for.

One would think that if you spent that much effort composing a response, you'd get even some of it right.

OK, so YOU will take time to read a long screed that has nothing to do with what the actually story being discussed is? It must be nice to have unlimited time to read pointless essays that will be reported repeatedly by someone who woke up wondering who to hate today.

I believe adml_shake meant to write "site," not "side." But I'm glad you got a chance to vent your spleen.

Still playing onto the bulls**t of Rep vs Dem? Everyone who understands Boehner is a lying hypocrite MUST BE a Dem Obamabot, right?
Try getting out a bit. There is a whole REAL world out there and it isn't divided up into Blue with huge D's tatted on their ass and Reds with huge Rs tatted on their ass

Funny, the system is in shambles and conservatives are still more interested in partisan bickering than problem solving. I don't see any liberals rushing to defend Obama's atrocities, and yet conservatives just can't let go of their broken party.

Don't worry, Chupa (aka Moliie, aka lastvisibledog, and others) is pasting this babble all over the place. Her efforts were not wasted. In fact, she probably didn't even write it...

Just how much are you Americans going to take.
The world is laughing at the so called free society.
