| What ideas have the far right of the R party put forth?? (Posted on 1/6/13 at 4:33 pm)
The tea party faction. They have opposed R compromising plans, the Speaker's own plan, democratic plans. Everything.
That faction literally is the epitome of the Party of No.
Having a 100% rating from FreedomWorks foes not make someone smart or a leader.
In theory, I'd like their alternatives, being that fiscally I align with much of what they believe in. Except the only plans from that faction come from Breitbart.com

WTF is the matter with Brietbart? Just because some clueless liberals spit on it because they have nothing to say?
The tea party has a big tent. small gov,term limits and Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Allen West all rolled into one.
Don't believe the media and progressives BS that their way is the majority. They are sitting silent as Obama destroys America.

It appears the media and the ignorant voters are forcing the republicans to compromise on stupid ideas. The Republicans are blamed for being the party of "No" when they refuse to agree to stupid ideas yet they are still at fault when the dems get their way and it fails.
The fact is you just have to start making spending cuts. Hard choices will have to be made and raising taxes before spending habits are reigned in is just absolutely ridiculous.
The Republicans and any group more
conservative has no power to do anything. They have really no way to change perception with the media so in the tank for the democrats and what appears to be the stupidity of our society. The only way anything will truly get done is when the media and the ignorant voters in this country finally get their head out their arse and realize these stupid compromises with the democrat philosophies is the major issue.
BS like gay marriage and creationism are peanuts relative to the economy.
What legit ideas have the democrats had? They can do whatever they want, but have constantly failed.

We need a bigger, more vocal Party of No.
We could have used a Party of No when No Child Gets Ahead was passed. Or Medicare Part D. Or Real ID. Or the Patriot Act. Or the bailouts. Or the spendulus. Or NDAA. Or Ogumpcare. Or Dodd-Frank. Or using a long term mortgage tax to pay for two months of a payroll tax holiday.
All the "ideas" we got from the Dems and the RINOs were bad for America.

I have no problem with that group being "the party of no" when the so called adults in the room fight for pointless tax increases (campaigned for by demonizing the successful) as a solution to the deficit.
Hell even their own party has thrown them off committee seats because they refused to capitulate to the retarded tax increase position of the left

I remember you on the AOL message boards years ago. You were intelligent, funny, moderate to liberal. (even though it was an sec football board we talked politics.)
How did you lose your mind? Stroke or fall on your head? Maybe your wife left you and you went off the deep end becoming bitter and delusional?
At what point did you become Glen Beck?

I would argue that the party that can't say no to spending is much more dangerous for the nation.

I wasn't on an AOL board...you must have me confused with someone else.

So you support the Patriot Act, national ID, corporate welfare, No Child Gets Ahead, and bankrupting Medicare by trying to pay for every old person's meds?? If you think all of that legislation I listed was good, you must be a HUGE George W. Bush fan.

If the far left of the Dem Party acted like the far right of the Rep Party, we'd see a collapse of a presidency like we saw under LBJ and Carter.
Frankly the far right are so ideologically driven, they have no common sense. Their flag should be some type of depiction of a man cutting off his nose to spite his face.

They have put forth no tax increases without immediate significant spending cuts. Just because house leadership is willing to cave to dems doesn't mean they should just follow suit.
Do you understand what these people were elected to do? Most of te rallies that got these folks elected had chants of "taxed enough already"

I think they do put forth the general proposition that liberty should be expanded.
Not perfectly admittedly but what party does anything perfectly?

I can discuss my pros and cons for those particular programs but that's not what you said. You said everything ever done by a Dem or RINO. That pretty much makes you as far right as one could possibly get.

You know it's difficult to take you guys serious when it comes to the debt when it initially went out of control when your savior was president, tripling in the 80s. Then 2001 came along and two wars went unfunded, the Medicare Rx went unfunded and tax cuts were put in, twice. And the debt doubled. And Cheney told us there was nothing wrong with deficits.
Then each Rep cand was asked if he would accept a 10-1 cut/tax hike ratio and each said no,
I have seen nothing from the Republicans for 30 years that lead me to believe you're serious about cutting the deficit. I've said it before here, Reps promises of cuts is like Miles' promises of an offense.
Still waiting....

Maybe I should have been more specific and said over the past 10-15 years. What GOOD piece of major legislation has happened in that time frame?

Not really, considering a lot of the terrible legislation was foisted on us by the Bush-Frist-Hastert braintrust. So it really just means I don't change my beliefs when a different team is engaging in the same idiocy.
