(12,606 posts)Boner is already gearing up for more dialog in the form of "NO!"
Boehner said that the elections were a mandate to take "steps together" to boost the economy.
He had earlier said that the GOP's retaining of the House majority meant that there was no mandate to raise taxes. Obama is seeking higher tax rates for the wealthy.

(42,020 posts)Take a look around key committees of the House and youll find a governing body stocked with crackpots whose views on major issues are as removed from reality as Missouris Representative Todd Akins take on the sperm-killing powers of a woman whos been raped.
On matters of basic science and peer-reviewed knowledge, from evolution to climate change to elementary fiscal math, many Republicans in power cling to a level of ignorance that would get their ears boxed even in a medieval classroom. Congress incubates and insulates these knuckle-draggers.
Lets take a quick tour of the crazies in the House. Their war on critical thinking explains a lot about why the United States is laughed at on the global stage, and why no real solutions to our problems emerge from that broken legislative body.

Of course we don't have Achin Akin to kick around anymore as well a few others...

(15,224 posts)I'm sorry, but I live in Texas and I deal with some REAL Republican assholes on a daily basis in many different capacities. Just for today, I'm gonna gloat and gig them any way that I can.
We won, dammit! And I am HAPPY!
Tomorrow, I will try to quit being an ass, myself. But just for today, it's MY turn for a change!
