Jimmie Bise Asks: ‘Why Should The GOP Compromise?’

Posted on | October 23, 2010 | 15 Comments

Jimmie Bise asks a crucial question about the GOP going wobbly.

. . .the real question, which isn’t if the GOP will compromise but why they should. Every recent poll shows that the voting public hate the progressive agenda the Democrats have foisted on us. They want Hope and Change undone and the new solutions of an ascendant GOP, which are really nothing more than the time-tested principles of conservatism, put in their place.

That may be the real question, but the answer is founded upon the will and willpower of We The People.
A twelve year old Onion article anticipates the common reaction to a new Congress, sober accounting, possibly and audit of the Federal Reserve:
“Poll: 73 Percent Of Americans Unable To Believe This S**t”

PRINCETON, NJ–According to the latest Gallup Poll, conducted Monday and Tuesday of this week, nearly three out of four Americans can no longer believe this s**t.

In addition to the 73 percent of poll respondents who described this s**t as “beyond belief,” 9 percent said they could “hardly” believe this s**t, with another 5 percent “just barely” believing it. An additional 13 percent said they “couldn’t give a flying f**k about the whole g*****n thing.”

The poll also found that the National S**t-Credulity Index (NSCI) has hit an all-time low, with only 2 percent of Americans describing themselves as “fully confident of [their] capacity to believe this s**t.”

“The American people have had to deal with this kind of s**t for years,” Gallup Organization president Lee Sanderson said, “but now, for the first time, it appears that the vast majority of them just can’t f*****g believe it anymore.”

Read the whole NSFW thing.
Underneath all the raw scatalogical humor though is the point that the two years of h’ors d’Obama offer a hint of how weird things are going to get. Our country is Bluto Blatarski, drunk on debt, dimly aware that the distant throbbing emanating from the brainstem is a hellish hangover harbinger.
Truly, I doubt that the 111th Congress even knows how screwed up things are. We’re just going to have to audit the Federal Reserve, and see what’s in it, to paraphrase the worst Speaker the House has ever had. We should expect the National Debt figures to be as baked as any of Mann’s anthropogenic global warming research, or whatever label he’s attached to his turd today. We simply cannot trust Congress without a thorough, peaceful, electoral purge of all of the Progressives, period.
And then we have to back up that purge with rock solid resolve. I’m paraphrasing General Mattis here, and addressing the GOP:


We come in peace. We didn’t bring artillery. But we’re pleading with you, with tears in our eyes: If you screw with us, we’ll eject you all.

The GOP needs to respect this Tea Party truth with about an order of magnitude more fervor than it feels the Progressive temptation.

    “Danger, Will Robinson, danger!”

    Don’t presume the will of “We The People”. Smear the “progressive” at your own peril. People of the USA are more progressive and less conservative on many issues now than the country was over the decades ago. Please don’t get carried away in all the mid-term madness. You know what happens when a gang of temple monkeys are gifted cracked up coconut shells?

    “The GOP needs to respect this Tea Party truth with about an order of magnitude more fervor than it feels the Progressive temptation.”

    I don’t think the GOP believes this could be a problem. They are in for a rude awakening.

    “You know what happens when a gang of temple monkeys are gifted cracked up coconut shells? ”

    If the reference was lost on you, that is what will happen if the Republicans gain the House and the Senate.

    Will Robinson IS in very real danger from the horde of secret Theofascists who write your scripts. You may be a sincere and harmless kook, but I assure you that Hitler had nothing on the
    religious goons who seek to usurp the Constitutional government of the USA.

    Take this seriously; and if you care, take care to make clear that you are not a Theofascist.

  • onthego

    Theofascist? You live in your own private reality.

    The one where people who have non violent rallies and encourage people to vote for those who will uphold the principles they claim to be running on are really worse than concentration camp creators.

    Yeah, you’re changing a lot of minds here./

    It did not start at Election 2010 — Our friendly “Progressives”/sarc threw out the one Senator from their party who played the role of Senator Vandenberg in 2006 — that was Senator Lieberman.

    If the Left happily threw out a Senator who worked across the aisle with President Bush fils, why should the Conservatioves, Reopublicans or tea partiers make friends with Liberals now?

    The Liberals open the door to shutting down working across the aisle, now the can bask in it. :}

    Pence gets it.

    Murtha is dead. Stevens is dead. Byrd is dead. We cannot afford to elect men like them who felt it was their job to go to Washington and raid the treasury. That game is over. Subsidies to huge multi-nationals like Exxcon and GE are disgusting. That game is over. Any Congresscritter that votes for an appopriation bill that contains ANY earmarks or ANY type of corporate welfare needs to be monitored and primaried in 2012.

    The welfare state was the product of a bunch of rich men suffering from white guilt. The failed experiment has effectively bankrupted the U.S. It’s over. Privatize social security, fix Medicare, repeal Obamacare. Repeal about 80% of all regulatory laws. Do that and we will turn America back into a dynamic, innovative, prosperous economic powerhouse.

    Ah, Smitty. What’s the fun in that? Ol’ liril just wanted to have some fun… I was a bit surprised they cut directly to a Godwin’s Law violation.

    But to answer his question, no, as a Hindu, I’m definitely not a Theofascist, believing in Many Paths and all. But he seemed to be working straight out of the L^4 playbook. (L^4 == Looney, Left Leaning Liberal.)

    And THAT, my friends, IS the TRUTH.

    I suspect the Fed will simply refuse an audit. Subpeonaed by Congress they will simply say no. And they will get away with it.

    Liril and all Lefty knobs are invited back after the election.
    I’m not excited about flagging anyone’s comments, but we’re also too busy.
    To everything there is a season, and this is not the season for dealing with such.

    You do understand that ALL even a large House majority (and Senate, too, if we manage that) can do is shut down the government, right?

    Oh, sure, we can hold hearings and investigate some stuff, but doing anything about any of the stuff we discover is another question. 41 Democrats in the Senate can block anything. Obama can veto nearly anything, and it takes 2/3 of BOTH House and Senate to override, and that ain’t happening anytime soon.

    So we can’t repeal Obamacare, and we can only “de-fund” it by shutting down the government altogether, because Obama doesn’t accept losses, he strikes back with everything he’s got. And even a weakened President is the most powerful man in the world.

    Elections do matter, and those who abandoned John McCain in 2008 out of pique are now seeing the consequences. Unfortunately, all us smarter voters have to deal with the results of their folly, too.

    -Your conclusion is dead solid perfect.

    -Smitty: May I use the term h’ors d’Obama in my efforts to render him hors de combat?

    -Bluto was a hero to many of us and we do not appeciate such comparisons.

    -Truly, I doubt that the 111th Congress even knows how screwed up things are. Actually, THEY DON’T CARE. I think it important to realize that in any dealings with any of them. It means compromise with them will only lead to us having heartburn later on.

    -Thank you, Smitty, for sticking to your guns, re: the trolls.

    Adjoran…that and continue to forward bills the Kommiecrats will stiffle in the senate or The Won will veto. Nothing like attempting to solve what the voting public sees as problems to insure elimination of the Kommiecrats & rinos

    The key to shutting down Obamacare lies in the Appropriations maze.

    I will discuss on my Blog after the elction — Obamacare can wilt on the vine without shutting the Government down (only certain parts)
