House Speaker John Boehner offered Wednesday to pursue a deal with a victorious President Barack Obama that will include higher taxes "under the right conditions" to help reduce the nation's staggering debt and put its finances in order. "Mr. President, this is your moment," Boehner told reporters, speaking about the "fiscal cliff" that will hit in January. "We want you to lead." Poster Comment: He's ready to be lead to Obama's lame duck a$$, so he can kiss it.
Boehner said House Republicans are asking Obama "to make good on a balanced approach" that would including spending cuts and address government social benefit programs.
"Let's find the common ground that has eluded us," Boehner said while congratulating the president on winning a second term. (Read more: Obama Re-elected as Crucial Ohio Goes His Way.)
The Ohio Republican spoke a day after the president's clear re-election victory. He said conditions on higher taxes would include a revamped tax code to make it cleaner and fairer, fewer loopholes and lower rates for all.
The speaker noted that during one-on-one budget talks with the president in the summer of 2011, Obama had "endorsed the idea of tax reform and lower rates, including a top rate of lower than 35 percent," the present top rate.
"We're closer than we think to the critical mass needed legislatively to get tax reform done," he said. (Read more: Alarm on Wall Street Grows as 'Fiscal Cliff' Nears.)
Boehner did not specify what loopholes House Republicans might consider trimming. Nor did he take questions.
His comments were generally along the lines of proposals by vanquished Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that also were vague on specifics. Still, the speaker's comments signaled a willingness to enter into talks. He suggested Congress could use its upcoming lame-duck session to get the ball moving on such a compromise.
"We can't solve the problem of our fiscal imbalance overnight...This is going to take time," he said.

#70. To: Capitalist Eric (#52)
I have long believed and promoted the idea that their should be a "None of the Above" check box on each ballot,and anytime "none of the above" got the most votes the parties that ran the other candidates had to dig into their own pockets and pay for another election to pick a candidate. I can practically guarantee you that we would get better candidates with a policy like that in place.
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
The ten short term demands of the Communist Manifesto: 1.Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Your hypocrisy knows NO bounds, does it???
The total # of registered voters (election 2012) was ~197 million voters. Barack Obama: 60,652,238 = 30.8% The U.S. government no longer has the consent of the people. "I am relying on my personal experience with Morons, which have been universally positive." -jwpegler
You don't believe in freedom of religion. I said that? WHEN? If I ever said it you should be able to produce my post.
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
He said he changed his mind on abortion. That troubled me. Maybe he was lying. I can't prove it. So I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. Since he would have no affect on it anyway. On guns. I disagree with the assault weapons ban. I think it to be unconsittutionaly. I don't agree but I can see how reasonalbe good people might want to put some restrictions on guns because they honestly think that it would be in societies best interest. Romney would have been a first term President. The Republicans were not going to pass any gun control legislation. Furthermore at worse he is a tie with Obama. Now Obama is re elected and going to the UN to push gun control. He wasn't perfect. He was better than Obama no doubt....NONE!
Lets start there. Where does Romney advocate that?
Lets throw this one out too. Where does he support that?
I never saw where he supported that either.
He doesn't support that either.
I've never seen him speak of this. Did he propose it somewhere?
I must have missed this one. Maybe you can provide me with a link. Please.
I'm sure idiots like stone would complain that we MUST choose between the best of the shit-bags, because they're still ELECTABLE... (which of course, misses the whole point) LOL.

Come on he never said or supported this idea.
You really are a fool. Good thinking,Stone! Who are you going to vote for next time,Hillary Clinton or JEB Bush?

I guess it could be said he is for this one. Are you against free education for our kids? Pretend the schools are good. I'm not for factory labor. Unless it is a kid working for his folks.
No I don't. You asked me if I was supporting Hillary. She isn't running for state office anywhere. I said no I support Rand Paul. You asked if I am moving to Kentucky. Case closed you lose.
"Ok simpleton. Do you know what a communist is? What about Romney is communist? To the left of Obama. Do you smoke crack?" You seem tense stonie, here, here is a consolation election cake for ya.
I am not claiming he did. The subject of Communism came up and I posted the 10 planks of Marx's manifesto. "Are you against free education for our kids?" You bet I am. Since when is it free?
No you can do what you want. You think Obama is to the right of Romney. So you are happy. At least Obama is anti Jew. That is what really matters to you.
Ok thanks for supplying the list and some common sense. The common sense being you never said he was a communist. Free public education is addressed in post 84. I sent my kids to private school until last year when it got to expensive.
Both men do not offer anything more than a false choice given to the voters to pacify them.
You bet I am. Since when is it free? I have been in the past. I think it should be done differently then presently. Like the money following the kid.
I voted for the bushes at least 10 times in my days (probably more than that) throwing in daddy and jr's governor stint in TX...primaries and all. At least I can admit my folly, you haven't the balls to. That said, 'you people' are never going to win another election with your neandrathal mentality. Move, get out...find another place to live that shares your views. OH...what? There isn't such a place? LOL
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Please provide a link to where I said that, or just admit that you're a fucking liar. You are such a lying, disengenuous, IMMORAL HYPOCRITE.

Schadenfreude is always Stonie's game.
You are being dishonest or your memory isn't that good. I've said stuff about Bush that I'm glad the secret service didn't come visit me.
OH...what? There isn't such a place? LOL Are you saying that I am unique? Thank you.
After the illegal slaughter in Iraq, I've had that visit and they loved my tomatoes.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Unique and forever the 'odd man' out.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... The ironic part, is that the pacification of sheeple like stone is so effective, that even after "his" candidate was beaten like a God-damned drum, he continues to insist that mcRomneystain was an electable alternative... Talk about delusional...

WAKE UP Stone, it was all a bad dream... The Romney Transition Team is hard at work saving Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
The voters lifted their legs to Willard. Stone must have been too busy admiring the exposed penises to notice the urine aspect of the snub involved. When offered an insane choice, people will be indecisive and chose the asshole they know over the one they don't know well yet. That is a dynamic of human nature at work that does not support the notion Romney is or ever will be electable.
Seriously, you've gone off the deep end, much as goldi, the Israel-firster fat- bitch, has... You're making up shit about other people, that should be easy to substantiate (IF they were true), and then look like a complete loon because they're not. You then act as though you're the ONLY honest person on the forum, when it's obvious that you're the biggest liar here... And yet you have the balls to claim you're a "Christian," and honest, and all that... If your purpose is to drive everyone off your forum, so they don't have to tolerate your blatant hypocrisy, you're doing a damn fine job of it... Whatever. I don't know what your game is, but it's clear that you've lost your moral compass, and any semblance of credibility with regard to much of anything. Whatever. I was impressed with your "Galt" article this morning... thought, 'hey, that's COOL, I like it.' But tonight, your emotions have taken over, and your behavior is borderline 'hysterical.' In real life, I'm not known as one to sugar-coat the truth, because I've neither the time nor patience for emotional sugar-coating of facts... And I'm used to dealing with the consequences of this approach. So if telling you the truth is what gets me booted from here, than I fine with that. At the end of the day, you'll be rimjob-jr., echo-chamber and all. Pfft.

It is well documented that I am not for Bush and voted against him in 2004 just like Brian S. My moral compass is just fine. For the most part anyway.
Thank You. You misunderstand me. I like things to be accurate. You guys called Romney a communist. He isn't. That is ludicrous. He is a very successful Capitalist. I voted for Romney because he offered my kids a better future with less debt then Obama. You can whine like a broken record that they are the same all you want. But it isn't true. I like accuracy. They may be similar on some things but certainly not all things. Great differences on lots of things. You know that and I know that. So it is you who is lying when you say they are the same. If you want to be honest you should say they are to much alike or something like that.
I saw this site Willard had drawn up in a hubris filled notion he could not lose. The Republicans have a problem in that in terms of popular vote, they have lost five of the last six elections. Until they learn to offer a real choice that is meaningful and serves the public interest, they are doomed to continue to be a marginalized entity. The only thing I appreciate about this is it helps show what a joke the popular election of a true leader of the people is in this country. Those in the 'club' run things, and not the simulated leader in the fishbowl called the oval office. Romney is out of touch and delusional, Obama is strange and an egomaniac. And neither is meant to be true leaders in any sense of pulling the real strings of power.
Maybe THIS will refresh your memory. Thanks for proving that you're a lying, disengenuous, IMMORAL HYPOCRITE. Check-mate.

Who's money?
You are fighting too many battles on this thread tonight, so I'll bow out of the discussion.
Ok you need to quit talking to me that way. On your first point I looked back up and it was sneakypete that said that. So that doesn't make me a liar but mistaken. But you have said that it would be better of Obama is re elected. Your reason if I am remember correctly was that Romney would have a friendly congress to get things done with. Your other times calling me a liar are also inaccurate. So watch your mouth. I'm tolerant but not forever.
