I'm with you on this John
This idiot got his brain friedin the tanning booths.Boner is a disgrace along with a few other republicans.

Time to let those who are suppose to lead, lead.
I was wondering when you were going to come to your senses. Oblameo and his group wanted this, let them deal with it. Let them come up with an idea to solve these problems.
You've passed many a solution only to have them shot down, ridiculed or used to lay blame on the GOP.
Lets see what the Demoncraps are made of.
Time to tell them lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!
