Good morning to you Rachel !!! Alot to go over this AM Rachel !! Lets see I agree 100% with WSJ post , House Speaker Boehner not only needs to communicate better he really need to stop tanning it really does make him look ORANGE (sorry honest opinion) Shame on the the GOP for punishing Illinois chairman on gay marriage as if they really need to get these negative coverage I feel for them as word is vote them out 2014 , 2016 Yes the GOP.. As far as North Korea & Afghanistan they are a non factor as they show know better and where they stand smh !!
Hey Speaker Boner, I thought you people couldn't create jobs...oh wait yea, not the middle class people that need it, the almighty Job Creators need more money to create the jobs...BS, you always had it, you always will
"and expanding opportunity for all Americans so they can achieve the American dream."
unless you are gay or a racial or ethnic minority. or poor. or part of the 47%. if there really was a God you would expect Boehner would be struck down by lightning for this crap.
I disagree that the Republican party needs to communicate better. When they put forth their ideas succinctly, the majority of Americans reject them. They're much better off with muddled mixed messages and meaningless slogans.
That whole "Government can't create jobs!" meme was already a joke when the righties began screaming about job losses if the sequester went in to effect - of course, for some reason,they only meant jobs in defence-oriented industries would be the ones in jeopardy; all those other government funded jobs are just for the moochers and takers.

Rachel,
Can you explain chained-CPI again, because I think it is important and do not know many who really understand it's impact? I just keep shaking my head in disbelief when I hear the statements coming out of the mouths of GOP pundits
