Do you mean things like moral standards, allegiance to the US Constitution and respect for the checks and balance of our system of Government (3 co-equal branches plus an independent and free media)?. What the heck do you have in mind -- more free cell phones, food stamps, healthcare and housing?

This is EXACTLY what is meant by a culture of corruption. At every turn, Barack Obama was INTENTIONAL in demonizing and his labeling his opponents as not just wrong in their beliefs, but evil, nefarious and even unpatriotic. The quotes are public evidence of that, no question. Others, Head and 2nd of the Senate Finance committee that OVERSEES the IRS (Baucus and Schumer) were worse. They made public their demands for the IRS to investigate BO opponents, and their requests for other Congressmen to go the same. BO does not have to be guilty of writing the demand, his corrupt leadership encouraged it and eliminated at opportunity for any IRS people with integrity to act on the ALREADY EXISTING checks and balances, for fear of retaliation (ala Petraeus and Hicks). In the end, this will make Watergate look like a county fair.

This is too reasonable a compromise... not ALL illegals go back, not none. Along with the Felons we also send back the indigent. Our immigration policy MUST be about strengthening America, not the Democrat vote base. As for the "Gang of 8" ... McCain and Graham are not a rational representation of Conservatives or even Repubs with this stance.

the ONE of many, I meant :)

John McCain is the ONE of poster children for what is wrong with our political system. I actually believe politicians are highly susceptible to a version of Stockholm Syndrome. This is where long-term kidnap victims become bonded to their abusers. I believe long-term politicians become bonded to the wealth, status and power of their position. (Duh). Truth is, we get the government we deserve, and we the people have put up with a ruling class of lawyers and political science majors who's goal at the beginning is to do good and sooner (usually) or later they become what they wanted to fight. Term limits are desperately needed, I believe the only solution.

Christie is just another selfish, me first, power-hungry man, with a bigger persona than most. When he bent over backwards to laud O when O PROMISED stuff, Christie deeply affecting for the worse a nationwide election with thinly veiled buttkissingforstuff. Then, rather than blaming the scumbags who larded up the EMERGENCY aid package to the point it could not be passed by any responsible body, he scathingly attacks the man who had the GUTS to say wait a minute to the business as usual status quo. The Fat man has sung... he is done... at least in any Conservative circles

Of course it doesn't seem funny to you Libs ... no F-bombs, slander or demeaning personal attacks.

EXACTLY why we have the 2nd (and other) Amendment(s) ... self-appointed spokespeople with their own view of what makes the world better and the arrogance to believe that they can impose their will on a minority. I am not saying that gun control freaks ARE in the majority, just that thank God our forefathers saw the time coming when a corrupt and selfish people would collaborate and vote themselves more and more power over many others, and intentionally made it very difficult to do. So, ...If you have enough support to change the US constitution go ahead. Until then, just TRY to legislate and enforce your way to infringe gun ownership rights. You will be OVER.
