This is what happens when we elect RINO’s.
That’s what a lot of us said back in October. A large number of resident RINO lovin Liberal lickers gave us a hard time.
They just refused to understand what we meant when we said they were wrong accusing us of “wanting a perfect candidate.” We kept trying to explain we simply reject socialist-lite, traitorous douche-bags.
Some folk here are perfectly happy supporting elitist masters who thank them by crapping on their dinner plates. They lick up the offering, smile at their GOPe sovereigns and say it tastes like ice cream.
I wish I had saved a list of the RINO supporters so I could include them in this posting!
I saw a funny tag today: ‘Why fight fire with fire when the fire dept. uses water?’
That’s the frustrating thing. How can we fire these establishment fools from their leadership positions? They’re locked in...and sadly...there doesn’t seem to be an easy, doable way to get them fired/ousted from leadership.
At the moment all we can do is make their lives hell.
But if the people ever realize their own power, and start to exercise it, these unprincipled hacks will be gone.
We would have all had to move to OH for Boehner’s primary then all move to KY for McConnell’s primary. Like the RATS do it.
There will be those who demand perfection. There will be those who will settle for the lesser of two evils.
I agree with you that there is a more reasonable middle ground where we can positively support candidates who meet a well-reasoned set of minimum conservative credentials.
As it turns out, we didn't need McConnell to win his seat in order to have a Republican majority in the Senate. How wonderful it would have been if he had lost to Grimes and the Republicans had still managed to get a majority?
All the lame arguments about how the Pubbies don't need the Tea Party would have been flushed down the memory hole.
As it is there is one more Republican in office, but paradoxically a much less Republican senate, i.e. one that seems more willing to cave to Obama's demands.
Yes Obama has been a complete disaster. But if somehow McCain and/or Romney had won and slowed our descent into madness, it might have been more likely that Hillary would have been given her turn to destroy the remnants of American culture.
If somehow Romney or McCain or some other RINO poser ends up on the top of the ticket there is no amount of whining, jeering, cajoling, rationalizing, shaming, shunning, etc. that will get me to pull the lever for them. I don't care if Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin or Seal Team Six is the vice-presidential candidate, I refuse to vote for Concessioniks for president.
I will vote for the Constitution Party candidate. Or, since I live in California, I will vote for the Green Party candidate and hope that strategy-minded conservatives who also live in Blue states will all vote in lockstep for the Green Party candidate so that he/she (or more likely he-she) will get enough votes to qualify the party for government support and participation in debates.
If the Republicans refuse to field truly conservative candidates, then we can at least help the leftists get their own candidate and start to create a split in the liberal vote.
1. States used to be able to have two bodies chosen by different means just like the US Congress and Senate, e.g. one based on population and one based on political boundaries such as counties. This was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because except where explicitly written in the Constitution all representatives were supposed to equally represent an equal number of people.
2. The way the congress has organized itself with committees, etc. has resulted in some congressmen and senators being "more equal" than others. This has quantifiably harmed some people, e.g. a company loses a contract when their senator/congressman is replaced as committee chair with a representative from another state.
3. These plaintiffs could bring a case before the court that undermines and ultimately eradicates the committee system.
4. Being in congress for a long time would no longer be as financially attractive as it currently is leading more congressmen to support term limits or just leave after they've made enough contacts to ensure a healthy future as a lobbyist.
5. We would all be more equally, and hopefully, more sanely represented by citizens who are more focused on serving their constituents than themselves and their families.
That's exactly what should be done.
We can all sit here and bitch and moan (myself included) but what must be done is to light up their phones, jam their email, flood their snail mail. As you said, make their elitist asses red.
My God, what does it take to get the American public fired up?
So...where are all of those who screeched about how we had to elect the RINOs?
Where are the McConnell, Cochran and Cornyn supporters?
I guess they went back into their holes until the next election heats up.

Cowards!
