Well, that Senate “showdown” went about as one would have expected, with RINOs scattering for the hills and handing the problem right back to the House by “cleverly” voting for it before they voted against it, knowing full well that their “nay” would amount to nothing and in no way endanger the ObamaCare that they need next year for fundraising purposes.
Over the screams of the sick and the dying, of course, but why would they care? They’ve got theirs, so kindly bugger off, voters.
The full list of traitors who couldn’t give a flying flip (Senator Cruz’s words, not ours, although we agree completely) about unemployment, loss of hours and loss of coverage for millions of Americans can be found here.
We’ll just focus on the, ahem, interesting ones:
Lamar Alexander, TN: Seeking reelection in ’14, currently has a primary challenger, Joe Carr. Let’s hear it for Joe. Lamar obviously needs to spend more time with his family.
Saxby Chambliss, GA: Not seeking reelection, and good riddance. Several declared candidates. Time to go pick the right one.
Jeffrey Chiesa, NJ: Appointed by Krispy Kreme Christie to the post of Assistant Obama Ballwasher. Krispy’s tongue was getting tired. Republican candidate for the seat is Steve Lonegan.
Thad Cochran, MS: Not sure whether he will seek reelection. Imperial tip: Don’t bother, Thad, just go enjoy the cries of your constituents dying in ObamaCare slaughterhouses. Thanks to you.
Susan Collins, ME: Main question here is “why hasn’t that socialist slut been retired yet?” Heckuva job, Maine. Now try to do better.
John Cornyn, TX: Quite a disappointment, that one. Fluffing Harry Reid’s nuts while his fellow Senator from TX tried to stop the disaster. May be tough to find a primary challenger in time, but that’s no excuse. Let’s get going!
Lindsey Graham, SC: Not only overdue, but also promising. Challenger Joe Wilson currently leads narrowly in polls. Let’s make that lead stronger. Time to make Lindsay Lohan, er, Graham go do something else with his time.
Mike Johanns, NE: Challenger already on hand, with a couple more potential ones.
Mitch McConnell, KY: Oh yes, McCockless is up for election next year. Let’s make it the last one he has to go through, the poor old dear. Challengers at hand and, in case you needed any further indication that McCockless has to go, he has the endorsement in the Republican Primary of, wait for it, the Kentucky Democrat Party. Say no more.
So there’s the list of RINOs in dire need of retirement next year.
Thatisall.
Obama’s phone call to the Iranian talking head is just another distraction to keep Congress from defunding Obamacare.
As usual, the 24/7 Media falls for it hook-line-and-sinker.
On the list of future distractions from defunding Obamacare are meetings with various Heads of State in DC and China.

Obama has found it very easy to advance his narrow ideological agenda of failure-prone Marxism.
4 years after Obama conned his Democrats into passing the Federal takeover of the cash cow of Medical Insurance, the PC, Doormat Republicans are finally timidly suggesting defunding that Federal takeover.
Without the weak, PC, Doormat Republicans Boehner and McConnell being stupidly kept in their respective leadership positions by truly cowardly House and Senate Members, Obama Medical Insurance “Care” Takeover would have been defunded long ago.
The primal yearning of the 47 % who pay no personal Federal Income tax is to belong to a tribe where all of their choices are dictated to them by their arrogant tribal leader.
This a common trait of those who have low self-esteem.
In that sense, Obamanation is truly a cult: low self-esteem people believing everything their cult leader tells them, no questions asked.
Freedom is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) Exemption or liberation from slavery or imprisonment.
3.) Liberty of choice or action.
Most of the 47 % riding in the “free” wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.
They thus feel safe, and secure in the knowledge that “this is as bad as it is going to get.”
Liberty is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) The state of being exempt from the domination of others or from restricting circumstances; freedom.
5.) The power of voluntary choice: freedom from necessity.
6.) Individual Liberty: Freedom from restraint in the performance of rights outside of government control.
Most people who are getting a free ride in the wagon where 47 % pay no personal Federal Income Taxes, are terrified of making a voluntary choice.
The 47 % would prefer that they be under government control where the choices are made for him.
All of this societal wussiness has made it very easy for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, to advance his narrow ideological agenda of European-style, failure-prone, Marxism in spite of PC, Doormat Republican token “opposition.”
BTW, unlike taxes, Federal Obama ‘care’ Insurance charges can be increased EVERY YEAR to whatever % the present and future arrogant leaders of Obamanation wants.
BTW, BTW, the free-loading 47 % will always vote for the Candidate for POTUS approved by Obamanation.
_________________________________
The question to be asked is: “If it is in the Nation’s best interest to shut down the Government, then why are there only TWO Federal Politicians, Obama and Reid, loudly advocating shutting down the US Federal Government?
Obama has MANY reasons to shutdown the Federal Government such as:
1.) A headline grabbing story that will distract attention from the Impeachable scandals of:
Benghazi Massacre Dereliction of Duty by Obama as CIC;
Obamacare Insurance managed by the corrupt IRS;
IRS harassment of political opponents of Obama;
Use of the NSA by Obama to spy on everybody in the USA;
etc, etc.
2.) The use of fear of a shutdown might help to protect defunding and eventual abolishment of Obama’s narrowly focused ideological agenda of an European-style, failure-prone, Marxist, monopoly of the US Medical Insurance Industry.
3.) Spreading fear and blame might also preserve Obama’s power to increase Obamacare Insurance premiums on an annual basis.
*This would be highly advantageous to Obama as the increase in mandatory insurance premiums would not be a tax, as the “unexpected market conditions” would be given as the reason for the increase.
*Also there would be no need to ask for the “Advice and Consent” of Congress, as the IRS would be in complete control of all income and medical records.
4.) The last reason is the most important for Obama, personally: America would at last no longer be a Nation where the Liberty to choose one’s own family destiny could ever exist again.
As for Reid, the best guess I have is that he wants a Government Monopoly of the Medical Insurance Industry. Well, to be fair, Reid calls for a “single payer” system.
My suspician is that multi-millionaire Reid, nearing Federal retirement, owns a lot of stock in some companies that are tied to a “single payer” system.
Maybe the NSA, or the IRS can find out for us?
I’m going to ask my US Senator from TEXAS, The Esteemed Senator John “To Hell with my voters” Cornyn to check on this for me - - - .
Maybe a better title:
Scumbag RINO’s to be whined about...
The reason I say that - the idiots in the GOP see fit to keep supporting these limp-wristed traitors because that IS the GOP of today. Outside of certain areas of the nation that tend to lean much harder Conservative/Libertarian, the odds of replacing any (other than those who retire) is slim - unless they get beat by a Demo challenger.
Wow - definitely not a “family-friendly” post!

Hey, if it’s not too much of an imposition, maybe a monthly up date on FR with the status of each race. As it gets closer to the primary and if a good guy is challenging, maybe email addresses where we can donate to the Conservative Campaigner to oust the RINO.
Hope that’s not too much to ask...

Personal note: I am not a fan of language like "scumbags". I wish we could be a little classier than that. Before you flame ME with whatever, give a thought to the potential LIV's we hope to awaken. When many hear language of contempt like this, they will just dismiss us as hot headed and overly emotional.
We have facts and truth. Let's focus on that.
fwiw
I agree. See my post 8.
Peter King has GOT to go.
If you want to have your blood boil, look at this:
Peter King Won’t Vote For Another Bill Amending ObamaCare: ‘Tired of Ted Cruz Calling the Shots’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3072873/posts#comment
Above from sourced blog regarding why folks there find their contributions moderated. Rather ironic, I would say.
“Personal note: I am not a fan of language like “scumbags”. I wish we could be a little classier than that.”
Like “terrorists” or “anarchists” perhaps? How about “starve the poor” or “throw the elderly into the street” or “poison the air and water?”
I take your point but the other side is never, ever considered to be hot-headed or overly emotional. It’s slash and burn and any language is justified.
I never have liked the defense: "Well, look what THEY are doing!!" It seems juvenile. There was a seminar presented on that in the Saturday night House session from the Dem side. They need to do that because it's ALL they got.
We have something better.
I don't insist on my way or the highway; only some reflection on what effective communication looks like. Ted Cruz has modeled that for us. Let's follow his lead.
Throw all the bums out. Why take a chance?
“I never have liked the defense: “Well, look what THEY are doing!!”
That wasn’t my point. What I meant was, this Marquis of Queensbury rules, be all nicey-nicey, take the high ground, don’t stoop to their level, let’s be civilized men business gets us nowhere if we don’t ourselves, stick in the shiv once in a while. And language makes a mark. No bull makes a mark.
Frankly I’ve had enough of this “my good friend from Tennessee” nonsense. That’s appropriate on the senate floor, but outside of that, the truth needs to be spoken plainly, and without fear of what might be said about us.
I sent an email to John Cornyn. I’m on his email list so I copied and pasted what you posted and sent it to his office with his name highlighted.
“I sent an email to John Cornyn. I’m on his email list so I copied and pasted what you posted and sent it to his office with his name highlighted.”
Haha. That’s funny. It’s time to take no prisoners. You should read some of my emails to elected officials. Scott Brown’s people finally got the message and took me off their email list.
