Republican leaders ignore Conservatives again
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/24/15 | Jeff Crouere

Republican leaders refuse to take the gloves off, and are doing nothing to promote conservatism, so their true agenda must be to facilitate the continuation of liberalism.

It happened again yesterday, a painful reminder that the GOP leadership in Congress is pathetic. The President’s radical nominee for Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, was confirmed with ten Republican votes. Without Republican votes, Lynch could not have become U.S. Attorney General. Lynch will now replace Eric Holder, the most controversial and racially divisive Attorney General in American history.

In her testimony to Congress, Lynch made it clear that she would continue the policies of her liberal predecessor, support the Obama agenda, and had no problem with the President’s highly questionable use of executive power to grant amnesty to five million illegal immigrants. According to U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), “The Senate must never confirm an individual…who will support and advance a scheme that violates our Constitution and eviscerates established law and congressional authority. No person who would do that should be confirmed. And we don’t need to be apologetic about it, colleagues.”

I wish Ted Cruz would flip the finger to the GOP and go Constitution Party or some other third party. The people who support him as a Republican will certainly support him third party. And the dollars will follow.

The long knives will come out eventually, and with so much against us why get bogged down by a liberal-lite GOPe?

We finally got the majority in the House and the Senate with the added bonus of a specific mandate, and we STELL get sold down the river. Does anyone think they will hesitate to do everything in their power to take out Cruz?

Honestly I think its going to come down to dragging them out of their homes and beating the living crap out of them while burning their homes to the ground. I hate that its coming to that but I think people are a lot more fed up than they realize. Seriously.

And yet “Conservatives” vote for them year in and year out.

It will NEVER EVER change.

Bonehead, aka “orange man” must go, the next primary will see to that. As for Mitch McDumbo, aka “the turtle,” we need a different strategy there as he has another six years and he will retire.

Not quite. Thad had to recruit Dumbocraps to avoid being primaried, and Mitch's senate helped.

Capito
Corker
Cornyn
Gardner
Hatch
Roberts
Rounds
Thune

Cochran
Ayotte
Graham


Flake
Portman
Kirk
Johnson
Collins
McConnell

Above the line voted for cloture, below voted for confirmation, except Hatch who voted for both

They are all Democrats in R jerseys who advance the left’s agenda under the guise of being Republicans. Remove them from office.

It can be done. We threw out a sitting Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, and put in a real conservative, Dave Brat.

The anti-Ted Cruz “concern trolls” have been out in force.

A bunch of us engaged one that promoted “voting for the lesser evil.”

I stopped voting long time ago. Republicans NEVER do what they say they’re going to do, and Democrats ALWAYS do what they say they’re going to do.

The GOP literally could not stay in business if they embraced their stated ideology, if they consistently attempted to practice what they preach. Special-interest groups and crony socialists financially support politicians to the tune of billions (maybe trillions) to feed at the public trough and get favorable legislation through the corrupt, byzantine legislative process. Libertarians and small-government conservatives need not apply.

Aren't these the same Republicans that Scott Walker was admonishing conservatives to support instead of Tea-Partiers?

Scott Walker to tea partiers: Let’s focus on taking out Democrats, not our fellow Republicans

America needs a sober and sane third party like UKIP in the UK.
