I had thought that they would, at least, have passed some gutsy legislation that Obama would veto. What worthwhile actions have our dear leaders taken lately?
Oh. They did manage to acquiesce in the Iran Nuke treaty by turning the 2/3 super majority constitutional provision upside down.
“...That’s why the Republican “conservative” majority in Congress has passed so much worthwhile legislation...”
There *IS* no “conservative” majority *anywhere*. Of the political spectrum represented in either congress — or the voting population — Republican (politicians *and* voters) range from centrists to far right. Within the political right, either in congress or the voting population, “conservatives” are a small minority.
Hence, when you claim “conservatives” failed to pass legislation or move an agenda, the small minority of conservatives in congress are in no position to do so. The most impact the small minority of conservatives can make is to filibuster — which Ted Cruz has done. They are consistently out-voted by GOP-Establishment Republicans and Dems.
I rather suspect you have the GOPe confused with “conservatives” and that’s why the article’s foundation is unsound and crumbles easily. Perhaps you could list a few congressmen you identify as “conservative”?
