(At CPAC)...It didn't help the GOP, of course, that the Republican-led Congress botched its opposition to the highly unpopular Obama executive action on immigration by running up the white flag on DHS funding. After winning a second historic midterm election in a row, conservative activists expected the GOP to fight on the funding issue. Instead, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell kicked the can down the road with the "cromnibus" in the lame-duck session, promising a fight over DHS funding n February. On the second night of CPAC, McConnell shifted to fully funding DHS, while Boehner's attempt to get a three-week extension to regroup failed ignominiously. The House's final passage of the "clean" bill to fund DHS with no strings attached will only solidify conservative opposition to leadership.
Democrats would never allow a vote on a bill that the majority of their party opposed.
I will not give a dime to republicans or their party. Only to individual candidates that pass a very high standard.
“That pass very high standards.”
Many of those who voted for Boner would have passed most of our tests.
Yep, me too!
The GOP, like Fredo—dead to me.
I had to do a double take when I saw this...then again, populATION control is nothing new in this day and age. (cf. the UN/Agenda21)
The mathematics are on our side if there is killing involved
““That pass very high standards.”
Many of those who voted for Boner would have passed most of our tests.”
Yes. They would have.
Its easy for the “conservatives” we send to Washington with an R next to their name to vote the way they do, because our side loses the vote and Boehner, who they support time and again for Speaker, and the GOP Establishment get their way.
In the end some Republicans like Boehner and Peter King repudiate conservatism while others put on an act like my congressman.
Scott Perry of PA voted for Boehner twice since he first got there and then gets to vote NO on a lot of bills looking good to the folks back home. Perry goes on radio shows and says tough sounding stuff. He even goes on CNN to attack Obama.
But its all a charade because Congressman Perry supports the liberal GOPe leadership of John Boehner and his voting record proves it.....
The GOP hands the Democrats nine million new votes and expect us to waste time on a presidential campaign.
We are still nowhere near torches and pitchforks
