Mitch isn’t William Wallace. That role is being played by Cruz.

McConnell is Robert the Bruce.

The RINOs do understand. They want that level of control. They just want to be the ones in charge of it

Not even if he reached into Graham’s make-up purse and covered half his face with blue eye liner?

Harry is Robert the Bruce.

I’m with you.

and I simply cannot understand the harumphing coming from all the righty pundits advising our side to just make a deal so we don’t “look bad”, and predicting big losses at the poll next year.

A YEAR from now...? Voters won’t care next year, they aren’t paying attention now!

So we should just suck it up and spend millions(more?) to underwrite a bad idea to prove its a bad idea...and foot the bill for supporting the decline in employment as employees continue to wallow in under-employment, while the people who originally thought it was a great idea, are exempt from participating...? WTF?

Man. I’m kinda steamed. LOL. The cost of grunions will be out of my price range.

Heritage and FreedomWorks letting the GOPe know they were not going to be endorsed on their voting cards was the signal. TeaParty candidates are raising tons of money now. Wish it weren’t setup this way, but it is what it is for the moment.

Are you unhappy that FreedomWorks and Heritage are taking in more donations than the RNC? And donating to Tea Party Candidates, rather than RNC donating (as much) to RINO's? How would you prefer it to be set up? Just trying to understand your comment.

It seems like a lot of Republicans are getting the spine to stand up and jam a thumb right back in the eye of the lying Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms and their phony polls. Next thing you know, somebody will actually call out Ubama, Reid, Pelosi, and the rest of the rats as shameless liars for saying the nation will "default". Even a first-year civics student knows that the US takes in 10X as much revenue every month as what its costs to pay interest on its debts.

The US cannot "default" - - that isn't possible.

I see the media has brainwashed those on this site too

the media and Obama keep saying the lie that if the debt ceiling is not raised that it will lead to default . that is a big lie repeated again and again. nothing could be further from the truth . the Constitution demands that the debt be serviced FIRST and the stupid U.S. gov is taking in monthly 10 times what is needed to service the debt. so if Obama purposefully defaults (doesn't pay the interest on the debt which must be paid first) then Obama is committing an unconstitutional crime . just threatening to default as it Obama is doing is unconstitutional and Obama is lying and must be impeached for this.

nothing should happen if they don't raise the debt cieling .however Obama and the media are trying to get the market and economy to crash to blame the Republicans for ruining the economy

Right, not with the US gov. taking in about ~ $3.042 trillion dollars a year in taxes and other receipts.

Winston Cruz has stood up and led while Neville Boehner has been trying to find a way to capitulate to “the leader”.

I now call it the feral government. Wild, untamable, and needing to be put down.

Unconstitutional for the Senate to initiate a CR. But so were most of the leftist laws passed the last five years.

Time to start the ball rolling on the Liberty Amendments.

Theoretically it should go like this.

Step one: remove Boner. Gohmert for Speaker.
Step two: impeach.
Step three: vote out the Rats and Rinos who block the removal of the TOTUS. Starting with 2014.

House Republicans ARE in trouble. House and Senate CONSERVATIVES are not.

I hear all this talk about how Republican un-favorability polls have the R’s losing tons.

Well Hellya! It’s because both libs and conservatives hate them.

They never go into “why” the R’s are sinking in the polls, they just ASSUME or make the narrative to be that “fringe” has silenced those “moderates”. NO, it’s because we are all sick of the “moderates”, and do not trust them one bit.

I despise the Republican Party right now. Boner, Issa, Lindsey, McCain, McConnel, THEY are the problem. They are the reason that polling has R’s losing points, it is a general disgust.

The GOPe thinks this is a chess game. It’s not chess but poker. Call the Bastard’s bluff.

Not at all. I vote TeaParty was just explaining to the gentleman my opinion re: the falling apart of the RINOS during this last round of negotiations. I gave dollars to the cause;^)

Hey you, of course I agree with your synopsis this is much more distressing then the clintoon years. Those seem like the good old days.

Now we are dealing with a near constitutional crisis among other unlawful events perpetrated by this administration with the assistance of RINOs. Not the type of history in the making I wanted to see.

Noticed the price of grunion is already rising due hunting limits being placed upon them. I am outraged!!!;^)

To: concerned about politics

Some are waking up but some will never wake up. There are actually beings who look at a glance like normal humans walking around, talking etc. who actually believe that the government could furnish EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY if they only would. I know it sounds strange but they do exist and many of them vote. Don’t ask me how they can be that stupid and still walk, let alone chew gum at the same time but some manage it. Others have written volumes explaining how this is possible but I lack the intelligence to even attempt an explanation.
