Yep...appeasing, whining, sniveling excuses for lazy, feather-bedded RINOs.

The fact is they HAD the trifecta (House, Senate, Administration) under early Bush II years - it got us a Patriot Act which is now being used against conservatives by the NSA,CIA, FBI et al by Obama for his own purposes. It also got us NCLB, Prescription Medicare, unchecked debt incursion, AND the frigging DHS and TSA. Real good job guys.

Screw this “we gotta” crap. Been there done that. To me now generic Republican is worse than Democrat.

If a supposed Republican can’t say and stick by NO DEBT, NO AMNESTY and stop gun control efforts, pledge to oust Boehner/McConnell, then they will not get my vote

Jim Jeffords jumped before the Patriot Act passed, so Democrats held the Senate at that time.

Made no difference, as it passed 98-0

Then you get that by default if the Democrats win. We have to control the agenda and secondly, recognize that politicians don’t lead they follow. Americans were in favor of the Patriot Act, it was the patriotic thing to do. Now we know better.

Politicians are like restaurants, they serve what we let them or what we ask for.
