There is the GOPe in action. Pro homosexuality, pro law breaking, pro big government, and you know all the rest.
One of the few loudly doing anything with his office and position is Ted Cruz.
Does he want to stay in the Senate, perhaps take McConnell's job to then lead that governing body and Constitutionally fix the legislation governing US?
Nope, he wants to be President.
It is for reasons like this the party is hemorrhaging voters, volunteers, and donors.
The GOP can go to hell. They stand for nothing.
The GOP will never win another election past perhaps 2014 if they’re lucky. The party is useless.
Franklin said the Republic would fail. It has.
No political party supports what I believe or opposes what I think is destroying society. I’m turning in my voter registration card. Better for the blood pressure.
I think that, it being early October, now is when they have to announce their docket for the term.
So this is just a normal annual event thats suddenly notable (and noticed) by their failure to include a case on an important issue that a lot of people care about and are paying attention to.
“This one issue will separate the sheep from the goats, the Men from the Boys...... “
And the hundreds of thousands protesting this decision outside of the Supreme Court will drive the point home...
OH WAIT.......
If we, as a group, aren’t willing to get off of our a$$*s and out into the streets about such an important issue as this, why are we even remotely surprised when someone like Scott Walker says that this battle I over, and we lost?
I was referring to the Congressional candidates. Cruz as president will make little difference just as Reagan ultimately made little difference. The Government is the Bureaucracy now because Congressional Republicans and Democrats refuse to cut it off. The President cannot much affect the bureaucracy because of Civil Service laws which Congress treats as superior even to the Constitution itself. The House, no matter its makeup will not refuse to fund anything the Left has built. Our Conservatives are conservative in that they wish to conserve the system as it is now and repeal nothing. They stand to make money out of whatever is already there and will lose money and future post Congressional employment if they defund or repeal stuff. They won’t do it. And they won’t deal with the courts where they have power to determine what the lower courts can even rule on.
All gone but the memories, and those fade and pass with each of us who were there.
You want change to stick around for a while?
Get Congress back and make it work as Constitutionally mandated with each and every bit of legislation Congress hands to the POTUS to sign or veto.
Then you might even be able to reconstitute the USSC in a generation or so.
To borrow one of the Commandments, if we are to honor our Founding Fathers, we must reform to restore what we were entrusted with.
That will mean finding someone who actually wants that job instead of pulling out their resume for their next career move as soon as you give it to them.
Even if they spoke up, it wouldn’t be reported by the lamestream press.
I predicted no cert, and no cert will be the rule until a Circuit votes against gay marriage. The 9th is a foregone conclusion, with likely no stay given by that court or SCOTUS. Only the 5th, 6th, 8th and 11th left. Do any want to give SCOTUS the excuse to expressly nationalize gay marriage? My guess is they go along. Get a socially conservative court majority in 5 or 10 years (evidenced by striking down Roe, perhaps) and then take another shot.
As long as they love homosexuality more than they love true Christians and their revulsion to homosexuality, God’s wrath will keep right on falling on us. So it doesn’t matter if the ‘Pubs or Dimmos are elected, we’re just as destroyed. It’s only if we’re given a stark choice between righteousness and wickedness, and we choose righteousness, that there’s a prayer of turning our oncoming destruction.
It’s becoming pretty obvious that the only way to save the GOP and the country is to elect a strong conservative like Ted Cruz for president, who will usher in a conservative renascence and kick out bad “leaders” such as McConnel, McCain, Boehner, Graham, etc. The Dems aren’t dominant right now because they have superior ideas, they’re dominant because there is no opposition party calling them out on their BS and presenting alternative solutions.
Oh but they are going to take the Senate....... So they can be lead by Mitch McConnell and John McCain.... Yeah that’s what conservatives want. Yeah that’s the ticket!
...and your alternative is...?
How an actual opposition party vs. a go along party that does nothing but bends over and grabs their ankles.
That's possible, but I think unlikely, because no one (not Alito, Scalia or Thomas) indicated a dissent from the denial of cert. What I think happened is that Alito, Scalia and Thomas voted not to hear the case because they believe that, if the case is heard, Kennedy will vote with the four liberals to find a nationwide right to gay marriage, and they would rather let these lower court rulings stand than have a definitive SCOTUS decision upholding gay marriage.
