Enjoy your two years as Majority Leader, Mitch.
These deluded RINOs with their hubris will end up condemning their RINO Candidate for 2016 to defeat (again).
As a conservative, my last try at “giving them a chance” was just this past November. I won’t be doing this in 2016. PUT UP or STFU, RINOs.
Republicans aren’t going to waste this opportunity to slop at the pig trough by trying to reform the government.
They like it just the way it is.
Especially now that they will get first dibs on the loot.
Lets face it. The elite “insiders” are all of the same stripe. All they think about from morning to night is their own re-election and staying in the circle of privilege that it insures. There is only one party for them and it is the cocktail party after the close of business each day. Brie and Chablis or shrimp and single malt. Eff the plebeians.
Ask the conservative House members why they re-elected that turd Boehner. All politics, nothing to do with ideology.
Darn. I had January 2nd on the ‘How long before the Republicans turn to Liberals pool’.
I figured I was safe. Who knew it was going to be Dec. 3. I’m not sure they were even selling squares for December.
I feel ripped off (again). In the finest USG tradition, I had already spent the money I felt sure I would win.
YAY! WHOO HOO! WE WON!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!!
The elites don’t want real conservatives as committee chairs. Sooner or later, FReepers will wake up to the truth that we only have one political party with two wings which the elites use to play Americans off each other. If we were to realize this, there wouldn’t be the attention-diverting Right/Left paradigm. Instead, it would be Us (The American People) vs. Them (The elites).
But we have to elect the Republicans or else the communist agenda will advance with no opposition!
And the Republic Establishment response?: "Never mind" (picture Gilda Radner as Roseanna Roseanndanna).
Now that Obama has declared himself Emperor, and now Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have declared themselves acolytes of Emperor Obama by declaring they will support him by voting to fund Obama’s dictatorial Executive Amnesty Order, Congress no longer matters.
It’s as foolish to worry about Congressional committee assignments as it would have been to worry about seating arrangements at the Captain’s table on the Titanic after the ship had hit the iceberg.
In dictatorships, there are only two ‘’parties’’ — those who support the dictator and those who fight against him.
For example, in Communist Russia there were Stalinists and anti-Stalinists; in China, Maoists and anti-Maoists; and now in Communist America there are Obamunists and anti-Obamunists — and every newspaper, every member of Congress, every Internet site that continues to proceed as if it’s still business as usual, as if we still have a democracy and a functioning legislature when we don’t, is only supporting the Obamunists in their further efforts to seize every last bit of power they haven’t already taken.
Do the tens of millions of anti-Obamunists in America who voted for Republicans last month in order to weaken Obama’s powers but have now been stabbed in the back by Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and many other Republicans they elected who have now decided to SUPPORT Obama — do they have a single anti-Obamunist representative in Congress who will at least stand up for them, who will speak out, and who will refuse to take his seat in the new phony rubber-stamp Obamunist legislature-in-name-only?
Ted Cruz? Mike Lee? The age of RINOs, Conservatives, and Democrats is over in Washington. Every elected representative and senator who sits down in the new ‘’Congress’’ will be a LINO — a legislator in name only. Will anyone have the courage to separate themselves from this charade and try to lead an effort to restore freedom in America? It will be interesting, but probably very painful, to watch.
And where is the surprise in this?
Conservative organizations should start running attack ads against committee heads from the Republican left. Do it until McConnell relents. The Republican left plays dirty, and they play for keeps, while conservatives whine about it. Hit them back, and keep doing it.
“What was Senator Enzi doing on the infamous night of executive amnesty? He was on the Senate floor calling on Congress to pass one of the latest Big Government schemes: an Internet sales tax.”
The citizens of Wyoming had the opportunity to elect Liz Cheney who has a whole heck of a lot more spine (like her Dad) than Enzi, and they chose otherwise. Fools.
Maybe the eGOP knows this past election was a vote against Obama and his fellow liberals and not a vote for the GOP.
Who is surprised. There are those on this forum who warned that things such as this would happen. However, the Republican Party has an effective cadre of judas goats. Thus, nothing significantly will happen until the elections of 2016 when once again the Republicans will be the minority party.
More reason for conservatives in Congress to bolt immediately. The RINO’s will have to negotiate terms in order to form a coalition. We’ve reached the point where conservatives have more bargaining power outside the GOP than in.
I have been saying tht since the DC first said Enzi claimed seniority. Could never understand why everyone seemed to take his word for it.
