If McConnell yields power to the Democrats to filibuster GOP initiatives it will serve him perfectly. He can practice a modification of the old two-step. He will propose legislation to make the base happy while knowing that he will not have the votes to end a filibuster. Thus, he claims to the base that he is driving their agenda and he lets the establishment and Wall Street know with a wink and a nod that none of that nonsense will ever be enacted.

It is time for all good conservatives to come to the aid of the party-The Tea Party that is.

Further, it is time to abandon reform of the GOP and turn to Article V.

I would be okay if they restore the filibuster to judicial nominees. Surely theOne will have an opportunity to nominate several more jurists over the next two years. His nominees can be assured of getting the entire contingent of non-GOP senators, and they could easily pick off the random McCain, Grhamnesty, Murkowski, Hatch and Collins. With a judicial filibuster, or 60 vote requirement to stop debate, a Ted Cruz could function as a brake against continuing leftism.

It is TIME to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments, including their SWAT Teams.

It is time to force Congress to telecommute most of the year. Away from the lobbyist and under the thumb of those who elected them.

There is NO reason for them to be in DC most of the year. Texas Legislature meets once every 2 years, unless the Governor calls a special session. It has been a system that has worked well for a very long time.

It is TIME to move the center-of-gravity of Government from DC back to the state and local government.
