Including the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2015 amended with a provision that authorizes “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of all communications data from U.S. citizens.

Goodbye Freedom, what little is left.

I can’t wait to confront the squishy bastard Cassidy at a town hall meeting. There will NOT be “with all due respect”.

I learned that in 2012.
Never again will I vote for a party.

In the dark of the night, two weeks before Christmas, the GOP consummated their betrayal of our trust. We voted them a majority for the next two years, and they thanked us by a backstabbing so heinous, that it moved the seismic needle on the Democratic party

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"
I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.

Worst part of this is the public is absolutely livid. And the only one putting up any kind of opposition is the Fake White Indian. She will reap the benefits and we’ll all rue the day.

The Votes Here

This was a major surrender. Either way your congress person voted, they deserve a call. Explain to them how incredulously stupid it is to vote again for Boehner as leader.

John Boehner (D)stabbed the American voters in the back and the front. The bill will soon to be passed with Mitch McConnell’s (D) help.

Two democrats that the democrat party needs.

Roll call is interesting. As far as I can see, all the GOP amnesty pimps voted yea. That’s quite telling. And a lot of phoney conservatives like Yoho and Crenshaw were outed with their yes votes. We’ve been had.
