McConnell remains true to the K Street lobbyist code:

“One gets what one pays for! That is the infallible rule in fish-markets, whorehouses, and Congress.”

Neal Stephenson, ‘The System of the World’

I don’t expect anything but failure, excuses and lies from you and your stinking party, Mitch.

It's all for show, dear KC. Midge & Co could pass this if they truly wanted to.

They're in on amnesty at the behest of their COC overlords. The House Bill passed with Bonehead knowing Midge & The UniParty would nix it, in the Senate.

Same old, same old. If this doesn't confirm for all those doubting the direction of the Pubbie party, nothing will. 😝

Nope. We HAVE to vote RINO no matter what because its always better when we show ourselves to be liberals to impress our online friends. Doesn’t hurt anything but America to vote GOP and no one cares about that anyway. Winning is ALL THAT MATTERS It’s OK to be a Liberal Republican. There is no downside and fully Half of FR is.

Its only evil arrogant purists like you put a discredited old document that hasn’t been effect in nearly a decade over ‘the greater good’ andthat prevent the Utopia of Immigration Mitch and JonBon PROMISED if they returned to/were given power.

But we had to have McConnell don’t you know! Why the Republicans promised to stop obama...

Everything is going as expected, spew a little trash talk and then run up the white flag. Wait until next month when the DHS funding debate starts. Without shutting down the government the Congress(ran now by Republicans which we had to have!) will surrender with all the speed of a French Army division and the following excuse will be tendered—we must control the White House, without it we are powerless, mark my words. If these hapless boobs should win the White House the next excuse will be we don’t have enough votes to override the 60 vote rule in the senate.

I wonder when all those I love the Republican Party sunshine pumpers on FR will be back telling us again how vitally important a Republican victory has been to the country. Have they realized the turd in the kool-aid bowl yet or are they still chugging the Old Boner and Turkey Neck rotgut like it’s going out of style.

They have been back. Ehats’ up, Flaglady47 and the rest of Team GOP have been whooping it up under clear skies with no reprocussions. Plenty of threads are rallying the troops again for Jeb, Mitt and now even Perry again.

I’ve seen plenty of excuses and even more propaganda here in the last week than on DU. And thsts not an exaggeration. Once again, FR has been co-opted to push liberalism on the right HARD.

It seems to me if Obama can write a memo to change a law, unconstitutionally, then Congress, as elected by the people, can vote and pass a binding law that nullifies the memo without sending it to Obama for approval. I believe it is in the Constitution. Otherwise, Obama would veto it; it is wasted effort. The average male that held any kind of power would love to tussle with Obama on this issue.

” They’re in on amnesty at the behest of their COC overlords. The House Bill passed with Bonehead knowing Midge & The UniParty would nix it, in the Senate. “

The Cromnibus spelled it out 100%. Actually, the election did even earlier.

McConnell waving the white flag again, just use some of your campaign war chest to run ads depicting 6 Black Democrats touting Illegal Alien Amnesty, with the caption

Giving Illegals Jobs so my Constituents can sit around and get their EBT.

or something to that effect, watch them turn on Obama in a heartbeat.

Can't you see the difference RMD, we've gone from the Rats running the senate and giving Obama everything he wants to the Rinos running the senate and giving Obama everything he wants.

One thing about old Mitch, don't take him long to throw in the towel.

But we had to vote for Republicans to take over the Senate...and...and...and.

... And now we have to vote for some GOP-E stooge for President...and...and...and.

Tomorrow. With the Republican Party, everything is ALWAYS TOMORROW.

There isn't a damn bit of difference between the GOPe and the Democrats. They both have exactly the same agenda, their only quarrel is over who gets the credit.

I honestly believe that the last presidential election with a real choice was in 1984. Since then we've had Bush (1 & 2), Dukakis, Clinton, Dole, Gore, Kerry, Obama, McCain and Romney and I'm not sure the winner of any race even mattered, I think their policies would have always been roughly the same (and for all the doubters who want to talk about Obamacare, Romneycare is exactly the same and the GOPe would have gladly taken it nationwide).

If we get a GOPe nominee in two years I probably won't bother to vote. The biggest difference between Hillary, Romney and Jeb is that Hillary has more testicular fortitude.

So they’re already planning to let Obama shut down Homeland Security and then they’ll cave and give him everything he demands just so they don’t get the blame? Wow!

Hillary has more conservative acts on her Record than Mitt. Seriously. People call BS, but they are free to look it up. If we go by the past “Vote for the most conservative” crap thatat got us to today, then Hillary is our candidate in a 1-1 matchup.

It cannot be both right and wrong. We either vote ‘most conservative or vote “R”. And either way we would lose because the yellow among us WILL vote R. and get the less conservative on purpose.

Read up folks. Jim had Mitts record posted for years and Hillary’s is online everywhere.

THAT is what ‘most conservative’ gets you when principle and actual records do not matter.
