American Griper: GOP Congress Complains, Threatens and Gets Nothing Done (Surrender Monkeys)

Conservatives are not fooled by floorshows and half-baked schemes designed to appease them. And if talk is cheap, then the words that have come from most Republicans in Congress must surely be discounted to less than $1.99.

Meanwhile, for all of their bold talk and harsh criticism of President Obama, the president continues to run circles around GOP congressional leaders. Floorshows like the brilliant speech given by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his address before Congress are wonderful. But what his speech most reminds us of is that our country lacks the kind of leaders who could stand in his place and deliver such a powerful message. One that would be backed up with the conviction to follow through with real action.

When Republicans agreed to a bloated budget last year, they offered conservative voters the gimmick of holding off passage of the Department of Homeland Security's funding, with the promise that somehow President Obama's immigration-by-fiat move would be singled out early this year and defunded. It was a cheap and unrealistic trick then, and it proved to be the same this week.

As Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered his rousing and convincing speech about the folly of any nuclear arms agreement with Iran, Republican leaders in Congress had already decided to seize the fury over the risks set forth in Netanyahu's speech and pass the entire Homeland Defense budget, including funds to allow the president's "amnesty" move to go forward.

Yes, the more pragmatic of observers realize that Republicans would have been beaten up badly had they held up funding for DHS in an effort to checkmate the president's latest power grab. But why did they ever offer such unrealistic expectations?

At every move, he has played the GOP like a Stradivarius. Let's recall some of his best performances.

Useless complicit EXEMPT RINO:
"We totally lied to our constituents for you and the illegals,
My Master, Lord, and most beloved King."

"Just get a Republican majority in the Senate," they told us, "and everything will be fine."

"That little thing with Thad, it's Mississippi politics - an outlier; don't worry about it! Just keep voting for the 'R' - that's all that matters!"

Oh, yes they are! The proof is that they vote over and over again like blind mice for the Republican party regardless as to who is running.

During this last major election the so called “conservatives” simply recycled the same old tired career politicians they always vote for.

Failure to vote for the man and not the party has ensured that with each election we sink further and further into slavery by the government.

As far as I’m concerned, most of the GOPe are not worth a plug nickel.

And .. with the pecking order they impose on new-comers; it is going to be a very, very difficult future for America.
