See tagline.
Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn’t the purpose of a political party be to ADVANCE a given set of political goals. Now, I understand that the mechanics of governing do always give a party the power to achieve these goals, but hell’s bells, shouldn’t they at least TRY? Certainly they should not be FACILITATING the opposition party. Why else have parties?
Two of Rush’s greatest monologues were today and Monday.
(do NOT always)
Its dossiers and bags of money under the table, from here as far as you can see.
I’ve lost all respect for kabuki politics.
In 2014 two Princeton professors concluded that America is an Oligarchy:
ââ¦Our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association, and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But we believe that if policy making is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then Americaâs claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened.â

So true. DC is corrupted to the core and the demrinos are one party now.
“It is astounding what they have done, particularly when you balance it against what they’ve promised us they would do. They have reneged on every promise, written and oral, that they have made, beginning back in 2010 when it comes to what they would do vis-a-vis the budget, government spending overall, and how they would behave in battle with the Democrats. They’ve tossed it all aside. “
Might wanna have a talk with FR’s lesser evils Rush. Clearly your head ain’t right on this. You have to rejoice in their choice to destroy us no matter what.
Remember, principled people voting for principle candidates are the problem Rush. Freedom is slavery.
I advocate a change where members of the House are not elected, but chosen at random, sort of like they pick jurors. You serve for two consecutive terms, and are paid your current income (at whatever job you were at) plus maybe a 25% premium. If you are caught taking a bribe, twenty-five years in prison. I swear that we would would have vastly better representation.
I would agree......I'm waiting for the typical Rush haters to chime in and espouse how Rush is in the pocket of the GOP and all he does is support them..........LOL!
Considering you were one of the people pushing for lesser evil I have to wonder why you arent trumpeting your victory. Did you suppose no one would remember?
In the minds of members of the Uniparty, Democrats and Republicans are not opponents of each other ... they both are opponents of "outsiders" - Tea Party et. al.
They’ve doubled down on the cromnibus.
The cromnibus, passed in the lame duck 2014 session, should’ve funded the gov’t for only a couple of months, but instead funded it for a full year at Obama levels.
This new budget deals funds the gov’t for TWO years at Obama levels.
Yeah. Time for a new party. What other answer is there?
I know the word hate might not be appropriate to express my feelings toward liberals, so let me say that I despise with every fiber of my being what they stand for. And after saying that, I am a longs ways toward feeling the same disgust with the vast majority of the Repubicans in Congress including those from my state (South Dakota). Sen. Thune, Sen. Rounds & Rep. Noem. Very frustrated that we have been sold out by the so called conservatives in Congress. Every day brings a new story of lies and deceit from both sides. Is there anyone left who has integrity?
Don't worry. We don't.
Romanian term limits.
There’s a new optimism in the air!
