The political process is a dead end for liberty.
The Republican party has openly declared war on the Tea party. I was not one of the 4 million that didn’t vote for the RINO, but you can add me to that number next time if a conservative is not the nominee.
That little bit of theater finished me for the Republican Party. I am sure I’m not alone. ONLY will be voting for constitutional conservatives now. All those new Senators took your money on a LIE.
Have any of the juniors had to speak publicly yet about kissing up to the Boner??
I said, and was viciously criticized on FR, that the only way to get conservatives with influence is for R's to lose.
The electorate has spoken. What does Savage proposed
to change the will of the electorate?
We get mad at Boehner and McConnell but the reality is most GOP elected officials, especially in DC, have the same mindset as they do. The third party option is becoming the only realistic alternative left if we’re going to save the nation. For so long I agreed with Ronald Reagan’s idea of improving the GOP from within but now the establishment is dug in and they will not be budged, but folks the minute conservatives leave the GOP is gone. Conservatives are the life blood and backbone of the Republican Party. The moderates seem to forget that. They need us a helluva lot more than we need them, and they’re going to find out very soon that screwing our side of the party was a fatal mistake. The GOP will soon join the Federalists, The Know-Nothings, and the Whigs in the ranks of extinct American political parties if they keep this ***t up!
The TP is a loose federation of citizens who are fed up with the political and government establishment. Savage is correct. We live in an oligarchy. The powerful have absolute control over every aspect oif our lives. Their laws make criminals of us at their whim. Our Constitution is in shambles.Our best effort to bring about change at the ballot box was met with contempt and utter rejection of any of the principles our votes reflected.
It is time to create a new political party that fights for the Constitution. Enough is enough. Freedom is not just antother word for nothing left to lose. We have lost everything and we are not free.
This once great nations enemies are not overseas. They are in D.C.
Witnessing Boehner using the lame-duck session to fund both Obama’s lawless amnesty and Obamacare, coupled by seeing the GOP jaw-droppingly silent on judicial tyrants imposing the depravity of homo-marriage throughout the country, just solidified for me that I really have no reason to ever vote for the Republican Party ever again. The GOP as it currently exists holds nothing but contempt for my values and my beliefs. When it comes to what I truly care about in this country, they’ve grown interchangeable with the Dems.
I don’t agree with this analysis. I voted to reelect our congressman for her third term. She was a great improvement over her Democrat predecessor, but she’s not nearly conservative enough to suit me. Unfortunately, no one challenged her in the primary and there was no way that I was going to vote for the liberal nutcase running against her. Having been reelected, she voted to reelect Boehner as Speaker. That’s what I would expect from her and she didn’t disappoint in that regard. Her votes, both in this case, and overall, closely reflect this +6 R district (Cook PVI). It’s what you get in a district that has only been Republican for four years.
What to do about it? Well, I am going to work hard to get a real conservative to challenge her in the primary and I expect that if we can succeed, the conservative candidate has a real chance of getting elected even in a just beyond swing district. I hope that other districts do the same.
Yup! Michael is just alright, with me.
John Boehner is of Marie Antoinette wing of the Republicrat Party.
Thanks for posting, Mier.
Savage ping!
The Republican Party is just a reflection of the people who vote for them. Since there is no uproar about John Boehner not ignoring someone for being nuts, I can only occur that most of those who vote for Boehner are fully immature and radical enough to want to crush the conservative segment, beyond elections.
Bottom line the voters were deprived of their wishes by congress people who stuck with Boner for a parking place, or an office with a window, or a committee assignment or toilet seat, etc. F them all!
Public! Serve Us!
My first new tagline in years.
You know, I am not at all pleased with Boehner, I would have loved to see a true conservative get elected as Speaker.
Do all of you realize that Pelosi got 164 votes? Had 50 or so Republicans voted for a change as many threatened to do, we would have that person back as Speaker, we all remember,” we have to pass it to know what is in it”.
I am sorry, but I love Boehner, compared to that Bitc_.
Looked like to me, a lot of the new Pubs didn’t cast their vote and waited to see if there was a chance to change the Speaker, when it became clear that the votes were not there, they voted for Boehner.
