and so it goes.

During the summer of 2009, conservative activists turned up the heat on Democratic politicians to protest the innovation-destroying, liberty-usurping Obamacare mandate. In the summer of 2012, it’s squishy Republican politicians who deserve the grassroots flames.
In case you hadn’t heard, even if the Supreme Court overturns the progressives’ federal health care juggernaut, prominent GOP leaders vow to preserve its most “popular” provisions. These big-government Republicans show appalling indifference to the dire market disruptions and culture of dependency that Obamacare schemes have wrought.
GOP Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, vice chair of the Senate GOP Conference, told a St. Louis radio station two weeks ago that he supports keeping at least three Obamacare regulatory pillars: federally imposed coverage of “children” up to age 26 on their parents’ health insurance policies (the infamous, unfunded “slacker mandate”), federally mandated coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions (“guaranteed issue,” which turns the very concept of insurance on its head and leads to an adverse-selection death spiral) and closure of the coverage gap in the massive Bush-backed Medicare drug entitlement (the “donut hole fix” that will obliterate the program’s cost-controls).

Where does presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney stand? Despite repeated assurances that he will abandon Obamacare in its entirety, Romney is surrounded by GOP socialized medicine helpmates. In January, Romney adviser Norm Coleman said, “(We’re) not going to repeal the act in its entirety … you can’t whole cloth throw it out.”
BS Romney-bot betrayal. Of course the whole damned thing can be thrown out. But, obviously Romney has no intention of doing so!
So when do we get around to pushing Romney to the right? LOL
Where are the Romney-Bots to explain how Romney will go against GOP politicians in the House and Senate as they try and keep parts of Obamacare alive?
How about explaining away how Romney, and his staff, are on record proclaiming that they want to implement RomneyCare, with it’s individual mandate, at the state level?
We're likely stuck with Romney as the GOP presidential nominee but that doesn't mean we have to lie down and let him do as he pleases, if elected. This means a Republican-majority congress is vital and it has to have an abundance of conservatives, like Senator Jim Demint, who are willing to battle Romney - and thwart him - if, as president, he succumbs to his liberal urges.
There is but one solution for Obamacare.
DUMP it in it’s entirety and start over.
It’s a good thing to do with anyone who opposes us for doing it too.
The sooner conservatives understand that our republican leadership are ALL Big Government, New World Order socialists the better we will al be.
The sooner we throw ALL RINO’s out of office, the better. Unfortunately, that will be fairly difficult, as they BUY their votes by massive ‘constituent services.’
We need to get quite busy throwing out a LOT of 'Republicans' in Congress. Most of them are so tied to liberalism they are worthless.
Right after we get around to pushing him to appoint Conservative Judges.
Liberalism and conservatism mean nothing to them, it's the money in their back pockets that counts.
Two terms for congressman, two *4 year* year terms for senators.
The hell with career politicians making themselves rich at the nation's expense.
Now, I am NOT saying that Romney is a Communist, But he is a Government loving Socialist that will be scratching his head wondering "how did this happen"? after he pulls the GOP permanently to the left, that the party of treason has no opposition.
There is a chance that since Romney isn’t black he won’t be able to flash that race card of immunity and get away with bloody murder of America. Republican Congressman might find themselves once again able to hold the POTUS accountable because he will no longer be black. Fear of being labeled ‘racist’ will no longer be a part of the political landscape. Amen.
We have to get as big of a majoirty in both houses as possible in 2012, and push as many seats to principled conservatives as possible. After the election, we need to make it abundantly clear that the clock is running, and that we will stay home in 2014, and they will all go home in Dec 2014 if they do not stand strong and make the changes needed. This means, purely market driven reforms on health care, enacting the Ryan plan to reform Medicare and Medicaid and reforming taxes, cleaning up the code and lowering rates. Anything less than these three things means an abbreviated term for anyone up in 2014.
Great graphic. Kind of reminds me of that fellow who said he was, how’d he say it, “Severely conservative?” Talk about an ill-fitting disguise.
But, the refrain from all is that Romney will be better than Obama - he'll only be slightly a pinko-commie-better-than Obacommie.
Needless to say, that put me on their fundraising "call list."
For the past year, I've answered every one of their numerous calls with "not ONE MORE DIME until Obamacare is either repealed or defunded!" (which the House can do).
I then hang up.
Hopefully hitting them in the pocketbook will get their attention.
The only thing we can do is try to clean up the GOP Congress, and get the replacements to nix as much of Obacommie-health-rip-off as possible. Frankly, I think we're screwed already.
We’ve got a huge job on our hands to revamp the GOP at the state and national levels. That has to be done, and done as harshly as necessary to rid the party of cave-in squishy sell-outs. It’s not going to be exactly easy - but, it’s the only common-sense option.
