If you think it’s bad now, (and it is) just imagine how horrible it will be for our kids and their kids. They’ve run up more debt than we could ever even begin to pay. I knew the dems were communists but I’m completely dismayed and ashamed of the GOP.
I’m all in to run them ALL out.
Kick ass and take names, or vice versa
I read that it is now mathematically impossible to pay down the debt we now have incurred.
A complete collapse is inevitable at this point, and I am certain it was by design.
A people will trade and surrender everything for a mere promise of bread when in the midst of fear and privation.
And that is never lost on totalitarians and Marxists.
Too bad that truth is lost on so many wishful optimists in our midst.
Tea Party til we die !
VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR REPUBLICANS THIS MIDTERM: "Et tu, Boehner?" Referring to how Speaker Boehner betrayed and stabbed midterm Republican voters in the back with his passage of the recent traitorous spending bill.
BOEHNER: Who is Judas? Why do people keep calling me Judas as I walk down the street? Why did someone recently leave 30 pieces of silver on my doorstep? I only want what is best for America. As my secret friend Obama likes to say: "It was the right thing to do.God bless America!"
Well the Tea Party is about to be over. The GOP got very little in the CRomnibus bill save the one thing they truly wanted: the CFR reform to allow the donatiuons to congressional campaign committees to soar a thousandfold. The Chamber of Commerce, and all of it’s business RINO tentacles, will now be able to flush the coffers of the GOP House & Senate campaign committees all for the expressed purpose of quashing primary opponents of incumbent RINO’s. Unless the Tea Party finds a group of multi billionaire underwriters, the GOP-E’s tactic of reforming the committee donations will effectively end Tea Party candidates making any headway at all.
EXACTLY.
Folks who erroneously think we can just incrementally vote liberty back, are clueless as to where we have arrived.
The Republic has been fundamentally transformed into an Imperial Fascist Oligarchy - and it was the GOP who legitimized it, funded it and rubber stamped tyranny as how government will now operate.
In short, the GOP just voted to approve Obama’s lawless dictatorship and they declawed the new Congress before it has even been seated and have made sure that no Conservative will ever make it through a primary again.
Conservatism has been made politically irrelevant by the very party Conservatives swore allegiance to in the last two elections.
I would much prefer to live in boring times and be left the H_ _ _! alone.
but alas, mine is not to reason why . . .
He voted with Cruz. BUT, HE SAID THE MANEUVER WOULD PROVE USELESS.
In regard to Dirty Harry Reid "caving in:" Well, OK, but he also showed that half the "Republicans" in the Senate can be used to help the Obama Administration do whatever it wants to do.
The Injun Princess Lizzie gave a speech that sounded a lot like Cruz', but then SHE did not vote what she said were her convictions. Obama backs her. She backed him, even after publicly disagreeing.
Great bunch'o'whores we got up there, eh?
You started posting re those NKVD/KGB “cultural assets” and I thought, “uh-oh”, but you came through like a Freeper. Keep kicking ass, FRiend, esp when PBS floats more weepy, soppy “retrospectives” on all the Commie songsters and poetasters and Hollywood agitators.
Didn’t Reid do this to get some other Democrat nominees passed that they couldn’t if they were not in session?
Sorry, my mistake.

There’s actually more chance of primarying them because the GOP Senate is going to do-nothing-conservative and beg to keep them.
Amoung them, these are up for reelection in 2016

The Whigs are dead and Crybaby Boehner killed it. There can be no more pretense about the GOP being the party of Main Street. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A WING OF THE UNIPARTY.
AND WE HAVE ALLOWED IT.
NO MORE. RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE.
Interesting McCain voted with Cruz and his pal Lindsay Graham with the Yes crowd.
Sanders, Warren, and Frankenstein voting with Cruz and Lee. Politics does make strange bedfellows.
I do find it encouraging both parties were split on the issue. It may be we can move to a new period were automatc lock step party line voting is replaced with coalitions comprised of independent legislators. That would be good for the Republic. I’m also encouraged some on the left apparently fear the imperial presidency.
