Stop using the liberal media scapegoat to hide the fact that Republicans are not taking a clear cut stand against a tax increase as I would if I were in DC.

My Republican congressman said he was being misread by the liberal media when he spoke of there being different factions in Congress that needed to work together.

But Congressman Scott Perry made the comments to the local liberal rag on the occasion of a fundraiser in 2013 where the featured speaker was none other than John Boehner.

Perry just supported Boehner for the second time for Speaker.

history
1954 - 1994 democrats controlled congress for 40 years. that and the liberal media monopoly no Internet etc. allowed democrats to create this huge government we have . you all blame Republicans.

1994- 2006 finally Republicans gain a simple majority in congress . in all these years Republicans stopped Amnesty , hillary care , gun control, global warming legislation, higher taxes, and more socialism. it is because of the Republicans holding the House since 1994 that you have a right to own a gun and property . you constantly bash Repubilcans but never Obama and democrats. the media is the main problem as they give people the wrong information. te minute democrats got a super majority in both houses in 2006 they immediately passed obamacare. not a singel Republican voted for Obamacare. since then republicans have tried to repeal Obamacare with hundreds of bills which democrats and obama blocked . you continously bash Republicans incited by the liberal media with fake stories like this article by nbc news.

no republicans are not perfect and there are a lot of bad Republicans . boner is a socialist jerk. ok but this is the hand we are dealt with as the media created this false reality we live in . democrats want to take your guns the rest of your property and to make you slave . that is your enemy the democrat party as they own the media, the presidency (the worst villain in the history of the world Obama) . there is nothing else between democrats and your freedom the only thing there is the GOP a group of politicians that are flawed but there is nothing else now. now the new congress is seated and finally Republicans have some numbers , a vote on defunding amnesty tomorow, keystone, a ban on late term abortions , repealing obamacare etc. all very conservative bills being pushed by this new finally a Republican congress seated this january : a new power on the right rises!

I lived much of that time and remember comedian Flip Wilson’s line “The devil made me do it”.

I guess you are telling me Nixon’s signing off on the EPA and OSHA, the framework he and Dr. Henry Kissinger created for the Communist takeover of Vietnam with the Paris Peace Accords and so on happened because ‘the liberal media made them do it.’

Currently, GOP senators in Washington are working on more visas to bring foreign tech workers in to cheapen the labor force, the aforementioned higher gas taxes and in the House
some sort of immigration reform “Amnesty” that comes later after the show over defunding Obama’s amnesty.

The new House is putting on meaningless show votes as they continue to spend beyond means and refuse to balance the budget. Inevitably the GOP leaders will ram through some sort of tax increases like Paul Ryan already did in the last two years called ‘airline fees’.

Republicans and Democrats have a track record of making government bigger like when George W. Bush signed off on Medicare Part D for the 2004 elections with the GOP majorities in Congress.

It was like so much policy in recent years a big financial boon for a business putting tax dollars into pharmaceutical products. It was the first of many taxpayer bailouts of businesses and labor unions to follow.

Democrats had control of congress from 1954 to 1994 . the democrats used this 40 year span to create this huge government.

Republicans finally got majorities in the Congress in 1994. what tax increase have Republicans passed or major increase in government in those 20 years? there were no tax increases, amnesty blocked,hillary care blocked , gun control blocked. there wasn't no major increases in socialist or welfare government during the time that Republicans had a majority in the House. keep in mind that democrats were also in the Congress it wasn't 100% Republican. but they still managed to block all that socialism. the only thing you anti-gop can think of in all that time is your medicare part d . that's all you have . that's it. what's stopping major tax increases, multi culturally SHIPPING in hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants, gun control , full socialism what? what ? are you going to answer? what has stopped all this since 1994 ? you think the media and democrats who are one and the same don't want all this and more all your property and your freedomom? what's keeping you able to post here, and to have some choices in what you buy , what ? since you say Republicans want the same thing democrats want then why can you still choose what to buy and post here? why? can you answer? it's not democrats and Obama you think Obama wouldn't want to censor you and choose your "doctor" for you? come on can you answer any of this? democrats all voted for Obamacare even though they knew Americans didn't want it. every single democrat voted for obamacare. so you think democrats wouldn't vote to take away your guns, freedom,property , choices? think again yes they do want that . and i want democrats stopped . that's all i want gop to do stop democrats and stop obama. they did except obamacare but democrats had super majorities for Obamacare and Obama and the media
