CNN ^ | Jan 21 2015 | Deirdre Walsh

Washington (CNN)Mark it down as a rare win for House GOP moderates. After scrambling into the evening on Wednesday, House Republican leaders decided to scrap a vote on a controversial anti-abortion measure scheduled to coincide with an annual gathering of anti-abortion advocates on Thursday because they couldn't round up enough support.

LOL Win what? The privilege of having people labeling themselves as republicans continue with more of the same? Great — the last time they got Congress and the White House, we got:

A few hundred Billion added to Medicare via prescription drug welfare,
The PATRIOT Act
The TSA

I’ll pass, if its all the same to you. There is not one person that has held power since Reagan that has not passed up on the chance to crap on the Constitution and impose the soft tyranny we see growing every day. Every single one of them will make sure that their corporate sponsors are taken care of and if that means dumping on the rest of us, oh well.

The next politician I lift a finger for is the one that says its time to burn it all down and start over.

Again, if you remain in denial about the fact that all of the voting in the country is EXACTLY what has produced where we are today, you will continue in an abuse relationship. Wake up!

You can vote Dem if you think the country will be better off...or not vote (which is virtually the same as voting Dem)...or vote third party (which is virtually the same as voting Dem).

Me, I’ll vote REPUBLICAN and I will do what I can to get the Elite JERKS out of my party, so that conservatives can rule.

So it looks as though our approaches are different.

RE:&rdquoYeah, but I like Sarah too... so I guess I’m a “Palinista” as well.”

She sure knows how to play the gullible.

Some never learn.

Check out my tagline.

I will vote — too many good men have died since 1770 too make sure I could that for me to dishonor it by sitting out.

But, I do not think voting for any members of the current ruling class honors their sacrifice, either, no matter how they self-label or how sweetly they can spew their lies.

I actually started looking past the meaningless labels and empty words nearly 15 years ago. What I saw was that what these people did, no matter what they called they called themselves and perhaps more significantly, what they refused to even discuss, was a lot more important to understanding the scam than the Kabuki Theater of our political processes.

You could learn a lot with some intense study of our tax codes, FRiend.

“Gullible”??? Ouch. I have no illusions. She hasn’t said she was running, so I believe that she isn’t. What’s gullible about that?

I just like what she has to say, and wish she was saying it in an “Official” capacity... like from the WH Podium with the Seal in front of it.

The voice of the herald of the death of REPRESENTATIVE self-government.

Haven't seen a ballot yet that allowed you to vote against a candidate. The only choices offered are to vote FOR one.

Sorry, but yours is a fool's game. At this point in history, that is obvious to most decent, thinking people.

I'm a Christian and a citizen, one who is accountable to God for how I exercise the great gift of liberty He has given to me and mine. I don't owe a thing to unprincipled political bookies.

She still works for FNC as a commentator meaning she cant be running now, as with all of 2011. But that doesn't stop......

Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin is saying she is “seriously interested” in running for president in 2016, injecting some intrigued into next year’s race and the already crowded field of potential GOP candidates.
Palin 'seriously interested' in 2016 run, adding another big name to growing potential field (Fox News Channel ^ | January 24, 2015 | Fox News )

Heard she had some teleprompter problems at the summit and it wasn't pretty, also that Walker got the standing ovation.

Bush, Romney, Rubio and Paul didn't show. Probably means that one of them will be the GOP nominee.

God chooses and permits evil leaders to rule over those who refuse to worship Him until they grow weary of the punishment and cry out to Him.

Come soon Lord Jesus!

AMEN..America needs a revival....
