Essentially the whole republican Congress is just laughing it up in the manner similar to that pic of ø, jarret and company being as giddy at their destruction of America.

Et tu a$$holes?

Is there any more reason for doubt?

Of course they do. For the most part, they serve as nothing more than the “conservative” wing of the far-left democrat party.

“Don’t rock the boat, Ted, the Constitution doesn’t matter any more. Our plan is SO close to coming to fruition - PLEASE stop trying to save this once-great country”

I have seen a few FR posts recently knocking Cruz. . .probably to promote their favorite candidate

You should see the stuff being done on nearly every Walker thread by the "Cruz or lose" crowd. I sure wish folks would defend their guy instead of tearing down (often through lies or exaggerations) the other guy.

Orin Hatch! What a retard! Did someone remove his balls? He thinks they should vote for Lynch because she is not Eric Holder? Well, she is WORSE than Holder. Not only does she think and act just like Holder, she actually was involved in fraudulently setting up the US Senator from Alaska, Ted Stephens on trumped up charges which ended with the Democrats picking up the US Senate seat for Alaska. Not to mention serious misdeeds that have been carried out in the US Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of New York under her watch. She has no business being AG.

THE NEW AMERICAN, a posting from the Magazine of the John Birch Society.
Didn’t know they were still around, attended a few meetings in the early fifties.... lets dig up Franklin Roosevelt and George Marshall and tar and feather them.

We only have a precious few willing to stand up for the republic.

2010: GOP tell us we have to win the congress so we can oppose 0bama. But they do nothing.
2014: GOP tells us we have to win the senate to oppose 0bama. But they cave, do nothing.
2016: GOP will tell us that we need to vote for the establishment candidate to get rid of 0bama’s policies, rules and laws.
As Hitlery famously said “what difference does it make”

The theme of the entire 2016 campaign will be “what difference does it make”

The New American is still grinding out very Conservative commentary and will be around until the Second Coming.

We don't need to dig up FDR for a tar and feather party as we've got Bath House Barry and a host of his appointees AND all those complicit Republicrats.

At this point, the Republicans have everything to gain by keeping Holder as Attorney General, because Holder “can hear them jail doors clanging”, and is scared that all too soon he might be wearing federal pajamas himself, for the various and sundry crimes he has committed.

This has caused Holder to start doing his job well for a change, such things as ending the hateful scheme of giving police departments the ill-gotten gains of money and property confiscations.

His potential replacement, however, is such a crazy radical that she has probably told herself that she can do anything she wants and Obama will pardon her. And she is so Cynthia McKinney level nuts that heaven knows what evil she would perpetrate on the nation in the next two years or so.

So the bottom line to the senate is, despite whatever you might think political advantage you might get by approving her, don’t do it. Stay with the devil you know, not one itching to go crazy in a position of power.

The country does not need an insane Maoist Marxist as Attorney General right now. We truly don’t.

Yes, it is.

They aren’t terrified.

The GOP is an element of this government, and it supports the government agenda.

They are all members of the same club.

Politico reported the following day that Cruz’s proposal has been rejected by several influential GOP senators, including his Texas colleague, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn.

Everyone who is surprised by this, stand on your heads.

Flake has also said...“The president ought to get his people as long as there’s no disqualifying substance there...

Hey Flake, you are stepping on your cord.

Lynch testified she would support what almost all of your colleagues describes as "unconstitutional executive action". I.e., she has announced that she will be an accomplice-in-fact of an executive branch that ignores the Constitution. HTH do you define "disqualifying substance"?

Man up pal, you told the voters you wanted to be in this gun fight.

I agree, although I support Cruz as my favorite, I accept that he may not be THE candidate in 2016, and I could vote for a few others - NOT Bush and NOT Hucklebee. NO WAY Lindsey G or Chrispy.

I like Palin, although her continued support for John McCain is a little hard to take, I also like Rand Paul (watch the haters come out), and maybe Walker. Although Rubio would be a little difficult, but maybe if he articulates a better position on immigration.

I have held my nose the last 2 elections and pulled the R lever, but I don't see myself falling in line with the R for Bush. At that point, Clinton or Bush doesn't matter, I would rather send a message to the GOPe by my NON-VOTE for Bush.

Because it’s OK to confirm someone that will continue Holder’s GetYT agenda.

Watch out for Cornyn. He’s getting ready to do his treasonous two-step again - vote for cloture to advance the candidate then ostentaciously vote against on the floor.

So the useless, lazy, spineless, republicans are going to replace Holder with someone who is just as lawless (We know this because of Cruz.) as he is. Whooohooo! What was the point of voting for them?

Why should that surprise you? If you have seen how the republicans operate for any length of time, say two seconds, you knew that they would fight Cruz tooth and toenail. But.........

A good number of us here know what, in your words," Pathetic tools they are." And each election cycle we are raked over the coals and savaged for pointing this out. We are told what liars we are and the only way to straighten things out is to elect Republicans. The day after the election, things go back to the way they were and the Republicans begin making excuses and saying, "Elect me and I will repeal obamacare".

The problem is that Ted Cruz showed them how to get rid of obamacare. Then someone turned out the lights and when they came back on Ted's back was full of Republican knives.

There are both cowards and collaborators in the GOP, and many are a bit of each. The net result is the same.
