I forget - which Party has control of the House and Senate?
American Thinker ^ | 07/22/2015 | Keith Edwards

Posted on 07/22/2015 6:56:52 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

When Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi ran the Congress, they did as they damn well pleased. They held up legislation they didn’t want debated or voted on, they changed the rules to suit the needs of the Democrat Party and they said and did whatever it took to move theirs and Obama’s liberal socialist agenda forward.

You can call them bullies or even tyrannical, but one thing you can’t call them - spineless.

So how is that Republican House and Senate majority working for the people that voted them in? Are they on-task putting the country back on the conservative track? Not so much.

The Republican House and Senate have been totally emasculated when it comes to every issue the Obama regime puts forth? They have done absolutely nothing to stop our country’s march to socialism at the hands of Obama and his minions.

And for the sake of our beloved nation and the nation of Israel, can anyone please explain why the Republican congress can’t – or won’t - do anything to stop the Iran nuclear deal?

Even with sixty days to look over and debate the deal, it’s a forgone conclusion what’s going to happen at the end of the sixty days. Sure they will probably vote against the deal, but it’s all but guaranteed they won’t be able to muster enough votes needed to override Obama’s veto. At which point the Republicans will fold-up like a cheap suit and crawl back to their constituents licking their wounds and telling them they did all they could do.

It should be obvious. Look at all the bills that Obama has had to veto. Never mind.

It’s an easy mistake to make. The Democrats are in charge, they will always be in charge.

The republicrat party has that dubious distinction.

The Republican wing of the Democratic Party.

It is pointless to vote in congressional elections.

Congressional elections have been corrupted into Uniparty courtesy fornications that lure the sheeple into thinking they are participants in republican government.

Article V before we can't.

“control” is a relative term to the republicans who “run” the Congress....

There’s an old joke that seems to be more accurate than ever:

In DC, the Democrats propose to tear down the Washington Monument, and the Republicans respond with a sensible, workable plan to do it in three stages.

More proof that voting has been a waste of time.

We’re not getting the results we expected from the GOP house or senate. It’s time WE THE PEOPLE started putting some pressure on “Boner” and Mcconnell.

The first thing Freepers need to wrap their minds around is the stark reality that the Republican party is not conservative. Not even a little bit. Then you can take it from there.

I sincerely believe that the Republicans will lose the Senate in 2016 and, most likely, the House.

After all, when you crap all over the people who sent you to DC to do a specific job—Stopping Obama and the DIMS—you’ll probably not enjoy their support ever again. I know I’m done with them.

This also creates a problem for the GOP presidential nominee, whomever that might be. The non-turnout by disaffected, pissed-off conservatives in 2016 may well overshadow the 2012 stay-at-home.

The dependent factions suckling at the federal teat truly have no other choice than to vote DemocRAT. Self-reliant conservatives have other options.

And before you flame me, you’d better be ready to defend the sterling job of leadership displayed by Boner and McTurtle.

The GOPe is the K-Street Party. A soulless party that only cares about doing its bidding.

They are the ones responsible for the rise of Trump.

And that is not insulting Trump.
