I want Newt!
and now it’s Romney for speaker
I guess my question would be: Is it tea party people political anarchy when the leadership promised action on those issues most important to voters these last two congressional elections that swept them into their positions of power?
Seems to me that the political anarchy comes when those that are sent to Washington in positions of power to do a job on behalf of the voters that put them there instead immediately scuttle action unless deemed proper by those few...after all who is the authority here? The representatives or the voters that put them there?
Its pretty clear who's side he is on:
This threat to the establishment from the conservative activist base is real. The sooner the establishment realizes it -- and the resignation of Boehner/demise of McCarthy should help them get it -- the better chance they will have to combat it.
usually governing is about give and take (or God forbid, compromise)...
better to win 80% of something than 100% of zero
Now, if we could only get Neut to agree to it...
This is why you continue to fight, you never know when the other side will cave in.
“And that is different from today how exactly?”
Game, set, match. Norm.
“immediately scuttle action” on the entire platform on which they were elected.
The RINOs promise X and do NEGATIVE X; the exact opposite.
Fund 0bamacare.
Fund Executive Amnesty.
Fund Planned Death.
You cannot find a conservative priority they have not actively undermined.
RINOs ARE THE OPPOSITION WE DESPISE, FUNCTIONALLY, IN PRINICPLE, IDEOLOGICALLY AND POLITICALLY.
RINOS ARE ON THE RUN! KEEP FIRING!!!!
Perhaps, looks like some Republican wrote a letter stating that the House Speaker must be clean of any scandal that can do harm to Congress and the party.
Do all political parties combat their base or is it just this one? HA!
Right now, we get 100% of what 0bama wants, 100% of the time, thanks to Boner and McTurtle.
So anything else is upside.
Yet, they continue to bow down to Obama.
Enough is enough.
He would be voted out.
Amen Brother.
Fire for effect!
So, the current motto of the Washington GROPe elites is “Better to agree with the democrats 100% of the time and be criticized all the time and be blamed for everything all of the time; than to win something 80% of the time and still be criticized 100% of the time.
Time for the elcted conservatives to act like conservatives and elect a conservative leader in the house, not just the next guy who’s “turn it is”.
Times are a changing and the House GOP better get with the program. Unfortunately with elected officials, there is little quality, but we need someone of high quality.
Its not that hard for the GOPe to figure out.
Adhere to the Constitution and nothing more. If you cannot do that then you do not represent the people that demand it.
how do they override obama’s vetoes?
Not at all...
Every fire of any real consequence needs a requisite spark large and powerful to not only ignite it...
But Sustain It...
