Arizona Senator, Jon Kyl, was on Face the Nation the other day talking about Obama's latest pick for the Supreme Court of the US, Elena Kagan. During this interview he showed that he really had very little information on her background and core far left liberal beliefs. As usual he came off to me as an unknowing politician from Washington DC. He ended the interview by stating that a filibuster was off the table. Folks, we can now concede that this nominee will get voted in as the most powerful way of stopping her has been withdrawn. All the Democrats had to do during the Bush years was say that they were filibustering something, and it was all over. It didn't matter if it was a bill or a judicial nomination being considered, it was gone. You would think by now the Republicans in Congress would show a little spine, but you would be mistaken.

Good point. In my state (I don’t know if it is like this in others) You can run for state GOP committeeman/woman and that is a way to get your foot in the door.
As bad as some of our RINOs are, as yes they are bad, they still fall way short of the flat out evilness that is the Democrat party.
Sure many/most in the Republican party are corrupt and only care about getting re-elected just like the Democrats, but the difference is the Democrats also want to control everybody and destroy everything that made this country great.
Remember the Democrats started as the party of slavery and to this day nothing has changed.
All of the nutty legislation to expand the federal government, destroy private enterprise & nationalize industries, bankrupt the treasury, eponentially expand the deficit to make future generations indentured serfs & hack mercilessly away at our individual freedoms which had been effectively bottled up in committee by Republicans for the last decade came pouring out once the dems came to complete power.
And most here would contend "they're all the same"? The utter inanity of that cavalierly mindless sentiment is what gave the dems unchecked power in this country in the first place.
But, hey, it's still a relatively free country for now. Go ahead & vote third party & splinter up conservatives' power so the dems can continue to enjoy a field unencumbered by any impediment whatsoever to their agenda, so that they may continue assaulting our freedoms and condemning everybody's kids & grandkids & all unborn generations to lives of economic & social servitude to their masters in government, living in grave peril under the banner of a nation that has become to weak to defend herself from the world's worst bad guys.
Just don't do so & expect anybody else who isn't smoking anything to buy the boatload of caca that you are in any way shape or form a 'conservative' who is worried about the survival of this republic.
I'll definately pass on the Lemon party, though.
The Dems are totally evil but the public is stupid. They want TV and stupidity. As long as TV has the power and people do not cancel it and turn it off then we are serfs.
You’ll notice that none of these brave republicans wants to acknowledge what I posted in post number 6. They’re too busy telling us how it feels better when republicans screw us. LOL
>As bad as some of our RINOs are, as yes they are bad, they still fall way short of the flat out evilness that is the Democrat party.
A compromise with evil always works to evil’s advantage.
There will always be a difference between the ‘ideologies’ of the two parties.
The MSM and NEA have been making titanic efforts to blur the line and to some extent have succeeded. Why not, with the deck is stacked in THEIR favor??
Additionally…. the differences BETWEEN politicians has become hopelessly blurred. This trend has been both intentional and inadvertent.
Politicians have themselves fueled the confusion in order to manipulate and further exploit voters.
The MSM has capitalized on the disorder and lack of clarity (instead of researching/reporting on it) to advance the Liberal agenda.
The NEA has been hard at work to force a literal hemorrhage of ideologies and views, to cast the hard won, just and demonstrably efficient American two-party system as something of an unholy and illicit political form…and in the process they created an everlasting and fierce class animosity the likes of which this country has NEVER seen!!!
All this the NEA and MSM have done in a way absolutely incompatible with their professional honor and traditional roles in this society! Their arrogance and culpability are unforgivable.
They have recklessly abused their place in this society to capitalize on the confusion and discord. They are squandering EVERYTHING Americans have always worked and fought for.
For shame! Next election, remember THIS too!!
You are so right.
A republican firmly on the leash of the SEIU could easily become the next United States representative from Michigan’s 1st district and morons choose to look the other way in an attempt to avoid electing a political twin who happens to have the letter D in front of their name.
Conservatives like that are just as much to blame for this country’s mess as the worst democrat.
“There will never be a difference between these two corrupted parties “
False.
The truth is that the two Parties are different. You can give a few anecdotal blurbs, but if you look at platforms, voting records...
There is a huge difference.
That doesn’t mean that the GOP is purely conservative ideologically, but it is much more conservative and less progressive than the Socialist Dems.
All these politicians reek of the stench of corruption and arrogance, some more than others. Once in power it is nearly impossible to make any high ranking politician pay for their corruption, and they know it. You give that kind of insulation from consequences to any human being they'll eventually take full advantage of it and just do as they please. That's why it's unwise to keep electing the same people to power decade after decade. What the American people seem to have forgotten is that the election process was instituted to prevent the corruption that is inherent with long term power .
Having said that, I also know that the US Senate and Presidency are usually purchased with dollars. He who spends most usually wins. Freedom is a difficult thing to maintain.
Yeah, the spelling.
It's not so much the individual, but the power represented by the Party. Looking at the legislation pushed and passed since the Democrats took over the Congress only proves that there is a difference. I WANT the Republican Party to be the party of "HELL NO", when it comes to increased spending and growth of government.
Sadly, the Republicans in Congress in the late 90's, meandered to the center, then the left, in order to garner better press from the MSM. All they got for their efforts was the boot in 2004 and 2006, and the Congress went to the Democrats. The Tea Partiers are reminding the Republican Party of their roots, and where their REAL support lies. I think some are definitely getting the message, and the elections in 2010 will reflect that.
Speaking of caca, the only thing shovel ready this administration has produced is caca.
yes
