The GOP-E did not cave.
The GOP-E has always been leftwing, big govt crony socialists.
Rope.
Neck.
Tree limb.
“Some assembly required”—AND I’M NOT KIDDING.
I looked at the voting on this...
Saw a TON of democrats vote ‘NAY’, while every Republican in my state voted ‘Yay’.
How disgusting. How UTTERLY disgusting, when fellow democrats vote AGAINST obama while Republicans vote WITH him!
We’re up against the wall, people.
FWIW, the Senate Conservative Fund is already airing some very tough radio ads against Boehner, McCarthy and Scalise. I’ve donated a bit for the ads; it made me feel a little better. The ads tell it like it is, and will hopefully cause others to think it out rather than backstabbing those who voted for them.
Why did the GOP “fold?”
The so called progressive majority lined their own pockets with the bill.
Obama has bought them off repeatedly.
End of story.
Result? The GOP has alienated its populist conservative base and that means they will stay home during the 2016 election. Say hello to another leftist president in November of 2016. The American people will have to tolerate another term of Hillery Clinton of Elizabeth Warren while the GOP annoints another drone loser GOP candidate such as Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney.
Horrid.
“In the meantime, conservatives won’t line up behind any one candidate while grassroots conservatives nitpick at all of the conservative candidates accusing all of them of being heretics of some sort. Then we’ll act like we don’t know what hit us when Jeb Bush becomes the nominee and we’ll really be left scratching our heads when he loses to Elizabeth Warren in November 2016.”
But don’t worry, we will still strut around calling the GOPe the stupid party when they keep getting everything they want.
I think the indys and moderate Dems(not very many but some) who actually shift the Republican Party are going to be surprised how liberal the GOPe really is.
It is clear that politics will not save this nation.
Now that ALL of the GOP Rinos came out of the shadows and voted with the Democrats to prop up Obama and do the bidding for Wall Street we can be assured that there will be plenty of part-time jobs available at minimum wage for ALL!

I find this to be a frighteningly accurate prediction of what is going to happen. Conservatives here on FR attack every possible conservative candidate for this or that. We are going to end up with Mitt again IMO. He will not allow Jeb to edge him out.
