Last ping of the day!
Thanks for posting. BTTT.
I agree completely. We desperately need fighters in the Republican Party. I will not give them anymore money until I start to see the gloves come off.
After going through 7 generals of the Army of the Potomac, that is exactly what Lincoln said about Grant...
Loved it!
Anyway, Cantor sounds good.
Thanks for these posts on Cantor. I feel I’ve been educated.
I spoke my piece on the other thread. No question that he looks good. He’s not well known, but he’s experienced and has shown leadership potential. If he were the VP choice I’d feel much better about voting for McCain. First, because it would show that McCain was finallyh doing something to reach out to the base, and second because he’d clearly be a good guy to give exposure to for future possibilities.
How many real conservatives do we have out there with a realistic chance of one day running for president? Not a whole lot.
My message to the President (copy to CongressCritters)
Dear Mr. President,
You are being buffaloed by a woman with no concept of her duties into failing to do YOUR duty. Your new tone has been a total failure, no matter your good intentions and dogged efforts to make it work. Your enemies - decidedly not adversaries or opponents, both of which imply a measure of fairness and sportsmanship - have interpreted your forbearance as ignorance and your civility as weakness. They have used both as opportunities to aggrandize themselves and diminish you, your principles, your party, and your colleagues. Continuing this folly is hazardous to our Country, and YOU must gather the personal courage to deal with the challenges you have ignored to this point.
IMMEDIATELY convene both houses of Congress to address the specific issue of domestic energy production.
DEMAND - publicly, loudly, and repeatedly - that both bodies directly address this issue, alone, immediately, and directly.
INFORM them that if they fail to act, and resume their obfuscation and delaying tactics, that you will keep them in session until their replacements convene on inauguration day, no matter how many quorum calls and new Presidential calls to convene are required for the purpose. Tell your Congressional leadership that the convenient fictions of gentlemanly filibuster and and pro forma argumentation to empty chambers must be put aside while the PEOPLEs business is handled to THEIR satisfaction, not the convenience of the poseurs in charge. What are they going to do - attempt to impeach you for performing your Constitutional duties? Question your intelligence, sanity, or courage? Call you names? Mr. President, you have already demonstrated that you absorb such abuse far beyond any reasonable level. Make it be for action, not inaction!
GO CANTOR!
