Yeah, how many handshakes and "gentlemen's agreements" have we seen, only to get screwed over (intentionally of course).

Cruz and Lee and Paul are working to stop Harry Reid and his minions from pulling shenanigans with the budget conference.

And oh, by the way. If a unanimous consent is denied, a roll call vote can still be called. Nothing is being obstructed, they just don't want to go through all the hoops that they themselves have created.

[Logical me]

McCain has proved to be a closet liberal and is not to be trusted. He has given up the Constitution and idolized King Obama.

[muawiyah]

McCain has undoubtedly had another series of small strokes.

[Paine in the Neck]

Cruz is such a breath of fresh air. Finally, someone in DC who understands the true nature of his enemies.

[Yosemitest]

Ya' think .. ?

Here's the report on the GOP TRAITORS in the the Senate Judiciary Committee

(Chuck Grassley Ranking Member, R-Iowa; Orrin G. Hatch R-Utah; Jeff Sessions R-Alabama; Lindsey Graham R-South Carolina [Gof8] ; John Cornyn R-Texas; Michael S. Lee R-Utah; Ted Cruz R-Texas; Jeff Flake R-Arizona [Gof8] ).
"Three Republicans, including Gang of Eight members Senators Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham along with Sen. Orrin Hatch voted with the Democratic majority."

Click on them and let them know what you think.

In short, the GOP is full of VILE members who'll sell us out in a heartbeat!

Here are the ones that I know about.
What do we do when our side is full of TRAITORS?
I submit the following for proof.

"The Republican leadership did not allow the amendment to be considered. "
Here's the Republicans Leadership Internet Page.

If any one of those senators tells you they did not vote to fund Obamacare or, in fact, voted against funding Obamacare,
they are being mendacious.
They may have voted for Ted Cruz’s amendment,
but after it failed,
they still knowingly and willingly voted to fund Obamacare.
And now they are lying to their constituents who call them out on it.

Many of these same Senators are also supporting separate legislation to foist a massive tax increase on the American people.

And let's not forget Sen. John McCain, one of Conservatives worst enemies, saying 'I don't understand' GOP filibuster on guns.

Sen. John McCain

Thanks to Cyropaedia for this:

And the Gang of 8 will try to tell you that this is just one more reason we need to pass amnesty, -NOW.

[Irenic]

Me either.

[llevrok]

As long as Boehner et al is leading the House, I wouldn’t trust the GOP either.

[Dick Bachert]

Sadly, this crap has been going on for waayyyy too long. Time to either clean up the GOP or get a new one formed around the Tea Party.

I’ve posted this a number of times and do so again inasmuch as THIS is a constantly recurring problem and some may not grasp how widespread it is.

Over the years – when, to steal a line from Billy Joel, I wore a younger man’s clothes – I was involved with several pretty solid conservative candidates for Congress. One was a Democrat (Lawrence Patton McDonald) – because that was the only way he could win in that district. Those old-timers who know Larry’s record will tell you that he was a solid an anti-communist America Firster and more Republican than the Pubbies in nearby districts at the time. (His mother’s cousin was General George Patton from whom he got the middle name – and his incredible resolve and love of this country.) How ironic that he, like General Patton, was also assassinated by the communists they both despised.

Those other candidates ran as Republicans. Because I was a rabid Bircher back then (still am philosophically!), those candidates had to pass my rigid litmus test or I went looking for someone who did. For that reason, I hooked up with what the TRADITIONAL country club Pubbie establishment types believed were too radical for their refined tastes.

As those campaigns began to unfold and it became clear to the country clubbers that these guys 1) had a shot and 2) were pretty independent thinkers who would be hard to keep on the reservation once they got sworn in, the local Pubbies communicated that information to the Republican National HQ types who rather quickly sent in campaign “professionals” ostensibly to lock up the impending victory.

Instead, in nearly every case to which I was privy, these “professionals” proceeded to TORPEDO our guy’s campaign in subtle but effective ways.

From that experience I can tell you that the Pubbies at the HQ in D.C. would rather have a Democrat win a given district than have a pubbie up there who would embarrass them by refusing to follow the party line.

If YOU become involved in campaigns for solidly conservative, America and Constitution loving, hard-nosed, independent thinking candidates in 2012 and beyond – and I pray many of you do — please DO NOT trust any of those folks from GOP HQ in Washington. If they want to send you no-strings cash for your campaign, take it. If, however, they “suggest” sending in one of their “professionals,” tell them to fuggetaboutit.

They ARE WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!!

[ScottinVA]

I could see Ted going indie at some future time. The Republicans are no long dependable.

[skeeter]

‘Bizarre’ aptly describes Senator McQueeg.

[hadaclueonce]

From Ted’s lips to God’s ears.

Ted has the pulse of those who elected him.

[detective]

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday that he doesn’t trust members of his own party to negotiate a budget conference report.”

Well that pretty much makes it unanimous. I can't think of a single intelligent, knowledgeable person who trusts the Republican leadership to stand up for the American people and negotiate effectively.

[PieterCasparzen]

Mr. Cruz and America have almost 17 trillion reasons to not trust them.

[greene66]

Trust? The GOP? After four years of watching the backstabbing of Palin? And then see them go wobbly on every issue from fiscal cliffs to homos in the military to Obamacare funding to amnesty for illegals?

No, I don’t have the slightest shred of trust in the Republican Party anymore. I really don’t. Not a single shred.

[BO Stinkss]

I love ted Cruz!

[veracious]

McSane ain't. He is worse than a party hack from a hacked party, he should be _long_ gone.

The GOP needs to be rehabilitated or taken out back of the barn and put out its compromising, cowardly misery. Tea time or end the facade.

[Hildy]

John McCain looked me in the eye and said to me, “NO AMNESTY.” We were at an event this last election. I told him that his votes made it “difficult” to trust him. So I said, right here, in front of all these people, I want you to tell us that you will not vote for any kind of amnesty. He promised he wouldn’t. I said to him..Senator McCain, “SAY IT...SAY I WILL NOT VOTE FOR AMNESTY OF ANY KIND.”

Term limits.

[nomad]

Can this actually be? Some common sense from a congress-critter.

I wouldn`t trust the republiCRAT party with my dirty shorts.

[SeminoleCounty]

Cruz gets it....too bad too many liberal PhonyCons don’t

[SgtHooper]

Is this guy for real!? He sounds waaaaay too good.
