Wasn’t a Republican Congress supposed to END Obama’s abuse of power?
Coach is Right ^ | 7/5/15 | Suzanne Eovaldi

Congress got pumped and America’s citizens got dumped with the passage of the dangerous Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation that looks to send even more of our jobs overseas. “This is what all trade treaties guarantee,” says analyst Jon Rappoport. “The overwhelming leakage of jobs from industrial countries to under developed countries,” is Globalism’s meat and potatoes engine driving our huge job transfer out of the USA.” (1) The plunder of our economic and personal wealth was just bought and paid for in our own Congress with obscene amounts of special interest money “buying” out our Republican leaders. Let’s look at the filthy pay to play in the Pacific Obamatrade statistics just coming out thanks to research done by Maplight.org.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was “paid” $9.2 million by interests not for America; Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) $5.3 million; Marco Rubio (R-FL) $3.9 million for a “bill he never read;” Lindsey Graham (R-SC) $3.4 million; Orrin Hatch $4.2 million. (2) Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) picked up $5 million; Mike McCarthy (R-CA) $2.4 million; Steve Scalise (R-LA) $1.2 million.

“For Paul Ryan, the price of American sovereignty was $2.2 million,” says reporter Rick Wells. Wells continues, “in the instance of H.R. 1314, the legislation vehicle for moving Obamatrade, from the period of October 1st of 2012 to September 30, 2014, the amount of potentially influential financial contributions heaped upon the largely unscrupulous members of Congress in both chambers was nothing short of OBSCENE!” (emphasis added) Wells goes on to say that very dangerous legislation which gives Obama uncontested authority to negotiate with the Pacific rim countries will bring harm to US citizens needing jobs within our own country. These terrible trade deals all started with Bill Clinton’s push for NAFTA!

Think again if you believed Republicans...

Which is why the Dem was not the “lesser evil” as far as he and Mithc (along with a few others) was concerned.

A corrupt leader vs a powerless freshman dem isn’t rocket science.

In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies. In a 1996 documentary by PBS called The People and the Power Game, Boehner said "They asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. And I did it on the House floor, which I regret. I should not have done. It's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that‘s gone on here for a long time that we're trying to stop and I know I'll never do it again."

A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.".

Let Us Face Facts: Boehner And Those RINO's = The Best Politicians Money Can Buy!

There is a gay bar in Bullhead City AZ called the Lariat.

You’d be surprised at how many cowboys get a hell of a shock every year when Laughlin holds a Rodeo...

The RINOs and DINOs are nothing but whores for sale. If we had a justice system, over half of our politicians would be in jail.

Yeah, the seperation of power has failed, Big Time. Both SCOTUS and Congress are doormats.

Bonehead Boehner and Lyian Paul Ryan must go. I call their offices weekly and tell them they will go the way of Eric Cantor in the next primary. These limp lizard phony RHINOS will see their day and it will not be pretty.

The Republicans and Democrats in Congress and the Senate are one and the same. Mississippi has Wicker and Cochran as Senators. Cochran is a DNC buyout as evidenced by his last election where the DNC helped him get elected. Look at Wicker's policy toward Puerto Rico and his conservative sell out. Congressmen from Mississippi are no better. They claim to be conservative but newly elected Kelly from MS-1 voted with Obama his first vote in Congress. Thompson is a communist liberal lapdog and proponent and is lockstep with the race baiters.

Remember when McConnell was running for reelection and claiming ‘elect us, we can lead this time, it won’t be like the Republican majority before, honest’.

Yeah, he is leading the Republicans right over the cliff — with every compromise he can toss to Obama.

Too bad there is not viable alternative to the progressive Democratic Party nor the progressive Republican Party. They are both moving in the same direction — just at different speeds.

Are the RINOs gutless or intentionally complicit in Obama’s unconstitutional lawlessness?

Flip a coin.

I have voted Republican all my life. Never again.

I voted for Deb Fisher for Senate from Nebraska. Mainly because she had Sarah Palin’s endorsement. She has been an extreme disappointment. Liberal as the day is long. Voting FOR tyranny.

Our country is gone. We have to face that now. We have to decide now:

a) go quietly into the gulag, knowing that our children will live in a Fascist state.

b) fight and probably die in the hopes that at least part of this country can restore a constitutional government.

When Napoleon took over in France, he took all of the Chamber of Deputies out and have them shot as traitors. Too bad we could not apply that to Donkeys and RINOs. It certainly would gain the attention of other wannabes in the Legislature. Then we clean out the Judiciary, Finally, the Executive branch.

... and too many “conservative” members of the Republican caucus voted earlier this year (following the “conservative mandate” election) to retain the current GOPE/RINO leaders.

It’s a corrupt system.
