I agree!
(NEVER FORGET what “our side” did with their lame-duck Congress..WP report on the 2006 GOP Lame-duck Congress)
Congress will convene on Tuesday for what some fear will be the lamest of lame-duck sessions, and GOP leaders have decided to take a minimalist approach before turning over the reins of power to the Democrats. Rather than a final surge of legislative activity, Congress will probably wrap up things after a single, short week of work. They have even decided to punt decisions on annual government spending measures to the Democrats next year.
“There is a lot of battle fatigue among members, probably on both sides of the aisle,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), usually a reliable conservative firebrand. “Contrary to popular belief, members of Congress are human beings. They have a certain shelf life and a certain amount of energy to be drawn on. We’re tired.”
Anguished over the Democrats’ victory on Nov. 7 and the tumult that has followed, GOP lawmakers want to get out of town. One senior Senate Republican aide called hopes for substantive legislation “delusional.”
We are all screwed because stupidity has infected all politicians. I don’t know what God they worship, but I have a good idea. Satan has a firm hold on our government, and in the words of Glen Beck, “God help us.” We are beyond the point of stopping this drive to socialism and a one world government. Only a mass return to God will stop it, and I doubt that will happen. The end game is upon us friends. 2012 will be the end of the world as we know it. America has terminal cancer and it’s name is apathy and complacency. It’s killed every great nation since the beginning of time.
It’s not just the GOP....don’t forget, Scott Brown was also the Tea Party Express endorsed candidate.
That was a deception and a mistake. and im sure the Tea Party Express would tell you that.
When you walk into that voting booth and vote for somebody you need to ask yourself a question. Is this the person I want representing me ?
I used to be in your camp but the last 2 years have been educational for a young guy like me. For instance, right now im sure there are CONSERVATIVES in Maine who voted for Collins and Snowe. That would make me want to throw up in its little soul mouth.
I never dreamed I would say that. But sometimes a no vote in certain races or a 3rd party vote is the right thing for conservatism. Force their hand. make them give us conservative canadidates. It is a matter of principle.
And also keep in mind that the modern Democratic party will always overreach and self destruct. They have no idea how to govern.
When they implode as they did in November. We need to have conservatives there to pick up the ball, not RINOs.
LOL!!!!!
They've been running circles around us and kicking our asses for decades, son.
Yeah, they over-reach from time to time and get slapped down for it. And then they always make a come-back, much sooner than you expect.
Why? Because Republicans, and conservatives in particular, are lazy and naive about politics. And, by contrast, liberals are savvy about politics, and patient, and willing to take their victories in small bites.
Plus which, they know that the key to victory lies in controlling the process and going to the meetings and defining the agenda; whereas we conservatives tend to notice things late, and then mostly shout and foam at the mouth.
I know you mean well, but you're seriously naive about the nature of our opponents. They're very smart, and very well-organized, which is why their agenda keeps getting advanced and ours does not.
And stop that whining about RINOs. RINO is a meaningless epithet in any case, and it's really just an excuse to shift the blame away from where it belongs.
