I’m sure the collectivist, Establishment Pubbies said the same thing about Reagan, too.

The GOP will not be happy until ObamaCARE does for
America what RomneyCARE did for Massachusetts.

Fewer docs, much longer waits, more illegals,
and much higher rates.

Well, there you go.
Apparently, the house Republicans do not realize Cruz is in the senate.

Many GOP lawmakers share that frustration privately and several have gone so far as to call their party “leaderless.”

Well, they got that right but for the wrong reason.

“Here we are complaining about a president who can’t lead [on Syria], who leads us into this morass and we’re doing the same things to ourselves on ObamaCare, on the debt ceiling,” one conservative complained.

Why am I thinking this is no "conservative"?

That balances out the rest of the country. Decent Americans are irritated that Cruz can’t get Boehner to shut up and sit down.

Awww, sorry guys, we’ve been infiltrating the party since the Gingrich revolution and that’s just accelerated with the Tea Party, and we aren’t stopping till we take over. Sorry if you don’t think that’s fair but you had your shot and ya blew it.

All of us elected our house reps. and senators to do a job. That job did not include taking orders from some Republican in the House or Senate. It appears when someone is elected, no matter what they stood for during their election process, they go to Washington and have to do whatever their “leader” says do.

A pox on that. Since that is the case, I'd be in trouble the first day because I would represent the people who sent me and ignore Boehner and McConnell. Guess I wouldn't get any committee assignments - at least I could live with myself.

“Republican lawmakers” and staffers “speaking on condition of anonymity”

Ah, ha....no "Named Sources" = meaningless drivel.

Hi 2ndDV, I hope you are well. I’m glad you posted this. Thank you for your always timely, and interesting posts; especially the recurring one on the value of a handgun.

I emailed my Representative (James Lankford) a month ago, shortly before the recess. He is Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee. He is the most junior in Republican leadership. I asked, in my email, what I thought would result in a straightforward answer. It got no direct answer. My simple question was, “can I count on your support in not approving a CR that funds the Affordable Care Act (obamacare)?” He sent me a lengthy list of all the repeal bills he supported. He did not answer the question. I let him know that I would not be supporting him, financially or with my vote in 2014. He knows that I maxed out with contributions to our AG and Lt. Gov. He is a charlatan.

BTW, his undergrad degree was from UT Austin.

Again, thank you for posting this.

I kind of like the way that the Republican “leadership” is losing control of the rank and file. Since earmarks were taken away from the porkmeisters, committee positions don’t seem to mean that much meaning that the leadership has that much less of a carrot & stick to cajole their membership with.

I want the names of these turncoats!

Cruz is the leader of the party now, deal with it, RINOS. Bohner can cower in fear until retirement.

Time for Boehner to give a stirring speech clearly stating his attitude and aims.

Even though large tracts of America has fallen or may fall into the grip of the Democratic Party and all the odious apparatus of socialist rule, we shall flag and fail. We shall not go on to the end. We shall not fight in DC, we shall not fight on the seas and oceans.... We shall surrender on the beaches, we shall surrender on the landing grounds, we shall surrender in the fields and in the streets, we shall surrender in the hills; we shall always surrender.
