House GOP leaders have decided to drop an Arctic oil drilling proposal from a budget bill.
Slimy Republican is as Slimy Republican does...
I suspect that any one of us Freepers could list the names from memory. We know who the RINO's are.
Now it is time for our President to live up to the job as our Champion and LEAD!

Wussies!!! Probably lead by that weenie Chris Shays.
I think we've been a little hard on the Pres., just look at the idiots he has to work with.
I don't think its an issue with the cost of the Arctic drilling proposal. The proposal to drill was put in the budget proposal in order to make it filibuster proof, since you can't filibuster the budget. Drilling will be done by private industry, not the government.
what the fl newspapers are reporting is they got a lttle greedy trying to drill in the fl gulf and not just stick to the artic thats why it was scuttled
The party can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned.
this is the price we all pay because the white house does such a piss poor job of communication
the leftist press holds all the hilltops and the barrage of lies rains down on all our heads
and the white house says nothing
and the white house does nothing
so what's a scum-bag RINO to do, argue with the leftists all by himself?
It should have been part of the energy bill and the two items stressed in the grilling of oil execs was access and regulation reforms. Couldn't Bush sign an executive order?
That's at least part of it.
"The GOP is DEFINITELY going to hell in a Marxist handbasket."
I agree as well. Most of them are about as useless as the Democraps in the house. I think they prefer to follow, not lead. I think the revolution of 1994 has totally sputtered out.
No, we were speaking of the House and Senate combined - Additionally in plenty of Blue States the DEM's have the overall congressional delegates coming from those States -
Furthermore on the whole great progress has been made since GWB has been in office. He has moved America and the World in the right direction. This has been greatly helped because the GOP (RHINO's and all) are in control of both chambers.
Lastly, I think it is somewhat foolish (at times) for the base to get so overblown upset at the GOP leadership about RHINO's who come from States that GWB couldn't even carry!.
If someone like GWB (one of the most popular Republicans ever with the base...in terms of support) can't get enough votes to carry States like WI, NJ, WA, OR, VT, MA, MI, IL, etc, etc - How do we expect a lesser type true conservative to win an election in those said States?? - We can't, and therefore at times we have to swallow hard and take the RHINO that will at least conference with the GOP majority.
Where we can put more pressure on these RHINO's we most certainly should. I am in full agreement here. But we can't simply scream and yell that the GOP is awful, etc, etc because in reality it is the BASE in these Blue States that can't get a true conservative / non-RHINO elected.
Regards,
Absolute intellectual hogwash (with all due respect) - For way too many reasons to list - And plenty of others on here, myself included have already listed the great number of true accomplishments that have taken place over the last 5 years.
At the current time I do not have the time to re-list all of them - But your notion that having the GOP in control has not been worth it so far, that having GWB in office has not been worth it so far is utterly wrong.
"What the hell did we work so hard for in 2000/2004... THIS?!"
My thoughts exactly.
Its worth it in that the dems are a lot worse.
Our Founding Father's provided us with a framework on which to construct an outstanding government and build the greatest nation ever to exist on this planet.
These rinos, socialists and UN - globalist types are truly termites who gain sustenance from the destruction of that framework.
It's time to tent the house in order to save it.
