"Frustrated conservatives should aim their fury at the real culprit -- the 45 Democratic senators who have the means and motive to block most conservative initiatives."
Not to mention the RINO turncoats like McCain and Hagel!
This article lists so many accomplishments of the past 5 years, and speaks candidly about the reality of a need for a 60 seat majority in the Senate. Andres praises the House for the many initiatives that they have passed.
Remember my axiom: Look for what is NOT being reported. What drive-by media ignore is where the important news is located. The many conservative bills passed through the House is one more example of this truth.
This is a lame but standard excuse among Republicans (and we have several extremely noisy and annoying exponents of that excuse right here on FR).
Here's my advice to Bill Frist and the other transparently spineless Republiucan leaders on Capitol Hill.
Make the Rats filibuster every time they threaten to do so. That doesn't mean back off, it doesn't mean stand down, it doesn't mean "negotiate."
It means to let Reid, Kennedy, Feingold, and Feinstein spend their hours, days, and even weeks doing nothing for their constiutents while exposing in full public view the reprehensible values they stand for. Make them defend immigration amnesty, a decaying Social Security system, their plans for Iraq and the war against global jihad. Make them stand before the American people and explain themselves.
This place is turning into "Republicans Gone Wild.com"
I do think that thanks to the tireless efforts of people like Sessions the immigration issue with have an "acceptable to most" resolution.
I am one of those discontented conservatives and I have to say that there are most definately some republicans who "get it" they are working tirelessly on our behalf and I think it would be a mistake to pull the rug out from under them because a few rotten apples keep gumming up the works. The answer is MORE republicans being elected not less.
We're about 20-25 seats away from a solid conservative majority in the house. This is "doable."
My communist congresscritter has gone over the edge and is now representing illegal aliens and Marxists in the California Sierra Club. This is the year we throw him out.
The Iranian regime (and its agents) use a technique of distraction in order to pull people away from the real story or situation.
The dems (and msm) are using this technique too. And the republicans are falling for it.
All of the hearings and investigations are pulling peoples' attention away from the accomplshments made and are also stalling and preventing more accomplishments from being made.
The republicans in congress and senate need to say "no" to all these distractions and get on with their business.
What it all shows is that you can't fool conservatives, like you an liberals.
I couldn't care less if the Republicans lose everything this fall as long as the Democrats don't win anything either.
Candidates could be signators to the Agenda or not as they like. Rather like 'The Pledge' here in New England against any tax-raising, administered by CLT (Citizens for Limited Taxation).
Agenda to perhaps include: End illegal immigration; End racial and gender preferences in law; Oppose Predatory Trade with an Adjustable National Tariff/Import Tax; Increase the Standard Deduction for Federal Income tax; Build 3 to 5 Oil Refineries to reduce gas prices; Build 3 to 5 Natural Energy electricity production facilities; Support Traditional definition of Marriage; End ear-mark tack-ons to appropriation bills; Reduce Federal spending by .5% per year;...
Something like that.
BTTT
Peggy is already on Prozac, I'm thinking.
Maybe not so coincidentally, Prozac is linked to suicides.
[Frustrated conservatives should aim their fury at the real culprit -- the 45 Democratic senators who have the means and motive to block most conservative initiatives.]
Come on, Senate Republicans should have rolled over these guys. The real problem is the rinos on our side, we already have the majority.
Right on.
