Says who? If you want to surrender to invaders, wimps and traitors, that's your choice. But, as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
No one is talking about you or me. The elected Republicans are who was being discussed. They have a 40 year track record to prove that they are much more comfortable "going along to get along." The longer they stay in D.C., the more they are willing to take the crumbs the Democrats toss them and the more they frustrate the newer members who ran to promote a conservative agenda. When they had power, they preferred to make compromises with the Democrats and try to appease them. All that got them was right back to where they started and where they are the most comfortable...in the minority where they will take what the Democrats give them and sit quietly while racking up the years toward their cushy pensions.
