Lots of FReepers, including me, routinely make statements about being fed up with the GOP. They're DU trolls too?
you dump the only party that has one iota of sense because only MOST of them fought this bill off, and 8 voted for....
That's still 8 too many. Republicans are supposed to be for limited government and free market economics, remember? 8 Republicans voted for it knowing the consequences and destruction it will do to our economy and quality of life, why are they even Republicans?
this bill was going to pass and everyone knows it
No it wouldn't have had the "Gang of 8" remembered what they supposed to stand for.
the Rats who voted no...like Minnick in Idaho...are covering their ass and not paying for it...if the rats needed other rats votes, they would have gotten it.
You just don't understand how the game is played. It doesn't matter how the Rats vote. When it comes to election time, they'll demonize the Republican for being in favor of pollution and the Republican will sit there like a bump on the log and the Dem will win. Or, if they voted no, they'll trumpet that and have an issue over the Republicans. Face it, Republicans suck at playing politics which explains their comatose situation.
SURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A UNITIED FRONT BUT STOP DISSING IN GENERAL THE ONLY GROUP TRYING TO PREVENT THIS FARCE...THE PUBS...
Where was Michael Steele & the RNC? Where were the commercials educating the people on Cap and Tax?
BLAME GOES TO THE RATS AND BAMA...PERIOD...
Nope, blame goes to the Stupid Party for not fighting this like they should.
AND BLAME GOES TO ALL YOU THIRD PARTY VOTERS AND "I'M SO IMPORTANT" VOTERS THAT GAVE KEY SEATS TO MORE RATS.
Where did the poster mention anything about a 3rd party? He/she is frustrated with the GOP and I and many other FReepers concur. Nice strawman argument though.
Yes, blame the entire Republican party for a bill created by and passed with a overwhelming Democrat majority. Smart, I see your point??? What we need is more Democrats in office. Hummmm, I guess I do see the extremist part.
I am serious about the idea of starting our own party. Its time for us to leave the GOP. It is part of the problem.
