I’ve met Eric and he has been both hero and nero to the conservative cause and while I don’t understand his motivations I can only surmise two things. He and the top leadership who are mostly Romney supporters don’t want this fight to go on beyond Nov. Also I think they are planning to bait and switch conservatives in plain sight on this issue.
It is stupid and if they do this they will find out how short lived their terms will be. I hope it isn’t true but let us remember Cantor and Romney’s “We Surrender tour” after election 2008. One thing for certain we need to make sure neither ever become speaker of the House. We need individuals like Steve King who have clarity of conviction and are champions of liberty and the constitution not Machiavellian politicians which I am increasingly coming to believe Eric is. I hate it because he has been a champion. I don’t know what has changed him but Republicans need to learn that the only strategry that is going to win is one that speaks to the foundation of this nation. We don’t want to go back to George W Bush or George H Bush we want to go back to George Washington. We do not accept that 2000+ page bills that no one reads and soft tyranny are the future of this nation!
They seek a message and they have none better than that of our founders. I thought Boehner was waking up but the reality is a lot of these guys look at this as a game.
Good post...and I will add that these men don’t understand the enemy, don’t believe the socialists are their enemy, and don’t understand this war against us.
They don’t even know it is a war.
“We don’t want to go back to George W Bush or George H Bush we want to go back to George Washington.”
Terrific line!
We need to understand that legislative leadership is elected with massive campaign conrtributions from big interests that want the government running health care.
The big businesses in this country need to cut costs and what better way to do that than to pass health care benefits onto the government.
The big businesses in this country need cheaper labor to cut costs and what better way to do that than with labor from Mexico.
Are you getting the picture as to why big name GOP politicians want “comprehensive immigration reform” or want to “repeal and replace” Obamacare instead of eliminating it and bringing back a free market health care system.
The Republican Establishment up and down the East Coast is so eager to demonstrate their tribe isn’t backward that they need a candidate with certified brains, breeding or cultural refinement to get behind. Unfortunately, modern certifications thereof require a candidate to be what’s commonly termed a ‘RINO’—which means they sow the seeds of their own destruction every time they go out planting in the political field. You’ve got them well pegged.
