They'll cave. They always do. That's how we got here.

I'm not so sure.
If the MSM openly calls for their assassination or removal by fiat (snipers wanted), then I will be convinced they will not cave, but any reports of Plan B, C,.. X, Y or Z means a cave.
Thank you! Nothing like reading TRUTH - it adds to the day!
Just, wow.
So true, and that is why we need to be logical and stop crying, “I’m done with the Republicans”, every time the MSM say unnamed sources have said so and so, and such and such, is what republicans are doing and or said.
Yep, see you get hopeful, then when it does not happen,
you’re not surprised.
Then you just have to accept it.
MSM Lies
ALL The Time!!!
Great bumper sticker; hope to see it.
Even if the MSM says the sky is blue take it with a huge grain of salt. I say make sure the tea party-backed candidates who do get elected are always mindful of why they got their jobs in the first place.
welcome. I just got tired of all the “nattering nabobs of negativism”.
If the MSM said the sky is blue, I would point out that they are absolutely lying again. It's pink/orange at sunrise and sunset; grey during rain; and black at night.
Sadly that is what we and the New Tea Party republicans have to overcome
They'll cave. They always do. That's how we got here.
I think many of us did but you did something about it for yourself and me! It’s a major reminder - they LIE - that’s their assignment - so IGNORE them.
Oh gosh, that is funny right there!
And sadly, it’s true!
Exactly.
We need to fight smart. One aspect of that is making sure we are not lapping up disinformation.
Even some of our talk radio/teevee hosts need to ensure that they don’t believe first reports, verify, and find out what the facts are before opining.
Info moves very quickly now. It doesn’t hurt anything to take a few minutes or hours to, say, find out exactly what it is a lawmaker is proposing, etc. before ragging on it OR supporting it.
Exactly, all we do is help the left by repeating the lies of the MSM.
Actually, this is the very reality the LSM is working overdrive to try to counter.
They know politicians, and they know very well that the exact reason Republicans haven’t caved and are pushing back as hard as they are is because their base — the Tea Party movement — is holding them accountable.
That’s got even Tingles and David Gregory wailing that “the Tea Party has won.” Now, we don’t feel as though we’ve “won” — we’re just getting rolling! But what they are expressing is pure, unadultered DISBELIEF and HORROR that there’s a grassroots movement out there that’s POWERFUL enough to actually influence politicians in Congress!
That’s unheard of! I mean, a million of us marched on Washington against Obamacare and VeryBarry, Pelosi and Reid did it anyway. So, what did we do next? We elected a bunch of new people to go up there and stop the madness. And they know their jobs are on the line if we aren’t satisfied with their efforts.
This is no good. What about all those freepers who love to run around in circles, pointing in every direction and yelling “RINO!” between mutters of, “What’ll I do what’ll I do what’ll I do...”? How do you think you make them feel with your thread of cold water in the face? Huh? Well..?
We’ll have to see how this unfolds. And sometimes I think it’s okay to have all this jawflapping about the Republicans caving because it does have the effect of holding their feet to the fire.
At the same time, they need to know we have their back — their only power to stand up to this madness is what we give them with our support and votes.
Also, as the OP said, too much of this can be exploited by the LSM to make it look as though Barry has more power than he really does.
No, but, I know the history of the Republicans. Their reputation proceeds them.
