More Republicans than RATs supporting this REID/OBAMA bill. Disgusting!

Primary is a verb.

RINO hunting season begins today.
At least it was posted for three days before voting... oh, wait a minute.
We’re screwed no matter what happens.
I have never been so disgusted! I could slap Boehner right across the face. I was afraid he would start blubbering before he brought the gavel down. Just waiting to see how my rep voted. If he voted for this, I will NEVER vote for him again.
Hey Duke, round up the gang from “Hatari”, we’re hunting RINO!

@RepPaulRyan Paul Ryan Passage of Budget Control Act marks another small, but significant step in the right direction: http://ow.ly/5SCYT
Anyone hear anything out of Sen. Raul Labrador? He promised a filibuster in the senate when this piece of trash reached the senate floor.
This is a fantastic bill. Spending cuts with no tax increases. Cuts to the Democrat’s favorite socialist programs. What Tea Party-er could disagree with that?
Congratulations to Boehner for a job well done. Now we elect a Republican President and Senate, then finish the job.
Lots of us thought we had some new Congressmen with spine and principle. No. We have a new crop of Republican weasels. What good is a vote when most of your new congressmen turn around and give you the finger as soon as they take their seats? They get rich in two years and lose their elections. The new guy so full of principle and promise sees that it is better to get rich and be popular for two years than to work for his constituents or the good of the nation. After two years, if h e loses his seat, he gets hired by the sponsors he fed with special legislation and stays rich. he doesn’t really need the congress job any more. If he instead holds to principle and demonstrates spine he doesn’t get rich. It is a matter of incentive and character. There is plenty of incentive and most people’s character is for sale, especially politicians.
Very disappointing
THANK you, Jim!!!
Well, well, well? What do we have here? Answer: A well deserved surprise for those who voted “straight line” for the Republicans year after year. Each time, being betrayed more and more.
A long time ago I was a staunch Republican but as time went by and each elected batch of “back-stabbing” cowards and narcissists were elected (more so than the preceding batch)I was told that I wasted my vote by voting for independents and only for individuals (not the party) deserving of my vote. They said that all that I did was to help the Marxist/communist Democratic party and I should have been ashamed of myself.
I would ask them if they were happy with the candidate they elected and many said “I held my nose and voted” because I didn’t want to waste my vote like you did.
Well, what goes around comes around and for many years all who thought that way got their just rewards today. The Republicans finally ended the life of the United States of America by going along to get along and to insure that the Democrats won through the poison of politics....COMPROMISE!
Many, like myself have voted only to lose a lot of political battles but not the war. Today, the “die hard” Republicans lost the war. I never thought I would live to see such a desecration of our heritage and freedoms.
Recently, I have posted a lot about this very thing that happened today. As I predicted it came true to my statements right down to the very words.
Now, we have only two options left to save our country. (1) an outright civil war and (2) to form and support a powerful third party that will become powerful enough to make the GOP simply go away.
If not, we all deserve what is coming to us...and it’s not going to be good.
Any conservative who thinks this deal was bad must have been climbing the walls in pain during the Bush era, when Republicans were doing the spending and passing the socialist programs. Like when Republican leader Tom DeLay said the Republican majority congress couldn’t cut spending because all the bad stuff had already been cut out of the budget. Or when Bush passed his Medicare drug bill and turned the nation’s schools over to the federal government with Ted Kennedy’s No Child Left Behind.
