“Grover Nordquist and Darrel Issa both think it is good so I am going to listen to them”
Well, gosh, if I had only known I could check my own brain in at the door and zombie my way to the ballot box with their recommendations in hand I could have saved myself a lot of brain damage doing my own thinking.
I changed my voter registration from Republican to “decline to state” back when George H W Bush started getting rolled by the Dems about taxes (and pretty much everything else). Would only consider becoming a Republican again to vote for Palin in the primary. Will re-dump my Repub registration if a RINO gets the nod.
You totally misunderstand. You assume they could do something that they were powerless to accomplish
You are just plain wrong
There aren’t any new taxes in the bill, but whatever.
Reason seems to have escaped FR tonight.
Insanity.
"'It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,' a United States major said today." - Peter Arnett reporting for the AP on Ben Tre, Vietnam, back in 1968.
That's YOUR logic in a nutshell: destroy it to save it.
“The Tea Party congressmen tried very hard, but they are still a minority, even in the Republican party.”
Worth repeating. Overall the Tea Party was a success in this clown parade. They at least, on whole, stuck to the ideas they were elected to uphold. Allen West caved.
I don’t think you’re a RINO, I think you are a full fledged DEMOCRAT.
Let the bedwetting begin.
West is a coward. I’m ashamed to even call him a fellow Floridian.
“West, Ryan, Cantor and every other conservative is now a Rino according to this site. What a pathetic joke.
I know, only saint Sarah can save the world. Well, then she ought to get into the race.”
Has Sarah said anything about the vote yet? I notice that Bachmann voted no...but that doesn’t make her a Sarah Palin to Palinistas. I AM NOT bad mouthing Sarah...just her over the top admires...Sarah is OK but they are a little annoying at times.
“This wasn’t just any vote. This was vote to finally say NO to out of control spending.”
Exactly. If they couldn’t vote no to out of control spending this time, they never will.
Some voted no when they knew the bill would safely pass and they could take advantage of a no vote for personal political gain,
THOSE people are the most disgusting and biggest cowards.
Need a pipe?
That statement crystallizes the absolute core of this entire theater.
Few politicians truly understand what is happening economically.
Few understand that we are at no risk of “default.”
The GOP has NO idea how to engage in political warfare.
OBAMMIE AND HIS COMMIES created this “crisis” to force another wedge in the GOP, to separate the true TEA party representatives from the GOP; to create ad campaigns in 2012 pointing to how the GOP supported the tax increases, how the TEA party betrayed the voters; and how, if it all fails before then, it was the GOPs fault for cutting spending and not giving the Dims more spending.
Can the GOP really be so blind as to not be able to see how this was all for POLITICAL ADVANTAGE??
They should have refused to the bitter end and forced the government to abide by the Constitution.
Dennis Kucinich voted against this bill. Perhaps you should vote for him?
It’s nights like these that make me embarrassed to be a FReeper.
The overwrought emotion, the vanities, and the flat-out ignorance of those bashing Allen West disgusts me.
Have ya noticed how getting rid of Obamacare is not a big deal for the GOP leaders anymore ??????
##
I’ve said all along that they don’t want to get rid of it before 2012. They want to use it as an issue in the election. They think we are stupid enough to believe they really tried to get rid of it but couldn’t do it because they need more Republicans.
West is out, done, finished. He will not get Republican support and a Demonrat will win his seat. Mark my words.
