Just because they act like they have a majority in name only doesn’t mean they do. Oh, surely they are in the minority of the house-senate-president troika. But then they don’t have a majority in name, either.
Lots of interesting posts on this thread and a lot of anger and frustration being expressed.
Here’s where we are today: We are now the America that Ayn Rand described in her book “Atlas Shrugged”. We have a corrupt, bloated government, union thugs, anti-business environment and phony environmentalism claims as the foundation for usurping our rights and freedoms. So far, the only thing missing is Galt’s Gulch.
The Congress is and will remain stalemated, unable to accomplish any of the people’s business. Obama will continue to ignore and circumvent the Congress to obtain his goals of destroying America.
The rule of law is dead and the Constitution has been shredded. We have a totalitarian, radical, communist Muslim occupying the WH pretending to be a natural-born citizen and patriotic American.
We are at the point at which restoring America to the land the Founders created by going to the ballot box is impossible. The system is rigged to keep incumbents in place and, increasingly, it is rigged to eliminate the second political party (Republicans). What the Republicans aren’t doing to eliminate themselves through weak leadership and outright cowardice, they are helping the Democrats eliminate them.
If there is going to be any substantive change to salvage what was once the greatest nation on earth, we must act soon before we are all relegated to “re-education camps”. There are only two options available to us - 1) outright revolt to retake America and reset the Constitution to what the Founders gave us or 2) the red states must secede and re-establish the original Constitution as the rule of law. There are no other options.
We cannot fix America via the ballot box because the left finally perfected their election fraud techniques in the last election to return the Kenyan, Muslim-in-Chief to the WH.
I don’t say these things easily or carelessly. I say them because they are the only options available for freedom-loving people to salvage the remnants of their country.
“Minority posture”. I guess that is what they call it inside the beltway. In some areas it is called “stump broke”.
More proof that if you are still voting GOP...you are voting Liberal
The GOP House will cave on taxes, the budget, and amnesty. They have the majority, and are willing to surrender to the Dems
Time to clean out the GOP in 14
The GOPe: A minority even when they’re in the majority.
I became convinced awhile ago that these people wouldn’t restore the country to its principled basis even if you gave them 100% of the seats.
I could picture the Democrats being where the Republicans are right now in DC.
They’d be fighting everything like militant lunatics. The Republicans just roll over and die.
This party isn’t worth a sh**.
Not our boys, though. Roll over and play dead.
Yeah, they were guilty of passing grandstanding bills that got and got them nowhere last term.
But the also approved gobs of spending that they didn’t need to.
All they really need to do this term is not approve or pass bills to spend what our federal government shouldn’t be spending and they’ll be heroes.
Retreat is a good term for this collective group of gutless, spineless, clueless elitist RINOs run by Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell.
These a**holes couldn't lead a gaggle of perverts through an Oriental cat house with a fistful of $1,000 bills.
Jeez...what happened to Ryan...he sounds like a complete loser now. The House of Representatives can wield tremendous power Constitutionally, but these current bunch of spineless GOP-E wonders (including Ryan) have absolutely NO will to do it.
Joe Cannon is spinning in his grave!
They only have “a majority in name only” because they are cowards.
Go back and look at the crap the House, under Dems, did when Reagan was president and the GOP had the Senate. They had balls.
But of course, Bob Dole would give it all away...what a douche.
