Holy Smokes! Both Tennessee senators

Tennesseans are learning that both of our Senators are Rinos. Both are almost unbeatable because of their war chests.

I think it’s bigger than that, Chaplain. They could care less about the Bill of Rights. That means something to me and I know it means something to you too.

I often wish I could ask some of the congressmen how much it costs to buy them - most of them go pretty cheap, I imagine.

"Out of those 16 GOP Senators Alexander, Collins, Isackson and Wicker dined with Obama at the White House last night"

Why is it when I think of these Charm Dinners Obama is avidly hosting for various members of Congress I think of Judas dining with Christ at the Last Supper?

At least Judas, who pretended he was a Disciple but in reality was the arch traitor and betrayer of all time, later went out and hung himself.

Those Republicans who are wining and dining with Obama the anti-Christ pretend to be GOPers....but in reality they are traitors to the Party plus they are betrayers of those who elected them and betrayers of the Constitution and their country as a whole.

They are too cowardly to hang themselves. They'll just sit back, enjoy their cushy sinecures, their DC elite cocktail parties, their adulation and power....and privately laugh at us poor unsophisticated schlumps out here in Wonderland

See my #51 response to mrsmel

Not saying mooching with Obama changed their minds (or votes).

I am sure Obama routinely sent out invitations to mingle with Republicans. In fact, just last month, he dined with 12 different GOP Senators in a DC ritzy restaurant.

Can you think of any other time Obama so jovial, so 'generous' with 'the enemy'?

I just emailed Ayotte and told her how disappointed I was to realize that the entire NH Congressional Team is RAT.

I also asked her in what form of currancy the president paid her her 30 pieces of silver.

New Hampshire is now lost. There are no longer any viable conservative candidates. We are now Northern Mass.

Disgusting traitors. I've had it with just about all of them, too. You couldn't have stated my sentiments better, Gator...

I am sick of the lies, the corruption, the theater, the treason, the destruction of our way of life, the daily push and attempts to keep us on edge, crisis after crisis - even when none exists.... I am sick of all of it.

I am sick of ALL of it!!

I am too. I am watching my beloved America flushed down the liberal/socialist toilet and am helpless to do one damn thing!

Until election time...and then I’m not sure conservatives will
have a say this time either. :(

“Flake is starting to show just the beginnings of becoming a John McCain Republican.”

I don’t know where you’ve been, but Flake has been a John McCain clone for years.

***At least Judas, who pretended he was a Disciple but in reality was the arch traitor and betrayer of all time, later went out and hung himself***

But Judas didn't stand to have a lifetime benefit of health care and retirement at full pay plus ???? Nor were a bunch of Stalinists threatening him with mayhem [purge?]...

You know, the more time that passes, the more one suspects that the GOP is not the old party anymore... it is totally infiltrated by Marxists who try to convince us it is all a football game, and if our side wins that is all that matters -- not what we win.
