“Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) lashed out at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) on Friday, saying House Republicans were tired of being abused by the Tea Party favorite”
Duffy, you lazy, ignorant waste of a congressional seat. You think you are being “abused” by Mike Lee and Ted Cruz pointing out that you and your buds, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, and Eric Cantor, were getting ready to stiff us again by passing a defund bill with great fanfare and then, under the radar, pass a provision to faciliate Dirty Harry to strip it out in the Senate and thereby defeat the defund bill with only 51 votes.
It’s real “abuse” to point out to the voters what you devious Big Government hacks are up to, isn’t it Duffy?
bump
He holds a seat held for decades by Democrat Obey. If you start throwing guys like this out of the party, you might just as well hand the keys to the Capitol to San Fran Nan.
I’m tired of being abused by our elected representatives.
For cripes sakes! First we have Boozman crying about being bullied by Cruz and now Duffy crying about being abused. They should be embarrassed. Once upon a time we had men in this country.
How about you get a grip.
I think that is the first time I have eve even thought about it.
Wait, what is your plan? ... support the GOP and what they are doing?
They don’t know abuse, yet. Just wait until next election time and they get kicked out the door.
Take it back and kick out the old GOP guard. It's been done before.
A third party would be death to any opposition to Democrats and America would certainly
become a Socialist state. So get a clue before opening your fat mouth about third party, Idiocy!
Let the Liberals start their third party and kill the Democrat brand.
I called Boozman’s off in DC, message was the number was disconnected.
Called the primary office in his state, and the aide told me the DC switch boards were over whelmed by the calls.
I asked Boozman to support the defuning of obamacare, his aide said that has always been his position.
Then I asked why the senator was claiming about hearing from his constituents, the aide said “have a nice day” and hung up
Sean, buddy, two words: You’re Fired.
Duffy...Doofus...Dork... Toughen-up, you freakin’ RINO! Just for the heck of it I’m going to find out who will run against your flaccid butt and send them some funds. Doofus, you are a LOSER!
For the last week or so Ive been working the phones/emailing, getting friends to join in...like a lot of you. Emotions are running HIGH..especially for myself. I think Id better take a deep breath...try to remember not all Republicans are enemies and keep my sights on the real targets.
Its been grueling for all of us. And I know Ive popped off over too many small things.
Which Senate Republicans, besides Lee and Cruz, have gone to the mat? They will be able to vote against cloture without cost, because the most they have been able to muster are a few words.
How many Senate RINO’s have been won over by Cruz’s strategy, which does indeed give one a sense of hope. But is it a real hope, or just a “feel-good” feeling?
Will the Senate RINO’s be any less craven after the cloture vote?
If they are not less craven, what good will it do for the House Republicans to repeat the process, risking losing the advantages that conservatives now enjoy in the House?
I may be wrong, but I don’t think that the House of Representatives can “make up for” anybody in the Senate. It’s not a balancing act.
It just seems to me that the right must push this just far enough to really blacken the eyes of the enemy. The RINOs have been outed in the public eye, as you say, as craven. That was the genius of Cruz’s filibuster.
But the votes are not there to actually win this battle. On the other hand, this “victory” of the cravens may come at an enormous cost, if things are allowed to play out. The key, in my opinion, is now to find the point of maximum damage to the opposition and go no further. The fruit could be realized in 2014.
“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.” - Sun Tzu
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is the republican way.
They should have just made sure it went into effect without waivers, exceptions, or delay so everyone gets equally screwed and can see what the Democrats have unleashed on them.
Oh, good lord.
The house is not the problem at the moment, it is the senate and the republicans there are going to support the funding of obamacare.
The take back of the GOP has been going on for decades and they have only gotten worse.
If they are not willing to stop obamacare, gut government spending, calling out obama and his unconstitutional actions....what good are they?
They is little to no opposition to the dems now, what are you talking “will happen”
You saw the few in the senate during Sen Cruz filibuster, what five maybe six people?
Johnnie took weeks to agree to defund obamacare.
I do not have a fat mouth, my mouth is beautiful.
As I said before, I think that was the first time I mentioned a third party, so I have not been talking about it, I mentioned it once.
If you are going to accuse me of something make damn sure its a real thing.
At this point it's perfectly clear you're a Democrat plant.
I see a ZOT in your future.
