Meltdown! GOP bosses' phones unplugged
WND ^ | 9/29/13 | Garth Kant

Posted on 09/25/2013 6:32:41 PM PDT by blueyon

WASHINGTON — Following the epic, 21-hour speech by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, supporting the defunding of Obamacare, either voters made so many calls to establishment Republicans that their phone lines melted, or those GOP leaders took their phones off the hook.

Even in this age of digital wizardry and limitless voicemail, callers could not get through at all to Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

I know McCain and McConnells were as I tried calling but so were Democrat Tim Kaines because every time I called him today, the call dropped off! I had option 1 leave a voice message or #2 talk to someone in office I would push #2 and it would disconnect me

McCain and McConnell only answer the phone for al Qaeda
in Syria, and al Qaeda in America.

Real conservatives?
They hate them with a passion.

They were too busy calling me for a donation! I have Time Warner, and their names pop up on my TV. I never answer their calls. (I recognize the area codes.)

I know both my Senators, Hagan(D)and Burr(R) hate me. Will not listen to their constituents. Was told by Burr staffer that Burr thought defunding Obamacare was the dumbest idea ever.

The old codgers of the GOP have become soft, effeminate leftists.

We need to rid the party of these pantywaists and pray that we get more *Bravehearts* like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.

Moose season is over...let's get busy ;)

> My support for the GOP is unplugged.

They completely turned their backs on us. I’m pretty certain this was one of the most active 48 hour periods of political activism by people who clearly don’t want Obamacare and all the inherent hell its going to rain down on our nation. I wonder what all of the GOP traitors were promised to get them to completely ignore us?

MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H. J. Res. 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

What should happen: they realize how out of touch they are with their constituents and start fighting hard for us.

What will happen: WE realize that their first priority is a place at the country club trough and that we come in a distant last, and that they aren't going to fight for anyone but themselves.

What is yet to happen: the entire stinking lot of them go over the side in a grand Tea Party with the rest of the goods that have already been bought and sold by people who hold us in contempt. Revolution's on.

McCain should be asked to leave the party. He’s a loser.

If he’s dumped by the party, it would be more difficult for the mainstream media to pretend that he is the VOICE OF THE REPUBLICANS. if they took this assclown off the networks as the face of republicans, PEOPLE MIGHT VOTE REPUBLICAN.

The GOP is dead.

I'd say it's in grave condition, on life support, and the upcoming 0Socialism vote will be it's final death knell.

Sen Cruz, if nothing else, has effectively separated the wheat from the chaff.
