Hear! Hear! I've been saying all along we need a conservative party that's named "The Conservative Party." There are tens of millions that are "Conservative" at heart but they belong to various other parties or are inactive because they refuse to enable and endorse the behavior of the demoncrap party's little brother... The republican party. We need to get our Conservative legislators OUT of the republican party. I believe the millions of Conservatives that have become disenchanted with the jerks in Washington will join such a party and help to eradicate the absolute craziness and stupidity that has infected our nation's capital.

Of course this is my opinion but founded in hope. God says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Never in the history of man has there been a "Christian" nation until the United States of America was founded on Christian principles. Never in the history of man has any group of people been called by Christ's name until Jesus Christ rose from the dead and reconciled us back to God and made all us believers members of His body. We, Christians, are the Body of Christ. NEVER, in the history of man has the above scripture been more pertinent than it is today.

Will the good people of this nation repent and throw out the devil's minions in Washington via the Constitutional tools afforded us by God and our founding fathers or will we sit by and let the antichrist's agenda continue to march forward unimpeded? Ted Cruz proved that one man is not enough to turn the tide. We must all stand up and hold accountable those that have lied to and betrayed us, their bosses... their constituents.

Yes we did, with the help of Shelby and Sessions. I think secession is next, along with a general strike against paying Fed. income tax. We have to destroy this federal government in it’s present form. Texas will lead the way in secession, and the Southern States will follow. You want to tax me Obama, stick it!

Yep. The majority of Republican politicians have turned the Party into a mini-me of the Dems.

Flake backed out?! Utter piece of crap!

Two Republican senators abstained from voting:

Flake - They don't call him Flake for nothing
Hatch

They didn't even vote! Like 0bama, they voted 'present'. Crap, indeed.

This is an email I got from my Senator. This is how they fool the public but when it comes to having the balls to walk the walk they cave. Cochran did the same thing too.

Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for defunding and repealing the President’s health-care law. I am glad to have the benefit of your views on this issue, and I agree that this massive government overhaul of health care in America should be fully repealed.

The President’s health-care law greatly increases the government’s role in our health-care system, fails to lower costs, and raises taxes and premiums. The tax increases in this law will cost the American public more than $675 billion over the next ten years. Skyrocketing premiums and co-payments will limit access to doctors for too many Mississippians. I support lower premiums and patients’ freedom to choose their providers. I believe in workable solutions that empower patients – not unelected bureaucrats – in their health-care decisions.

Already in the 113th Congress, I have joined my colleagues in introducing numerous bills to repeal or defund all or part of the President’s health-care law. I am a co-sponsor of Senator Ted Cruz’s bill to prohibit funding for this detrimental law. As a member of the Senate Budget Committee, I offered an amendment during the consideration of the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget that would have defunded the President’s health-care law and prevented $1.8 trillion in new spending for its implementation.

My repeal amendment, which was blocked by Senate Democrats, would have prohibited the use of taxpayer dollars to implement the 2,700-page law and its 19,000 pages of regulations. These countless rules, mandates and taxes will slow the economy and grow the government, stifling job creation and adding uncertainty to an already fragile economy.

Be assured I will continue to work in Congress to defund and repeal the President’s harmful health-care law in its entirety and replace it with meaningful solutions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever assist you.

With best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Roger F. Wicker
U.S. Senate”

This picture makes me sick to my stomach. Right before it was taken they all went and got expensive haircuts. Right after it was taken they all went and got a drink together.

Good for you but they will keep mailing and calling to beg for your donation.
We are just a vote and a check. Nothing more. With a few exceptions, they do not represent me.

This is what you get after you submit the contact form, along with a donation request:

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is leading the charge in taking back the Senate and putting the reins on an out of control Washington. With 51 Republicans in the Senate we can halt government growth, repeal Obamacare, and get the economy moving again!

You are not a chump.

Those that voted “aye”-—they are the chumps—they knew they were deceivers.

We believed in America as God created her, in the truth, in right.

You can never be wrong believing that.

Thanks for that list. It’s nice to see my senator, Pat Toomey, get something right for a change.
The rest of the Republican senators are cowards. Despicable cowards.

He understands that. That's part of the reasons he put himself in this situation. However, he also understands that in the US system of government, there are procedures that have to be followed, and Obamacare 'passed' the hurdles. First when John Roberts decided it was tax and hence constitutional as long as Congress approves it, and second when the majority of his fellow senators (and perhaps, the Congress) decided to side with Obama.

You may not like it, but if the Scotus already decided that Obamacare is constitutional, where else can one appeal to? The way it is now, only Congress can repeal it.
