These are the patriots to whom we owe our gratitude for continuing the fight. However, the 26 Senators and 87 House RINOs must be challenged, including leadership. The same goes for anyone who continues to talk disparagingly of conservatives. The battle may have been lost, but the war is far from over.
The Democrats are evil and easy to despise them all, but, with the exception of a handful, the Republicrats are contemptible.
It is time for a third party, realizing that it will be a ten-year struggle to achieve parity with the establishment.
There were certainly not 144 fighters in the House, I’m sorry to say. There were probably about 50, or at most, 60, with the rest being given passes by the leadership to protect their reputations within their districts.
Still, votes are often cast in such a way as to put House members on the spot, and when put on the spot, conservatives stood tall and squishes squished with the result being that the Hastert Rule was broken, and with it, any credibility the Speaker might have had left.
I’m more encouraged this morning than I was last night. The shutdown (and even the capitulation) was the best thing to happen to the GOP in decades. The battle lines are now drawn for the primary season and we have a much more clear idea of not only the work to be done, but exactly where it needs to be done.
My caution is that you can’t look at this vote out of context. While it is certainly true that the YES votes are sell-outs, that doesn’t mean that the NO votes aren’t.
NO. John Cornyn gets NO credit for this vote. MArco Rubio get NO credit for this vote. Cornyn's treachery came early in the Cruzing process. Rubio's betrayal came with the Gang of 8. Also Tom Coburn is retiring. So we are left with 16 "fighters".
Your miscount includes members of Team Romney
which has again left another “dagger” in the
back of the American People.
One more thing about these events: it has again shown the extent to which the administration will go to impose its will, and has further animated veterans, truckers, bikers (not to mention national park visitors and tour guides)
The focus should be on the state legislatures. Per Mark Levin, the Constitution must be restored by the PEOPLE. Article V. provides a solution.
The GOP no longer represents me. I will never, ever vote Republican again. I’m done.
I don’t know what to do, or who I am going to vote for. I am praying the TEA party will form a third party so I will again have someone that shares my values to vote for.
Time for the Huff Post DU Free Republic drama queens to get up off their lazy asses and doing something to make it happen. Of course they won't, they'll pine and whine about someone - not them - carrying the water to start a third party.
Obamacare is NOT about healthcare,
it IS about signing YOU up to the collective.
