It is, of course just this simple. We are watching the end of our republic. The methods to resist are plain and simple. Demand quorum counts. Filibuster everything. Shut them down. This doesn't require approval from rino leadership. A single senator with a spine of steel could do this. It's literally a fight for America. Our forefathers pledged their lives, fortunes and their sacred honors. What say you, Cruz, Paul, Rubio, Scott, Lee, Ect.? There are millions out here who want to see somebody fight like America depends on it, because it does. Filibuster while you can. Ask for us to rally. Lead! We will follow! When government becomes tyranny, resistance becomes duty!

[rktman]

Prolly not. Too busy wanting to punch out Tea party folks.

[SkyDancer]

Nope. They’re too cowardly. They’re afraid they’d be called racist or something. McCain will try to make Republicans be nice and just shut up.

[Viennacon]

If not, we can block anything they have in the House. Boehner can cry all her wants. We have enough clout among the caucus to prevent crap like ENDA coming up.

[Diogenesis]

It is all theater.

THE GOP supports ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE
BECAUSE THEY ARE EXEMPT.

I think the nuclear option is great news for us. And let’s double down on it when it’s our turn and include supreme court nominees.

This is good news for our side. Sooner or later we will get back the presidency and the Senate. Then step back, Folks.

[Steven Tyler]

I think that is what the Dems want.
0bama set the table by declaring the Senate is not working, and the Republicans are responsible.

0bama wants to run against a do nothing Senate, paint Republicans as the source of everyone’s pain

[bigbob]

uh...requires balls...so, no...

[lexington minuteman 1775]

The House can shut everything down. They should go into overdrive today! The House can suck the wind out of the dem sails. Why aren’t they holding hearings into every dirty dem deal, tying up the administration with appearances. They should call it operation Scooter!

Senate Republicans Can Retaliate. Will They?

No, they'll just ask to be concentration camp guards.

[JerseyanExile]

I’m actually wary of this - the Democrats are in meltdown right now - the last thing the Republicans should do is try something that will draw attention away, and let the Dems pull the “intransigent Republicans” card.

Very well said and true.

Mitch is Harry's _itch. PLEASE Support Free Republic Today! We're on the homestretch!! Less than $8.5k to GO!!

[HarleyD]

The best thing the Republicans can do at this point is not past raising the debt ceiling and then let the Democrats circumvent the law-again.

[Bulwinkle]

Flailing and swinging wildly does nothing.... Wait till the right time and jab a sharp stick in their eye.

[sickoflibs]

Obama made the calculation that the House wont be passing anything that he wants in this congress anyway, so might as well power grab.

The exception is a the budget and debt limit.

That works for me and I'm a Buddhist. What say you, GOP, got Christians?

[Farnsworth]

Senate Reps are spineless cowards.
