“But I don’t view the government shutdown as a failure.”

The vets dragging the Barrycades to the White Hut was proof that it wasn’t a failure. A few more weeks of 0’s unmasked hatred for Americans would brought all the patriots to a boil.

Your opinion and your opinion ALONE.

We are NOT a small minority and I REJECT this thinking outside of the box nonsense.

I don't know about that we have a young generation of pigs getting pregnant without any consequences it is spreading like wildfire. It is very hard to raise girls today. Seems my generation did not do a good job.

Oh, so I should shut up because I have less time in service than you (a whopping three and a half years); please elucidate how that makes my comment on you less valid.

No, your critics (that “small group of sad kids”) don’t hate your guts. We just think that you are not very intelligent. For example, anyone who would proclaim that he became a dad at age 65 could not have much on the ball.

And lastly, this comment, which reinforces the last one: “there is no way that I could live there on my small social security (sic).” Couldn’t make a lot of money or do much in the way of planning, I see.

Amash/Conyers bill. Conservatives can't be expected to vote for a bill introduced by Conyers.

You keep leaving Conyers off when you mention that bill. Amash doesn't on his official website.

Depends on the box. We do need to grow and sell our brand but that doesn’t have to mean pandering or selling out. Its what inspired me to start making trips to Detroit and talk about real conservatism and the freedom that is the natural result. Its also a chance to show people that conservatives aren’t what democrats claim we are.

Oh, I made enough money to retire and start visiting the world, living for some years in central Europe before moving to the Philippines. I am sorry if you have to still slave away in the Obamination and endure the pain, but if you work hard, you may also have the happy life that I have :)
I am off to bed. Go wallow in your OWN misery.

I expect and require conservatives to vote for pro-Constitution bills no matter who introduces them.

Failing to mention that it's also Conyers bill is dishonest.

"The question is moot since conservatives don’t bother to vote. 4 million stayed home in Nov. 2012."

Why should they? Last night made it clear that it just doesn't matter. When the choice is between a liberal Dem and a liberal Republican why bother?

I try to avoid clouding the issue with irrelevancies.

The system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out.

The crux of the problem for conservatives.

Because the numbers matter, and control of the committees and floor give those conservatives, that are in place, a fighting chance to win policy battles.

Otherwise those non-voting "conservatives" are just more LIVs.

We already know what Republicans in power do. Consider the Bush administration. It was better than the joke that now passes for the executive branch, but the Bush administration was hardly conservative by any measure. Republicans had their chance, and they increased government...a lot.

BTW, I thought Speaker Boehner didn’t have a spine. I was wrong. It’s now clear he isn’t afraid to stand up...against conservatives. It’s also clear that there’s only one party in D.C., and it’s made up of many Republicans and all Democrats. Only a (small) minority of Republicans actually seems to want to reign in the federal beast.

It's not irrelevent. It strikes to the heart of the issue. A bill introduced by a socialist, to help achieve his socialist goals, and you damn conservatives for not voting for the bill introduced by the socialist.

Conyers and his ilk have a phrase for people like you: "Useful idiots". You play into his socialist hands and lie and obfuscate to try to sell your position.

Libertarian is one thing, stupid socialist puppet is another.
