Chuck Wooten, a military veteran, was already ticked off about Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) pushing through the “bipartisan” budget deal, which includes cuts to veterans’ retirement benefits. So when he got a fundraising email from Ryan’s office asking for money, he decided to really let the Wisconsin congressman know how he feels.The scathing open letter, posted on Facebook last week, is going viral — and you only have to read the first few sentences to know why.

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This deal cancels the Sequester cuts and grows the deficit by 800 billion this year... 1.14 Trillion in 2015 and 1.2 Trillion in 2016. Some budget... FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR THE USS KARL MARX!
Oh... and obama gave all federal employees a raise and ryan cuts Military benefits... and some here think that is acceptable!
“It is a strategy to cause no harm until 2014 elections.”
Too bad he just lost conservatives ANY military votes that may have been counted. On the other hand, the democrats just may let military votes count in 2014.

Most of the Republicans in Congress are sellout punks.
If you believe the military people will put their faith in prez Zero and Hillary and their cohorts, you are having a very bad dream.
Show me a party which can win elections and is more conservative than the republicans, and I will jump in with both feet.
But if anything I have learned in seven decades is that never cut your ears off to spite your face. I follow coach Lombardi’s dictum, winning is not everything, it is the only thing. I do not throw out the good over the pure.
Please read my post #27.
You are right on. But how do we get there in 2014, the first national election? Wishful thinking will not get us there. Show me a realistic and practically possible alternative and I will join your brigade.
Case in point....Obamacare. Other case in point...RINOs refuse to take the hint that constitutional conservatives are never going to buy in to the invasion of the US being legalized.
That 2 Trillion dollars in additional debt comes AFTER many future elections, many new congresses, and new presidents.
As you must be well aware, every law passed can be changed if you own the White House or veto proof congress. Neither of that is in the hands of GOP in 2013.
So IMHO Ryan did the best deal which was possible. I like that there will no issues to derail the GOP until 2014 election. I also like that the unemployment benefit time limit has been brought back to historical level.
Oh puleez, if dems take control again with Pelosi, Zero, Hillary, Reid in full control, I am moving to Australia or New Zealand.
Hint...GWB even when he had control of everything got the ball rolling for Obama.
I am no longer a republican and I will never again fall for your argument. They (their leadership and behind the scenes controllers) hate me and all voters like me. We must purge the party of these traitorous corporatist/statist socialists or we will go our separate way and your party will never win another national election.

Are you aware of the nascent Article V state amendment convention movement, the constitutional end run around our masters?
I see nothing wrong with your thoughts of replacing liberal republicans in primaries. I do exactly the same when given the opportunity.
Then in general, I usually hold my nose and vote against the even much more liberal democrat who will be nothing but a rubber stamp for the community organizer from south side of Chicago.
So how is it better for achieving freedom when some voters stayed home and thereby helped the community organizer from south side of Chicago win re-election?
Obamacare has reduced my freedoms more than any legislation in many decades. My premiums jumped $1800 per year which will all come out of my discretionary spending. That increase is far greater than anything in last 40 years.
GWB was a big disappointment. I am looking forward to a Ted Cruz, Rand Paul or Mike Lee type president who will not go along to get along.
Ouch... I understand your dilemma.
Again, let me emphasize my point...voting for 3rd party at the present time will change NOTHING, ZERO, NADA.
Just ask Perot and all the other 3rd party losers what power they have to change anything.
Our system is based on winning elections. When you lose elections, you have no power to change any laws. Just ask Akin, Mourdock, Buck, O’Donnell, Angle etc what laws have they changed to increase our freedoms.
Follow coach Lombardi...winning is the ONLY thing.
