What Would The GOP Do With A House-Senate Majority In 2015?
Townhall ^

Everything begins with leadership. That's why Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam took out the ax yesterday. He wants to win. He wasn't winning. He wasn't going to win. So he changed up the leadership.

First up would be amnesty, then tax reform euphemistically referred to as “closing the loopholes” which is GOP speak for screwing the middle class while not cutting the size of govt by a penney.

After a year or so with control of both houses some stalwart republicans will start to wonder why the EPA is still running rampant and the TSA is still sticking their hands down our pants.

Have no illusions the GOP will do nothing to restore the Constitutional Republic.

Tough call. Was it agitprop or a true call to arms?

I'm torn on this one...

I'm still stymied by Hewitt's praise for McConnell on the same day that McConnell folded on the debt ceiling vote.

As another poster said on an earlier thread, Republicans said during the Ted Cruz filibuster they were saving their ammo for the debt ceiling fight. Only now, we see as before, that words like that are always punted to the next fight, and then tomorrow never comes.

So was this column posted as agitprop? That's what we haze n00bs for, isn't it?

No, we have nOObs to feed our synthetic air of superiority and general hazing to see who they really are.

It feels good too.

Bring me another....

I called one on his first post a couple months back.

He showed his true colors and five minutes later was back at DU and Kos

Expand government and curtail liberty

Yea, that's all RINOs know to do, with Cornball doing the cheerleading.

Republicans also lost Senate races in KY and GA in 1972 as Nixon was carrying 49 states.

The loser in KY was named Nunn, and the winner in GA was also named Nunn!!!

If they do again what they’ve done before, they will grow government and hand things back to the Democrats.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking the sport.

It's just that this time he stumbled over a legitimate story that I'd hate to see get lost in the frenzy.

“The leadership team-in-waiting in the Senate is secure and very capable. Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, Texas’ John Cornyn, and South Dakota’s John Thune are all smart, principled, experienced and crucially, strategic thinkers.” Hugh Hewitt

So what does leadership look like to Hugh Hewitt you may ask?

“Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, and Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the Republican whip, waited nearly a half-hour as their Republican colleagues refused to vote to end debate on the bill. When it was clear that the debt ceiling increase would fail, they stepped forward in tandem to deliver the deciding votes. Other Republicans followed by changing their votes.” NYT

Mr. Hewitt, standing by as your conference leads the demise of the debt limit only to vote to bring it back to life and then vote against the bill is not leadership in my book. That is just old fashioned politics. You may like that crap, but the rest of us are tired of that being called leadership by you morons.

If the GOP told us, they would not be elected. So silence is the word.

My very own ILL-Annoy RINO - Mark Kirk. He’s way better than Durbin. There are many.

We’re naïve to think that the solutions will come from politicians. It will come from us and we need to keep the pressure on.

I’m guessing - raise the debt limit, allow fags and other deviants to become even more “special”, kowtow to minorities, kiss the president’s tuckus, beg the illegal aliens to love them some elephant, take over the reigns of healthcare and find that they really like it, pass them some big-time pork, line their own pockets and those of their big business backers - you know, politics as usual.

From discussion on a previous post by him. If you read it, you would agree.
