Fold, cave, capitulate, relent, succumb, concede, buckle under, etc.

You left out lube their own rectal cavity and grab their ankles.

There is only one party in Congress.

The Party of Government.

I just now spoke to my congressman’s office in D.C.

Congressman Bill Posey had a meeting this morning with Boehner to say

we were not elected to do this, and we need to wait until

January before doing anything. At this time, no vote but ..

The base deserves what it votes for

This time, it couldn't be more clear. The base, and a lot of other people not expected to vote with us, voted for the conservative rhetoric of the election. The bare-*ssed lies of the Republican puppetmasters in this election tell us that the US is not going to be saved.

I hope nobody has the nerve to tell us that a vote for establishment Republicans is a vote "for the lesser of two evils".

conservative rhetoric

And that my FRiend, is exactly what it was. You nailed it.

Its all political theater brought to you by deceitful producers and actors well-schooled in the techniques of telling people what they want to hear. Its a well staged production and at times worthy of an Emmy.

The GOP is a façade. Behind the walls its pursuing its own selfish interests at the expense of the people it claims to represent.

You will be shocked by the apologist come 2016. Heck you might not even make it to January before they will be here in full force telling us about the impending end of humanity unless you support or re-elect their slave masters in the GOPE.

They are actually quite sad at this point. They know better but would rather believe the fairy tales the GOPE whispers in their ears. Either that or they like the lash.

We can do this before 2016! A third party will become the first party very quickly.

And it will only take 34% of the vote to wind up with Hillary. Or Elizabeth Warren. And what would the new needed total of Electoral votes be? 180? A third party is a double edged sword. Be careful what you wish for.

[skeeter]

With the level of lying on the part of candidates of both parties, and the patent bias and dishonesty of the MSM, I'm not willing to blame the base entirely.

It is obvious the game is completely rigged, and it does not matter what the voter does anymore, unless it is to put more big government types in office.
