Call it the mysterious case of the Incredible Shrinking GOP.
Barely one month ago, the party sailed to victory in one of the biggest rout election waves of the past century. They ran the board and took control of the U.S. Senate. They grew to historic levels in the U.S. House. The Democratic Party was left in tatters in state, local, and governor races across the country.
But today, just a few weeks later, before GOPers even take hold of their new reins of power, the party is crying poverty. They are stricken with paralysis. House Speaker John A. Boehner, known for his weeping, begs powerlessness.
"Frankly, we have limited options and limited abilities to deal with it directly," Mr. Boehner said last week when asked about President Obama's unconstitutional executive action to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens presently living illegally in the U.S.
"Limited options?" "Limited abilities?" We have an unbridled madman in the White House right now taking a machete to the U.S. Constitution and the leader of the opposition party that was just thrust to power in a historic rejection of the president and his cleptocratic policies is now talking about "limited" options and abilities?
Funny, I don't recall a single Republican running in a single race this year on a campaign that Republicans in Congress have only "limited" options and abilities to stop Mr. Obama. No, in fact, every single one of them ran their entire campaigns on the singular promise that we have to vote for Republicans so they could stop Mr. Obama. And Americans voted.
Now the chads have not even settled yet and already we are being told the whole meaning of the election is something different now. Now that they have won.
Either Republicans did not really believe their campaign...

They either impeach the bastard now or saddle future generations of Americas to dictatorial rule.
They won’t.
Now, let’s get on with firing up our new party.
Get some balls, Boehner.
Resign and let a Patriot fill the Speakers seat.
We have to go after the head
The way the liberals went after Newt
Only for the opposite reasons
amen.
December, 2014 & January, 2015- Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Unless of course the Republicans also want amnesty and can indirectly get it this way. -Tom
they sought power and said the right words to achieve through an election
but now that the election is over, like politicians everywhere, they tell the voters to go away or simply ignore them.
Not enough votes to impeach; so let's just make it so NOTHING Obama wants over the next 2 years sees the light of legislation.
Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct, just like Harry Reid did.
Elections have consequences!
They haven’t even assumed their offices yet and they’re already giving up.
Why bother voting?
No! Tis is not just about the here and now, it is about the future of the republic. This rises to the level of impeachment. Whether it is successful or not it must be done. The precedence here must be set. No dictators in the USA....
The fix is in.

if the gop-e/rino leaders are calling the shots, there will be no fight.
[ Get some balls, Boehner.

His are probably in the same place Mitch McConnell’s are, in the mouth of some hot male “man of the evening”....
Isn’t this a bit of an open secret, well the part about Mr. Turtle anyways....
They don't even bother making a pretense of fighting anymore.
Republicans are fighting the war they always wanted: against us. You might as well write the Rats need to fight Obama.
