What do you mean “if”? It is when. And Conservatives won’t have long to wait.
“Boehner does Obama’s bidding”
Or just maybe it’s really how he sees things too? Then again, he’s such an unprincipled weasel that it all boils down to just him and keeping the chair he likes.
If Ted Cruz got demonized for helping to shut down the government last year, he has nothing to lose by doing it again, at least not politically; however, he does have a lot to gain in terms of patriotic Americans respecting him for his courage if he would stand up and fight against bad laws by shutting down the government if necessary.
But Ted Cruz is over. According to the latest Real Clear Politics poll, he’s receiving only 5.8% support for his 2016 presidential run — in spite of the fact that he’s been all over the airwaves for months.
On the other hand, the only other serious Conservative running in 2016 is Ben Carson with a significantly higher 9% support — apparently because he’s been campaigning at the grassroots level and actually working for the nomination instead of spending his time zeroing in on every available camera in Washington like a moth to a flame.

Find it ironic that the senate democrat (in name only) party leadership would support their party leader namely the POTUS discarding the constitutional limitations by issuing defacto legislation enforcing a socialist agenda, which circumvents and violates the separation of powers as ruled in the constitution. But eagerly resort to manufacturing rules of the senate to halt any minority voice in the legislative democratic processes.
House Speaker Bohner used this occasion of issuing a CR (continuous resolution) which should have been limited to the time those who were elected and seated to review and correct or remove excessive expensive illegal mandates of federal intrusion into the very core of American culture.
Bohner wasted that opportunity and instead sold it to as a chance to use it to load it up with funding for addressing long sought projects or legislative correction rejected by the opposition for their socialist agenda driven reasons. Which could have waited once Republican control of both legislative houses was seated.
Most of them have to run as conservatives to get elected, then after they are elected they say they have to compromise- move to the left- tell us it is what the people want. Before we know it they are in bed with the dims, until it is election time again. Rinse and repeat.
I respectfully disagree that Romney was ‘A’ choice.
If you’ve ever been around an addict, you know that they have to hit BOTTOM, AND then they will desire/want to FIX what the problem is.
Romney just would have been another fix, prolonging the agony.
Obummer and Reid brought US there so much quicker.
Straighten out this MESS, THIS is our priority.

Repubs NOT voting for Romney made sure that POS BO got reelected. If your nonvote helps an extreme liberal get elected it hurts ud all.
It ought to be clear by now that it's not the Democrats we have to worry about...
Did you vote for Romney in the primary???
