Well let’s all vote Libertarian and maybe get a few of them in the House...it’s a start.

[Cheerio]

So the GOP Congress has now approved the transfer of THIER Constitutional Power to Article II. The liberty loving Constitutional Republic is soooooo over.

[ilgipper]

I give up. I do. This party is dead-man walking.

[Gator113]

We are not going to get or country back, not with a ballot.

[demshateGod]

I voted for a Libertarian against Pat Roberts. I left the House ballot blank because the Libertarian was really just a leftist, environmentalist, who wanted free pot-smoker.

I still irresolute when it comes to state and local races.

[Cheerio]

These GOP hacks will lie and say anything to get elected, then fold on election promises that were made...without hesitation.

Hellloooo - Boner has been doing this his first "negotiation" on the CR voted on in Jan 2011. The Nov 2010 election promise from the LYING GOP was they were going to cut a minimum of spending from the US appropriations of $100 BILLION and Boner ends up with a $30 MILLION dollar deal - and makes a speech about how we should appreciate his fine "deal" he negotiatied with Obie. How could we continue to vote for either one of these lying sacks of s$$T parties? You are not going to find the truth coming out of the District of Corruption - I DON'T CARE WHO YOU SEND UP THERE!!

Article V is the only answer left, short of Revolution II.

You are a bit confused here. The vote you linked to is the vote to table the bill. Your staunch conservative should have voted yea on that.

If you ever get confused as to how people should be voting, look at how the democrats vote. They vote in lockstep and against conservative thinking. In this vote, the democrats all voted nay and did not want to table the bill. The traitor republicans voted nay with them.

The Hastert rule says this bill should never have come to the floor. Boehner needs to go.

[Cheerio]

Went online just now to re-register as an Independent. Sad day.

I did this in 2007 after Geo Bush gave away the GOP Congress to Piglosi and Dirty Harry. All I accomplished was to be banned from voting in the national primaries. This is not the answer and the GOP still called me for money, which of course I refused. But talking to a GOP volunteer provides no pleasure you cannot take it out on the volunteers who believe in the stooopid party.

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that McConnell and Boehner want to just make $$$ and be in the minority; they have no interest in leading the country, just making their cash and kingdom in the minority. If I had them in a room 1-1...

[Truth29]

"I believe the party will now collapse. There will be no peace. With “winner take all” that POC bush will win the primaries with 18% 0f the vote (82% voting against his amnesty loving ass). Millions will stay home in the general.Blame it on McConnell and Boehner on your way out the door. ( and Karl Rove and that sorry Haley Barbour for sabotaging the McBride tea party candidate in Mississippi) There is no hope in the republicrat party. None. They have sided with the devil. The sorry Cornyns and Hatches .Get ready for all out political infighting. NO PEACE. I am going to look at Jim Webb for president. So Far so good."

I mostly agree with you, but I don't think the party will collapse. It is important for the Democrats to have a Potemkin Village opposition, so Boehner will continue and be supported when necessary by the Left. I think, however, that demographics are destiny and millions (it will almost assuredly be more than the 5MM cited)of illegals who will now receive SSNs, work permits, 30+ thousand in back EITC payments will vote Democrat in 2016 after receiving all the help they need to register and vote. Legality be damned. This will assure that the Democrats dominate national politics for decades.

I saw the banner on C-Span. It said with no immigration language.

[caww]

....”To defeat the democRATs, we must first defeat the Republicans”....

THAT can’t be said enough!

[1010RD]

Ugh!

[1010RD]

True, but still not a solution.

[shove_it]

Right you are, sorry.

I can’t find the right one.

[tennmountainman]

That’s the darn truth!
