Nope. Action and consequence. Liberals demanded we elect them no matter what and got the liberalism they were promised from the liberals they knowingly elected.
They did campaign on working with Obama after all.
Folks, if people wanted conservatism, they would vote for conservatives. There is no ‘against the Democrat” check box on a ballot. You vote FOR. And people voted FOR those that campaigned on liberalism after displaying YEARS of liberal actions.
Man up folks. ‘WE” collectively did this to ourselves. Vote like men next time instead of gutless cowards.
How so? They campaigned on working with Obama. They sided with Dems to get Thad Cockroach elected. They have been very up front about becoming one with the DNC.
There is NOTHING back room/cover of darkness about any of this. Thats an excuse people make to justify their vote for liberals.
Don’t feel bad, Joe. Paul Ryan had a most of us fooled, me included — probably because his shift to the Dark Side is recent.
Liz posted a devastating financial expose:

[A few paragraphs coming up.]
Liz:
In a rare bipartisan compromise on illegal immigration, the next federal budget will provide nearly $1 billion in funding for Mexico and Central America to help stop the flow of undocumented migrants to the United States, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar announced Wednesday. Cuellar, a Laredo Democrat, said he worked closely with Republican U.S. Rep. Kay Granger of Fort Worth in securing the $897 million for the region an increase of almost $200 million for Central America alone.

The only REAL way the Republicans can stop Obama is to stop paying for his government.
However, the Republicans are deathly afraid of doing so because they allowed the Obama and his support team, known as the media, to frame the issues as the Republicans “Shutting down the government” which hurts average Americans.
This was really the one of two weapons they had and when they used it, the Left made up a narrative proving Congress to be the bad guy rather than Obama.
The other weapon they have but did not use—I just don’t understand—was to pass spending bills severely limiting CERTAIN spending, and challenge Obama to veto them.
This would cause at lot more work on Congress’s part, because they’d have to pass and complete bills for each department/government program, but it would put the ball clearly in Obama’s court.
So they’ve simply given up.
They will wait until after the elections to force a showdown, when, in their eyes, it doesn’t matter if the big old meanies in the media make them look bad again.
Of course, they could knuckle down and fight, but that would be an effort.
They don’t call ‘em the Stupid Party for nothing’!!!! Throw in “Lazy”, too!
God bless Senator JEFF Sessions!
[Note — the name ‘Jeff’ was nowhere here until your’s truly came along. Very common with a Sessions thread.]
I quoted short paragraph, very devastating, in post 65. Post 64 is the link for more.
I suppose to the stinking politician, the only skilled job left in America is LAWYER....
That has been the MO of this administration and their buddies in Congress - House and Senate.

But we always blamed democrats. No we know better. The stinking republicans aren’t weak. They are COMPLICIT!!!
If a publicly traded company did this to their shareholders, the CEO, CFO, etc. would all be in jail.

This is traitorous and they should also be in jail.
We are being invaded at the invitation of our government.
Is there supposed to be some sort of strategy here? DO they think that by giving Obama and the Democrats everything they want, they are pulling off some sort of “let the Democrats own the disaster” long con?
It's not a future, it's a disaster.
Sad part is most of them have been indoctrinated to the point that they actually trust anything the government tells them.
Good luck with all that.

It is time to realize republicans are not weak. They are COMPLICIT.
It is well past time to destroy the republican party and start over.
This also postponed the effect on unions of Obamacare for two more years.

It is time to face the fact that the republicans want this as much as the democrats.
They aren’t fighting them. They are fighting US.
He’s growing a beard just like his muslim masters.
He must go the way of Boehner and Cantor.
