On second thought, if/when that happens, Texas will secede and send most of the leftist packing and won't have to endure what the rest of the country has to take.
Republican got control of the house and senate.
Record deficits year after year.
Full funding of obamacare
Full funding of importing muslim “refugees”
Full funding of illegals
Giving away their power with the obama-Iran nuke deal
etc.
Absolutely worthless.
It’s a complete disaster but it could have been a little worse-Vote Republican 2016
Congress basically never lifted a finger to stop initiatives that Bammy started. Sure they may have slowed him down through inaction, but they were never proactive. Their “investigations” were all kabuki theater.
No sale.
Conservatism has become nothing except principled votes against, and blocking, and stopping, and putting on the record for the next election cycle. I played along for years now thinking that a do nothing Congress was a good thing. I contemplated the greatness of Grid Lock, and how that was better than the alternative. I was somehow deceived into this view I think, having forgotten that getting something done ought to figure into things somehow.
I agree that RINO is an easy label slapped on anyone now, but it is largely because of the opportunity cost of the last 30 years (with a short exception in the 90's) of Electoral Politics. Something has to give. Immigration is a perfect example and why Trump has rode the issue to the height he has attained. Immigration reform and border security are perpetual Election issues which never get done. Only the extension parts get done, that is the parts which take care of the problems that are created by not taking care of the problem in the first place. And this is true with so many other things, like Social Security, fraud and abuse, etc. What do we hear? Getting rid of fraud won't balance the budget or solve the problem. So what? Do we look the other way?
Ultimately this is a leadership issue. Someone has to be the leader. Obama has proven to be a better leader for their side than anyone we have had on the R side of the aisle. GW was lame duck day one in 2005, so we have been slipping and sliding for 12 years now without effective leadership. When leadership is the issue, people look for a proven leader that will change the way things are done. We could be on the verge of something great.
We’re supposed to FORGET that ‘we’ controlled the PURSE.
‘Coulda STOPPED ALL spending—and didn’t.
This article is BS.
“The timid and the traitorous will never lack for a sufficient quantity of reasons — some of them quite artful — detailing why said treasons and timidities were actually none of their own doing. “
No shortage of same. A few are amusing, but most are sickening.
Texas will have to deal with a HUGE immigration problem if they secede. Millions like me will flock to their border and try to sneak across.
Absolutely Obama-enabling Uniparty.
I’ll tell you what the cowardly and spineless GOP Congress could have been doing, and that is to have IMPEACHED that treasonous Kenyan sonuvabitch in the White House.
If they had the guts, they could have certainly prepared a solid and irrefutable case for removing lil Lord Barky, because it is without question that he has violated the Constitution continuously since the time he oozed his way into the Oval Office, he has given aid and comfort to our enemies, his Secretary of State failed to protect our national security secrets and through her own incompetence and treason, allowed good and decent Americans to die in Libya.
And the reason that didn’t happen?
Because the UniParty wouldn’t permit one side of their organization (the GOPe-RINO wing) to move against the OTHER side (the ‘RAT wing), because it’s all one great big party and We The People are the suckers who have been conned into picking up the tab for that party for too many years.
The ‘RAT party is the feces encrusted ass of our government, and the GOP is always happy to serve as toilet paper.
The late Governor George Wallace was right when he said “there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican parties!”.
And he’s still right today.
But the Republican party has been bad enough (with the rest of US government) that voting in someone like Trump is the perfect “[censored] you” to send from the American people.
Our great dear leader, the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan just passed The Obama/Ryan Omnibus bill that added $1 Trillion to the national debt.
Bullcrap. Bush PUSHED for immigration. The GOP has PUSHED for open borders, wars of convenience that simply never end, prescription healthcare, internationalism of every type, homo marriage, and has given Obama anything he wants. Worst of all they have all been bribed by the Saudis and absolutely never oppose flooding America with moslems or oppose any Saudi policy goal.
Yeah, they have been as bad as we think, and then some.
YES THEY HAVE BEEN
THEY HAVE BEEN WORSE THAN USELESS
“Harsanyi’s family defected from Hungary. Harsanyi is an atheist and believes that gay marriage neither undermines traditional marriage nor triggers societal instability.”
In the eyes of a Eurocentric atheist homo supporter, im sure the GOP doesn’t look bad at all.
For the first time in a generation, the big money donors CAN’T buy the election. History going on here.
The GOP crowing about a few trival bills they opposed is a joke. At best, those were the “victories” Obama gave them in return for rolling over for everything else.
The essential problem is that the GOP has rolled over on the critical life and death issue of moslem and Mexican and central American immigration.
They have embraced the homo agenda. They are standing by as the military is turned into a national embarrassment of kissing men and bloated procurement disasters like the LCS and the F-35.
It is time to dismantle the GOP, or to utterly take it over. Go Trump.
Ask this question: who hurts more from a shutdown?
Is it the working people or the gov bureaucrats and other free loaders?
By not taking a strong stance the gope forfeited any chance for meaningful compromise.
Have they been marginally better than a dhimmi congress, well, yes, but that's hardly an accomplishment.
I’m worried it may be the last one we ever have.
I’ll be surprised if it’s actually allowed to occur.
We can all laugh at me for my tinfoil if we get to January, 2017 without something big happening. I’ll gladly be wrong.
