Right, work with them up until the night of the long knives, uhuh. They can not be trusted. Sorry, but that's the nature of moral degenerates who hide in the closet with a spinning moral compass.
Politics is a dirty business and the majority of the American people who sent these folks up there to DO that job aren't capable of surviving in the cesspool that is DC. The purpose of party politics (besides doing the people's business) is to win for the party agenda. The B-I-G picture. If these idiots are on the Hill and they have a vote, WE have to include them for as long as we need their votes. That doesn't mean we can't marginalize them or even let them know that they don't call the shots, but we do need to work with what we've got to work with and that would include the RATs who are feeling the heat and want to stay in their jobs.
Work with everybody as much as possible to shove our agenda along until we control the game. THEN we can get out the broom and clean the House! To do otherwise is not only foolish, it is wasting our shot. We absolutely cannot afford to waste the shot!
I see where we're not connecting now.I'm talking about the (non-elected) Liberal Pirates now calling themselves the "Tea Party" who wrote the letter and essentially demanded their social agenda not be interfered with - while they are also trying to unexist the fact that a substantial portion of the real individuals who participated in real Tea Party events were Socially as well as Fiscally conservative.You're talking about the elected representatives those pirates are attempting to command.
That's common sense. I agree.What remains to be seen is which of these newly elected representatives, if any, constitutes "them" i.e. Social Liberals - maybe none at all.Hopefully none at all, and the Liberal Pirates are merely barking desperately from the outside, in which case I hope the freshmen IGNORE those outside special interest voices - and vote per the Truth in their conscience and input from their individual district constituents. Not per any "party" directive - RINO, Tea, or otherwise.
