Wow. This group is actually more dangerous than I even thought.
Drudge must be under attack too, they aren’t even reporting this nor have they updated any news since about 10 a.m. central time, or maybe even before that. That is when I started looking at Drudge & FR!
Absolutely. The Founding Fathers had a reason for what they did and it made sense. Ever since the 17th amendment, the states have merely been quaint geographic divisions within the all powerful Central Government.

I meant 2012 sorry.

No surprises with that group.
The underlying thing here for me is that the giant scam on the American people continues. That’s why we need real outsiders but I guess it’s just hard to break into the power structure. They’ve become Kings who don’t give a crap what we think.
The GOP sucks. They hate the tea party just as much as the dems do.
Yes, but only with new leadership. That may require a new election. By then the Republic may be lost.
If that does happen,we all know somehow it'll be Bush's fault....
Ping.
We need a full list of the offending RINO’s, complete with D.C. office numbers, most ESPECIALLY listing those who are up for election in 2012. Someone with a bit of time on their hands, please try to make this happen :-)
This treaty is treason. PERIOD.
That picture has been doctored, his eyes are open!
Amen.
Put the power back in the hands of those closest to the people. Especially in the areas of foreign policy and defense, and the approval of judges and executive branch officials, over which the Senate has particular power and influence.
I have been praying about this for awhile.
Psalm 94:16-23
16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, ‘My foot is slipping’,
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who contrive mischief by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will repay them for their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
God is laughing out load because He has set a trap for them and their day is coming.
ROFL!
This is a double wammy for 13 RINOs. It’s time to get rid of those not already booted out. The claim that this was passed by a democratic process is a joke. Congress had an approval rating of 13%, hardly representing the “majority” and this latest move, added to the repeal of DADT should bring their approval down to a low single digit. Heck, even the progressive movement amounts to about 30%.
