Lemme get this straight.....Boner is going to make Jordan pay for not towing the Moderate line? I thought only the Demonrats did that. Jordan is a Tea Party favorite? This could be a real test of the Tea Party’s clout. This is maddening to say the least. :(
Those of us who left the Republicans and identify ourselves as “conservative” have been expecting this as we’ve watched events unfold. The Republican party is not conservative. It is merely less liberal than the democratic party which is just plain socialist.
Now that we have a new batch of conservatives in office, they are challenging the liberal republican status quo, and the liberal republicans do not like it one bit. Their constant failures at “reaching across the aisle” are not acceptable to the conservatives. This congress is gonna either find itself agreeing to actually do some of the things the conservatives require, or it’s gonna be deadlocked until the man is at the door.
Frankly, I don’t see a way out of this even if the conservatives DO get their way - it’s too late for that - but to continue on with the iterative micro-changes being proposed is madness in the current situation.
No significant cuts, NOW, no deal.
