I have served in local government, and I can attest to the truth of your statement.
The reason is very simple, people naturally want to get along with those they work along side for a long period of time, and even the most committed person will eventually start to go along to get along.
This is why term limits are so critical.
We need a constant infusion of people with new ideas and the boldness to stand up for them into government and simultaniously need to be purging those who have been in government the longest who have consolidated power and who actively attempt to muzzle the thoughts and actions of the newly elected.
The sooner conservatives separate from the GOP the better for conservatism in America. At this point the best bet for us is to form a 10-20% presence in Congress on our own party not accountable to the GOP dolts.
I sent a strongly worded message to Boehner last night. I asked him, among other things, why is it he can be a hardass, dictatorial prick with his fellow republicans, but conciliatory and compromising with the democrats.
Boehner does not represent me.
LOL! My Samsung Galaxy pad does the same thing and drives me bonkers. I had to turn off intuitive spelling on the keyboard settings.
“RINO Boehner?!?”
How can someone be a “Republican In Name Only” if he was elected by the entire GOP caucus to be Speaker of the House?
People, there is no such thing as a “RINO.” They are just Republicans doing what Republicans do, lying about being conservative while playing their role as minority members of the Ruling Class.
I do know it was a damned stupid move.
In other words you're happily ignorant but outraged anyway. That's come to typify "conservatives" and elements claiming the Tea Party.
The Left doesn't need to work hard to defeat us, they let us fight amongst ourselves and self-defeat.
You know you can shut off the “Auto-Correction” & “Check Spelling” features on your iPad and iPhone - go to General Settings then to Keyboard to shut off which ones that you want off.
This is why it is important to maintain control of the house and it parliamentary rules and get the 17th amendment repealed so senators actually represent the states as originally designed. That way the president being elected by the unwashed masses is not that big a deal. Unlike now where we have a want to be dictator in power being facilitated by the senate elected by basically the same demographic.
This should be the focus.
I love the way people in here jump to the wrong conclusion and put words into people’s mouths.
I am sure you are thoroughly familiar with the Representatives he busted you know their records through and through, and you feel people like me should just STFU.
The rat bastard GOP still doesn’t get it! We are going to have to kick the hell out of them!..Then kick the hell out of liberals.
Hell, I suspect half of them are commiecrats who became Republicans to undermine the party from within. The others are bleeding heart libs for whom the commies are just a little too far left.
The Boner faction can’t win elections. They have to be pushed out of their leadership positions. But it all comes down to the votes - do you have enough to do it?
Good for Michelle.
On the other hand, Coulter was on Fox last night saying that we have to cave to the Dems on certain things for PR purposes. That idiot has lost her mind.
I agree. We already lost a month!
I understand that the house votes for leader on Jan 16. If a sufficient number of conservatives just don’t vote .then the house will have no leader for a year. To be elected leader you have to have 217 votes . Pelosi wont ever get there and if we can get 20 abstentions neither does boo hoo boehner. I would rather have no leader than Boo Hoo.
I would rather have no leader than Boo Hoo.
Ditto! Find someone with balls who believes in individual liberty and the Constitution above everything else!

I'm getting a top of the line iPad for Christmas instead of a mac laptop -- I sold the idea to my wife as the cheaper solution. Did I make the right decision? I hope so, it's a "done deal."
