Meltdown! GOP bosses' phones unplugged
WND ^ | 9/29/13 | Garth Kant

WASHINGTON — Following the epic, 21-hour speech by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, supporting the defunding of Obamacare, either voters made so many calls to establishment Republicans that their phone lines melted, or those GOP leaders took their phones off the hook.

Even in this age of digital wizardry and limitless voicemail, callers could not get through at all to Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

“So, scrub and clean by 2114 !”

Do you mean 2014?

The phone list is great, thanks!

Got thru to the RNC. They said if you did get thru to Mc Connel’s line you were greeted by rude staff members. They offered to relay a message. I told him to tell the Senator to grow a pair. He chuckled

this is how they ‘hear’ us - keep it up - crash ‘em day after day - they’re just waiting now for us to cool down and stop calling.

DONT STOP

- Write yourself an email - with all numbers to call - and call them 3 times a day - with morning coffee at lunch, and mid afternoon.

Keep it up - it will drive them mad and get them to thinking - geeze, these people won’t vote for me if I don’t do the right thing...these people mean business...

Wrtie yourself that note!

Someone who just last night indicated he was concerned about the peoples’ voice.

Most of us realized that Cruz 21 hour filibuster was not going to stop Obamacare but the hope was to filter out the RINOs and hope some of the MSM would begin to realize that they have supported communism with King Obama and his empire. The hope worked somewhat. We realize that the GOP must stop the bickering and get busy support real patriots for America.

They only care about getting the lobbyists to fund their re-election campaign so they can continue to have a perpetual lock on the seat to insure their own pension and retirement windfall.

>> The GOP is dead.

When electing defectors like McConnell and McCain, yes.

When electing heroes like Cruz and Lee, no.

Thanks, I stand corrected.

Fat finger error, my bad.

“So, Scrub and clean by 2014.”

BTW, that is better by 100.

Ha. These “honorable” douchenozzles don't fear the little people.

Put some realistic fear into them and they will listen. Until then, enjoy being a subject of the political class.

These gentlemen should not be surprised that they do not get envelopes with money enclosed. Nor do the MULTIPLE dues and contribution collectors. Why would I want this kind of performance? Why support it?

The Honorable (with earned respect) Ted Cruz and those like him? Well that is another matter. — A phone number and address (for congratulations and contributions that will produce a desired result) must be available for him somewhere on this FR service!!

The GOP does not realize that “fundamentally transforming America” means exterminating the GOP and instituting a perpetual one-party rule. They have stupidly allowed the dems to separate them from their activist base. Yes, the GOP is dead. The coroner ruled it a suicide.

And the NSA was sucking down all those numbers for the enemies lists. Ain’t life grand under the Obama Regime and the Just Us Department?

If you are a registered republican, change your registration to independent.

You can still vote republican when you find worthy candidates, but the establishment leadership can no longer count you as a given.

Eventually, the party will either die or change to serve it’s constituents.

I know McCain and McConnells were as I tried calling but so were Democrat Tim Kaines because every time I called him today, the call dropped off! I had option 1 leave a voice message or #2 talk to someone in office I would push #2 and it would disconnect me
Bet you could have gotten through if you were from K-Street.
