House GOP Setting the Stage for Massive Crony Capitalist Pay Backs in a Lame Duck
House Republicans are preparing a continuing resolution to keep the government open. In doing so, they’ve decided to be total sluts for K Street and Wall Street. The Crony Capitalists, emboldened by the Chamber of Commerce’s help during primary season, are doing some very unusual things.
Here’s what I hear is happening.
First, they will reauthorize the Ex-Im bank, which is something K Street is desperate to see happen.
Second, current reports are that they will spend more than the original Paul Ryan — Patti Murray deal that had included a tax hike. However, that is subject to change.
Third, and probably most significantly, they will make sure the continuing resolution expires after the election, but before January. That will free them up to go back for a lame duck session where outgoing members can use their votes to pass amnesty, tax increases, and further extend the Ex-Im bank.
Essentially, just as the Democrats used retiring members of Congress to pass Obamacare since they no longer had to worry about being accountable to voters, Republicans are going to use their members on the other side of an election and no longer accountable to voters to increase federal spending, collaborate on amnesty, and prepare a grab bag of pork fill requests for K Street.
Get ready. It’s coming.
“I absolutely think they will try their hardest. I honestly believe the GOP hates conservatives more than Democrats.”
I think TPTB hate anything that threatens the status quo.
I expect the GOP will take the senate. I also expect nothing will change very much and the conservatives will get knee capped.
How does the 14 Gangsters fit into your GOP Majority Senate plans?
You know, that gang that only seems to raise their ugly heads when
the GOP has control of the senate.
And we all know what their purpose is from past experience.
Throw a monkey wrench in anything conservative.
Stupid reason to vote for liberals with an 'R' after their name just so the GOP can do what Reid's party would do anyway - just at a slower pace.
I hardly think Mitch and a Republican Senate would bother to kiss Ophonybama’s ass as much as Dingy Harry and the LIEberals have done in the last 6 years!
Sure they will, and moreso. Obama has his Praetorian Media and the DC Dinner Party circuit. The Ruling Class shan't upset those 'institutions' and be declared to be 'racist' etc.
And, while we are at it, let us elect more conservatives to the House of Representatives and retire John Boehner.
All for it. However, just ask Chris McDaniel how difficult that task is when McConnell and the Ruling Class GOP leadership sabotage and work to destroy every Conservative running.
I've said it before, I will say it again, the GOP Ruling Class would rather and prefer a Marxist Democrat take one of their seats than see a Conservative like Cruz or Lee in it.
I am damn sick and tired of these FRicking circular firing squads!
You might want to talk to Mitch McConnell about that. He did after all, declare war on Conservatives and vowed to "crush" us wherever we are found to ensure we will not have a single Conservative candidate on the ballot in the November elections.
To put it another way, I'm damn sick of traitors who sabotage us and sell us out to the enemy and would slit our throats while we sleep in their camp thinking ourselves safe - just to ensure they remain in power.
Why don’t we work together to win the FRicking election and then beat up on Republicans and force them to our will?
That same crap has been preached ad nauseum since 1988. It's a NON-STARTER. Been there - done that. Remember the government back in 2002-2006???? Were we able to 'force our will' then?
How about when they pushed Amnesty in 2007-2008? Remember the vitriol they threw at Conservatives for that?
There is no 'forcing' the Ruling Class to bend to Conservative will. They hate us as much if not more so than the MarxoFascist Democrats do. The fruits are self-evident to those not drunk on the kool-aid.
I can tell you that it is a lot easier to beat up on Republicans and force them to our will than it is to beat up on LIEberal Democrats
No evidence whatsoever to back up your hypothesis. We had a GOP Executive, a GOP House and GOP Senate. They spent like drunken sailors, grew government to it's largest level in history (up to that time) and greased the skids for the Democrats.
Mitch McConnell declared war on Conservatives. He vowed to 'crush them wherever they are found'. What part of that do you FAIL to comprehend?
Does that sound like someone you can 'bend' to Conservative will?????
Read the story Erickson broke. Does that sound like a party that is going to GOVERN any less corrupt in redistributing OUR wealth than the Democrats do???
Just how delusional are you people?
Or are all of you just storm trooping party hacks with no allegiance to anything except the party with an "R" in it???
Why does it matter to you?
You obviously don’t intend to vote and only seem interested in having others join you.
Yeah. I already see that inevitability should McConnell beat grimes by the skin of his teeth.
I won’t be voting for him, so I will not be contributing to his declared war on the Tea Party.
So far, it looks like the machine corruption Mitch has been able to bring home here, is working a bit better than the Chicago Corruption machine Grimes has employed, if the polls are to be believed.
Which I don’t.
Not a single Team Mitch sign out in my area anywhere. Nothing but Alison signs. And I’m a a hard red county.
My intention is not to depress others from voting here.
Nor is my goal to change any minds here.
Others here feel the same as I,
Just as many others feel the same as you. Or maybe even more.
If you were a little more attuned, you would realize that if there
are divisions here, there are probably a lot more through out the
country, as well. So, you and others who think like you are just getting
some free red flag warnings.
You can chose to ignore it if you wish.
But don’t be surprised if the coming election is not the “grand sweep”
you are expecting.
We get it. Democrats bad, Harry Reid evil.
However, you don’t motivate a portion of your base by pulling stunts
like this lame duck thief in the night vote on rewarding crony’s or K-Street
fat cats. It is sleezy.
It may not be a big deal to you. But that does not mean it is not a big deal
to others here and across the country.
That was the best response to the entire situation that I have ever had the pleasure of reading, hearing or seeing.
Better take note of what he posted there folks. That is the unabashed truth.
Especially if they are counting on Mississippi - I cannot vote for Thad and may even cross over to make my statement against that betrayal worth something.
So, you are going to “sit this one out” and let the LIEberals continue to have their way with us?
You are going to desert the field of battle?
To what end?
For what purpose?
Today, we have gridlock. How is a rino majority an improvement? The rinos will be under great pressure to do something... Anything.. To show action, and gridlock is preferable to rino action. With the rinos selling us out, we still get bad policy AND we get the blame for that bad policy.
Not seeing the benefit of a republican majority simply for the sake of the letter R.
Great answer!
You would prefer the democrats not have gridlock?
Interesting. Democrats seem to feel the same way as you.
Voting for McConnell and RINOs like him, will ensure LIEberal Ruling Class Oligarchs continue to have their way with us.
I'm writing in a Conservative. I do not vote for liberals…. regardless of what letter they have beside their name.
You are going to desert the field of battle? To what end? For what purpose?
You are welcome to continue to practice insanity and fight on the enemy's terms on the ground they have corrupted for themselves and of their choosing.
I'm past where you are at.
I see the Trojan Horse you folks refuse to see. The city is already lost because the ruse is already inside the city gates.
I want my ideology to survive, along with my person with liberty intact.
So I've gone rogue and am thinking in asymmetric terms.
“So I’ve gone rogue and am thinking in asymmetric terms.”
What does that mean?
PS And, how will that advance the cause?
Will it get rid of Dingy Harry? Ophonybama? Chuckie Schumer? Debbie Whatsherface Shitferbrains?
Will that attitude advance the cause?
Slowing or stopping this MarxoFascist coup is NOT going to come from within Washington or via the systems and institutions they have corrupted.
It will have to come from outside what they have corrupted for themselves.
It will have to if you want Conservatism to survive in America.
The Ruling Class is on a quest to criminalize it, same as history teaches all despotic regimes attempt - and they just might succeed given how much they have already been able to demonize, criminalize and deconstruct in our society.
Rush ranting about this now.
Mentions that they intend to include Amnesty in this slew of betrayals.
If, as you suggest, conservatives abandon the field of battle, there is no way conservatism will survive!
We have to stay in the fight, and our first objective MUST be to retire as many Democrats as we can this November!
If you mean electing people who are not GOPes, I am with you.
In order to do that, we have to dis-elect Democrats!
We can do neither if we sit the election out!
