I agree you have a very strong case.
The way we can counter it is to get on the phone or the internet and start yelling .. and don’t stop.
The one issue I’m not upset about the McConnell will not STOP THE FILIBUSTER .. but all the time the DEMS were in charge, they constantly KEPT THE REPUBS FROM BEING ABLE TO USE THE FILIBUSTER. Making me mad as hell. And .. this is exactly why I didn’t want McConnell re-elected. He’s tooooo friendly with the DEMS and he will always consider them .. when THE DEMS NEVER CONSIDERED THE REPUBS.
So, I will be busy sending emails and making calls yelling about this issue .. and remember this ..... it worked with Boehner .. and the GOPe stopped the rage against the Tea Party.
Been doing exactly that for well over 20 years. The party will not be changed from within. That, my FRiend, is a losing battle.
it worked with Boehner .. and the GOPe stopped the rage against the Tea Party.
It did? I didn't realize he's not Speaker anymore. I also didn't realize Sessions was back in as Chairman of the Budget Committee and the rest of the targeted Tea Party types are now back in charge. Seems to me it DIDN'T work with Boner.
No, I'm done holding my nose to vote for the GOP. All that has done is pushed the party further to the left. I'm done with the GOP. A shame, for sure, seeing as how I've always talked about being a Republican since I was 8 years old and knocking on doors for local candidates with my Grandfather.
I said “STOPPED” .. I didn’t say they changed everything back the way it was, or that Boehner wasn’t speaker .. did I ..????????? I don’t think you’re paying attention.
And .. I’m getting suspicious that you’ve never voted GOP; you’re just stirring the pot .. to see if you can get me to whine about the GOP. Sorry.
Well .. if I had quit every time the going got hard in my life, I’d be dead. You give up too easily.
I am paying close attention. "Stopping" Boehner would mean he is no longer Speaker. He is still Speaker, and still working in every way he can to screw Conservatives and the Tea Party. If you don't see that, it's you that's not paying attention.

Careful about bashing my political background. I've spent the better part of 25 years as a GOP activist and voter. Former candidate for office as a Republican, even (2000 State House, New Mexico). Of course I'm stirring the pot. I'm tired of being bent over by my supposed "colleagues" or "friends". You might like that, and are perfectly ok with it, but I'm not.

I'm not giving up. I'm doubling down on my attacks. You call it whining. I call it fighting back with heavier ammo. Wake up. The GOP is dead. It's all over but the crying at this point.
“Stopping” Boehner would mean he is no longer Speaker.”
How do you come to that conclusion .. he has stopped the attacks upon the Tea Party/Conservatives. I’ve heard from several people who say that is true. But, you don’t have to believe me.
and .. you can’t be “bent” by others unless you allow them to bend you.
