Are key Republican leaders in D.C. from the Senate, House and Supreme Court being blackmailed? Tell me you haven’t thought the exact same thing? Something is very wrong. Something smells rotten in DC. Rotten like a dead fish left at the front door of a Congressmen’s office by the Obama Crime Family. Rotten like a photo of a Supreme Court Justice with his robe down at his ankles.
Because what’s happening just isn’t normal. Please tell me how it’s possible that President Obama and his socialist cabal suffered the most massive and historic defeat in modern political history only 9 months ago- and since then they’ve gotten everything they’ve ever wanted handed to them on a silver platter. Does that make sense to you?
How’s it possible that the GOP- the party that won in a massive historic landslide gained nothing and won nothing? Not one victory. Zero. Zilch. Or in a language Democrats understand “Nada.”
Not only did Obama’s party lose badly…they lost everywhere from top to bottom. Senate. House. State Legislatures. Mayors. Governors. You name it. They lost the Governorships of deep blue Maryland and Massachusetts. They were destroyed.
And it was all about Obama. He wasn’t defeated- he was repudiated. Democrat Senate candidates refused his help. Democrats would not stand next to him on the same stage. Democrats treated Obama like a New Jersey toxic waste dump. Democrats treated Obama like a rotten fish.
Since then…conservatives have lost everything. Name something we won or achieved after that smashing victory? Name one thing. Name anything. I dare you. I double dare you.
And you don’t think someone has photos of GOP leaders in bed with little boys?
Far fetched? Really? Think 2 words: Dennis Hasert.

i wish people understood that this is always the endgame for a democracy/republic. Nazi Germany came into existence legally and constitutionally. when Hitler failed with his Munich Beer Hall Putsch, he contemplated suicide thinking himself a failure. he was talked out of it. he then set about destroying the Weimar Republic from the inside, by getting Nazis elected to the Reichstag in enough numbers to change the constitution. when the time came, the German people gladly voted to replace their democracy with a dictatorship.
this is what the democRATS are doing here, now. they are every bit the radicals that the Nazis were and they’ve followed Hitler’s example ever since the 1968 democRAT convention riots went badly for them (it was their Munich Beer Hall Putsch). i wish people could see the clear parallels, but most people are not students of history.
the way to end black mail is to kill the blackmailerl
Why would you assome, in light of Bhoner having never been a firebrand right winger, that he was blackmailed to begin with?
I agree that some of them do indeed get blackmailed. No doubt. But most of these guys, all rhetoric aside, are compromised ethically before ever getting into politics to begin with.
It’s easy to tell which. Every mother tells their kids that you are the company you keep. Or kept. To mix a metaphor, Hyena’s don’t change their spots.
yes, the analogies are stunning.......
“And as long as conservatives keep supporting these types of candidates and the spawn they generate, we will deserve what we get”
The candidates run Tea Party, and once they win, they vote Obama.
I wholeheartedly agree.
The biggest problem with excessive government surveillance is that we can’t answer questions about bribery.
We know the data is being collected. We’re told it isn’t being used.
We can assume that many politicians have done things they don’t want known. Enough things do come out and it’s unlikely that the press gets all of them.
When something unexpected happens, is it more likely that the data really isn’t being used or that it was used to change votes? Regardless of which is more likely we can’t say with certainty what happened. And that is a huge problem for a country.
Term limits.
no more than 4 for a representative and no more than 2 for a senator.
And still do...
Agreed, but the two often go hand-in-hand. The taint attaches even if literal "bribery" doesn't exist. None of them will admit to cronyism (which isn't literally bribery), but cronyism is rampant. None of them will admit that their function is to ponder legislation offered from outside of Congress, but that's common.
My point is that Congress wants "business as usual" to be hidden from the public. They aren't leaders, they are puppets. And the pecuniary reward for being a puppet is substantial. They crave the position for personal riches.
Who runs the TEA Party today? It ain’t conservatives. Follow the money.
Lots of us warned when the TEA groups organized that the gOP would infiltrate them.
They did.
It’s a lesser evil. One would think that lesson would have been learned by now.../s
Well that make perfect sense. The RATs have been infiltrating the GOP ever since the Reagan landslide victories.
I remember that the “defections” were so numerous that they were reported weekly over several months on the alphabet news “shows”.
This is precisely why, today, there is no line of separation at all between the RNC and the DNC. They are one and the same.

Most are bribed; the top, such as Boehner, McConnell, Roberts, are obviously blackmailed.
Twain was wrong. It doesn’t rhyme. It repeats. Precisely.
Election of Senators must back to State legislations per original Constitution.
Self-deluded true believers at that. But right on the money, even as they point to "the vote" and claim that the vote, without more, is sufficient basis for finding "self government."
Very good description of the parallels between Germany and the US, but I think the decline is even worse because it no longer matters to get the populace to vote for tyranny. No matter how the people vote (see 2014), the Leftist Marxist agenda is advanced ever faster. The political leadership and many of the representatives are united against conservatives and have pushed the country well past the point of no return. Whatever solutions there are, they will not come through the ballot box IMO.
my idea, based on the fact that i saw term limited politicians continue in government simply by changing office, is to allow a certain number of points (regardless of which offices they hold) before they are forced out of all offices.
say for example, 1 term for a senator is 12 points. 1 term for a representative is 6 points. 1 term for a governor is 10 points. etc. etc..
then let them all have something like 28 or 32 points to spend in public office over their careers. once that is spent, they are done. no more public office of any sort (on a state level or federal level). this would prevent the career politicians that we currently have.
