The GOPe and Wall Street have declared political war on conservatives. For these clowns to protest about attacking fellow Republicans is the definition of hypocrisy...
Unless they are finally saying in the open what we’ve known for awhile now. Conservatives aren’t Republicans, and a belief in limited government disqualifies you from being a true Republican.
Welcome to the Uniparty, Democrat or Republican, it doesn’t really matter. It’s the same basic crap sandwich, and those serving it to us wail loud and long about how some of the sides makes it a different meal than the crap sandwich being pushed by the “other side”.
Funny think is, that the longer you keep ordering the crap sandwich, even the sides dishes start to get more and more similar no matter if your order it from GOPe or the Rats.
That’s the truth. You can call yourself a Republican only if you are willing to associate with those who are shoving this stuff down your throat no matter what lever you pull. Maybe the party can be changed from within, but don’t hold your breath.
Anytime a true conservative candidate, or a wildcard outsider like Trump, looks like they will be trouble, the GOPe, so dormant in opposing Obama, springs into high gear. They have and will simply change the rules and rig the game.
Winner take all primaries, campaign laws that have Wall Street wielding more muscle than Main Street, candidates there simply to run interference for the approved and paid for pre-selected choice. We complain about Rat voter fraud, but isn’t this scheme the same thing?
I’m just glad my mother, a rock-ribbed old school Republican, who spent a lot of time and energy helping Republican candidates because she believed it was the party of liberty and freedom, is gone above and can’t watch as McConnell and Boehner roll in wealth and privilege as they help transform us from free citizens to peasants of the Oligarchy.
“But GOP leaders have warned that it may be impossible to use the majority-vote budget maneuver to repeal the health care law because of rules prohibiting the use of reconciliation on anything that would increase the deficit.”
So now repealing Sh**care will increase the deficit?
"Mike Lee sent to conservative activists saying that a complicated Obamacare repeal procedural vote “should be scored” against any senator who opposes it."
Even if the procedural vote to “repeal” Obamacare gets the support that Sen. Lee wants, is it possible that lawless Obama would sign any bill that dares to repeal unconstitutional Obamacare? I have a hard time believing that.
Also, as a consequence of the 17th Amendment, even after three election cycles, low-information patriots have failed to elect the 2/3 Senate majority that is required to override a presidential veto (1.7.2). And I don’t see where the House will likewise have the required 2/3 majority vote to override a presidential veto either.
This Senate soap opera concerning repealing Obamacare seems to be nothing more than a pre-election year dog-and-pony show.
So what am I overlooking?
Note that if state lawmakers still uniquely controlled the Senate as the Founding States had intended, then Obamacare would likely never have see the light of day, at least not without a required amendment to the Constitution.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt, Constitution-ignoring senators and lawless presidents along with it.
