Story written by a far left lib about a conservative trying to push legislation through an organization controlled by a lying rino.

What do you expect, roses?

McConnell has been accused by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of lying about his legislative priorities

The "accusing" is always mentioned.
The FACT that McConnell really did lie is somehow over looked.

Lying? No big deal.
Telling the truth about a liar? Shocking! Beyond the pale! I can't believe you did that!!

I forgot to add:

The rinos and the repub-e’s will never repeal obbummer care.

It is the biggest fund raiser they have ever had.

How many times have we received form letters from repub-e’s begging for money so they can repeal obummer care? I sure have received a lot of them

A private citizen ... who happens to be employed by a government agent, offered a suggestion that quite possibly could take hold and hurt the establishment pols


Kind'a like MY idea that the USSC evaporated the "wall of separation" the state so loves to hammer us with, when they determined gay marriage was exactly, identically, and perfectly EQUAL to heterosexual marriage

Marriage, being traditionally, for thousands and thousands of years of human history and the hundreds of American years, being the purvue of the church .... is now the same as the state

POOF ... no wall !

Another Lee aide, Conn Carroll, said his boss apologized to McConnell when he learned of the email.

Why apologize, Mike? Don't give Mumbles the satisfaction!

I am trying to think of one thing Mitch, Boehner and their clowns have blocked Obama on. Is there anything they kept Obama from doing?

Mitch and Boehner have had power. What is one thing they’ve blocked Obama from doing?

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.

Obamacare is costing us billions. How can its repeal increase the deficit?

Why would repealing Democratcare increase the deficit?

Guess those voters who want some action from conservatives should vote for Rachel Bovard. We have a president who ignores the laws he doesn’t like and makes his own laws when he wants, and Sen. Lee acts like a timid mouse, so worried about offending the dictator from KY. Pitiful.

But their bigger concern is that a senator would work with outside groups to attack fellow Republicans.

Chris McDaniel (R-MS) was unavailable for comment.

Lee is not doing it right if it’s only rankling McConnell.

“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?

Thank you for referencing that article VinL. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"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.
