America was betrayed by every voter that ever voted for ‘lesser evil’ and No matter what’.

This is the DIRECT result of electing POS garbage.

This is the DIRECT RESULT of electing the two leaders that campaigned on working with Obama.

When Israel vaporizes and bombs fall on American cities, that is ALSO the DIRECT RESULT of people who abandoned principle for ‘winning’. Look what they won. Not one damn thing in our favor since the election. And now a nuclear Iran.

Every inch of this is on the heads of the people that willfully elected ‘evil’. They can scream all they want. None of this would have happened without their DIRECT action in the voting booth, online/telephone/door to door propagandizing for ‘party unity’ and browbeating anyone with enough sense in their head to not help empower people that CAMPAIGNED on helping the most destructive force since Stalin.

So McConnell and senate just ignored the full disclosure aspects of the Corker bill as if disclosure doesn't exist?

Lyndsey Graham got what he wanted.

And to think that there are still Freepers who are miffed by Trump’s dominance in the polls. People forget that the freaking Corker bill passed the senate by a count of 98-1...and the 1 was NOT Ted Cruz. Without the Corker bill, this would not have been possible.

I’ve said it over and over again, anyone that votes for a current member of the US government for president of the US and expects things to change is an idiot. The only possible chance we have to save this country is to elect an complete outsider.

Its the new Progressive math in DC-— Common (rotten to the) Core. We win the House and Senate but still lose to the Dems. Good thing i took my BP med already. Pox on all the DC traitors and flux em all save for a few keepers.

Simple solution. Invoke the Reid Rule and abolish the filibuster.

Too bad it is never going to happen.

“This is what the Republican GOPe wanted because if they stopped it they feared that when the Iranians get the bomb that it would be blamed on the GOP.”

And now that Iran can get them, the GOPe will be blamed because they didn’t stop it.

Way to go GOPe. When you are complicit you screw the country and when you are ignorant you screw the country.

You said this so much more eloquently than I could have and this is the very reason I jumped off the Cruz ship. He was my first choice for a long time - then boom - he voted for this bill and I jumped ship. This is a huge and serious issue that can’t be overlooked nor taken lightly. I still support him for VP because he is the best of the rest.

When Iran hits us with a nuke he (bama) wont even retaliate. Say something about it not being humane.

The next Clarion call-— we gotta and I mean GOTTA vote the GOPreeks out in the Primaries and make sure we fully get behind with solid, proven conservative replacements. Otherwise we get stuck with McConnells, Grahams and Cornyns among others all over again and it emboldens them more. These tasbards MUST be purged and humiliated out of office.

The GOP feels unelectable because they are not Santa Clause government and they try to avoid everything to the point of paranoia IMO.

The answer doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker.

You have to look at 2 things:

The intent of the Corker Amendment at the time,
and
The story Cruz was getting from McConnell at the time.

So, yes, Ted voted for the Corker Amendment, based on lies and promises he was given.

For the life of me I cannot understand why McConnell does not go ahead with a full filibuster and make the DEMS look like the fools. Set up cots in the Capitol and run it 24 hours a day till the Obamanites cave. He has the People behind him and he should take the heat. I am sooo mad at him (McConnell) I could spit nails into him. I expect treason from the stupid party, But Damn. our only hope was with the GOP and that moron ruined scratches himself while the country goes to hell. It isn’t too soon to throw this incompetent dip____ out.

If what you say is true, then Cruz is not smart enough to be president. Every single freeper out here would not have trusted McConnell yet you give him a pass because he did?

Judge them all by their actions and not their words.

I agree, at a minimum Obama has set us up for WW3 and the destruction or major attack of the Jews.

IMHO, the biggest priority right now is to elect a CONSERVATIVE President and for the Republicans (RINOs and all) to hold the Senate in 2016. There is not much that a CONSERVATIVE President can accomplish if Chuckie Schumer is the Senate Majority leader.

Scalia and Kennedy will both turn 80 next year. Thomas will be in his 70s. If we do not replace all three with CONSERVATIVE Justices then we are well and truly fckd for the next 30 years.

That will give the RINOs in the House and Senate 2 years to follow the CONSERVATIVE President’s lead. In 2018, the priority will be to get rid of every remaining RINO in the Senate and House.

In 2020 the priority will be to solidify Republican control of as many state governorships and legislatures as possible, so that Republicans will control redistricting after the 2020 census.
