Texas Republican Ted Poe Quits Freedom Caucus Over Their #NeverTrump Intransigence…
Conservative Treehouse ^

Posted on 03/26/2017 2:50:01 PM PDT by hotsteppa

Texas Republican Congressman Ted Poe has announced he is giving up membership in Hillary’s Favorite Caucus over their unwillingness to support President Trump:

“I have resigned from the House Freedom Caucus,” Poe said in a statement. “In order to deliver on the conservative agenda we have promised the American people for eight years, we must come together to find solutions to move this country forward. Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do.

Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective Member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. It is time to lead.” “Some only want to be the party of ‘no’ & would’ve voted against the 10 commandments,”

Congressman Poe’s exit from #NeverTrump leaves 29 remaining members.

They voted for him as a compromise.

Looks like “Conservative” Treehouse is going to have have to go on my personal #FakeNews list. Between this headline & the article on how Mr. Trump is reducing the federal deficit in his 1st 60 days, it looks pretty fake.

"In order to deliver on the conservative agenda we have promised the American people for eight years, we must come together to find solutions to move this country forward. Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do."

Poe, let me try to explain this to you. We the sovereign are the leader, you are the servant. You are not only not the alpha, youre a congressman, omega. You were brought into the pack to follow our directions. We told you coming together was the problem. We told you to hunt down and kill Obamacare, instead you whimpered and pissed on our boot. Now slink out back with the rest of the worn out chained up curs, dont be surprised if the voters give your worthless career the green needle next time around.

People with far more time and wisdom than I, have observed and identified Trump's ACTIONS and WORDS as "Socialist".
Whether you have the strength to face reality, or choose to continue in your fantasy that "Trump is a Conservative", is entirely up to you.
So, it's pretty obvious that public schooling has failed you, and you have no comprehension of what Capitalism vs. Socialism really is.

Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare! ~ President Trump

That pretty much sums up my feelings about all of this.

The Freedom Caucus is the best thing in Congress. Sorry to see Ted Poe leave.

Oh really? Then why did they support Paul Ryan as Speaker -- despite his close friendship with La Raza traitor Luis Gutierrez, including speaking to illegals with Luis in 6 cities?

Why would any sane Republican wants their President be left with the ownership of the sh*tsandwich?

Because there are not many "sane" republicans and there is not a dimes difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.

This could not have been more apparent than last week when 40 FC members had to stand solid against a RINO President and Congress to stop another Socialist healthcare bill

Now they are going to be punished by the President who ran as a Conservative....LOFL

Hillary besmirching and insulting Trump voters, as you’ve done, worked well for HER. How do you feel aligning yourself with a communist who gets her marching orders directly from Satan?

Maybe Trump doesn’t mind that now we can all wait for the natural death of Obamacare. For sure Ryan comes out looking bad...maybe that’s why Trump let this play out.

I honestly think that is the case. And, with that said, I think the other part of it was to get GOPe/Progressive Ryan replaced as Speaker.

I’m not a supporter of the freedom caucus. I believe they never had the courage to oppose Ryan, and they in fact supported Ryan for Speaker.

So far as killing RyanCare, I do think they get most of the credit.

But they also get credit for keeping ObamaCare and for Planned Parenthood getting to kill another 320,000 babies in the next year on the government dime.

Sometimes I wonder who really support what up in that puzzle palace where a vote one day means you do support something and a vote the next day means you don’t support the same thing.

The Freedom Caucus could also be viewed as the body that just saved ObamaCare.

Rejecting Ryancare was the right thing to do. What’s amazing is that the FC had no alternative to offer. No wonder we’re stuck with Obamacare for the foreseeable future.
