They need to pick the fight up a notch and say you know what

Since you aren’t accepting these emergency Obamunist continuing resolutions, here, look at this.

We took the time to pass an actual real budget for the first time in two decades. We did the actual constitutional thing.

They’ll never do it but that is what they should do.

“Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to oppose the measure.”

Rand Paul is not a team player.

Decades past time. Republicans that whine about minority rights “when the Dens get back in power” are weak. They love the minority since they work so hard to be in it.

Governing frightens them.

Rand might have a point and some leverage if he was the leader of a block of votes that could produce some tangible outcomes. When you are a party of one, it’s usually you who are the problem. And that is the basic issue with Rand and Massie for that matter.

No, but he is voting the way he promised to. The votes will have to come from elsewhere.

Tick tock, Tick Tock…

Thanksgiving is approaching and 42 million Americans will go hungry on Thanksgiving because Democrats voted that there shall be no money for foodstamps.

How are the Democrats going to spin that? It is all in the messaging, they say.

I say publish in every state the names of the people that voted against reopening the government and blast those names on loudspeakers every day until Thanksgiving.

Liberals vote for FREE SHT. The people they voted for are demanding America hand out FREE SHT. The NON Free Sht people that were voted into office are standing their ground. Democraps have been handing out FREE SHT for decades in exchange for votes to get into power. FREE SHT has given America an INVASION of ILLEGALS. NO MORE FREE SHT!
