Is that Boozmans number or the Senate number? I’m asking before I call it. I’m a little riled over this.

In the face of permanent Socialism, the RINOs are worried about how they might look.

YOU’RE GONNA LOOK DEAD UNDER 0BAMACARE.

So it’s easy, if you frigging think about it.

I got through and promised to fund his primary challenger to the maximum amount allowed by law.

Hey Boozman! If you vote for closure, I'll try my best to unseat you in Arkansas.

Juan McLame, if I win the Lotto (1 in 15M chance), I will work to unseat you too.

Mr. Graham, you are next. Methinks the people in SC are done with you.

I swear our CONgress people are no better than welfare queens. They live it up on our dime then act appalled when expected to work.

Cspan informed viewers last night, in their scroll line, of the difference between filibuster and a “speech”.

It makes no difference, in practice, what we call it when measured by impact - and this had impact.

A shame isn’t it when simply representing the people’s voice and their grave concerns becomes in this totalitarian government, an act of “heroism”. Scary, really.

Aw, poor John.

Many of us “out of state activists”, John, gave money to your campaign.

Clown.

I’m for anything that pisses off Harry Reid. It keeps him from messing everything else up.

Doing everything they could to defund DeathCare was only the immediate goal of Lee’s and Cruz’s efforts.

Shining the light on the Republican cockroaches for purposes of exposing them for future primary challenges is almost equally as beneficial.

>>>Poor senator is hearing from his constituents and he doesn’t like it.>>>

Good thing about Boozman is that his name is easy for us to remember and to vote against him.

I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he has used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.

I’ve sent my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.

Dick Bachert
*************
WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!

Among others, Thomas Jefferson warned that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency, to wit:

“When the servants if the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”

It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that un-backed currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”

If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw this problem ahead:

In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”

If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.

That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.

We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.

Cruz should have looked him up and down and then said, “don’t worry, where I come from you gotta have a set of balls to get bullied.”

“Boozman urged Arkansas state leaders to challenge the health care reform legislation in court. He said the June 2012 Supreme Court ruling upholding the law didn’t mean that the law was good policy....”

At least until you get a real chance to do something about it. You ran on repealing it. You won by basicly promising to get rid of it. Now you savage someone who is actually trying to do something about it.

Shame!
