I truly believe that the GOP is far closer to extinction than they imagine.

They’d be much better off if Bonehead and McDorkel were pushing daisies.

Sorry, but dat’s the twuth.

"Just hold your nose and do it", "lesser of two evils", "let's get the majority, THEN demand action", "if you stay at home, you are voting for the other side" ...

Need I go on?

So, they have been given the majority, and it looks like they will use there new found power to advance the liberal agenda. But, we won...

Just because people are sick and tired of liberal republicans doesn't mean they want to be democrats.

That's your false choice.

“At least they are better than your party...the democrats.”

Not my party whatsoever, but there appears to be not much difference between the dim bulb crats and our Repulsicans.

I still maintain the GOP is just above stalling speed, preparing for the death spin.

Hope I’m wrong, but given our sorry *ssed “leadership”, I don’t think so.

The majority of Americans voted for Obama TWICE. Our issue is not with the weak kneed GOP reps, our issue is with those voters who swallowed Obama’s lies. Until we do our job of educating our neighbors we cannot hold our reps to a higher standard than what the majority want.

If conservatives will put more effort into creating a professional run 3rd party, instead of the constant stream of bitchy articles about the GOP, then they wont get votes.

Until then, we will fight the easier to beat GOP than the Dems that are guaranteed to not care what you think.

Some of us prefer to fight. Not sit around thinking we are not in this.

Yup. We were threatened by the GOP party hacks and the affrighted Conservatives here at FR that we ‘had to win’ in order to stop what Obama was doing, and if we did not pull the lever for McConnell/Boehner et al., Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid thanked us.

Turns out that those of us who REFUSED to vote for the Ruling Class GOP stooges, were once again correct - because the people Pelosi and Reid are thanking today are the very people the hacks were shaming everyone into voting for.

Look, we suffered a coup. The GOP knows where the power is going to lie in the new order and they will do everything they can to share in it.

We are past the point of elections having any influence on those in power. Most Americans will continue to delude themselves into thinking that it does, because to face the truth is to confront a horrible reality that few are willing to admit.

Because our only options when facing the truth, is to submit - or resist.

Not many willing to resist and risk reprisal.

Without the president we are still the minority when it comes to laws being passed.

Let me try that again...

Why bother voting for the Republican illusion of restraint when they can simply throw their weight behind Democrats and at least sit at the table when the spoils are dispensed?

That is the thing right there.

Northern Colorado. The day after Obama was reelected, I changed my affiliation from Republican to unafilliated. I'm done.

Pile on me all you want.

That is a cop out. More excuses. The current GOP House could kill funding of Obamacare and Amnesty. This month, not in January.

Excuses don't feed the bulldog.
