The shim sham flim flam drama unfolded in recent weeks in Washington has been something to behold.
We're told that a brave group of House members called the "House Freedom Caucus" forced John Boehner to leave and that this "Freedom Caucus" endorsed Daniel Webster of Florida.
But then Paul Ryan came around and most of them 'saw the light' and came out supporting Ryan.
But in spite of the "Freedom Caucus" claim they 'got rid of Boehner' Boehner is still around handing Barack Obama everything he wants in a new 'budget deal'.
A deal that keeps on spending more and more and bringing our national debt up another trillion dollars. The Republicans and Democrats of the Uniparty doing the bidding of the corporate and banking elites that run this country. At least Paul Ryan had the honesty to vote for the plan and confirm he's just another Boehner.
Almost all of the 160 plus Republicans who voted against were pretenders who showed their true colors earlier this year when all but five of them made Boehner Speaker.
Later today the vote for Speaker takes place on the floor in front of God and the American people.
It will be a proof vote as to who really means it about conservatism and a reminder to us folks back home about the liar, liar pants on fire Republicans who should never again under any circumstances receive our votes.
Between now and the elections ahead in 2016 (primary and general) we can expect a lot of emotional issues to distract us from the RINO politicians, RINO front groups and RINO media along with emotional speechmaking from the pretenders and phonies of the GOP (95 percent or more of all House and Senate Republicans).
Its way past time to 'just say no' to the phony baloney, plastic banana conservatives of the Republican Party from Paul Ryan on down.
You’re right about that one.
So are you saying BiBi is ok with the Iran deal in the backroom when nobody is listening?
You don’t think Iran is capable of a screw you moment and taking advantage of this deal?....
The Freedom Caucus gave us a fitting successor to Mr. Boehner. Why did they bother to dump Boehner in the first place? unless it was to make the Democrats’ Republican Speaker of the House even more powerful and untouchable?
Including now the Freedom Caucus. We have NO friends in Washington.
Dear WSJ Editors:
Obama’s full budget was passed by all House Democrats, supported by just enough of the Republican “Leadership” including Ryan and Boehner, with the approval of Paul Gigot’s Wall Street Journal Editorial Page, and in spite of the opposition of the vast majority of the Republican caucus and every conservative of note.
Nobody has credibly claimed that conservatism won anything, so this is not compromise. Republican “Leadership” did not complain that they were forced, so this is not even capitulation.
The masks are off at the Halloween Ball, and approving all of Obama’s budget demonstrates that Obama, Boehner, Ryan and Gigot are all leaders of the pro-government liberal Uniparty.
Ryan and Cryin’
Ryan is nominated as speaker ‘of the people’s House.’
==
Funny how they forget that ‘people’s’ part 5 seconds after they say ‘I do’.
==
Dems nominate Pelosi. She gushes as the camera pans toward her. She is being credited with breaking the gridlock to get the budget bill passed.
==
Too bad ‘none of the above’ was nominated.
It will soon be back to politics as usual. Conservatives will feel the wrath of the GOPEstablish.
Thank you for your input. Rest assured we will give it all the consideration it so richly deserves.
In the 1970’s Nixon and Kissinger ran our foreign policy like Israel runs its foreign policy.
Like Jordan for instance, back in the day Israeli envoys like Golda Meir dressed up like Arabs and crossed the border to see King Abdullah’s grandfather (who was assassinated for being too close to Israel).
Israel has common interest against Iran with Saudi Arabia (the home of the terrorist jihadi ideology Bin-Laden and others still alive in places like Syria if the Russians haven’t killed them).
It was announced last week that Israel’s “Iron Dome” missile system is going to the Gulf Arabs through a US defense contractor that partners with Israel.
Israel is “containing” Iran in the end like the US ‘contained’ Communism during the Cold War. Back then the tough talk against Communism from our leaders was often for show with anti-Communist voters.
I didn’t approve of what Nixon, Kissinger, Carter and all the rest did with the USSR back then. Israel is doing the same with Iran and Bibi postures tough for conservatives here in the US and conservatives in Israel. But his actual Iran policy is ‘containment’ through partnering with other nations that aren’t nice.
Nixon paled up with China, Yugoslavia and Romania in his day to opposed the USSR.
