I've come to the conclusion they're all playing for the same team. The only differing factor is what position they play.
Can anyone explain why the Repubs caved on the gun-grab filibuster? Anyone?
Always looking for hope to triumph over experience...
I think they wanted to have their arguments heard on the floor of the Senate and then look to the House to defeat it.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
I have a hunch that they want the democrats to choke on what they have done until they are ready to get rid of a whole lot, if not all of the mess.
My thoughts exactly!
The second IS the Constitution. Once it’s gone, the rest is too.
Having spent time at Roskams town halls and having the opportunity to speak with him, all I can politely say is that he is a vapid politician, through and through. I doubt the man has had an original thought the entire time he’s been in DC.
Slick, polished, empty eyes....
The Witless Wonder and Stuart Smalley both voted for the implementation of the medical device tax through DeathCare. When the predictable blowback hit them, they shape-shifted.
Don't let them off the hook that easily. They're just tax-and-spend lefties who got caught.
