Reality is that the GOP does not want to get rid of ObamaCare.... and plan to expand it with Illegal Alien Amnesty.
The GOP has become like the “palestinians” - always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
The party needs to die, and something viable to grow in its plpace. Which may be difficult, since there now isn’t even a viable legal system, or election system. There’s routine infiltration and takeovers of other parties by the “democratic” fascist movement, and if you escape an all-out communist/islamist holocaust it’ll be a bloody miracle.
My two senators (D) from MN helped lower the medical device tax once already and are supporting to lower it again.
When Tax and Spend Democrats want to lower a tax I have to wonder whats in the pudding.
Isn’t this the role of the discharge petition?
If we keep making corrections to the bill we will be stuck with it, leave it alone and have it collapse. No repub fingerprints at all.
Yesterday, the GOP gave away any chance of regaining control of the Senate with their cloture cave on the Manchin-Toomey monstrosity.
According to FR posts last night, Speaker Boner indicated that he will side with DemocRATS to pass what he considers “important” legislation. This stance, coupled with everything else, will keep the base at home in 2014—Bye-bye House.
For whatever reason, elected Republicans are more afraid of what the MSM will say about them than they are of their constituents.
I no longer believe that there IS such a thing as the “Republican Party” at all.
Instead, we have a “GOP” that is nothing but a “Kept Opposition” for conservatives to waste thier $$$$ and efforts on—with nothing but frustration and bitterness as a result.
The WHOLE POINT of the “GOP” is to frustrate any opposition to the Commielibs of the “Democrat” party whilst keeping them in power.
Same old tired process... They get elected as change agents, and within two years become part of the elite structure that must be changed.
Sad part is... nothing is going to change. The GOPers are more interested in A-List invites to DC cocktail parties than serving the interests of the people who elected them.
I’ve lost confidence in the whole bunch of them.
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....
