Gateway Pundit ^ | April 29, 2013 | Jim Hoft

“We’ve had probably five or six lunches with a bunch of Republican senators standing and looking at Rand and Mike and me and yelling at us at the top of their lungs. I mean really upset. And they said, ‘Look, why did you do this? As a result of this I go home and constituents are yelling at me that I gotta stand on principal.” I’m really not making that up. I don’t even bother to argue with them… But, here was their argument. They said, ‘Before you did this the politics on this were all great. The Dems were the bad guys.....

It is a class effort to some extent. That can be seen in the kinds of bills being pushed.

And this is what the GOP should be doing: keeping the anti-American side busy—very busy. Why aren’t we seeing more bills like the following—many of them?

If I were Ted Cruz, Mike Lee or Rand Paul, I would have yelled right back at these RINO scumbags......twice as loud.

Screw the RINOs.

Name them. In fact if you can catch them on audio or video even better. Destroy the RINOs.

There’s more, much more:

“We’ve had probably five or six lunches with a bunch of Republican senators standing and looking at Rand and Mike and me and yelling at us at the top of their lungs. I mean really upset. And they said, ‘Look, why did you do this? As a result of this I go home and constituents are yelling at me that I gotta stand on principal.” I’m really not making that up. I don’t even bother to argue with them… But, here was their argument. They said, ‘Before you did this the politics on this were all great. The Dems were the bad guys. The Republicans were the good guys. Now we all look like a bunch of squishes.’ Well there is an alternative. You could all just not be a bunch of squishes.”

New Word for RINOs.....’Squishes’

And then there’s more:

Have some REAL nerve Senators, come stand in front of me and yell at me like that. I dare you. You don’t have the nerve to face the common man and yell at him like that. Cowards.
