Even though large tracts of America has fallen or may fall into the grip of the Democratic Party and all the odious apparatus of socialist rule, we shall flag and fail. We shall not go on to the end. We shall not fight in DC, we shall not fight on the seas and oceans.... We shall surrender on the beaches, we shall surrender on the landing grounds, we shall surrender in the fields and in the streets, we shall surrender in the hills; we shall always surrender.
And if I remember, It got his attention! This is not something that should be stopped but continued and eventually it might even wake Boehner up! Well, not really make him into a non-RINO but may just give him pause - enough to allow real Conservatives to play...
bump
Thank you, Ted Cruz, for standing up and standing for something!
The power of the purse in the house is enormous. A speaker with manhood (a eunuch has more than Boehner) would say, “Read my lips: no new taxes,” and walk out of any meeting where they are mentioned.
I can dream...
Everybody at our company is freaking out because of the annual enrollment and the changes that will take place. Me, I am not signing up for any Obamacare/government exchange, I am not paying the fine, and I'm doing all my healthcare overseas until the damn thing collapses. I am not putting my faith into the Stupid Party to do the right thing and defund it, which they should've done 2 years ago.
One thing missing from this debate....STAFFERS!
Not the ones that answer the phones or do goffer work....Im talking about the backroom a$$wipes. No one knows their names outside of DC yet these sleazy slimey scumbags think they are the ELITES. They move from one member of congress to another...often are shared.
This is the group that needs to be exposed..NAMES!
perhaps the journalist that wrote this didn’t know the difference from senate and representatives. Or its all an outright lie...
Yes. Article 1, Sec. 2 of the Constitution states only that the House shall choose their Speaker. There is no tacit requirement that the Speaker actually be a member of the House.
Amen! Going along to get along has no value.
a lot of us are happy he can’t
But there is no doubt the system has been corrupted, such that both representatives and senators are creatures of their parties. They must continually whore for money.
As long as both houses of congress are largely responsible to party leaders for their jobs, there is little chance our republic will survive.
It is time to return to our framers’ design of divided power, between the states and federal government. It wouldn't be a panacea, but making senators responsible again to fifty state legislatures would break the lock that party leaders have on their members.
Oh, would that be the same “Republican lawmakers” and staffers“ who managed to get themselves exempted from the worst parts of ObamaCare? They're pissed? "Public servants", my ass...
Ted Cruz is shaming Boehner by speaking out even though that is or should be Boehner’s job as well, afterall isn’t he the SPEAKER of the House.
Cowardice, thy name is “GOP.”
It would be possible but improbable.
