Do you realize that the HOUSE Republicans have quite a few members that HAVE been fighting like crazy for spending cuts, border control and other very conservative causes???

They are still enough of a minority in the Majority party that they don't get exactly what they want all of the time, but they have been influencing the others quite a bit!!

If we don't vote Republican in Nov., or don't vote at all...we will be letting them down..

A lot of people tout Tancredo on this site lately because of the immigration problem...do you think letting the DEMS get the majority in the House would be HELPING him or supporting his work???

What about Mike Pence and Jeb Hensarling, who have made a LOT of Republicans mad at them because they fight the "established" Congressweinies on every spending bill!!

Please think about this....all of these people will end up in the MINORITY, so all of their hard work will be for nothing...only because some people aren't getting life exactly how they want it right NOW.

Quite a few? Wow! That's encouraging.

Republicans were Conservatives until they got power. That's because they needed us to get power. Now, they got what they want and they are Politicians. The ruling class. They got the House, they got the Senate, they got the White House. What are they waiting for? Nothing. They are doing what they want to do right now. Serving themselves rather than America. Sure, there are great ones among them. But, as a party, they do not represent a Conservative agenda.

If we don't vote Republican in Nov., or don't vote at all...we will be letting them down..

I don't think so. I think the true Conservatives in the party are just as disgusted with their colleagues as the Conservatives on this site.

Lately? Tancredo has been the congressional hero of Conservatives for a while now.

I have no intention of "letting the DEMS get the majority in the House". If that happens, that's the fault of the Republican Party and their abandonment of Conservative principles.

P.S. Don't you think you should save your punctuation marks??? You might need them later!!!

The biggest thing fighting against ones such as him now is our POTUS. If a benign DEM had beat Bush out it might have actually been better for the GOP. Before anyone yells and screams at me hear me out on this. Sometimes the Executive can be so Liberal that he splits the party and enables the other party. I saw it happen with the former governor of my state. He made being a Conservative a hard road for all especially the GOP. He did the Liberals work for them though. He was a two termer and the second one was the worse.

The GOP was literally split in half. Some by the never ending party or else support of the governor no matter how wrong he was the others the Conservatives had to look to a hand full of DEM conservatives to stop the governors agenda.

I'm not making it up click on my bookmarks under anything that says Tennessee Tax revolt, Tenncare, or Taxquist {Sundquist}. His actions speaks for itself.
