It will take a few years to oust the RINOS.
Balanced budget is a trap that would play into the hands of RINOs and Dhimmicrats. You can “balance” the budget by raising taxes, or in many other anti-taxpayer and anti-Amercan ways. Only economic illiteracy - best case scenario - would make that a hill to die on.
And quite frankly, the Daily Caller hates the guts of the Tea Party and has been playing a dirty game throughot the recent primaries
Check out his source. It a Leftist propaganda outlet. You are know by the company you keep.
LOL
Sure it is. Everyone knows which publications on the right are mouthpieces for the GOP establishment and NR is on that list.
But the aide said that many in the Republican caucus don’t believe Boehner, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, or any other members of the leadership actually want a ban. “Once we’re in power they’ll say, ‘Let’s find a reasonable way to earmark,’ which of course the Tea Party will see as total capitulation. Most people around here don’t realize the extent to which Joe America sees earmarks as the poster child for out of control Washington spending,” the aide said. Another aide who was present in meetings to draft the document agreed: “They already have an earmark moratorium, and not to continue that is a pretty huge flag that they want to get back into the earmark business.”
Pretty much. It's exclusion plus Cantor talking openly about not banning them entirely tells me everything I nee to know about how serious they are about cleaning up their act. It's not even just about earmarks, other then that would send a very clear signal they were serious. Legislators not appropriating money for pet projects to buy votes? You only give that up permanetly if you are serious about living by the principles you are campaigning on.
The House conservatives shouldn't fret too much about the Pledge though. The only people praising it are insiders. My feeling is that all those people they fear who have been staging primaries, well, they threw it in the trash. After the election we're going to make the rules. And if they don't follow them, they are going to have the same heat plced on them as the Democrats. I hope Republicans like townhalls and thousands upon thousands of phone calls and their so called "base" educating the indepedents on their betrayals...cause I'm not covering for any of them anymore.
The Republic is in danger, we have no time for these sort of anonymous back stabbing propaganda plays.
We need to keep our eyes on the ball.
Stop the 0 Democrat machine 1st. The rest we can work out after the elections
I think the RNC has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC.
It was also a strategic error. It ;eaves the door open for the rats to claim they’ll balance the budget. Most will laugh at that, but we have proof sitting in the White House right now that there are pleanty of voters dumb enough to believe them.
Balanced Budget and no Earmarks was critically important. Dems will play off that.So let me get this straight: You are saying that the dems will propose no earmarks and a balanced budget amendment?
“Balanced Budget and no Earmarks was critically important. Dems will play off that. “
How so? They are worse on these ... “VOTE FOR US, GO FOR THE GREATER EVIL.”
It’s a step in the right direction: dismantling this mass
of socialist legislation is going to take a while.
