I used to think that too - that they were stupid and naive - but when you've been in office as long as B!tch McConnell, you learn how things work. They're not stupid, THEY LIKE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.
They just give us lip service and go about doing as they wish - politics as usual! They have NO intention of changing anything.
They will never vote term limits for themselves - is there any other option to force this upon them? A massive petition or something?
McConnell protects Republican brand while enhancing his own reputation
#@#%&*(@%$@&#%&^~!!!!!
No barf alert?
Where is the “Hurl Alert”?
Big tent Republican squish club = no Tea Party Hobbits allowed.
What a cabal of freakoids in DC other than a select few comprised of those Hobbits.
I should have included a barf alert.
Sorry.
Here is what has to change: the Political Class deals with each member as though the members were in and of themselves a “vote” for or against something demanded by the Leadership. There is never any serious connection between Congressional Members and actual constituents when it comes to Leadership demands. That's why Boehner says “get your asses in line” - as if he's talking to a bunch of middle management underlings in a corporation he owns. It's a command so detached from the reality that it seems as though Leadership truly forgets these House members actually represent We The People, and are there to do what we asked them to do. All the Republican Leadership can say to them is "shut up & and sig with us and the Democrats", without remembering they're saying it to those who sent the Majority to the House.
Media wants to keep separated elected Republicans from Conservative constituents, and they threaten a merciless campaign of harassment to insure it. So long as the Republican Leadership cowers from this single fear, We The People who want to save America as we've known it, are on the brink of losing the fight.
While there are a lot of serious risks associated with it, I've been convinced for some time that the only solution to our current corrupt Federal Government is a Constitutional Congress called by the States. The Constitution allows for it. We just need enough red states to do it.
The Constitutional Congress could add term limits and balanced budget amendments to the Constitution. As if the scum in Washington would obey that part of the Constitution.
"The only thing that keeps Congress from being more corrupt than it is, is the fact that most of the Congressional hacks are inept bunglers." - - - Mark Twain
I can’t thank Mitch and Tammy Faye enough for introducing government by committee. Just helping the march toward totalitarianism move forward.
Where is the Barf alert?
One must conclude that McConnell is rivaling McCain as a democRAT-supporting media darling.
REPUBs need to learn that when the MSM bestows praise on them, something is wrong, very ,very wrong.
Arlen Specter...I hadn’t thought of him, but you’re absolutely right.
I think we´ve had it.
McChinless and Boner, what passes for “leaders” in the RINO Party. Both need to be primaried at the earliest possible point in time.
“I disagree—it was intentional. The GOP leadership, Democrat leadership and MSM are on the same team!”
Amen!
