Geez, we’ve heard this argument for over 30 years. If not now, when do we hold their feet to the fire?
Didn’t work so well in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 did it? We had both houses of Congress and the WH and they ignored us time after time because of the RINOs and wimps.
We’ve got to clean our own house first before we take on the socialist tyrants or you get more and more BS like this last debt “deal”.
I live in, arguably, one of the most conservative counties in the country (Williamson county in TN) and our representative is Marsha Blackburn. After just three terms in Congress she votes with the leadership because she went to DC and fell into it’s power structure. So she voted for this debt “deal”.
I’m hoping she now gets primaried in 2012 and I will NEVER vote for her again. I don’t give a rats ass if that means a Dem will win the seat (all but impossible - not enough of them in the district).
She needs to go and I told her so. And, like Jim, I got a snarky form email full of gobbledy-gook language.
Even “conservative icon” Allen West was FOR the deal...
Allen West on Debt Deal: 75% is Better Than Expected

Of course they didn’t get any “75%” — they gave Obama what he most wanted, as Trump said, to have this pushed past the 2012 elections.
