If there are 25 rino congressmen, then putting this to a vote would lose. That’s all it would take. And there are more than 25.

When it’s 2 to 1, you pick your battles carefully. There’s no great glory in falling on your sword.

Better to George Washington them....fall back until the battle plan is in your favor. That’s how the Revolution was won, by winning battles and not losing them, by picking occasions when winning was possible and not by throwing everything at a losing proposition.

The Establishment RATS and RINOs banded together to teach the TEA party freshmen a lesson. Expect more of the same.

My only point is that Gowdy shouldn’t mouth off when is complicit in the deal. He should just keep his mouth shut. It makes him look stupid and hypocritical. I agree with his stance, but complaining and whining about something you just voted for is weak.

I have little patience for hypocrites and show boaters. That is exactly what Gowdy looks like in this case.

What is this “conservative establishment,” led by Senior Juan McCain, that they speak of?
