“Why should they, GOP voters are demanding entitlement reform and ignoring everything else.”
Those gop voters are becoming a rarer and rarer breed. At a certain point even the most strident gop stalwart wonders if they’re being played for a sucker and finds something else to do with their time.
The GOP members know when to vote NO on things because of how we feel back here.
Pork barreled “hurricane relief”, tax increases, the debt ceiling hike and so on get passed with some GOP support while most members vote NO with a tough sounding statement accompanying their vote.
But those NO votes almost all of them support Boehner as their leader, that gives away the phony game our elected GOP congressman play.
The NO congressmen need to kick out YES congressmen and Boehner from their caucus but don’t hold your breath.
The GOP is run by Rovish moderate business as usual politicians who have over 90 percent of the people we elect under their thumb.
But get angry about Obama and terrorists, Obama and guns, Harry Reid, labor union bosses etc. etc. while the GOP keeps this county on course to disaster with ever increasing spending and debt.
There can be no compromise on taxes, spending and debt, but there have been cave ins and more are to come.
I don’t beleive for a minute that if they cut socialist security they would not move the money saved to the even bigger sinkhole known as socialized health care.
There is no way this government is ever going to get serious about not wasting money and going into debt to do it. They broke out of the limits of the constitution and the sky is the limit. What goes up, must come down.
Let it crash. Then start over with constitutional limits on federal activity for a change. The government is a monster and cutting one unconstitutional activity will just lead to more spending on another unconstitutional thing.
