Republican Senator Claims Peers Punished By Republican Leadership For Opposing Tax Increase
The Missouri Torch ^ | 6/24/13 | Duane Lester

Posted on 06/24/2013 3:10:42 PM PDT by Bodhi1

I attended an event in St. Joesph held by the Northwest Missouri Republican Club. The event featured a speech by Republican State Senator Brad Lager, who is entering his final year in the Senate.

During his speech, Lager told the group about something that occurred during the last session that he’d never seen before.

Here’s that section of his speech:

One of the senators mentioned, Sen. Dr. Rob Shaff, said the President Pro-Tem of the Senate, Sen. Tom Dempsey, told him there would be repercussions for killing the tax bill.

Sen. Dr. Rob Shaaf, claims Sen. Dempsey punished him for opposing tax bill. “He unexpectedly and summarily removed me from the Board of Directors of the Missouri Technology Corporation,” Shaaf said. “He did this without discussing it with me in advance. This is an example of the lack of respect for fellow Republicans about which Senator Lager spoke.”

Shaaf continued, “This was not the first punishment I received for killing bad bills, and it will likely not be the last.”

The republican leadership in both the US House, Senate and at the RNC and the RNCC are all in bed with the democrat fascists running our country, they are in bed n the sense that they want the SAME thing for America.

As long as the low information voters continue to send these RINOs to Congress, this will continue. I hope Boehner gets primaried and that entire structure collapses.

Every e-mail and phone call from the RinoNCC is responded to by tell them they are part of the party, have been corrupted by progressives and the only viable alternative is the Tea Party.

The list of those who are working against us:
Democrats
Most Republicans
Media
Public Schools
Unions
Muslims (well their against everyone)
SSADs (aka the misnamed gays)
Hollywood
FBI
DHS
EPA
IRS
FDA
DOJ

Add as many as you like but it looks like our inaction has embolden the communists in this country and no matter what they do, we do nothing.

How far are we to be pushed?

While I agree with all of your sentiments, this story is about state (Missouri) RINO scumbags, not the US House RINO scumbags.

This has Mike Kehoe's fingerprints all over it.

Kehoe is a Nancy Pelosi type, even though he is ostensibly a Republican. He ran for office for one reason, and one reason only... to line his pockets. Every tax-raising scheme we've been hearing about originates with him and the cronies he's fronting for. He still wants to turn I-70 into a toll road for his buds to hang their cash registers on.

Remember that name. Mike Kehoe. He's as dirty as they come, and dirty is what gets rewarded these days.

Is it too far off base to think RINO's foisted a successful power grab on the republican party and Islam is successfully infiltrating our US Gov't?

Conservatism must stay steadfast and true. It must reign or we will lose this idea of America.

The republican party is over for Conservatives, but more importantly there is sufficient evidence Conservatism will not survive in the republican party...get away from republicans my fellow freepers, your ideas are lost on republicans.

Build the tea party!

We (conservatives) will not, under any circumstances, be the ones to start 'the fight' Wurlitzer. It will be started by those that are on the dole the moment the dole runs out. Stay ready to defend yourself and yours my FRiend.

Something Wicked This Way Comes.

“We (conservatives) will not, under any circumstances, be the ones to start ‘the fight’ Wurlitzer. It will be started by those that are on the dole the moment the dole runs out. Stay ready to defend yourself and yours my FRiend.”


And therein is the problem. If we continue to follow the rules that the enemies of this country do not, action comes only after the country is completely destroyed.

When the vile filth on the left completes their Cloward & Piven destruction there is no point of return. It will be way too late.

As the ruling elite have proven the law and constitution no longer apply, why are we bound by it?

For the most part the criminals in the alphabet agencies either have retain their jobs or even received bonuses and promotions and we are not supposed to react?

We have been drawn into a gun fight yet we are not even supposed to bring a knife. This is suicide!

If there ever was a country which was NOT supposed to have a ruling elite it WAS the USA. These people have to be taken down and the Constitution restored.
