Very Difficult To Find Conservatives In Congress (Vanity)

Yes, his list is a steaming pile of BS.

Check the link on my Congressman Tim Walberg and see if you think he would only rate as 70% conservative.

Anyone that would claim he isn’t conservative doesn’t know their ass from a feather-duster!

Sorry, Sub, yours only rates a 70%. Mine, Posey, is a solid 100!

The National government is the problem, as it has broken free from the restraints of the constitution. Red vs. Blue, or R vs. D, is a false dichotomy - and sending "the right people" into the enemy camp (Congress) is not the right solution.

In the Consitution as written and ratified, states hold (almost) all the power, it's time to turn the focus away from Congress or who is President and to start taking our country back, state by state.

Vote ‘em out. And to do that, we’ll need more Conservatives.

Repealing the 16th and 17th amendments would be a good start at the rehabilitation of the republic.

It is difficult sometimes.

A lot of pols get voted in with high expectations and then become Insiders.

Case in point, Senator Tom Coburn.

When he was voted in I thought now this guy
Is someone we need.

Now I want him out of Washington DC. He
has betrayed us.

You set an impossible goal. I agree with you if the votes go against the very tenants of Conservatism... but men are flawed... man is not perfect and to expect perfection from anyone but JESUS and GOD is to set oneself up for failure. I am not talking about voting for gay marriage or against small government or voting to embrace evil. If a person so turns their back on why they were elected... they need to be voted out of office and shunned. I do not even agree with FReepers 100% of the time so I do not expect lockstep perfection from politicians.

With the IRS in charge of Taxation and Obama’care,’ the wealth and health of the LEGAL citizens of the United States of America will become totally controlled by corrupt politicians at the Federal level, IOW, we will be a Communist State.

We need to create as much civil disobedience as legally possible, because our sorry Congressional RINOs will not Impeach Obama for violations of the US Constitution, Anti-Trust Laws, Cowardice in the face of the enemy, or Dereliction of Duty.

Commie Obama will succeed ONLY if the RINO enablers allow him to do so.

Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has no intention of allowing the US Congress to interfere with Obama’s selective implementation of the Anti-Trust violations of Obama’care.’

Those who vote to fund Obama’care’ are thus Communist enablers, pure and simple.

Commie Obama will use HIS Bureaus, HIS Executive Orders, and HIS Military to “preserve, protect and defend his Commune-Style, Communist Obama’care’ in order to insure the complete financial destruction of The United States of America, and thus fulfill his first Inaugural vow to “Fundamentally change the United States of America.”

Weoll, then your list is flawed then and useless.

Flake? Must be based on his record in the House because the first thing he did in the Senate was join the Mob of Eight then vote to open debate on the most recent gun-grab attempt. Maybe this survey uses Nobel Prize methodology where points are awarded for hope of future conduct?

[Georgia Girl 2]

You can also ad Sessions, Grassley, Ghomert, Stockman,Gowdy and Tom Smith from I think CA to that list as well.

Tom Smith is the one who recently was in a capital building conference room where Paul Ryan was pontificating to the rest about amnesty. Smith stood up and basically warned all of them off on it including Boehner. Apparently he came off very well in that meeting. He told Boehner that the House was not miles apart from the Senate but worlds apart on Amnesty.

All in all though way too few foot soldiers to make any real difference.

FLAKE IS A TRAITOR WHO SUPPORTED THE INVASION OF THE US AND DESERVES THE RUBIO TREATMENT !!

And Bachmann just voted for funding to continue to spy on US citizens.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

In what way did he betray you?

[Waryone]

Perhaps your list isn’t quite complete. Where is Steve King’s name?

Repealing the 16th and 17th amendments would be a good start at the rehabilitation of the republic.

Just repealing the seventeenth would be a really good step.
I've come to the opinion that I'd rather have a flat-rate, no exemption, no credit, no withholding income-tax rather than a national sales tax.
I've been tinkering with an idea for a Constitutional Amendment to this effect:

Tax Reform Amendment
Section I
No tax, federal or state, shall ever be withheld from the wages of a worker of any citizen of either.

Section II
No property shall be seized for failure to pay taxes until after conviction in a jury trial; the right of the jury to nullify (and thereby forgive) this debt shall never be questioned or denied. This section shall be explicitly stated by the judge before the opening arguments and after the closing arguments.

Section III
The second amendment is hereby recognized as restricting the power of taxation, both federal and state, therefore no tax (or fine) shall be laid upon munitions or the sale thereof.

Section IV
The seventh amendment is also hereby recognized, and nothing in this amendment shall restrict the right of a citizen to seek civil redress.

Section V
No income tax levied by the federal government, the several States, or any subdivision of either shall ever exceed 10%.

Section VI
No income tax levied by the federal government, the several States, or any subdivision of either shall ever apply varying rates to those in its jurisdiction.

Section VII
No retroactive or ex post facto tax (or fee) shall ever be valid.

Section VIII
The congress may not delegate the creation of any tax or fine in any way.

Section IX
No federal employee, representative, senator, judge, justice or agent shall ever be exempt from any tax, fine, or fee by virtue of their position.

Section X
Any federal employee, representative, senator, judge, justice or agent applying, attempting to apply, or otherwise causing the application of an ex post facto or retroactive law shall, upon conviction, be evicted from office and all retirement benefits forfeit.

Thoughts? / Comments?

If he had 70 or under he’s wouldn’t be included on my list. A rating of 70 is just lukewarm.

[IbJensen]

Flake did have a 100% in the house. This was based on the key conservative issues.

[ConservativeMan55]

He’s screwed us every chance he got since he got reelected

Debt ceilings, bailouts, guns, and now obamacare

[Cyber Liberty]

Flake was good in the house. He “went native” before he was even sworn in the Senate.
