Could you possibly be suggesting....(I hate to say it)...
That they pander??!!
An audience member asked Cruz, “Why don’t we impeach him [Obama]?” reported the National Review based on their audio of the event.
“It’s a good question,” Cruz responded, “and I’ll tell you the simplest answer: To successfully impeach a president you need the votes in the U.S. Senate.”
Of course he needs at least 51 in the Senate to pass a budget defunding Obamacare, or to kill a budget without it in Senate,
Time for ALL Repubs to “put up or shut up”, “Put the money where your mouth is”, etc. etc.
We voters need to “call in our markers” and MAKE them do something.
I once had a teacher who wisely (and repeatedly) told the class “Remember, its not what they say, its what they do.” His point, of course, was that people will say whatever is convenient, advantageous, or diversionary for them while their actions say otherwise.
I’ve always found this to be an insightful axiom whether it be in the political realm or anywhere else. Talk is cheap.
Republicans want our votes and our money. They will say anything to get them. But they don’t really want our conservative principles.
