My email to Shelly Moore Capito

Any vote by you to aid Al Qaida and/or any other terrorist group in Syria (or ANYWHERE) will result in the loss of my vote for ANY office you may decide to run for. Whether or not I vote for your opponent will be determined by just how angry I am in November. At present, I have just about had it with ALL politicians! I do not need or desire a written response. Talk is cheap. Your votes will tell me all I need to know.

“...Boner and Cantor need to be fired....”

Won’t happen... they pee themselves on demand. They’re useful idiots, and will remain in place as long as he needs them.

NO air strikes on Syria!!!!

STOP funding “rebels” and jihadists in Syria!!!!

ADMIT that it was the “rebels” that used sarin gas!!!!

RECOGNIZE the military government of Egypt, and withdraw all support for the muslim Brotherhood— anywhere in the world (including in the US).

SUPPORT Orthodox Christians in Syria, Egypt, the rest of the Middle East, Russia, Serbia, and right here at home!!!!

Money is the only thing that the Republican Party officials and politicians seem to understand, but they won’t get the message if you don’t tell them. I usually just don’t answer the phone, but now, I tell them exactly why I am withholding my donations.

The main thing is to get rid of the Congressional Serb-haters in the Republican Party, especially McCain and McConnell!!!!

Anyone who would bomb the Serbs and support muslim states in the Serbian homeland would also bomb Syria, etc., and maybe get us involved in World War III with Russia. McCain, McConnell, the clintons, Samantha World Power, etc. are proving that what I say is true!!!!

Anybody heard one peep from Harry Reid?

Is there an organized group of DEMOCRATS supporting Obama?

Then just why is Boehner and Cantor racing to Obama’s side here?

There are some people that need to be put on the unemployment line.
What are these morons thinking?
The last time a President shot missiles in to a Country to HELP muslims they rewarded us with 9/11
We have absolutely no reason to become involved in Syria.

Not "astonishing". Boehner knows someday we'll have a Republican president who will need support for a real emergency in the future & Democrats will use any excuse vote against him.

Even if Obama loses the Congressional vote he said he'll do it anyway. There's no way for the GOP to win on this.

Which is something there’s actually some reason to believe Obama may have had knowledge of or been involved with.

At this point, it should be clear to any thinking person that the GOP is controlled by mindless idiots and useful tools of the administration.

We need another political paarty -fast. The Tea Party people, libertarians and conservatives need to split from these idiots like Boehner and McConnell, McCain, Graham and Cantor and make it fast.

“Money is the only thing that the Republican Party officials and politicians seem to understand”

You are correct, and per an opinion I have recently accepted, I believe its laundered Saudi money that is flowing into the campaign coffers of the GOP to support an overthrow of Assad. They will vote yes, because a foreign government has bribed them.

Absolutely astonishing that Boehner is making this monumental mistake.

No, not really, boehner is a wimp, he crumbles the minute HUSSEIN looks at him, no surprise here, it's damn unfortunate, but no surprise. Boehner needs to go and go NOW, he is an enabler.

You know what this means? There is also no way we won’t get ObamaDon’tCare rammed down our throats. When hussein wants our guns taken away, there will be blackmailed support in congress. You name it, the dictator will get it.
