I’m watching Senator McConnell, but I don’t really want to defend his voting record at this point. Why? Because I hope we have a staunch conservative running in Mitch’s place come November. I will state his voting record, fraudulent though you claim it may be, is still better than a Democrat.
I’m amazed at how we demonize anyone who not only doesn’t vote with us 100% of the time but those who merely don’t agree on tactics. For example, some Republicans apparently believed the debt battle couldn’t be won at this time and thought it was going to harm our chances in November. They may have shared Cruz’s ideology. They didn’t agree with his approach.
Keep in mind I ALWAYS want more conservatives in DC, and I absolutely do not suggest we should surrender control of the GOP to the RINOs. They certainly don’t intend to surrender to us. No matter who wins, we better learn how to cooperate against Democrats. We can’t afford to have any of our guys sitting at home or registering protest votes in November. That’s a sure way to defeat.
Again, I’ll take a 50% RINO any day over a 100% Democrat if that’s the best I can get. This all or nothing political warfare is going to get us slaughtered.
How do you explain the fact that the GOP Senate and House under GW Bush spent like drunken sailors and failed to hold hearings on clear abuses of the banking sector?
A GOP RINO Senate will get you all of what Obama has advanced:
* Trillions of dollars of increased spending.
* Homosexual everything everywhere.
* Government run healthcare.
* Government snooping into every facet of the lives of Americans, i.e. the mocking of the 4th Amendment.
* Mischief making using the American armed forces as mercenaries.
* Liberal leaning justice appointments.
* Immigration insanity and lack of border enforcement.
and on and on and on.
I see what you are when you advance the list above by victimizing yourself as someone that holds a different opinion but is conservative nonetheless. That song and dance is old now.
Somethings are not negotiable.
Utterly ridiculous. Is that you, Karl Rove?
The damage done by the RINOs IS getting us slaughtered.
The RINOs must go -- hopefully in the primaries, otherwise withholding votes in the general. (with one exception vote for a RAT over Boehner)
Boehner is an extremely evil human -- he lives to destroy the Tea Party. In a general election, I would advocate voting for a RAT over this POS. He is only 1 in 435. We can lose that seat and will mostly likely keep the House.
By all political means possible Boehner must be flushed.
You GOPe apologists make me puke. We are truly at the threshold of losing our Republic and you think the likes of Boehner will "help save us?" Get real.
An enemy inside your camp is much worse than an enemy on the outside.
P.S. Note this post, sometime after the primaries Boehner will try to shove full Amnesty down our throats!
I'm sick to death of people talking of "tactics". What utter bullshit.
The country is being destroyed before our very eyes. In an earlier age, the rifles and cannons would already be firing on the traitors, and we'd be decorating lamp posts with their worthless carcasses.
The people elect representatives to Congress to represent their interests and their beliefs. They don't elect them to become part of a ruling class oligarchy who tinker around the margins while the middle implodes. These people need to fight for us, or they need to be retired.
ENOUGH!
