“Tom Price...HR 3000.
If we had that, we’d be doing backflips about our medical insurance.”
When the Republicans had control of ALL of the levers of G’ment they increased the size of G’ment - same as the Democrats.
Do not be fooled by their misdirections.
Fool me once shame on you, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME
I love your sense of humor!
If you guys stopped light rail you are anything but lame.Keep up the great work bud.
When did the Repubs have all houses of gummit? A split Sinate can stop anything as Reid is showing.
I guess the dems just hate truth. Guys with their heads cut off never tell the truth, they don't talk much at all!
“but to call Brat the tea party candidate is a misnomer.”
I would argue that Brat is indeed a T.E.A. party winner. Since there are so few defined “leaders” of the T.E.A. party, I say the local populace that is FED up with the big g’ment B.S. from their elected officials have finally had enough and are doing something about it LOCALLY

If you missed the several threads regarding the Sawyer-Clinton interview, a segment can be seen here:

Morning buddy. Funny you should bring up Jordan. Since the kingdom there is on the hit list of al-Baghdadi and his merry band of head cutters. I guess they don’t embrace Sharia enough.
Hey I’m amazed that they are even covering what is going on in Iraq right now. Can’t be too favorable to the regime.
” U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas, says the United States should provide financial assistance to Mexico to help secure its borders and slow the flow of thousands of immigrants.”
How many in the FR community insist that we here in Texas vote for this RINO ass instead of voting out conscience?
“None of the major tea party groups gave a dime to Brat. They have contributed to other candidates around the country. They refused despite requests from the Brat campaign for support. “
Unfortunately the “BUZZ” about various incumbents, that they are unbeatable because of A,B,C creates an aura where quality challengers do not show up and run.
This is the case with John Wayne McCornyn (he is just like one of us) in Texas - No credible opposition
This is the case with Linseed as well - No credible opposition.
Some, like the Madison Project will tell you up front that some of these battles are futile.
That is one reason why this Win by Mr. Brat is such a huge upset and a plus for America. Maybe this will generate momentum in some of the remaining primaries - Tennessee being one such race
The Tea Party is not a hierarchical organziation but a coalition of local groups around basic principles. There are no national leaders. No one speaks for the Tea Party writ large.
I think the Tea Party movement suffers some of the problems that Eric Hoffer described:
Up to now, America has not been a good milieu for the rise of a mass movement. What starts out here as a mass movement ends up as a racket, a cult, or a corporation.
Does the fool take constituent phone calls/emails?
Okay, don’t mind me. I’m so Old School I still occasionally lapse back into the days when elected officials would at least pretend to “listen”.
Now, we’ve ALL got these nosepickers get themselves enough high rollers to finance buying an election so they can go to DC and spend the rest of their lives buying re-election with taxpayer money and then sit around acting like damn uncrowned royalty.
...even in their most deranged moments, they’ve gotta know that showing up actually wearing the crowns they think they deserve would be a Bridge Too Far.
“When did the Repubs have all houses of gummit? A split Sinate can stop anything as Reid is showing.”
How old are you? - Bush II - 2002-2006
Agree on Tennessee. Alexander was one of 14 Rep senators to vote for the Gang of 8 bill. We should help Joe Carr.
“When did the Repubs have all houses of gummit? A split Sinate can stop anything as Reid is showing.”
Did not notice who was posting - Bray the Republicans have been BIG G’MENT since forever - one tiny exception what Ron Reagan - And he was only able to hold some things at a standstill - EPA - Huge issue back in 1984?
Is it not interesting that Mr. Chubby has not been heard from since Tuesday?
hmmmm.
If ISIS finds Sunnis that are not deemed sufficiently religious enough they could be killed in a heartbeat. They killed thousands in Tikrit alone. No telling how many were Sunni. This is a viscous group that uses car bombs intimidation,you name it sort a far more religious Haqqni on steroids.

The GIA group in Algeria was one of the wanna-be franchises deemed “too violent” by bin Laden in the 1990s. But the word violent was an interpretation by western analysts. What mattered about GIA from bin Laden’s perspective was that they were impossible to CONTROL — especially from afar.
The group that hit Benghazi proved to be impossible to control also, as they were suppose to kidnap Stevens not kill him.
Obama is trying to pass it all off as Maliki’s fault (a surrogate for blame-Bush) but we all know this is simply another event in the march of terrorists across the middle east and beyond.
For all his faults (and foibles and corruptions) Bush did know we were fighting terrorists and that they are all “too violent” for us, and that was the point.
I think Obama halfway believes in their cause (to the extent that it advances a broader Leftist agenda) and simultaneously believes he can CONTROL them. He can’t. But I also would not be surprised if they learn how to control him, and that in the course of doing so some of that stolen half-a-billion ends up in DNC coffers.
Wherever there is a big pot of Arab money, the DNC is surely lurking.
