It indeed was a great night!
And I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the events that followed, especially Cochran, the Cromnibus, etc., were outright revenge against us for taking out their designated speaker-to-be.
They had already planned to pass the Senate amnesty bill once Cantor had cleared his primary. Defeating Cantor staved off the betrayal for a little while longer. The RNC/GOP intend to surrender the rule of law and the country with amnesty. The only thing stopping them is the 65% of the citizens that don’t want it.
We have to stop hlding our noses while voting.
Enabling CINO’s will only get us betrayal.
“And I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the events that followed, especially Cochran, the Cromnibus, etc., were outright revenge against us for taking out their designated speaker-to-be.”
Perhaps, but they were treating us like crap before we took out the beast. The pattern kept repeating and repeating: They would rule out a shutdown, then take Obama to the brink of a shutdown, and then cave. It made us look like total idiots.
If they REALLY wanted revenge after we slayed the beast, they would have passed Amnesty. The only thing stopping it was Boehner - the votes were (unfortunately) there in the House, when combined with Democrat votes. And don’t forget what The Beast also had in store for us - he was working with the black caucus to overturn the Supreme Court ruling allowing Texas (and other states) to have some say over voting rules. But that THANKFULLY died with him.
We came out ahead, way ahead. The leadership is now old and feeble - they’ll be out after this session.
