"Not My Idea,
But I Suppor it.
Death to America!"

The Democrats and their allies the GOPe would like very much to defund the military and render it useless. The left has always feared the military and when in power has always chipped away at it, especially purging the officer corps. Carter did it. Clinton did it. Hussein has taken the practice to new levels of destruction. The GOPe will ultimately give him what demands and will give him a lot more than he asked for in the first place.
Mitch and the gopes would only use the Nuclear Option with Democrats’ permission.
The rats couldn’t care less.
Please stop it.
McConnell should have made the change when he became majority leader instead of keeping it like it was
This is why it is important for those states that have a senatorial election to support and vote for a conservative candidate especially in the rats districts
Of course, but my point is that since he didn’t have the courage to make that move then, that Ryan’s rise to Speaker and the results of Tuesday’s election “should” send the message that it is now time to take that step.
I can honestly say that I can’t stand a Democrat, can’t stand Congress, can’t stand Obama...... they all want to destroy this country and I’m afraid that 2016 will be too late.
I’d like to be a fly on the wall when Bevin calls ol’ Mitch to the Govenor’s mansion for a little talk.

Amen. But, then McConnell would actually have to vote honestly and he can’t do that or the Chamber of Commerce would be mad.
The Chamber likes the idea of keeping spending constant.
Remember that the GOP used to be very good at "wooden gun" cutbacks. During the Gilded Age, the Masters of the Universe fell in love with their tax rates (high protective tariffs that the gomers and plowboys paid, low everything else). They hated it when the 20th century drove their taxes up, for the privilege of continuing to speak English and not having to see Russian or German or Japanese battleships anchored in the Delaware River.
Every chance they've gotten, since World War I, they've tried to go back to the military establishment (and tax rates) we had when our biggest military problem was Geronimo or Pancho Villa. They did it at the end of the Great War, and the country's new tank force almost blinked out of existence as Congress made appropriations suitable for horse cavalry. The Coolidge Administration signed the Treaty of London so they could sink brand-new battlecruiser hulls and not pay for completing them (two of them were converted into USS Lexington and Saratoga).
There's a long tradition of "GibsmedatPeaceDividend!" in the Army and Navy, and until the Carter Communists moved in and started stripping military budgeting for GibsmedatSocialGoodies, the principal perps were always Republicans.
At least Republicans did and do not fear the military. they did not purge out all the competent officers and NCOs. They just trimmed the whole thing. The Democrats shrink it and cripple what is left.
