Well, you do have to make a choice. I think that it’s nonsense to make statements like yours without being willing to embrace the consequences. Your response is much more encouraging that what many others on this forum are saying.
The childish BS is coming from the pollyannaish notion of many that conservatism can win by purging from our ranks all of those who are not sufficiently pure, as determined by some self appointed vigilantes.
Fine. You embrace the consequenses of Maj Leader McConnell with only 52-53 seats and nothing but reelected RINO’s like Graham, Cochran, Roberts, Alexander, et al that won’t do anything because they won’t be able to stop any filibusters and the Dems will filibuster everything. McConnell has already stated he’s restoring it after Reid recently stopped if for judicial appoinments.
So the MSM will hammer them for “doing nothing” even though Reid does nothing and so McConnell and his cronies will go Obama-lite to “work together” to “get things done” that will be increasing the debt ceiling, increased spending with CR’s, giving Obama his appointees because “he is president and won two elections and deserves to pick his judges” like McCain enjoys saying. Look at the worst Libs on the Supreme Court and they got plenty of RINO “Yes” votes.
Boehner already has given away the House’s power of the purse. He and McConnell won’t shut down the government to stop increased spening or fight an increase in the debt limit.
They won’t repeal Obamacare. They’ll fund it and talk about “making it better”. They’ll fall for every fake crises and spend more to “solve it” (remember TARP?).
So, please enlighten me on ANY conservative posistion that will be taken up and backed by these worthless RINO’s.
I’ll bet you $100 we hear McConnell, etc. after a few months of being in charge of Congress with say something like “we can’t move our agenda because we can’t stop a filibuster and we can’t override an Obama veto so what we really need is the presidency too in 2016”.
Then if we get Romney, Bush or Chrisitie shoved down our throats in 2016 it will be like 2005-06 and the GOP will take more light bulbs away. They’ll push “immigration reform” yet again. McCain will go back to saying tax rate cuts should be time limited (as he did before 2008 and then changed his mind for political reasons). They won’t seal the border because they think the “dreamers” all come here “out of love”.
So please, give me the logic to give RINO’s and DEM-LITES more power other than you like an R past their name. I actually believe the reason they’ve done practically nothing to really blow up the IRS over thier political oppression is because their fingerprints are on it too. Remember, McConnell has said he wants to “destory the Tea Party”.
Good Luck.
