We can always count on the sun to rise in the morning, the sky to be blue, and on Republicans in congress to cave at the slightest pressure whatsoever.
Exactly why the Republican party should cease to exist in its current form.
It is indeed time for the Republicans to man-up and throw out their entire leadership in both houses of congress. None of them have a lick of sense, and got steamrolled.
Agree it’s either time for new leadership....or a new party of true conservatives with principals that mean something.
Capitulating to Obama and Reid for a 2 month extension was a height of political cowardice. Are there no Republicans with fortitude who can assume a leadership role?
The special committee failed, too. What a surprise that was.
Oh me,it’s always the Republicans who cave. So now what happens to the oil line? What else are these gutless wonders going to cave on. Every doggone time there is a standoff on some rule in our congress the republicans cave to the uncaveable demorats. What in the world is going to happen to the conservatives in this country? We elect some who say they will stand up for our beliefs and they cave to the progressive communists!!!! Now we have the pappa Bush annointing Romney...a progressive republican?
” A muted John Boehner..........”
The muted message on this payroll tax fiasco goes to the top, including, McConnell, and Cantor, and their RINO cohorts, who have said nothing and done nothing to teach the facts. There is NEVER a MESSAGE! An unforgivable omission of promoting conservative principles, in unison, loud and clear. A lost opportunity, designed to see us fail. What other excuse is there?
newnhdad said this in another thread, and he is right:
Rush said this would happen a few weeks ago. The winds are not shifting, Obama is toast and this is why the media is doing this crap. This is what happens when you only control 1/2 of 1/3rd of the government. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. This was neither a win or a lose, from what I gather because in the end, the sticking point will be addressed. This was more of a Reid temper tantrum with Obama not acting like an adult.
What this is, is a prime example of why we need to regain control the Senate and get back the presidency. Because if this was a republican president, we all know the media would be bitching about how they’re gutting social security with this “tax cut” and they’d run out a bunch of old people in front of the cameras whining about insolvency.
Sit back, relax and enjoy Christmas..
” - - - “Sometimes it’s politically difficult to do the right thing,” Boehner said.”
We pay you “Boehner-Head,” $172,000 plus benefits, staff, etc. per year to have the spine to protect us from the destruction of the SOCIALIST-DEMOCRATs in the US Federal Government.
Now that Senator Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell has joined the Socialist-Democrats, you are the ONLY non-Socialist leader in ALL of the US Federal Government.
We, the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY, don’t give a damn about your personal “political difficulties,” because what we want is PROTECTION from the destructive might of the extreme, far-left, Socialist Democrats including Chairman Obama, “Bottleneck” Reid, Ex-Bottleneck Princess Nancy, and the far left-wing MSM’s Court of Public Opinion.
Boehner, you stood on the Battlefield, and then ran away like the coward that you really are. We will not trust you to fight for us again. Now we will fight them AND you.
WHAT THE HELL ARE WE PAYING “THE BOEHNER BOYS” TO DO?
SPINELESS, COWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now is the time for all good men, and women to come to the aid of the Nation! Time to throw out the spineless politicians who voted to cave in to the Socialist-Democrat Wing of the once proud Democrat Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Print their names on this thread.
Well nobama will get to Hawaii in time to celebrate Christmas.
I’ve defended Boehner up to now. No more. This was sheer foolishness.
Boehner and McConnell have got to go and real soon.
this could turn out to be a good deal.
What a bunch of butt holes. This entire ‘leadership’ team has absolutely no sense of ‘leadership’. They are one big waste. Not even earning an honest day’s pay for their roles. Good grief, I would trade away their seats and political careers away to RATs, in return for one honest conservative LEADER!
This never should have gotten to the point for us to cave on anything. They should have just passed a clean bill and got it over with from the very start - it wasn’t the right battle to wage at this time, and they played right into the Democrats’ hands. Obama’s approval numbers improved, and they gave him an opening he couldn’t create for himself to increase his stature. This was totally ridiculous. They completely lost control of the dialog and this time the MSM didn’t even have to assist with any bias - they just flubbed it themselves.
I notice they waited until Rush went on Christmas vacation.
I’m glad they “caved”
Here’s why:
“I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it’s possible.” - Milton Friedman.
TAXES ARE TOO HIGH. I don’t care who is proposing a tax cut — even if it’s coming from the devil himself — count me as a supporter. The idea that the GOP was ever opposed to payroll tax cut was INSANE!
