Senate Republicans emerged Wednesday from the Capitol meeting that ended the shutdown and debt ceiling crisis at least for a couple of months, saying,

Ah...but principles, principles, principles were preserved by not voting for the 50% conservative Romney.

Instead we have the 100% Marxist fascist.

Good job.

While they are standing around stroking their priciples like some metrofag in a sweater’s cat, we are choking and drowning in the cesspool.

Nothing like making grand meaningless gestures. Yeah buddy...can’t wait for the next one.

I'm going to state something the guys can't. I'm totally fed up with the women in the US Senate, and wouldn't want another one unless she has some real solid conservative credentials. The gals get there and act like it's the DC quilting bee. As long as you sit around, quilt, and share stories, it doesn't matter how the quilt comes out.

Keep in mind that Ayotte fooled Sara Palin.

Yes, because the GOP is known to hammer their message and get it directly to the People in any semblance that can easily be heard, digested and understood.

BWAHAHahahahaha....

No, they never ‘fought’ for anything. Like last night, they came out, shrug their shoulders and say “Well, we TRIED...”. Then, both parties hit the local watering hole to yuck it up.

And yet, NOBODY voiced their opposition (OK, MAYBE Bachman) nor ran against.

If that doesn’t show a go-along-to-get-along mind-set, I don’t know what will.

In 3 years we should have most of these assholes OUT of office and new/fresh blood ready to fight. Pipe dream, I know.

I think the learning that still needs to be done: never let the judicial branch anywhere NEAR the legislative branch.

Unfortunately, even our esteemed Founders let that one ‘slip through’ the cracks.

As for your point, you’ll note even those here fall into that group. “Paying into S.S., Medicare” and the ‘leave your hands off *my*...’ crowd. To the detriment of their own brood (taxes/etc.). Different teat, same big gov’t sow.

Are you reading comprehension impaired? I am saying that sitting home in a snit allowed Obama to be reelected. That led to this latest fiasco.

No, my point is that voting for establishment Republicans gives us the same results as staying at home and letting communists like Obumba get elected. There IS NO DIFFERENCE between the two parties anymore. They both spend like drunken sailors and allow nameless administration bureaucrats dictate too many aspects of our daily lives. Bush had plenty of opportunities to make large REAL cuts in the size of the federal government, but what did he do? - MAKE IT BIGGER!!!!!

No matter what the Republican "platform" says, they are big government liberals who lie to our faces while expecting us to just "trust" them. The proof of this is that while the majority of them "say" they want to abolish Obamacare, they are trying to come up with "their" version of "comprehensive health care reform". While they "say" they are concerned with securing our borders, they are coming up with "their" version of "immigration reform". And a big one, while they say they honor the 2nd Amendment, they are coming up with "their" version of "common sense gun control".

Today's Republican is yesterday's tax and spend Democrat (and today's Democrat is yesterday's USSR communist). How many more times will we allow them to lie to us?? A pox on all of them. I want a divorce! It is obvious that patriotic Constitutional Americans CANNOT coexist with the current federal government. Let them have the Northeast, Rust Belt, and West Coast. Leave the rest of us ALONE to govern ourselves as the Founding Fathers intended!!

Geez another crybaby ...I’m taking my ball home and never vote GOP again. How’s this present a better healthcare plan, hammer the Obamcare rollout. Gave better message on how to get the economy going. ....And win some elections

Not possible, the permanent welfare class will always vote Democrat, and they now outnumber us. With the addition of millions of illegal aliens, a Constitutional conservative will NEVER win in this Ammerika. It's now necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another.

I blame the conservatives who refused to vote in the last election. With them we could have Romney. Even with his faults, I firmly believe we would be out, or almost out, of the nightmare we are experiencing. We are our own worst enemy!!

Is that you Karl Rove?

Are you that unbelievably naive?

The ONLY thing Statist Romney would have done was change the name to Romneycare then call it a day.

Romney is a Statist who is ambivalent about our Founding.

Obama is a Statist who is a malignant narcissist, with a seething red-hot hatred for all things American, and a Marxist desire to destroy our Republic.

She totally ignored the decades of suffering the people are going to endure because people like her didn’t stand up to tyranny when they had the chance. The future of her daughter is black. Ayotte should weep for what she has done to her own family.

Excellent point. She should be forced to read and write your words 100x.

This low-IQ, pathetic woman used her children as a crutch.

She is another of a long line of evil idiots in Congress.

FYI, I did vote the Romney. However, I do not hold anything at all against those who didn't.

In the future I will NEVER again cast a vote for any Statist.

Had insomnia last night, so turned on Tv & there was Craig Ferguson.

He said EACH & EVERY person in Congress should be swept out-—never to return.

After the overt behavior of the National Park Service & the National Forest Service the past 15 days, I think we have 2 more agencies that can be shut down.

Turn over all responsibility for the Forests & other parks to the states. Get the green shirts out of our lives.

Well we do have some good people... Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and Louie Gohmert all deserve to stay and they have staunch allies... but 2/3 of everyone in DC should be unemployed and changing careers!
