Was it just me or were other people actually walking around with a bit of a smile, with a slightly lighter, more carefree stride during those weeks that the government was shut down? Man, I was hoping, really hoping that it would go on and on and we’d be seeing the cutbacks affect more and more personnel, showing the country that...hey, the nation works without all that stuff that they do down there in Washington.
“I feel so far removed from the GOP.”
Just remember...you didn’t leave the GOP, the GOP left you!
Like McConnell...
The punch line to the whole affair. Just another dickhead trying to get elected, so much for principal. I'll take Cruz in 2016 even if I have to write his name in, this clown can be the next boyfriend of John McCain for all I care.
“Known as “Kuddles” to friends,”
HAAAA HAAAAA HaHA......What a F-—g. I would like to take
him to the job site and introduce him to the crew.
Democrats get their way by SCARING THE TIMID AND IGNORANT...period. They are masters of propaganda.
The Republicans “play nice” and always take the “high road” and lose every time.
Fact is that propaganda works and as soon as the Republicans start to scare the public in telling them what is really happening to them or raising the specter of what is coming, they will never win anything!
He lost me right after this statement: “But the fact is, its passage will avoid a government shutdown. That’s crucial.”
It’s crucial to keep the new slave masters’ income flowing.
but did the GOP even try to explain what printing a trillion dollars a year will do to America? I didn't hear it if they did.
I think taking little bites at the apple is the best we can do for now. The time for bold action will be after we take back the Senate.
He AND Graham.....both are traitors, but will do this so they can boast in their re-election campaigns that they are ‘conservative’ knowing full well their votes don’t matter. The fight was in the House, and we were betrayed by our own Congressmen.
The bar has been lowered since Reagan to the level that now the two parties are fighting for power on the basis of which one is more efficient at giving away the most free stuff. And this has "saved" the Republican Party? For what? Does Townhall require drug testing? It should.
Nothing but a Vichy Capo.
Kudlow makes the argument for collaboration as a tactic for future Republican success. The question is, to what purpose Republican success? More deficit spending? More debt? Bigger government? Amnesty for illegal aliens? Perpetuate ObamaCare?
Maybe just the thought of Republicans in office sends a thrill up his leg. No thrills for me until Republicans stand for something worthwhile and act upon it.
I do not want to avoid a government shutdown.
Not even a 100% one.
It isn’t on my list of priorities, and it never will be.
Any Compromise with the democrats is ALWAYS a win for the left.
Individual rights, especially economic rights(and a grotesquely large federal government IS an attack on our rights) are NON-NEGOTIABLE.
The GOP has been dead for me since Read My Lips George Bush.
Flame Away...
Once again we are in a Go along Get along BIG G’MENT is best situation where the RINO Republicans will once again demand we vote for a RINO or a RINO’s BIG G’MENT less personal freedom slavery solution.
I see the RINO leaning people on FR coming out in droves in a few weeks as the primary season starts. Texas with an early March primary should be a bellwether for GOPe vs T.E.A. party voters
The GOP did leave me...you are correct.
But what does it really matter who left who. I have no idea what to do. I refuse to vote for another RINO. I can’t stomach it any longer. But not voting is putting a democrat in office.
The is all sorts of wrong
I meant “This is all sorts of wrong.”
Republicans will face intense pressure over unemployment benefits

[snip] The imminent expiration of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program for 1.3 million Americans is mostly being treated as a fait accompli in Washington... (Dems have created an interactive map showing how many people in each state stand to lose benefits.)... This strategy includes placing Op ed pieces by Democrats in papers that serve the districts of top Republicans, such as this one by Rep. Sander Levin in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the largest paper in John Boehner’s home state. The game plan is granular: One Democrat points out to me that stats are available on how many would lose benefits on the county level, and that Dems are trying to push these numbers into the coverage, because it is tangible for people in local communities.

Thanks Kaslin.
