Pat Roberts: 'I've Heard My Marching Orders' to Stay Conservative

After surviving a primary challenge and winning a general election, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) declared that he heard his "marching orders" from Kansas voters to be conservative.

"I've heard my marching orders loud and clear," Roberts, a Marine veteran, said during his Tuesday evening victory speech. "I will be bold. I will be conservative. And I will be constructive."

Roberts, who has been against amnesty legislation since the 1980s, survived his primary challenge against Milton Wolf because there was no daylight between Roberts and Wolf on illegal immigration....

As of now...just words.

We will be watching.

[DoodleDawg]

On the plus side for Roberts he doesn’t have to come back to Kansas for another 6 years.

[Resettozero]

But you can read those FReepers who still want to scrap the GOP very badly and claim they will take their votes elsewhere.

The put-up or shut-up time for the GOPe has arrived. NOW, not 2016 or 2018 or 2020 or 2022 or 2024.

NOW...or never.

Gotta ping Impy to this one.

"U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, in keeping with his campaign promise, has introduced his first bill of the new Congress -- sweeping legislation to fight overly burdensome regulations issued by the Obama Administration which hurt the nation’s struggling economy."

Uh oh. Bad news for the Roberts haters. He's now safely been sworn in for a second term, doesn't have to face Kansas voters for another six years (if ever, since the odds are he will retire next time) -- and yet he's NOT behaving like the "liberal RINO" you falsely smeared this good man as. Rather, he's still the solid conservative voice he's ALWAYS been.

A lot of us who have ACTUAL RINOs "representing" us in the Senate (for example, I have abortion loving gun grabbing socialist Mark Kirk) would crawl over broken glass to have a Senator as "bad" as Roberts.

I might remind you that the Bible tells us "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Shame on you for trying to purge a great conservative while worthless RINOs who truly DESERVE to lose were given a complete pass.

In the meantime, your crow is served. Eat up, gentleman. You'll be having a lot of it over the next six years:

He has been coming to Kansas more often, although he still arranges to be in very small venues with a carefully selected crowd. He has also started a newsletter, something that he found unnecessary during his earlier terms. This article, of course, was the day after the election, the proof will be in the pudding of coming days and coming votes.

>>> This article, of course, was the day after the election, the proof will be in the pudding of coming days and coming votes. <<

The press release I just posted was released today, months after the election. As I said, he's now begun another term and doesn't have to worry about voters for six years, if ever.

[centurion316]

I’ll let you know if he is spotting in these parts. The airport and Kaufmann Stadiun don’t count.

[Impy]

They won’t eat that bird.

I know what they’ll say “We have Milton Wolf to thank for scaring him straight”. and the really dumb ones “We have Greg Orman to thank to scaring him straight”.

While you call Impy I'm calling bullshit.

According to Conservative Review Pat Roberts (liberty score-(D) 62%) has cast three votes since the November election:

(1) Stop Government Land Grab

Roberts voted against the conservative position.

(2) Advance $1.1 Trillion Spending Bill that Funds Executive Amnesty

Roberts voted against conservative position (Immediately after election Roberts does not walk the walk rather he talks the con) and funds Obamacare and amnesty for the rest of the fiscal year.

(3) Declare Obama's Executive Amnesty Unconstitutional

Roberts votes conservative position.

(Here's where Roberts talks the con)

The website offers these general comments:

Throughout his 47 years in Washington, Roberts has never publicly led any major conservative initiative.

Due to his lack of a consistent conservative record, influential conservative groups, including the Club for Growth, Senate Conservatives Fund, Tea Party Patriots and the Madison Project have endorsed Roberts’ opponent, Milton Wolf, in the 2014 election

Dr. Milton Wolf is a RINO—he once shook hands with Bob Dole. True conservatives know that only peridontist and patriot, Dr. Hilton Fox, who has never been sullied by having taken a political position or even registered to vote until last week, can clean up Washington.
