Republican Mia Love Joins Congressional Black Caucus, Group She Wants To Reform
Daily Caller ^ | 1/6/15 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 01/07/2015 1:43:02 PM PST by Wilderness Conservative

Utah Rep. Mia Love, who recently became the first black female Republican ever elected to Congress, joined the Congressional Black Caucus, according to a Tuesday announcement — potentially bad news for the group.

Love, the former mayor of Saratoga Springs, has stated that she would likely join the CBC but would attempt drastic change from within the group, which tends to lean to the left.

A Marxist Black Caucus. You wouldn't be surprised to hear that most Black Liberals
are avid readers of books about past dictators and warlords like Genghis Khan.

As Minorities, Liberals want power to be shared, as Majorities they
will kill their enemies in the end. Starting with the Media who helps them.

We’ll see how that goes, but I don’t think she’s gonna have a lot of luck.

“There are plenty of sinners in the Democratic Party.”

How do you justify this statement? Democrats are naked about their socialism, and even their anti-Americanism.

They voted three times at their convention to wipe God out of their platform.

They are HONEST about their ideology.

The GOP is not. Period. Love is wearing this vote because she said not two months ago she wouldn’t do this. This is Peter lying thrice before dawn.

She said she wouldn’t do it, most of us didn’t believe her, or most other GOP statists, and it took exactly one vote.

Face it, she wouldn’t be in a position to get anything from leadership for years anyway. She could have voted this way, locked up her second term, and still worked with leadership on a good faith basis.

“I do think you’re part of the problem. I got here because you failed to stop something our constituents have clearly indicated they never wanted in the first place. I get what you were up against, but you had your devices and didn’t use them. This is one vote. There are going to be many others. I can use this one to get reelected when you end up caving to everything the Admin wants when the press forces you into it anyway. I can support you on other stuff, but you’ve been damaged goods for a very, very long time. It took me a long time to get elected, and I’d like to keep my job for at least another term. This vote underlines what I ran against - nothing here works right. Don’t take it personally.”

Mia Love...and other NEWBIE Rep's came in saying one thing...and then did another.

Just curious, what exactly was that? Did she run on a platform that promised she would vote out John Boehner?

There are plenty of sinners in the Democratic Party. Should it be OK to join that party and preach at them?

Why would you do that? Both you and I know that the Dem party is being given a pass on everything so why would you fall for the MSM's attempt to destroy Mia Love before she even takes office simply because she voted for Boehner?

Like I said in a previous post, there are 246 Republicans in the House of Representatives so why is the newest BLACK representative being singled out for her vote on Boehner and why are YOU attacking her for it?

“Go figure, 246 Republicans in the House of Representatives who had the opportunity to oust Boehner, and the Democrat party backed by the MSM convinces YOU to condemn the newbie Mia Love...LOL!”

Congratulations on the crazy post of the day. The story is about Mia so my comment is about Mia.

Maybe you should make some more posts with random CAPITALIZATION defending the Republican party.

From http://love4utah.com/

What we need right now in Washington are tough, consistent, tested leaders who put the American people first. For too long Congress has run up trillion dollar deficits, made promises it cannot keep, and failed to balance the budget. A change is needed, and that’s why I am running to represent Utah’s 4th congressional district in Congress. As the mayor of my city I have brought coalitions together to balance budgets, cut wasteful spending, keep taxes low, and limit the size and scope of government. I will do the same in Washington.

Boner doesn't put the American people first, imo.

Boner, has run up deficits and made promises and failed!!!

Mia Love said...she would do the same in Washington. And her first vote was for the same old, same old!!!

OK, you win, send this black chick back home to where she belongs...

Obviously Doug Owens should have been elected and that would have made you happy!

Doug Owens was the Democrat challenger that Mia Love defeated in her congressional election.

So you spent how many comments condemning Mia Love and you don't even know who she is, or who she ran against?????

Talk about stupid, you're right, we not only disagree but you don't even belong in this conversation...........Sheesh!

Ummm...once again. Keep telling us FReeper's all about you....

I will tell you...I gave many dollars to Mia Love's election. I thought I knew Mia..I'm disappointed...

I gathered that Owens was her challenger...

And I'm certainly NOT stupid. Ha!!

I've not been happy with Mia's first days in Washington...I'm not alone.

If you want to continue labeling folks like me stupid..and don't belong in the conversation...go ahead. LOL!!

I say....keep digging!!!
