They are old, I'll give them that. But what we need is something new. A party that seeks to roll back progressivism.
“McConnell just needs to change the filibuster rules to a 51 majority...”
That makes as much sense as saying “Obama needs to do what’s best for the country and....”
“For the life of me I can’t see how...”
Because you’re still looking at this as a case cowardliness or stupidity on the part of DC Republicans. It’s not. What they’re doing is intentional.
BULL.
You guys made him Speaker. You made him Speaker despite his ineffectualness, his deviousness, his treachery, his lying, his repeated capitulation to Obama, and hundreds of thousands of letters demanding he not be Speaker.
Your cred is ZERO.
I stopped donating sometime ago.
Republican-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate and they can’t get anything done guess who owns them.
Notwithstanding the disagreement, I have no idea why McConnell needing to change the filibuster rule is in any way related to 0bama needing to do what's best for the country....
The difference I see between mcconnell and say sessions or cruz is that the latter two have courage enough to stand up for what they think is right. They are not skeered.
So, you're fine with Harry Reid as Senate Majority leader, Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and the likes of Obama in the White House?
I bet you sat out the last two elections too, right?
It is ridiculous to attempt to blame this on the Republican leadership. Any one with the basic math skills necessary to count to 67 knows there was no way for Congress to stop Obama’s amnesty plans.
Lets not forget McConnell in all of this.
Yes there is, don’t fund it.
Simple as that.
Stand your ground, fund everything else, if the Democrats reject it, they are the ones shutting anything down.
If they fund the illegal amnesties for illegal aliens it will be used in court to show they support them by funding them.
I've had that same thought. Boner and McConnell might be more accurately called shameless liars and ruthless politicians running one ruse after another to keep conservatives voting Republican and to prevent them from bolting the party. Their ruses and strategems truly are aimed at conservatives and not at Obama and the Dims.
Disagree. The Bill by the House was dead on correct. McConnel is the ass not Boehner.
All talk.
However, they don't care about your paltry 20's or 100's. They are getting millions from businesses who are rigging the system and making 10s of millions.
he should never have been speaker and should never have been re-elected speaker and now they pretend to care if he caves???
He has been caving for years now
We had a good run since we shook off the British, but now we will be just as oppressed as if the British had won the Revolutionary War.
Among the lawmakers who have signed onto the letter are Salmon and Reps. Steve King of Iowa, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Dave Brat of Virginia and Jim Jordan of Ohio, who is the chairman of the new conservative Freedom Caucus.
Dave Brat of Virginia
Worked my tail off to get rid of that weasel Cantor and replace him with Dave Brat.
So far he’s made us proud
