Yesterday’s Senate vote on the confirmation of Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s nominee to succeed Attorney General Eric Holder, was a classic example of why talk among conservatives of forming a third party alternative to the establishment Republican Party will not die.
Not only did the usual jelly-backed Senate Republicans vote to confirm Lynch, they were led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose job is, ostensibly, to be the leader of the conservative opposition to Obama and his lawless progressive agenda.
In moving the Lynch nomination McConnell broke a pre-election promise that no attorney general nominee would be considered in his Senate if that nominee supported Obama’s executive amnesty, something that Lynch testified she supports.
So McConnell’s vote for Lynch was a sort of “go to hell” moment that conservatives should recognize for what it is: Mitch McConnell saying directly to the conservative Republican grassroots and the conservative movement that opposed Lynch that, despite the fact that conservative voters handed back the Senate majority to the Republican Party in 2014 to make him Senate Majority Leader, he not only doesn’t care what they think, he will go out of his way to disrespect them and confound their policy goals.
Lynch, who testified under oath that she would readily carry out policies contrary to the Constitution could have – indeed should have – been stopped by Republicans in the Senate, but she wasn’t.
In fact ten Republicans voted for Lynch, despite a substantial outpouring of conservative opposition from the grassroots of the Republican Party, the conservative blogospere and conservative commentators and opinion writers all of whom argued that Loretta Lynch would be as bad or worse than Eric Holder –

Stop changing the subject. I do not vote the lesser of two evils. I did not say a candidate does not have evil. We all have evil. You poor deluded soul...
Tell me when I said I wanted a candidate without evil.
While you’re at it explain why you’ve gone all “concern troll” over Cruz.
We will never vote for Bush nor Christy.
Shove it up your filthy liberal-”progressive” RINO butt.
Give my regards to logic_design. His well deserved ZOT must surely put a damper on your promotion of big government nanny statism.

You're right, the subject you presented was a simple one word subject "Bullshit". I did't care to address that one.
The subject I chose was to name the perfect (free of evil) candidate.
Wisely, you are attempting to divert.
I’ve covered that ground with you.
The problem was you were so spitting mad that you must have missed it.
I’m sure it’s still there.
If Jeb gets the nomination, it will be time for a third party. With Jeb as our nominee, we lose when we win.
Sorry, that subject came from your own imagination. But rather than continue a discussion with someone incapable of remaining on a logical plane, I'll bid you farewell, and say a prayer for you.
“I wish the Republican Party would fight at least half as hard against the Democrats as it does against it’s own base.”
They have absolutely no need to do anything to try and please it’s base so long as we keep voting for them no matter what they do. Perhaps they would quit fighting us and actually start voting as we wish they would, if they no longer could automatically depend on our vote, just because there isn’t anyone better.
The subject was the one you posted in post #95.
Prior to that, the subject that I had put forth was the fact that everyone is forced to ‘chose between the lessor of two evils’ when they vote.
Those who tell themselves otherwise are deluding themselves.
While I appreciate your prayers, it those deluded folks who really need your prayers. It would make them better informed voters.
I’ll be watching for you to ride the lightening, troll.
Say “Hi” to logic_designer!
I think the GOPe Koolaid rotted his brain...
Tell that to the RINO apologist.
I confound you with just a few words, and somehow you think that because of your ignorance I’m going to be zotted?
How conceited.
My you sound so “progressive.”
Most likely. It's what happens when one jettisons their moral groundings for relativism. Gradually, the "lesser of two evils" morphs into not just a voting option, it becomes a categorical imperative. On a national scale, this leads to greater and greater decay, and the leaders in Washington come to realize they can get away with anything they want.
The claims of intellectual superiority are a sure sign of his “progressive” Liberal D-Bag status.
He sounds annoyingly a lot like John F’n Kerry.
Conservatives to Mitch McConnell: You First.
"He DEEPLY resents that he was challenged last year"
Well we DEEPLY resent that our country is being systematically destroyed while he and Boehner do absolutely NOTHING to stop it.
NO STAY HOME DON'T VOTE...THANK YOU s/Barack
AMEN...but they don't
I am so disappointed that the people of KY reelected this low-life scum bag. Nothing we can do now except hope that he gets a brain aneurysm and drops dead. The sooner the better.
