Revealed! Inside Look at Why GOP Won't Fight Obama

WASHINGTON – Why won’t Republican leadership in Congress fight President Obama?

It’s the question that frustrates 75 percent of GOP voters and an issue that has likely helped Donald Trump skyrocket in the polls.

Now, WND has obtained a revealing look into the thought process of the congressional Republican elite during a candid email exchange with a Senate leadership aide.

It showed why GOP leadership is apparently so reluctant to effectively confront Obama on such key issues as defunding executive amnesty, Obamacare and Planned Parenthood.

The dialogue also revealed why Republican leadership employs a strategy of confronting the president with words, but has expressed a reluctance to take risks and to use perhaps the only potent tool in lawmakers’ arsenal: the power of the purse.

It was not a confrontational exchange but one of substance. The Senate aide was gracious enough to take the time to spell out GOP leadership’s position clearly and thoughtfully. WND responded with what it believed to be the views of the GOP party base.

“No, they are just evil. These a-holes fought tooth and nail to get into office. Some even courted the tea party and pretended to be one of them. These people are not weak, they are liars and traitors.”

Couldn’t agree more.

I don’t know if you are joking or guessing, but there is substantiation for your comment.

Simply do a search for THE FRANKLIN SCANDAL.

The ‘parties’ were a way to gather data to use to blackmail those who are now our current set of politicians.

AND IT WORKED.

It’s funny that they are afraid of the extremist label, when they will be given that label regardless of their actions.

Spot-On!

Yes, Democrats and progressives are far more extreme; however, they usually control the narrative and will say that the GOP is extreme by default. The GOP leadership apparently fears being seen as extremists, but they don’t get they are just letting the opposition define them.

Based on what we NOW know about Dennis Hastert, I wouldn’t be surprised.

What we have here are pieces of sh*t who masquerade under the banner of the Republican Party who are a bunch of corrupt liars only out for their own welfare. They are beyond contempt.

The only way there can be real opposition is if all the Republicans determine they will resist no matter what information comes out.

But there are no money men waiting to start a new party. That is what got the ball rolling for the Republicans way back when.

Because they`re spineless weasels?

No, they`re weasels alright, but closet progressive sellouts with the nerve to stand up to their supposed base. And the devious cunning to keep fooling the many spineless idiots to afraid of leaving their 'lesser of two evils', republiCrat plantation.

So true, a bunch of cowards they are.

The liberals and their paid trolls do the same thing on comment sections, message boards and other social media. If you are telling them things they don't want other Americans to hear or discover for themselves, they start calling you an extremist. They will also accuse you of being racist to try to silence you. It's their favorite tactic these days but the key is to stand up to them.

It's pretty easy to explain to them why they are the extremists trying to undermine our Constitution, with its guaranteed freedoms and liberties, like the whole liberal/proggressive movement has been doing for the last century.

I also explain most conservatives are the exact opposite of extreme as we seek limited power and government in line with the Constitution. I tell them that is not extreme as opposed to what their movement has done for a long, long time. It usually leaves their heads spinning but they can't use that extreme BS on me anymore.

McConnell and Boehner are a little of both, cowards (but really, traitors to our Constitution) and they enjoy sharing liberal/progressive power with their fellow statists in Washington.

The Republicans in office are what we used to call pussy cats, pussy whipped, or just pussies.

QUESTION: What is the worst thing that would happen to them if they went “all out” for the de-funding of Obamacare, the EPA, Executive Amnesty, or Planned Parenthood?

ANSWER: They MIGHT lose their jobs in a couple of years. OH NO, the shame, the agony. Nearly all are millionaires and never have to fill in a time card for life.

Contrast that with the very real worry most Americans have of losing their houses, not being able to afford the new baby on the way, inept schooling, losing their $60K a year job and fighting for a $30K job that doesn’t service their debt or mortgage. Maybe even worry about unemployment, absolutely KNOWING that what little they have will not feed them after they can no longer work because of GOVT fiscal policies that drive the dollar to be worth $.03 of a 1940 dollar.

If the American people were not so calm, mellow and medicated, there would and should be a revolution, a change, BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY.
