Free Republic

I understand that Free Republic is a place to post and discuss items of interest to conservatives and patriots. I am not sure why an author’s posting original material would be “pimping” as opposed to posting someone else’s work. If I am violating a rule of the site, I will certainly correct my mistake.

It is my hope to bring to the attention of FReepers thoughts based on my experience not readily found elsewhere. Case in point regarding the current posting, there are tons of items repeating parrot-like “Democratic filibuster” — how many have you seen explaining that cloture is the real issue? My intent is to avoid same-old, same-old. We’ll see if I succeed.

As for being a “pol” making “campaign stops,” at my site www.repealfatca.com please note an interview with me posted in ABC News. (”Meet the Man You’ve Never Heard of Who Desperately Wants to Be Vice President” Not my headline, by the way. I would have said “diligently,” not “desperately.”) I am not a politician and am not (yet) a declared candidate. I have publicly expressed an interest in the GOP Vice Presidential in large part because no one else has — in *either* party, ever, as far as I can tell. Accordingly, as exceedingly small as my chances might be (though probably no worse than Sen. Lindsey Graham’s chances of getting the Presidential nod), announcing my Veep availability seemed a good perspective from which to speak out on issues, which is my main interest. Keep in mind that there are no Vice Presidential primaries nor any pre-nomination debates. Hence, no need for candidacy or “campaign stops.”

The Republican Congress just took a dive and handed Obama a two-year budget OKing all his spending priorities. But that does not eliminate the need -- or the duty -- of Congress to ax from spending bills funding for Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, amnesty and anti-gun policies via Executive Order, etc. The problem is that the GOP leadership is afraid to chop funding in the House because they know Democrats would kill it in the Senate, thus freeing Obama from any blame for a government shutdown. But the much-cited "Democratic filibuster" is a myth. The real problem is CLOTURE. This can be fixed, giving Congress a much stronger hand with Obama. In this TheJIM!gram, I explain how with the benefit of my almost 18 years working at the Senate.

Dear all, I apologies for the crummy formatting! This is my first post on Free Republic but it won’t be my last! I think I made the mistake of not taking out the hyperlinks, will correct in the future. You can see the original with sources — including visuals == at www.repealfatca.com, subpage TheJIM!gram. Note other commentaries on 1. “It’s the Cloture, Stupid!” (How to defund Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, amnesty via Obama’s pen,etc.); 2. The disappearance of the founding American ethnos from our super-legislature (a/k/a the Supreme Court); and 3. BENGHAZI: What Neither Hillary not the GOP Want to Talk About.

Go to original source link for essential information in hyperlinks. Now that Hillary and Bernie have admitted that the "S-word" is A-OK with the Democrats, it's time for the Stupid Party to stop letting the red Evil Party get away with chromatic theft of Reagan's deep, rich, true blue!
