It seems plausible as an expanation for Roberts.
The GOP weasels are just bought off, in my opinion.
Maybe they are.
Maybe they’re just the other side of the Big Government coin.
They’re just Old and Worn out and couldn’t care less
..more like extortion....
Probably not, but certainly bought or bribed.
Then get rid of them. If you are able to blackmailed, you are probably not fit to serve in office. What are they hiding? Extramarital affairs? Drug addictions? Just the same old politician secrets.
I think nearly everyone in DC is being blackmailed.
From my conversations with a congressman its the way business is done. He says maybe 15 or 20 really clean congressmen exist.
They are there to make money....lots of it and in that pursuit, their political survival is all that matters to them! Sad but true!
There may be some kind of blackmail going on. But what we as conservatives and even normal gullible Republicans suffer from is a leadership that has been so corrupted by the environment in which they all find themselves. DC. Our seat of Federal Government that has come to be synonymous with corruption, deceit and downright evil in my opinion.
It is an alluring place. Parties, media pandering for interviews while at the same time shaping their interviewees with sighs and sounds of disapproval for wrong answers, praise for right answers. That coveted Sunday national discussion panel where they are lauded and praised for their willingness to work across the aisle and not be a [ooga booga] tea bagger.
Power, perks and prominence. Greed, vanity, loss of morals and commitment supplanted by every manner of vice - corruption, self-delusion and illogical rationalization for quixotic capitulations to evil (here, Obama) in the name of “winning the WH in 2016 or getting that damned elusive Hispanic vote.”
These bastards are just that. Bastards who lie, cheat and when greed is presented with opportunity - steal. Steal big.
And for that, all they have to do is engineer a few show votes and then come home once a year, two years, or 6 years and lie their collective asses off.
I know what I want with DC. I just can’t say it here.
It is a certainty that some of them probably are being blackmailed. As a whole, it is more probable that both Democrats and Republicans at the highest levels have the same agenda and goals- loot the public treasury to reward their supporters, in order win the next election, so the public treasury can be looted some more.
No.
You ever wonder why Republicans never promote conservatism or conservative ideas or solutions or philosophies, and I mean not only to they not promote them, they cannot even speak of them in any way?
It’s because they aren’t conservative, and they don’t believe any of that.

The fact is that this isn’t even a ridiculous question shows how truly desperate our situation has become.
Saw something yesterday that said dismissively Trump supporters are just angry....well why not? We’re supposed to support the same gang that has been screwing us over and over??
Yes. Of course.
Marxists and Leninists believe anything by which they succeed is fair to do. (It’s for the greater good and all that.)
The outing of Dennis Hastert couldve been a signal to some in Congress who may be thinking about bucking the current “system”.

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Somehow or another someone took a burdizzo to most of our representatives.
Yes. Remember Dennis Hastart? Warning.
