Nor does it preserve a people's heritage, in the face of an ongoing multi-generational onslaught; one, which the self-proclaimed "leadership" appear completely unable to understand, as they shrink from confrontation like so many whipped curs!
We are cursed with incompetents, who will only really fight to prevent wiser folk from rising to the challenge.
Pathetic!
How the heck can we find the time to run our part of the government? These deals we are working on for our corporate donors (oops...almost wrote "clients!") just soak up time and attention.
Since we won a majority, there has just been sheer Hell to pay. The one bright spot is our staffing. Democrats to a man! They'll get us through this.
Affectionately,
Your Republican Congressman
” Id like to know what the GOP strategy was other than run some RINO squish that will handily lose to the liberal democrat.”
Make that 2 who would like to know.
See my tagline.
While its true that only one senator, Mississippis Roger Wicker, felt compelled to disagree with the contention that the Earths climate is warming, most Republicans voted against a provision that would credit humankind with significantly contributing to the problem. That is, needless to say, wildly at odds with scientific consensus across the globe; and dismissing the conclusions of essentially all of the worlds qualified scientists is yet another thing your nice neighbor-accountant would be unlikely to do.That's a bare-faced lie.
The RINOS have no idea how intense our fury is!
GOP/RNC seems to enjoy taking pointless stands and claiming they tried, except when it matters.
Then they go all Sturmabteilung on the conservatives and whine about how “unreasonable” we are, until they want our votes.
Then they suddenly “discover” their “conservative roots”.
CRUZ to Victory with Ted. Two professors have said that he’s the most intelligent student they’ve ever seen.
A mule-iphant?
“The GOP-e would much prefer to be in the minority as long as they can all keep their committee seats and have a say in how to spend $4 trillion a year of federal money we do not have”
I try to post some version of this every day.
1/2 the pork, and NONE of the pressure of leadership.
“GOP/RNC seems to enjoy taking pointless stands and claiming they tried, except when it matters.”
YES!
EXCEPT when it matters.
Netanyahu is fine, but it has NOTHING to do with domestic policy. Yet FReeper after FReeper now say Boehner is coming around. Pathetic!
The thing about the Tea Party groups who are only interested in lower taxes for themselves is they’re part of the problem We constitutional conservatives have been all-in for no higher taxes, even those of us who aren’t affected. The Tea Party wants a coalition? Then the members best condemn in strongest terms the slaughter of the pre-born and demand that the invasion of the US be thwarted and reversed.
I know that heart is in the right place when you post "reminder articles" like this for us to read. But, as I'm sure you know, they are painful to read.
Where to start. Where to start.
OK. How about this gem:
"And while there are plenty of GOPers in Congress who care deeply about which party holds 1600 Pennsylvania, there are also more than a few who think they were elected to change Washington.".
This might mean "change it back" since, after all, this Salon-Idiot (S-I) certainly voted for a Closet Muslim who's goal was to "fundamentally change the United States of America". One would have though the S-I would favor such a move.
And then there is the inevitable "... That is, needless to say, wildly at odds with scientific consensus across the globe; and dismissing the conclusions of essentially all of the worlds qualified scientists ..." when referring to the GOP vote against his imaginary human caused climate change.
I could go on but you get the idea.
Consider me fully "reminded" of where Salon stands and the fact that yes, liberals are fools.
I say again. The Uniparty must be destroyed.
These articles flesh out the MenSeekingMen’s 2016 playbook which we need to know NOW, not in late 2016.
The GOP will have both houses to deal with, and have yet to come out of the Obama closet
to stop this insane madman in the WH from doing more damage.
Americans voted for change, this time the change is to stop Obama, and that is what
the Democrats call a Mandate. Lets exercise this mandate PEOPLE!
First of all, everyone is affected by higher taxes and spending, whether they realize it or not.
Second, I disagree with your other point. One of the reasons the left has been so successful in pushing their agenda is they learned a long time ago the power of single issue organizing. The people who run the various leftie organizations are all hard core socialists, but they don’t try to push the whole agenda with every organization. That way they can get support from people who don’t necessarily agree on their whole agenda. That allows them to add anyone who agrees on any issue to their coalition. What you suggest would eliminate anyone who doesn’t agree on all issues from supporting us on those they do.
IMHO the TEA Party was originally started as a more or less single issue (albeit a very broad issue). Some groups have become more across the board conservative issue advocates, which reduces their ability to attract people who aren’t conservative on all issues, but agree that government is too big and spends too much.
Yes, I know.
While painful, it is a necessary duty of all of us here at FR to understand the enemy. What I'm learning is that The Left is scared to death of Ted Cruz. I would like to believe that that they really think he could win. But I'm not sure they do. Not yet. But it is certain that they know what President Ted Cruz and a Republican House and Senate would do to their agenda as well as their "accomplishments". To a liberal that is a scary thought.
It's going to be a fun next two years.
Go Ted.
