We may not be able to meaningfully challenge the speakership, but we can undermine the capitulation, at least in the house.
The conservative caucus increased in the House this cycle due to retirements and the like. For every moderate like Lee Zeldin of New York, there's a Gary Palmer of Alabama incoming as well, and then some.
I think only two Republicans who have moved on this cycle have been replaced by Republicans who are ideologically to the left of them.
-Bentivolio was replaced by Trott who is a more CoC friendly. - The guy from Washington looks like he's getting replaced by Newhouse in a disappointing victory over excellent Tea Party candidate Clint Didier (DemoCraps put him over the top)
There is no room for mistakes in the House. Conservatives have to vote with each other against the Obama agenda whoever is forwarding it.
Bring it on!
Toxic stuff, that mold....
The NYT is having trouble digesting their LOSS!
And the NYT is happy to fan the flames.
The only way the Democrats make a come back is to trick the GOP into eating it’s own
The GOPe have no idea what the Tea Party is about.
Let’s hope they don’t figure it out any time soon.
Hell the Tea Party is not the enemy. They cleaned out much of the trash RINOs that were masquerading as Republicans and held their feet to the fire to be accountable. The more accurate headline would be “GOP RINOs (Demcrats in sheep’s clothing) are gearing up for war against the Tea Party.”
Dump Boner!!
Send old turkey-neck out to pasture.
The desperate NY Times is already setting up the script for the mainstream media to follow. Next week we will see Jon Stewart, George Stephenopoulis etc. going on and on about bitter infighting within the GOP. Problem is their ratings will continue going down and the NY Times stock price will continue it’s decline.
Only the President would be “shutting down government”
So I was trolling the corporate media after the “wave” to see how they were going to spin it and came across a C-SPAN panel of RINOs from the past and present (Senators and Reps) with a few lib DEMs tossed in for good measure.
These career politicians where Monday morning QBing how McConnell was going to isolate and remove Cruz and Tea Party guys like the cancer they were. They were personal buds with McConnell and were all admiring what a masterful politician he was and giddy with how he would remove the limits on the debt ceiling and actually have some fun in the Senate now that Harry wasn’t there to sit on the legislation.
McConnell is going to back stab conservatives, he is going to team up with the usual suspects. He is the ultimate insider and it will be business as usual.
But I thought the Tea Party was a thing of the Past? How then Can you go to War with History? Oh because it is not Gone and you Fear it Holding you Accountable.
What do you know about that?
Know this Lies and Deceit loss to the Truth and Doing the Right Think All the time in the End... Maybe just maybe you should rethink you Goals and Search Your Souls...
It is simply dumb to take any cards off the table, even if you do not plan to play them.
I, too read that a Republican leader told Obama the Republicans would no shut down the government nor remove Obamacare. That same day Boehner told the media removing Obamacare was high on the list. I think the media is playing us.
Just see my tag line!
The Uni-Party has been on the same team for 100+ years. How long until Americans figure out they’ve been scammed for the whole time?
That's a garden party compared to the war going on now between radical feminists and transgenders.
Hiss.
The idea that there has to be any more kabuki theater between the GOP leadership and Obama over Obamacare is pure malarkey. All they have to do is quit funding it, and there isn’t a thing Obama can do about it. Congress holds the purse strings, not the president.
I’m as likely to believe anything in the NYT as I am the Moscow News. Half the truth is a lie.
Just like Constitution “expert” Obama probably learned a few things about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers in the Oval Office, I don’t see why TP patriots can’t teach RINO McConnell a few things about those limited powers if he becomes Senate Majority Leader.
Freepers kill me...
Back to feeling GOP love again
Pituful
God...I sure hope bashing GOP doesn’t become zottable like during Bush II years here (after he got elected)
Before Bush got elected it was profane open season on him
I have lost faith in the Republicans... they only matter on judges...maybe tax bills....and foreign policy to some degree
