We've all had our share of McCain's, Flakes, Grahams, Murkowskis and Collins...but its childish to blame the other 40+ GOP Senators and President who ARE fighting for every issue on the conservative agenda.
Please spare us such abject HORSESHIT. Your failed party IS NOT fighting for every Conservative issue at all. Exactly the opposite.
i.e.; Rand Paul was the ONLY SENATOR to oppose the 1.5 TRILLION budget deal outpacing Obama's deficit spending that shut the government down for a few hours before his party circumvented his refusal to vote for it. Paul was seeking a vote to reversing across-the-board spending increases and was refused by his own leadership. He said: "I ran for office because I was very critical of President Obama's trillion-dollar deficits. Now we have Republicans hand in hand with Democrats offering us trillion-dollar deficits. I can't in all honesty look the other way."
Your party IS NOT fighting for every issue on the Conservative agenda. It has capitulated to every issue on the Democrat agenda, including trillions in deficit spending.
Spend! Spend! Spend! You think we are stupid enough to believe that is part of a Conservative agenda?
Worse, is the idiotic thought that putting MORE of these 40 and the President out of office and allowing MORE dems and Flakes to win seats...is some sort of smart political strategy.
It is. Playing at a casino where the dice are loaded and the house oligarchy for Statism always wins every hand and every play - the smartest thing to do - is not to play at their tables. Especially when their rules are designed to fleece you and subjugate you to Statism.
Neither a President nor genuinely conservative Senators can move forward legislation with less than 50 votes...in some cases 60.
Just more of: 'We cannot do anything unless we have the House'. 'We cannot do anything unless we have the Senate'. 'We cannot do anything unless we have the Presidency'.
Give them all three and we get party hacks like you telling us: "We cannot do anything unless we have more than 60 votes". BULLSHIT. The Democrats always manages to get what they want with less than 60 votes. This is just pathetic excuse-making, and we are not buying it anymore.
So, the President has used executive power to achieve what CAN be achieved and the Senate has moved forward what CAN be moved forward...in the cause of conservatism. But, unless you want them to impose dictatorial powers, they are constrained by the structure of our constitutional government.
Spare us the feigned adherence to the Constitution you would like us to believe your party respects. Deficit spending to the tune of trillions is not exactly following Constitutional prescriptions. Neither are proposed infringements on the 1st and Second Amendments - but that has not stopped your party from supporting or even calling for them. To try and tell us that everything that can be done to roll back Obama's agenda has been done is bullshit. Republicans had the power to defund ObamaCare - they refused. Repeatedly. Instead they fully funded it. They may have dumped the mandate... temporarily, but are even now discussing the need to bring it back because otherwise all the insurance exchanges will require massive taxpayer bailouts.
The excuses for your party's failure to even attempt to fulfill their campaign promises, are laughable.
Or hell, just use a little bit of common sense and reason.
We are. That is why we are leaving your party to rot - and getting Conservatives out of it and into a new one.
