How can this be? I thought the grass roots was going to rise up and demand the GOP stay strong. This couldn't be a sign of the power of the Tea Party could it? Like when they stopped immigration reform and gun restrictions? Looks like the Tea Party couldn't outmatch Boehner the rook of the Illuminati. What is so bizarre about this is the number one issue of the Tea Party is opposition to Obamacare. It is the cause of the birth of the movement, but when the GOP stood strong for 2 weeks the public didn't rally around the GOP. Even though polls showed 80% of Americans felt no effect from the shutdown the American people seemed angry at the GOP for saving the American people from Obamacare
I can't understand this. Did conservatives forget to call their Congressmen? My rat Congressman
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/426791/june-03-2013/better-know-a-district---wisconsin-s-2nd---mark-pocan was not receptive to my demands he defund Obamacare even though I informed him the American people were behind me and he would pay a heavy price...right after the Tea Party expunges tyrant Senator Ron Johnson
http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/10/08/tea-party-backed-senator-shutting-down-the-government-wasnt-the-best-strategy/ . Johnson is one of those 25 Senators who voted against Cruz 2 weeks ago and hijacked the plan.
And that in itself is a wake up call. Here are the targets.
These weak spine GOP Senators betrayed the American people by voting to send the CR back to the House with ObamaCare funding.

Cruz really sucks at convincing his colleagues. Boehner actually passed Cruz's CR and Cruz couldn't even muster half his guys. Just these 19.
Jiminey Cricket on crutches! Is that Portmans name on the list? Who is he trying to kid? That guy voted for the prescription drug entitlement, No Child Left Behind, and he's pro homo. Conservatives should drop Heller and Rubio who voted for AMNESTY! Sessions and Grassley voted for the Freddy Mac/Fanny May bailout in 2007 and Grassley voted for TARP too. So that's 14 solid conservatives who...wait a minute. Shelby refused to sign the Cruz pledge
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/penny-starr/top-republicans-refuse-sign-pledge-de-fund-obamacare. I dunno. He could be just be covering his a$$ from the butt whipping that will befall all who refuse to do their duty. 13.5 Freedom Fighters with courage! What more do you need to change the world.
ur...now that I think about it...Crapo and Risch voted for the odious public land grab Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009...and then there's big wind Jerry

10.5 conservatives, real patriot conservatives with guts, and yet, probably still over represented in the Senate. These are the only Senators conservatives can trust, and I ain't too sure about them either. Scott has been real chummy with Graham
http://www.gopwrite.com/1/post/2013/07/graham-gives-scott-big-boost.html. If conservatives are so poorly represented in our government, pretty soon you got to start considering that...
even though we all know the majority of Americans are conservative because it is shouted so often...I think they must be somehow brainwashed into voting for liberals and RINOs.
Maybe it is high time conservatives stopped talking about a 3rd party and got to gettin'.
