Waiting For Republicans to Cave on Court Nominee
Posted On 15 Mar 2016
This time they meant it. Oh yes, they were serious. You could see it in Mitch McConnell’s face. They stood up there in front of the country and promised that they would not let President Obama replace Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Republicans would wait to see how the election went in November, and they would leave it to the next president to fill Scalia’s conservative seat.
Did anyone really believe it? Even for a second?
Well, we’ll soon get to see if Republicans have magically grown a spine over the last couple of months. According to White House officials, Obama may announce his nominee within a week’s time; some expected a name as early as Tuesday. And it’s clear that the president is playing political hardball, passing on the opportunity to turn Scalia’s seat over to a raging liberal for the greater pleasure of pushing the Senate into a corner.
According to those in the know, Obama has narrowed his choices down to three strong possibilities: Sri Srinivasan, Merrick Garland, and Paul Watford, all of whom are federal judges who have been through the confirmation process. Watford is the closest to a liberal, but all three have judicial histories that suggest moderate political stances. Republican backbone aside, they will have a tough decision to make if Obama nominates one of these selections. Do they confirm a less-than-ideal judge…or take the chance of giving Hillary Clinton a much more political nominee?
Liberal activists are gearing up for a fight. From the New York Times:
“If the only way to get Republicans to cry uncle and hold a fair process is to demonstrate that they will go down in flames in November if they don’t, we are more than happy to oblige,” said Brad Woodhouse, the president of Americans United for Change, one of the organizations leading the effort.
Might as well save your breath and your money, Mr. Woodhouse. The usual mass media cabal has been steadily hammering Republicans for their inflexible attitude towards an Obama nominee, and it’s bound to force them down the same path of retreat they have worn down to the dirt. As soon as the polls turn against them – and they already have – they’ll crack under the pressure. These Republicans will fight Trump no matter how high his numbers go, but when it comes to Obama, their political will is as fragile as glass.
Here’s the pathetic part. Mitch McConnell didn’t need to come out with that hardline stance. It would have been so much smarter to simply tell the president to go ahead and make a nomination and then draw out the process without all of the ridiculous posturing. Instead, they went back to their usual playbook of big talk followed by predictable surrender. The worst thing about these Republicans isn’t their questionable standards of honor; it’s their utter incompetence.
AND THAT’S WHY WE WILL HAVE A PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Getting the Republican nomination does not constitute winning the genetal election! The Stump is incapable of taking down Hitlery.
He will Kill Hildebeast.
Cruz can’t beat Trump how can he beat Hilderbeast?
Cruz has had to share the non-Trump vote with others. But he is still there. He started this process with a plan. He has the ground game. Trump sent out a call for delegate volunteers 3 weeks late. If Kasich would leave Cruz would have it cinched.
TRUMP 2016!!!!!
I hope you are right. This weeks primaries should be a tell tail sign of things to come.
Get it down to a 2 man race … but I’m thinking that the stump is using Kasich as a spoiler in this race … has probably already offered Kadich a position in the White House to dilute the true conservative vote … Giving the stump his Judas, Ben Carson who sold out for his 20 pieces of silver and now Kasich a position as the spoiler. Dealing with the unethical … an area stump knows well.
Get Cruz one on one against The Stump and he would. Of course, the Stump backed out of another debate because he knows Kasich would be a none player and he would have to go one on one with Cruz. The late hangers in the Republican primaries split the field … the Stump doesn’t have 50% of the Republican vote … Even now, with Kasich hanging on to see if he can get a White House appointment for an endorsement Cruz is moving up fast.
It’s all numbers. The Republican race started out with 17 candidates (quite a split field) – down to the top 4 – now down to 3 (and Kasich should quit being a spoiler and let’s get a real candidate of the people whether it be Cruz or Trump and not the nominee of the establishment in a brokered convention – though that’s Kasich’s goal)… Trump gets only about 1/3 of the votes in the overall numbers of Republican primary/caucus participants … and we all know there’s not a Hitlery or Bernie supporter that would vote for Trump where some of the more moderate Bernie voters may move over to Cruz. Some of Trumps supports are not Republicans and the independents that lean conservative – along with the rest of the Republican voters who will move to Cruz to keep Hitlery out, Cruz wins. Poll after poll after poll shows this … not just once or twice, but over and over again. Tha’s why Cruz can beat Hitlery.
The full electorate. .. and he’s not winning by over 50% either
I completely disagree! Anyone would be better than Hitlery or the other socialist-democ-RATS
Almost anyone would be better, I agree with you 100% there … but the numbers are so against the Stump beating Hitlery …
In only ONE of 33 polls did he beat her!
Right on with Trump. The people are so tired of lying SOB’s like Bitch McConnell, Ryan, etc.

Read ’em and weep
If they cave again we have to make sure we vote these idiots out of office. McConnell got millions to help pass the TPP and now he’s just waiting to see how much more they will offer him for this.
You boyz simply don’t have the votes. You’re dying off at too high a rate, thank goodness!
You boyz? I assure you that these rinos will be gone. We will show you what BOYZ CAN DO. IDIOT DUMBING.
Yup!
Hold your breath liberal dem bloodsucking parasite
Get LOST POS….
Oh my, that wasn’t bad for the result of an incestuous one night stand between a liberal dem bloodsucker and a giant river leech.
Kindly do not lower a POS to gerald’s level. POS has a rough enough time in life! 😉
George, you are proof that liberalism is a viral disease and it should be wiped out because it’s an insidious brain eating disaster. Now why don’t you go jump off that high rise retirement village you claim to live in…do us all a favor.
Sorry, no can do! That would bring me down to your level! Your comment noted, laughed at, dismissed!
George
Your style of just throwing out insults is so completely typical of how Liberals “argue their point”. No facts, no cogent considerations, no citations of anything even remotely resembling research or thoughts . . just insults, name calling and doing your best to shout down and vilify anyone who doesn’t agree with you.
You really need to go back to Tmblr with the other 15 year old Liberals who think animals are gay.
So, now please, by all means, go right ahead and sling some insults at me if it will make you feel good while you type with one hand and do something else with the other, but as far as I’m concerned, this conversation is over.
😉 Promises, promises! 😉 We’ll see!
And where does “Love Rules” in your statement? How sincere. Must be supporting a liberal.
Love only is only identified by true Christians and reserved for them, not right wing extremists, sorry! But you do get plenty of grace if you even know what that means. Your comments noted, DISmissed!
Then I will pray for you.
Yeah, that’s in the Bible. Love thy Neighbor (not just the neighbor that agrees with you) as thy self?
History repeats itself and back in the late 1800’s politicians exhibited the same lack of character and morality that they do today. Then along came that “Damned Cowboy” who was one heart beat from the Presidency. His name was Teddy Roosevelt and how he changed things! I’m hoping that Trump, reviled as he is by the elite, becomes president and the Republican party is dragged back to it’s roots as a party which stood for the country and it’s values instead of being classified by most people-even it’s own-as a modern day version of Tammany Hall.
Teddy Roosevelt, my favorite president! Trump is no Teddy Roosevelt! I’ll vote for him to vote against whoever the liberal nominee should be! BUT! and I repeat; Trump is no Teddy Roosevelt!
You got your message across! LOL
It’s time for the next Ted! Cruz 2016
So delightful to read this article with my morning coffee, but… I digress! It is definitely within the realm of possibility that we will have a new SCOTUS Judge by the end of March. The country as a majority will not be kowtowed by the recalcitrant Republicans to wait for them to progress and fill the vacancy. The Republicans know that they would be irreparably wounded when the Election comes due, should they not fulfill their duties. tRUMP as President? Not a chance! The Republicans also know that tRUMP would be a disaster, nationally AND internationally. Sorry fellas, you’ve painted yourselves into a corner, AND built yourself a wall around you this time. Nowhere to go, no retreat! Simply… delicious!
You are dreaming liberal dem bloodsucking parasite.
Trump will take office in Ja,
within 30 days he will have rescinded all of Obama’s illegal exec orders.
We will have a conservative SC again.
With in 60 days the Obama liar , Holder, Lerner Lisa Jackson, Janet Napalitano and LYnch will go in front of aGrand Jury and we will be arresting liberal dem outlaws for aiding and abetting criminal aliens.
Tell it like it is!!!!!!!!
Yeeeeeee-up! Riiiiiiight!
Might want to get your affairs in order, hard to do from a cell.
And when he is not, can we expect you to flee the country in shame within 30 days?
Nah liberal dem bloodsucking parasite, unlike you low life liberal dem bloodsucking scum, when I make a mistake, I fess up.
Might want to get a job, though if he doesn’t win, you will lose 7% of the businesses, that can travel.
They wiil not be able to fund your handouts, going to get very hungry, for you leeches.
Since you live in a nearly top 10 state for government handouts and nearly 40% of your entire state budget comes from the federal government, maybe you should be worrying about your handouts. The true takers here.
Ho hum, liberal dem bloodsuckewrs will lie won’t they, you fing libera dem bloodsucking scum, spend your life trying to steal cheat and ro peopel that work and earn.
You know garbage when you scum get all done, there you are still trying to raise taxes on someone else to to pay for your handouts, soon, very soon now liberal dem bloodsucking parasite we stop, then you fing slobs starve.
The last noise that you ticks will hear when you lose consciousness, will be us laughing.
These are facts not lies. You can tell this by the way that you have offered you constructive rebuke to them. Keep name calling and pissing your pants about liberal bloodsuckers when in reality it is you that is truly sucking the life out of this nation. If it weren’t for the Federal government subsidizing your pitiful state you would have starved years ago.
Keep screaming and yelling you prove no ones point better than a liberals. Maybe you should ask your day nurse for a better mix of medications.
You have nothing liberal dem bloodsucking parasite.
You will have nothing until you liberal scum quit trying to raise taxes on some one else to pay for your handouts.
Until them you are simply a parasitical scum bag with nothing
I have proven that you, and states like yours, are the ones begging for handouts from the federal government.
So, what, even if you were right, it would be only fair to steal from Obama before he gives it to you scum/.
You are an idiot. If it were true, it makes you exactly what you claim liberals to be. And the conclusion that you are stealing money from obama before he gives it to liberals is an idiotic one and not based in any reality whatsoever in regards to how the tax system works.
just can’t stand the thought if working , earning and paying your own way, can you, parasite?
Sigh. It’s fine. If you can’t read facts and believing them I might as well be arguing with the lamp beside you that you think is the day nurse. I Hope the rest of your senility treats you well and that you find the right mix of medications to provide a less angry mood. I’ll send you a “Make America Great Again” hat as a peace offering
Liberal dem bloodsucking parasitical slob, if a fact walked up and introduced itself to you, you would have to get an interpreter.
OH wait! that one was almost good! You must be coming out from under the haze of your meds.
That wasn’t bad for the result of an incestuous one night stand between a liberal dem bloodsucker and a giant river leech.
Your Representative is cutting food stamps to raise his own subsidy that he receives! You are being fooled and the person laughing is the one is Washington who set to make millions of off your ignorance and fear.
Whatsamatter Georgie, mom not give you enough hugs when you were a little boy? You talk like a woman and act like a child….are you gay?
He’s Not Gay Kriss. He’s Straight Up Queer.
Yep, you can tell by the way he talks….queer as a 3 dollar bill
AND militant, but I/we go by the law, and we haven’t done bad in the last 42 years. The GLBT politicians now in charge are some of the most intelligent, commonsense people available. Too bad you can’t/won’t be part of the progress! You’re not missed, however. 🙂
I Won’t Even Argue With You. I Want You To Reap What You Sow. Do I Feel Sorry For You? Yes I Do. But You Asked. No You Beg For What’s About To Come Upon You. Your World is Fast Crumbling. And You Are Too Blind To See It. Man Is A Complete Failure. Shows Every Day. You Will Never See A Utopian Society. So Keep Dreaming. And For You Info. I Could Care Less If I’m Missed. I’m Not Here For You. Get It Through Your Ignorant Mind Dead Boy. No Run Along And Die Off. That’s The Best Thing People like You Could Do For this Country. Not even Your Kind will Care. You Are Seen As A Pussy. Because You Are A Coward. A Liability. Because You Do Nothing Even For Yourself.
Really? All that?? ROFL@YOU!!! Comment noted… DISmissed!
Simply Put. GFYS.
You’re wrong again, Silly rightie! It’s GFY and no, I will not. You deserve cancer… hopefully terminal!
Pretty Sad Little Boy You Have To Give Yourself A Mark Up. LOL. Rant On Twinkie.
No ranting here, RWNJ! I don’t need any vote ups from anyone. Truth stands alone! Your comments noted, laughed at… DISmissed!
I’ll bet you on the SCOTUS appointment … the next president will present his nominees not the radicalized muslim in chief disgracing the White House now. What’s the bet? Obama is a lame duck. If he were running for re-election it would be different. A SCOTUS nomination during the waning days of a lame duck president is fairly rare so there’s not a ton of precedence here. But even Joe Biden, the vice president now and then chairman of the Judiciary Committee (1992) at the time said that once the “political season” had started, the president should back down and wait until after the election in a speech he gave on the Senate floor in late June 1992. You can see the video here:
blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/02/22/biden-in-1992–urged-president-to-wait-until-after-election-on-a-supreme-court-nominee/
Sorry you’ll have to copy and paste … if you want to see the proof of Biden’s statements straight out of his mouth.
Oh that was different because it was a Republican he didn’t want to make the nomination … another political hydra speaking from one of his many mouths.
The corner the Republicans have painted themselves into is because they’ve been playing kiss a $$ with the liberals (including the Stump for donations as he plays both ends against the middle) and NOT representing the views of what is supposed to be the conservative party. This is the issue … not living up to the promise of a conservative goverment and caving in to the Dems and their liberal, government-down-your-throat agenda. I’m horrified it has taken the likes of the Stump to finally get the Republican establishment/elite to see that we are not going to take it anymore. I mean look at the Democrats … who would have ever thought a card carrying “Democratic Socialist” (Bernie Sander’s moniker he gave himself) would get as far as he has in the primaries? Both parties need to hit the reset button or there will be 4 or 5 parties as they all splinter to pieces on both sides. Maybe not such a bad idea … but not our system for sure.
Basically the majority of the country wants to have a say in our lives again and both the legislative and executive branches of our government are finding out the hard way … we are a Republic with representatives who are supposed to vote the will of the majority of their constituents … not elect them then shut up and do as they tell us. No more laws or taxes withot true representation!
I’m sorry but they Republican Senators are all like “Ly’en Ted”, they are filthy lying bastards, they need to get their asses kicked to the curb and we need to hire people to represent our best interests or we will lose our country. Period.
Everyone of the RINOs are chicken $hit with a yellow streak down their back!!! I wonder how many of them served our country in the armed forces Obama included !!
As far as I know I don’t think any one of them has ever served their country as a member of the military. That’s for other people.
congress should pass a law where you should serve at least two years in the arm forces before running for president !!
We could not afford it; the first thing would do is pass a law creating a special pay bracket for those who served in the military then became a Congressman or Senator. That would most likely be an added 25% onto their federal income and an extra 4 years credit to retirement for every year they spent in military service.
Anything our congress does has their benefit at the top of the requirements list!
Every military guy isn’t all that when it comes to politics. .. ie John “give me my purple heart” Kerry.
Well said, Patty!
Right you are but Hillary, Bernie, Obama ,just to name a few would not be on the ballot!!!!!
Kerry was on the ballot
Don’t get me started with Kerry.I was with the PBRs in Vietnam. He was a douche then and a Bigger douche Now.
Nice job winning that war, by the way, KP General with the gold-plated Potato Peeler Award!
It was won in ’68, ’69.
Cowards on “crap of it all hill ” lost it!
You’ve won nothing since 1945! Nice job!
Nice talk from a”retard minister”.
Oops, I believe I misspelled that!
Thank you! I simply consider the source. Comment noted… happily DISmissed!
He represents Christian ministry as much as Obama represents the United States presidency. DIS-graceful
As I asked earlier, where does “Love Rule” in your life … starting with that statement and it’s overtones of condemnation towards The Master Chef. You are such a hypocrite.
Comment noted… DISmissed! (You’re such a broken CD = boring!).
And you’re a hypocrite = sad and bad
Thank you for being there to preserve our country and our rights. It’s the guys like you who have sacrificed so much for the U.S. that assures me we still have heroes in the world. Thank you from my complete heart!
Good Point !
I hate to admit that, being an Army Vet.
Johnnie bitchfairy should have been hung more than 40 years ago, along with hanoi jane !
Some have, but few. You can generally tell which ones by the way they support the military.
I get so tired of hearing the men and women in Congress applauding the military.
They are as phony as a blank dollar bill. It is in their total package of false impressions and a big part of their “Political Correctness” package given them by their party leaders as professional talking points. The best I can get out of it relates – to thanks for doing what I did not have the fortitude to do!,
I spent 27+ years in the military and would still be there had age not forced me out. I have always taken pride in my service and the great relationships that were built there and continue today. We do not need false praises and greetings from politicians; we need Honest Work For ALL OF AMERICA.
If our men and women in service was as ineffective as the men and women in Washington are, our nation would have failed years ago. If leadership in the military was as weak as the qualities of the men and women we send to Washington – we would have Obama’s stumbling all over the battlefield tryng to determine which way to run; “where did I put that RED LINE in the sand?”
We spent our time in the Military for this country, not to hear “False” and “halfhearted” political talk. We did our part and we expect elected officials in Washington to do their part. Fortunately we did what we could; they are failing in their part!
No, they’re not chicken, they have the same agenda as Obama.
Yes to tear this country apart and keep padding their pockets and to hell with the American people!!!!
The long list of failures I her career seems to establish an ability to continue with the Obama agenda as she has stated she will do. She had to say something to get Obama to endorse her. If Obama was at all impressed with Hillary’s time in the State Department it would be surprising; she went into the position (not elected bur rather appointed – she has only ever been in one elected position) with a lot of baggage and came out with a lot of truly crappy baggage; failures that cost lives and jeopardized national security by sending classified information over an illegal internet system! A REAL MARK of her failed leadership and lack of values and credibility is the fact one of the U.S. Ambassadors under here was forced to retire from the Department Of State for using his own internet server much the same as hers. She accepted his FORCED resignation for doing basically the same illegal thing she was doing! ! !
It did not take Obama long to accept her resignation following Benghazi and none has yet found the $6 billion dollars missing from the State Department under Hillary’s watch, And- what about the U.S. Ambassador who was forced to resign for use of an illegal internet system similar to Hillary Clintons at the same time she was using her illegal system, or Hillary’s decision to NOT put security at Benghazi because “a friend suggested it instead of coming from her staff.” And there is the small matter of voting to go to war in Iraq without reading the bill or the supporting intelligence because “some others told her she should vote YES”
AMEN,Terry! Our congress is a joje! It is now made up of democrats and RINOs who are masquerading as republicans. ….and the American voters are finally about to figure that out! I just pray it’s not too late!
Not true of Cruz. He is as anti-establishment as they come … why do you think the rhinos hate him as much as they hate the Stump?
I wish you had Cruz where the sun don’t shine!
Get ugly Stumpbot .. but your staement still holds no water.
Amen .. All i hear for last seven years is sound of huge toilet flushing
It hasn’t flushed yet Obama has got it about full and if Hillary goes in she will flush it!!!!!!
We NEED a revolution where the only people allowed to vote are the ones who have something to loose. And have served in the military honorably. Letting every welfare recipient, illegal alien and cowardly moron vote has been the ruin of EVERY Republic thas has slipped down into a democracy.
DON’T BE SORRY …IT’S THE TRUTH. NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR TELLING THE TRUTH.
Another chance … list all yhose Cruz lies. Still not backing your empty statements
Please list Ted’s lies
Every time he opens his mouth!!!!!!
No one lies every time they open their mouth. Even Trump doesn’t lie EVERY time. I have not heard Cruz lie. And as one of his constituents, I would like to say he has kept his word and done what he told me he would before he got into office. So, he has won my support for his campaign. Cruz 2016 for a better America.
That’s your right you vote for who you like and I’ll vote for who I like!!!!!!! TRUMP 2016!!!!!
Can you tell me WHY you are voting for Trump? I really would like to know why? Maybe you can convince me I am wrong, although I seriously doubt it.
Still waiting your your list of lies from Ted Cruz.
Terry Hogan has not listed any lies by any candidate … He heard the Stump prattle on about lies with no substance behind it and blindly follows. Say it enough and you think everybody will blindly follow. There’s no substance ro your statements OR your candidate.
Specifics … or are you just another stump-bot?
Like the ignorant sucker in the White now. You should read something about bambam, who you do not now. He has done so much for the country is that what you believe? Name a few things.
What are Ted Cruz’s lies?
You have not been paying enough attention to Congress. There are a few Conservative faithfuls in the crowd. They are fighting for us. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are two of them. There are about 8 more that I don’t remember the names of, but they are doing what we elected them to do. So, please honor there courage and stance.
You have an interesting slogan. Stolen from Donald Trump. Other than Trump’s slogan, what exactly are your examples of Ted Cruz lying? Or are you just repeating things that Donald Trump says and call it a day. Just curious
Amen to every word you posted
It seems the Senate is nothing but bunch of spineless nincompoops; that silently acquiescence, either unknowingly or worse knowingly, without the slightest objection to the Demo-rats infringement on our rights. The Dem’s fleece us of our constitutional rights much like taking candy from a baby; with our permission, much like dumb sheep taking a leisurely afternoon stroll over to the slaughterhouse after being told the Slaughter House is a resort rather then their killing grounds! Ughhh. Consequently, the person whose rights have been infringed or completely erased loses the ability to make a claim against the infringement procedure, because of these GD crooked republican attorney class career politicians; all of which needs be kicked to the curb like the worthless dogs they are and replaced by honest folks that care about our country rather then stealing as much money from We the People as they can. Vote for Donald J. Trump he will put a end to these ba$tards!
They’re all on doing the same sport – screw over the American populace and get rich in the process – the only difference is in the jerseys. Some have D on them and some have an R on them but they are busy worrying about their careers and all the perks that come with it. I don’t understand why congress can’t use ‘Go to Meeting’ or some other software to conduct business from their home offices. With technology the way it is today why do we need them clustered in DC?
Clustered in DC is actually an advantage for we the people. Because when the time comes….and it will….for the STHF we can get rid of them all in one happy spree instead of hunting them down all across this entire country.
The Stump has been supporting those ba$tards for years. He’s a liberal jackass masquerading as a conservative (a term he couldn’t define during the debates). I’m reading some of these text by well spoken posters, and for the life of me I cannot understand how you can think there is a sincere bone in the Stump’s body or a word of truth spewing from that vulgar mouth of his. I really don’t understand it.
I agree Patty, I listen to Trump and I hear him shifting and changing. Carson, who now endorses him, said he went to him to ask if he meant what he was saying because he couldn’t endorse him if he did. Well, he now endorses him, what does that tell people. He has been playing the DC game for a long time. It has made him a lot of money. Now the narcissism is making him want to be President, not for the good of America or the people, but for the good of Trump. So, maybe he can get over his short hands.
When Bitch McConnel says it. . . . . . .watch out. What a treacherous liar.
Will never reach the floor of Senate, so listen and just shut up!!!
The heck with wondering if they have:” magically grown a spine” I’d like to see the Republicans to magically grow “coglioni” ( Italian) but I doubt it!
Is that the same thing as ‘cojones’ in Spanish? Maybe we can get them the strap on kind and exert a little testicular control.
You bet it is the same and still missing from these wimps whatever you call them!!
NOV, we will be waitng for any republican that votes with Obama
SO WHO REALLY believes HIM ????? He is a RINO Time to Retire him. GO—-TRUMP—-GO
They have caved to the “Black Messiah” on every issue. The RINO’s will out themselves soon. On the other hand if we have the misfortune of seeing Mrs Clinton back in the White Hut shopping for a new set of china the country will be destroyed anyway. Mrs Bill Clinton will finish off what Satan Obama has begun.
Sturgis, I never said Trump was the same as TR but what TR did was shake up the establishment and break up a lot of the big Trusts. Trump is shaking up the establishment and their elitist Trust is in jeopardy and they are screaming. Trump is forcing DC & Co. to realize that a lot of Americans are sick and tired of being taken for granted and viewed as pockets to plunder for personal pork barrels..
The Republican “leadership” caving? Let us count the ways they have caved. Do I believe they will dishonor their word and betray America again. Oh yes I do. Thank Senators like Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, John McCain and Lindsey Graham. There are others but these are the worst.
I hope everyone in Texas remembers how John Cornyn has betrayed his word to Texans the next time he comes up for election. I for one wouldn’t vote him in as garbage collector.
Don’t lump Cruz in with Cornyn. I couldn’t agree more … we need another Cruz to replace Cornyn.
I completely agree!
This pales in comparison to how complicit the GOP is aiding the Democrats in enabling Obama’s treasonous agenda.
Mitch McConnel, John Boehner, Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor and have championed Obama’s treasonous agenda for almost a decade!
Before the November 2014 election, Republican’s made us, their base, sweet sounding promises! Then they lied, betrayed and back stabbed their supporters after the election.
The November 2014 election was ..NOT, approval for Republican to recently pass the Omnibus Spending Bill and F#%k over all Americans opposed to funding illegal aliens and muslim refugee resettlement.
The November 2014 election was ..NOT, approval for Republican plans to pass TPP and F#%k over American workers.
The November election was a verdict ..AGAINST, Obama’s treasonous illegal alien amnesty plans ….by ….the …..American ….voters!
The election was ..NOT, approval for Republican plans to pass a funding bill that pays for Obama’s illegal executive action granting legal status to illegal aliens.
The election was ..NOT, approval for Republican plans to do the same thing as disclosed in Gang Of Eight Senate Bill 744 and recently passed CRONYbus HR83.
The last election was ..NOT, approval for Republican plans to NOT round up and deport ALL illegal aliens in the USA.
The election was ..NOT, approval for Republican plans to increase H-1b visas as disclosed in Gang Of Eight Senate Bill 744.
The election was …NOT, approval for Republican plans to NOT cancel the H-1b visa program and NOT deport ALL the foreigners here now taking American jobs.
The election was ..NOT, approval for Republican actions to gut EPA regulations and pollute with abandon.
The November 2014 election was ..NOT, approval for Republican plans to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
The election was ..NOT, approval for Republicans to allow corporations to avoid paying US taxes through tax inversion schemes.
The election was ..NOT, approval for ALL Republicans to allow US Banks to once again allow “Derivatives provision” and CITIBANK language repealing part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law putting American taxpayers on the hook, …again, for their losses as recently passed in CRONYbus HR83.
Remember, American Patriots STILL, vote in far greater numbers than Illegal Aliens and Billionaire PAC’$ …and they will vote for TRUMP!
Oh, and speaking of …establishment republicans and illegal aliens. I was glad to see that Eric Cantor was up and around last fall tearfully pImping John Boehner’s career. Last I heard, he had his head over a toilet for 6 months after his loss.
The GOP Leadership is complicit in enabling Obama’s treasonous agenda.
The U.S. government is mostly run by just five people: Barack Obama, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, Paul Ryan, and Nancy Pelosi.
Last December, these five pushed through a horrible Omnibus spending bill to fund the government through next September that amounts to a betrayal of American voters, especially on immigration matters.
Where do I begin to condemn this? I’ll start with GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan.
It didn’t take long for Ryan to break all his promises on immigration, did it?
When he was running for Speaker two months ago, Ryan promised he would not bring up immigration bills that did not have the backing of a majority of Republican House Members.
Yet as soon as he got the chance, Ryan snuck several huge immigration giveaways into the Omnibus spending bill Congress approved.
It goes further:
»Nearly QUADRUPLES the number of H-2B low-skilled foreign workers allowed in this year. This could raise the total of these workers this year from 66,000 to 264,000.
Not only that…
»FUNDS a large increase in Syrian and other refugee resettlement in this country. Instead of a timeout and a full security review, Congress handed Obama everything he wants.
»FUNDS Obama’s catch-and-release policy that virtually stops deportations.
»FUNDS Sanctuary Cities, so that cities like San Francisco that refuse to turn over jailed illegal aliens to the feds will face no cut in funding.
»MAINTAINS tax credits to illegal aliens in the form of the Earned Income Tax Credit. That is, if a family is poor enough, they not only pay no income tax, the government pays THEM. Yes, that includes illegal aliens! Also, Congress continues to allow illegal aliens to claim child tax credits on their tax returns.
»FUNDS the continued relocation into America of the unaccompanied minors who are marching across the border into Texas and states. The numbers of these crossing the border is way up again this year.
Even with all these outrages I’ve mentioned, there are still MORE terrible things hidden in the Omnibus bill, which passed both the House and the Senate. A hopeful sign is that 95 House Republicans joined with 18 House Democrats, and 26 Senate Republicans joined with 6 Senate Democrats to vote NO on this monstrosity.
Yet, most Republicans and most all the Democrats voted yes, and it passed. Their complicity in this sell out is the real threat to the Constitution and Americans that want jobs and security.
…………..Trump, NOT Rubio in 2016
We all know the Democrats are in the bag, but you may ask …WHY hasn’t the GOP done anything to STOP Obama’s treasonous illegal alien, muslim resettlement and gun control policies?
Well, ……….The RNC committee did act.
”RNC SCUTTLES IMPEACHMENT IN COMMITTEE VOTE”
By J.B. Williams | January 16, 2016
….Sorta raises serious questions about WHICH party they really belong to!
newswithviews. com/JBWilliams/williams320. htm
At the opening of the January Republican National Committee meeting in Charleston South Carolina Wednesday, the RNC Resolutions Committee was forced to vote on a RNC Resolutionknown as the Agema Resolution, supporting the proper Impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama for his many crimes of treason, tyranny and treachery against the United States and the people.
The nine member Resolutions Committee chaired by Carolyn McLarty of Oklahoma, voted unanimously to kill the Agema Resolution in committee, preventing the full body of the RNC from ever having a vote or voice on the measure in the full meeting scheduled for Friday January 15.
Not one member of the RNC Resolutions Committee supported the Agema Resolution to impeach what is admittedly the most impeachable administration in U.S. history. Not even known acts of treason and tyranny by the Obama Administration, not the Iran deal, or even Obama’s recent unilateral gun grab EO (Executive Order) just a week ago, was enough to cause the leadership of the Republican Party to support a resolution on impeachment.
The nine members of the RNC Resolutions Committee who blocked the measure from the full body are as follows…
Carolyn McLarty (Oklahoma) Chair
Melody Potter (West Virginia)
Paul Reynolds (Alabama)
Tamara Scott (Iowa)
Steve Scheffler (Iowa)
Pat Longo (Connecticut)
John Frey (Connecticut)
Rosie Tripp (New Mexico)
Linda Acherman (California)
Republicans were given the purse strings in 2010 and have not “defunded” anything since, not even Planned Parenthood. From 2009 through 2014, the Republican excuse for not impeaching Obama was “we don’t control the Senate” and “we will impeach if we get control of the Senate,” which the people gave them control of a year ago in the 2014 election cycle.
Since 2014, the Republican excuse for not impeaching has been, “there is no public outcry for impeachment,” which is true, because Republicans had taken “impeachment off the table” under Boehner and McConnell, and clearly, it remains “off the table” under Paul Ryan, and certainly Priebus.
THIS VOTE WAS …NOT REPORTED BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
…………….Trump 2016
Commonsense citizens are laughing themselves crazy over these gloom and doom comments you wrong- way Corrigan folks are spewing. Poor humor but good for laughs; one gets what they pay for, I guess!
I am so happy your mommy taught you how to log in.
If only you had something factual to say.
We need a Justice like Scalia!!!
If they do cave to obammy we should hang them with the same rope ole blue lips should be hung with. These are not our elected officials, they are nothing but puppets.
This time around it’ll take a hard freeze in the poles to thaw before congress flubs their dubs!!
Ya right.. Wonder how many Repubs will say no to George soros one million dollar check ??///// Just sayin
We now dealing iwth Kagan, and Sotomayer, for life because McConnell, and Boehner caved in….. I don’t trust the Suit’s in the Republican Party to do the right thing………….. Those two F@ggots should have been booted along time ago,,
These spineless traitors are always cowing down to Obama and his destructive agenda, All they are doing is pushing the American public to a place they do not want to go. I ope they get a reality check and see where their employers want this country to go and it definitely is not socialistic.
Won’t happen. Not even liar Mitch is that stupid. He’s a RINO but he knows when to fight and when to pass. IF he gives in now, Conservatives will stay home in November and he’ll be MINORITY leader again.
I would take them to trial for treason to their oaths and crimes against the American people. These spineless traitors are just lining their pockets at the expense of our freedom and constitution.
Remind your Senators what they did to Reagan. They had control over the Senate and prevented Reagan a nominee for 420 days to them end of his administration. Tell Them!
They need to go through the process; not necessarily to confirm but to at least put forth the message that they intend to do their jobs. If they don’t, they could lose the presidency and both houses which would cost them the supreme court which i believe they are currently afraid of losing.
THEY’LL CAVE ‘CAUSE THEY’RE SPINELESS AND GUTLESS. THEY’VE SIDED WITH THE LIBERALS UP TO NOW ….SO WHY SHOULD THEY CHANGE? FOR THEM IT’S FULL STEAM AHEAD ELECT THE LAST NAIL FOR THE NON-PARTISAN COFFIN OF SCOTUS. THEY’RE GONNA DO IT ANY WAY
By golly, I think you’re on to something there! 🙂
Anyone who attacks Ted Cruz is either a con artist, a lunatic leftist or a moron. Ted Cruz is the ONLY TRUE CONSERVATIVE running for President.
They problem with the GOP leadership is they continue to cave into Obama . This is why the Party is going for Trump . Because they failed to stand firm on Conservative Values .
The One Thing that I can not Stand about the Trump Supporters, Is their continuing effort to Paint and Taint Cruz as some K street D.C. insider. How do you guys think that Ted has earned A 97 score from Conservative Review? Now this election for me is about the country and Not about the candidates. I can not afford at this point to get distracted by some kind of personality driven Student Council election. Time is short and the stakes are too high.The Establishment is gunning for Trump no doubt. Is Cruz gunning for Trump, You bet they are in a battle for a big prize. But the two Attacks have nothing in common. the power brokers inside the RNC and GOP are in a battle against the American People that is all of us Trump and Cruz supporters alike,, If Trump were not in the Race They would have done their best to destroy Cruz and they are still doing quite a bit of that on the side. Today for example Lindsey Graham “Endorsed” Cruz, My guess is that this bogus lie means nothing to Graham as he and Cruz have Absolutely nothing in common on policy, It is meant to position Graham as a Cruz “Insider” so when he turns on Ted at the so called Contested convention, His words might have more effect.
Graham endorsing Cruz is as bad or worse than David Duke endorsing the stump. Your post is absolutely correct!
PP,, the only thing I can not figure out is who the establishment will jump to on a second ballot. Until I see Romney, and Lindsey baby hosting Cruz fundraisers, I will not believe that their “Endorsement” is anything more than a placeholder to extend their newsworthiness. I think that the Walker endorsement is heartfelt and solid. The RNC at this point is like a duck on the pond,, going 90 miles a hour under the surface. Fortunately for those who watch closely,, The Establishment Ruling class is so brazen, so sure of themselves that they will tip their hand early.
I am convinced that they would rather have Hillary than either Trump or Cruz,, In that pursuit the race is setting up for them perfectly,, Could they suddenly go Marco? he would be easy to control. At this point I can’t tell.
I understand … the GOP establishment flip flops as badly as the stump!
The Bible tells us, the fools says there is no God…. I guess the vast major will remain in denial until the very last hour… They have eyes to see and ears that hear but they neither see or hear the truth; therefore they will perish in there refusal of the truth of their godless leaders who have no loyalty to anyone but themselves.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
God gave dominion of the earth and all of it’s life to Adam but when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden he became a slave to sin and the property of a slave passes to the slave owner, the father of sin, Satan. We are also told that God only allows Satan to act within the confines of man’s freewill, thus everything is falling into place just as it is told in the Book of Revelation.
God has given US His warnings of destruction since the mid 1980s and no man nor all of USA Armed Forces can save us from these prophecies. The 9/11/01 attack was the 1st of 3 major attacks. The 2nd major attack will be approx. 1000 times greater in at least 3 areas, one in Southern California and most likely in two areas on the upper East Coast, which looked as if it will be in or near Philly and Boston… For more details Google: “watchman48 RFC Newsletter #101 and if you don’t believe in God’s existence Google: “watchman48 The Greater Message.”
If the Republican Cowards cave into Obama, then we need to hit the streets and demonstrate, just like all the Leftist Loons are constantly doing! Of course, the Kenyan Queen is looking for an excuse to install Martial Law! Unless we cleanse that Washington DC Toilet of the corrupt Scum, of both Parties, we will continue to go downhill!
If the Republicans cave in, I’ll vote for anybody but a Republican.
And hand the WH to a Democrat. Good plan.
Any vote for a write-in or a third party candidate is a vote handed to the Democrat. How is that possibly going to help anything?
I’ll write in Trump!!!!
Hence you would be giving Hitlery more leverage at the ballot box. Never in history has a write in candidate won the presidency … never. However recent history proves a 3rd party/write in candidate can destroy the chance of a nominee … then the candidate who is least likely to share your ideals of where you want our country to go basically gets half a vote from you. Example … Ross Perot on 1992. Our two party system totally breaks down when a 3rd party candidate or a strong write in candidate comes into play. The vast majority of polls show the stump way too weak to garner the female vote in a national presidential race … and for good reason! If the stump isn’t the nominee and 10% those who want him as president write him in … it will just deminish the Republican nominee and deliver the White House and the upcoming Supreme Court nominees tovthe liberals on a silver platter.
We all by now should know and understand that anything Mitch McConnell says is just useless garbage. He and Harry Reid must have grown up holding hands; they seem to track in the same mindless crap and find more satisfaction in creating problems than trying to resolve them.
Although I have NO RESPECT for anything Mitch McConnell says, suggests or pushes, I do agree approving an Obama selectee for anything is not a wise move. A quick, or extended, review of the quality and failures of many of the people selected by Obama has shown he lacks any skill in digging up the best people for the job. It seems he is prone to finding those who will do as he says and not what is always best for the country.
In spite of Mitch being Mitch, I have to agree; apologize to Obamas selectee for the embarrassment Obama has caused him but make no decisions until Obama is out of office. We Have Learned Obama can not be trusted regardless of how flowery his speeches are or how many people get blamed for his errors!
I think … wait … hope the Rhino’s are realizing THEY created this monster. Start listening to the people or something like the Stump is waiting in the wings to take over by doing just what the rhinos have done … promise the moon (or a border wall paid for by Mexico – with no way to back up the blathering ), get the nomination, then lose to the slime bag that doesn’t even remember she helped kill Ambassador Stevens and our Marines in Benghazi. What a witch!
Don’t waste your vote on the Stump ( he cannot beat Hitlery) … Cruz is a Constititional conservative … is he perfect? No one is … but he is the ONLY consistent conservative … and he’s worked hard to keep his promises to Texas. Quite honestly, I think it will be a great sacrifice by Texas to share this great anti -establishment conservative with the United States and the world.
@patty_parfait:disqus
I hear you on this, but the primaries are winding down and we need to stick together. I would gladly vote for Cruz in the general election, and I would also vote for Trump. We all need to vote for whoever ends up with the nomination, or a Democrat president is going to subject us to four more years of the destruction of America. I understand when people are angry and vote for write-ins or third party candidates, but that only helps the Democrats. Doing that is worse than wasting your vote, because write-ins and third party type will never win a national election, and when you do that you might as well just vote for the Democrat because they will be getting your vote either way since the republican won’t be getting.
People need to start using their heads here or we’re all sunk.
Mikial you are right. Most elections you’re usually choosing the lesser of evils … My problem is between the Stump and Hitlery there isn’t a lot of difference … The Stump is a liberal posing in the Republican primary so he can get in office and be the next narcissist in chief. He’s not a constitutionalist, he can’t define conservatism, he flip flops on major, moral issues like abortion … I can see changing your mind about tax plans but the difference is overwhelmingly terrifying. The radicalized muslim (another mega-narcissist) disgracing our White House opened the door for the next president to abuse that power … and the Stump tjinks his way has always been and will always be the best tjing since sliced bread … and if you don’t agree you’re an idiot or a moron. He seems to get off on the controversy and physical confrontations in his honor. With either the Stump or Hitlery, I see nothing but more of the same establishment mentality … we vote them in, then shut up and mindlessly agree to their nut job ideas. This stuff keeps me awake at night.
I will continue to support Cruz. He could still pull this out if Kasich will give up the dream of being the nominee in a brokered convention or if people will see Kasich’s. b. s. for what it is … a pipe dream of grandeur. . And Cruz can just start pulling the 2/3’s plus of Republican together who voted against the Stump.
If my worse nightmare comes true and it’s the Stump or Hitlery … well at least (as far as I know) the Stump has never let our citizens be killed in the streets as Hitlery and our current radicalized muslim leader have … then I would vote for the Stump
.. then go home and throw up.
You will be waiting until hell freezes over then!
I believe McConnell as much as I believed Boehner. I’ll believe it when I see it. If the establishment Republicans go along with Obama on this and cheat Trump or Cruz out of being the Nominee,they will find themselves without a party AND a job. The States where they come from will not re- elect them anymore to their cushy DCjobs.
The financial cabal that feed the Democrats, RINOs, lobbyists, politicians, lobbyists and judges will provide the unimaginable influential “gifts” until they have bought the votes to appoint their candidate. That is why they hate Trump and how they may complete the buyout of Cruz.
Search and listen to “5 Minute Speech that Got Judge Napolitano Fired from Fox News”. I wish we could find his script.
Trump all the way to the White House
The gop is actually liberal democrats pretending to be an alternative to the democrats. All of the leaders of the republican party are RINOs and phonies. Donald Trump is the only candidate who is not a part of the RINO/democrats and they all want to destroy him because they can’t control him. Therefore he has my vote.
If McConnell caves(and he will) the people of Kentucky should hang him !
Doesn’t matter who hangs him; just so it gets done. “it is time to feed the hogs.”
