Gutless illegitimi are getting just as devious as the democrats, they might as well change to the democrat party for all the good they do! Bend over and kiss your asses good-bye, Conservatives…we have no representation in Washington…they are ALL out for themselves!

Couldn’t agree more with Erick. If you don’t support the legislation, why vote for the rule that allows it to come to the floor?

Whatever happened to Appropriation process?

As our Government becomes more isolated from reality, the entropy inside the beltway continues to build. (Eventually a closed system builds entropy internally until it impodes and a new system replaces it) I believe the math problems facing our country are so enormous and hidden from average Americans in terms of the scope that most people will be shocked when the crash comes and/or their standard of living continues to erode. If there is a crash, most of America will look for new leaders. If there is a slow steady erosion of the standard of living due to ever escalating inflation and credit driven consumption, it will take longer for most of America to demand change. I am saddened by the apathy in our country as I still believe she is the greatest place on earth. But if you don’t know the math, you can choose to believe whatver you’re told and that’s where we are today.

I understand the positng rules of the site – no advocating for a third party, no comments to tear down Republicans. How much longer can those of us who have eyes to see ignore the truth about a big population of our Party? When does one say ‘enough’ and take their time, their money (and I used to think most importantly), their vote elsewhere? I want to belive that my elected Republican Party officals will rise to the occasion, act differently than the self-interested ones who have created the mess we call government; but after reading the above, I don’t have hope anymore. It looks like it is all a game, funded by me and you and other taxpayers, but played by the elected reps from both parties. Please don’t tell me that I am tearing down the Party – its the Party that is tearing me, and others like me, apart. I feel that my conservative values have little or no representation from my Party, much less across the spectrum of my government. I don’t expect conservative values to win without effort and I don’t expect the conservative point of view to win a vote or an arguement everytime, but I do expect conservatives to win occasionally – I desperately want to see my elected Party representatives stand and deliver on something as important as defunding Obamacare – without political tricks, sleight-of-hand or other disingenious BS.

Unfortunately, you are correct.

Speaker Boehner is squelching conservatives like Louie Gohmert and others. He should be listening more to their plans and programs instead of pandering to Eric Cantor, who is often wrong.

One problem for GOP House members who oppose Obamacare is that there is no serious reform bill to replace it. Defunding Obamacare is clearly the moral thing to do. However, some House members are in a pickle: what do they do for their constituents who will be affected by a defunded program? This is a cunning way around the problem with 2014 elections looming on the horizon, a.k.a. politics as usual.

If the Republican Party succeeds in getting another faux conservative nominated in 2016, and whoever it is will be labelled “conservative” regardless, it would not be a shocker to see more Republican voters behave the way the Ronulans did in last year’s election.

A question, why are you saying that “House Conservatives” will prove they are the problem? By their actions they are showing that they are Republicans, not necessarily conservatives. I think it is important that they be exposed for their actions and that they don’t get the cover with voters that the “conservative” label provides. If they want to legislate as big government Republicans, label them as such.

I am so glad to see that others are now seeing what I have been pointing out to local Party leaders for a few years now. the Liberal Republicans have taken over the party. They end up siding with the Democrats at the end. The only difference is that the party leaders are mad that they aren’t the ones getting the credit for these bad ideas. John Boehner needs to go along with McCain, McConnell and many many more Liberal republicans.

Elections have consequences. We lost the fight on stopping Obamacare. If people really wanted to repeal it, they would have voted for Romney and GOP control of the Senate. Unfortunately there were people on our side who were too obsessed with Romney’s prior record and his religious beliefs. There were people who were concerned more about getting a “true” conservative as president than wanted to repeal Obamacare. There were people who were more motivated about allowing the country to be driven to the bottom so a “true” conservative savior could come and rescue it. And now all we are left with is undemocratic procedural tomfoolery.

House Republicans, under the unprincipled leadership (and I use the term loosely) of Boehner, Cantor and others are an absolute disgrace. And those so-called conservatives on the bench who vote with them yet say they stand for America are phony. A meager thirty patriotic Republicans stood up for the right and they will now be scorned and ridiculed. These people are the patriots; the leadership and their cohorts are truly political cowards and, frankly, I think they are really progressives hiding in the closet.

Remember all of Boehner’s promises? He has lied repeatedly and I, for one, will never support the organized Republican Party again as a party. I will, however, vote for Republicans when they offer truth and leadership, but I am talking about quality candidates who are principled like the thirty brave Congressmen and others like the outstanding SenatorTed Cruz of Texas.

Rank and file Republicans, you should now finally understand what the DC party is and what it stands for—nothing conservative. They, frankly, are proving to be no better than Obama. And the next time I hear a McCain, Rove, or that disgusting Steve Schmidt talk about how to win elections, I think I will throw up. I am sick to my stomach and fear this might be the final death knell of our country with any semblance of what we want it to be. God help us all.

There are two types of politicians in DC. The communists and the communist enablers.

The only people whom I have ever seen bring up Romney’s religion are the RINOs who want to put down the conservatives who actually showed up and voted for him at election time. Even if he wasn’t their first choice. And we were right that Romney would have trouble trying to position himself as against Obamacare and for Romneycare when the only difference between the two was the locus of implementation. Romney was and is a technocrat, not a conservative. Technocrats always run into trouble in ideas elections because they think it’s all just about applying the right technology and/or eggheads to the problem. Some things are a matter of morals and spirit. Technology never helps with those issues.

That is it, in a nutshell. Good post.

Everything “Boner” is doing as Republican Leader convinces me that he is secretly in league with Obama.

200 years later and Americans STILL do not know our bicameral system is a single party parliamentary entity what only difference between neo LIBERAL/democrats and neoCON/republicans is their fiscal budgets. Libralcon anti social leadership… Brought to you by gullible Americans who voted for them, covet their madness and worship their criminality in a neurotic funk with reality.

What? Politicians are self-serving scum regardless of Party? Who knew?

There is no way on earth that the 14th amendment
will be repealed. As a conservative, I dislike how often it is abused by
democrats (and used out of the scope of its original intent). But any attempt
to modify or abolish it would be seen as racist. No democrats would vote for
that, no RINOs would vote for that, and many true conservatives wouldn’t even
vote for that.

Also, write coherently. Liberal use of capitalizations and
incorrect grammar structures fail to impress anyone.

We don’t have to hit rock bottom before conservatives will unite and organize where they live, for real political action, inside their respective local Republican Party committees and at their respective precinct levels, but that’s probably what it will take. And by then it may be too late.

Here we are after over four years of Obama and we still had 4 million conservatives who sat out the election because “their guy” wasn’t the nominee.

Here we after four years of Obama and half of the precinct-level precinct committeeman slots in our Party, on average, in every locale, are still vacant.

If you want to get involved, where you live, go here to learn the why and how of it:

Just blogging won’t change the Republican Party and the outcome of the all-important, traditionally-very-low-turnout primary elections. Nor will writing letters to the squishy Republicans change them. The only way to “change” them is to change them out in the primary election.

The only way to change the Republican Party leadership is to get inside it.

Precinct committeemen elect, directly or indirectly, ALL of the Party officers.

Thank you.

I agree; we did fine without it. Defunding Obamacare must happen (repealing it is a moral necessity!) but the GOP has nothing to offer except watered down versions (see Sen. McCain; Gov. Scott-FL; Rep. Ryan) that ensure taxpayers are on the hook to pay for someone else’s healthcare. Philosophically, the GOP believes that we are our brother’s keeper, which is in step with their democrat counterparts. The difference is purely a matter of how far the law will reach and how much it will cost. My point is that until GOP leadership puts together a serious reform plan, then procedural maneuvers will be the norm.
