…extending his middle finger to American voters.

This is how legislation gets passed these days. Individual legislators, Senators in particular, need to become significantly less powerful individuals.

They know we plan on not funding Obamacare – so they are sticking funding in at the last minute before they lose power in order to be able to demagogue us next year for “cutting” spending on entitlements aimed at “helping” the “middle-class”.

We have enough Senators right now to block this. If it passes, it’s because Republicans (Bennett, Voinovich, Collins, etc. ) have passed.

I am fed to the teeth with the fact that the Dems can always count on their people to pass XYZ legislature, and we have to always worry about ours. Sometimes, it makes you wonder if all that stuff about America being mostly conservative is true.

RINOs, I don’t care what anyone says, are liberals. And many people on our side (perhaps rightly) claim it as axiomatic that only RINOs can get elected in states necessary for us to get a majority. Now, if you add the RINOs and the Libs, that looks like a majority.

I hope I have not crossed the line to threadjack. Please forgive me if I have. I will just say that I DO believe this country is majority conservative, but there are certain problems to overcome to deal wtih RINOs.

I wonder, if we were to set up a site for these retired/primaried jerks, a ‘where are they now?’ site, which we could use to keep track of them and their current employers, whom we could bombard wtih protest calls, faxes, whatever, until they fired said former pol, would that work?

I guess this is Democrats giving up. There is no possible way this is good political strategy for them. After the American public just rose up and DEMANDED fiscal responsibility, they have the nerve to flip the bird to voters? And after all this hypocritical complaining that the Tea Party wasn’t more outraged about the tax compromise because it would increase the deficit? Screw you too liberals. You aren’t going to get elected again for a VERY, VERY long time.

Watching fox this morning, the byline stated “GOP fights against democratic earmark bill”. Then I hear that both parties stuffed the bill with earmarks, including the elected official, Mr. Coburn, that was being interviewed while railing against the measure. John McCain was singling out measures, and I wish he also had named names.

I have now contacted several senators regarding this disgraceful spending bill. I have made it clear to Sen. McConnell that he will not get a pass on this one if he doesn’t hold his caucus together to vote against this bill.

Finally, if Sen. Collins votes for this disgraceful bill then she must be primaried out of office.

And whatever happened to concern for the children, apart from the crappy educational system they’re forced into.
LittleLeftyLoons march along with this, not a thought, not a whimper, a hint of contradiction never crossing their diseased minds.
Dens being Dems you can understand their need to cause as much harm as possible to the people they have contempt for, not much time left.

While the Congress in session is NOT the new Congress, I would have expected this Congress to have at least listed in November.
Apparently they did not.
Let this Congress deadlock until it dissolves and the new one is sworn in, in January.
Let the new Congress which was elected on the message of Constitutionalism address the legislation on the docket in the manner appropriate.

The manner in which this bill was drafted and the content of the bill are immoral, unethical, and should be illegal. But my Senator Bob Bennett is no longer accepting contact from his constituents. What a disgrace.

Ever notice how often senators refer to their jobs as “public service”. There is precious little of that going on. I am furious.

Three rules to fix this entire corrupstion mess.

1. Lame Duck Congresses can’t pass anything but emergency, short term impact legislation.
2. Make all bills stand on their own merit, with a constitutional reference proving that that it is constitutional. No cramming bills together so that they feel they have to vote for it because of the one portion of the bill.
3. Revise the tax code, either Flat or Fair Tax. The tax code is where the lobbyist goodies are handed out, and is also being used a bludgeon on the American people.

McConnell (Mr. a falsis principiis proficisci) started the ball rolling with his surrender on the tax deal. Really. Does anyone truly believe the tax “uncertainty” between now and the next Congress is going to hurt the American people any more than Democrats and their dear leader already have? Is a worse deal will be on the table in January?

Old Mitch is also telegraphing the fact he does not have the stones for a government shutdown on the omnibus bill and can’t even keep outliers in his own party from defecting. Maybe he should go over to the House and ask San Fran Nan for some lessons?

McConnell is also getting spanked by the President by letting him co opt the Republican message.

Same fools, err, “leaders”- different session of Congress.

What are we going to DO about it?

Will thousands and thousands and thousands of conservative Americans do more than just write about their anger? Or will they actually do something about it? (Hint, hint — like, maybe, going to their local Republican Party committee meeting and actually getting involved in Party politics?)

I hope and pray they will.

Thank you.

Remember this:

Bennett said earmarks in the bill might give some of his GOP colleagues reason to hesitate but wouldn’t affect his vote. “It will be tough for some, but not for me,” he said

next time some idiot ‘pundit’ tries to sell a squishy RINO as critical to taking back our country.

It’s time to expand the Bennett model, and primary every wobbly

There should have never been a tax compromise to begin with
Call the Dems bluff http://bit.ly/hHB8p8

Evident from GOP votes and decisions now (especially Republican votes and Committee selections) McConnell and Boehner didnt really WANT to deal with any of this radical agenda LATER (after New Congress)…..because it would have gotten dealt with appropriately from a Conservative mindset.

For the GOP “we dont need the new Tea Party group (American People) to handle these things next year.” Let all the important stuff surrendered to the Dems now, so we can fake it after the New YEar and do it the OLD RINO way and not really be dealing with anything anyway.

GOP cowardice and hypocrisy is very much at the heart of what is happening now. Pitiful.

The only thing of quality happening now is Senator DeMint reading the ENTIRE scum START Bill.

Really is it even remotely shocking that Congressional leadership might be inclined to try and slip one by the goalie at the end of regulation?

Maybe now you can figure out why you ere defeated last Nov. or wuld have been defeated if not for retiring. These guys are what they are and tha is Liberal republicans. after Reagan we were lulled into thinking that Republican stood for Conservatism and it did until George H. W. Bush took office, He started the destruction of the Party of Reagan almost immediately upon taking office. then came along GW Bush who almost finished the job of destruction. Micheal Steele, John McCain, John Boehner, Karl Rove and a host of other Loberal Republicans have worked hard to tear down the party of Conservatism and make the Party into a haven for middle of the road good for nothings. Part of the problem with this tax deal right now id J Boehner and the fact that he introduced it before the new congress could be seated. He knew that the new Tea party candidates would shut this down before it started. We want the spending to stop. It has to stop now. If Obama and the Democrats really believe the deficit is too high then they have to stop spending. Not another penny should be spent until some real honest effort is put to reduce the deficit. Well there is a word you can’t associate with congress, “Honest”.

Their has to be a way to make these people pay. I know they are immune from prosecution as long as they’re in office. There is no law to hold them accountable that makes what they enact a crime. What about a civil suit, I’m going to look into this possibility. Preach of contract, (to uphold the constitution) financial loss, something. Until these elected officials are made to pay, (other than loss of office) this assault on our freedoms will continue.

From review of this document I sense:
1) Retiring members complicity sponsor earmarks so those up for re-election may appear more “pure”.
2) Democrats are much more flagrantly over-represented in the earmark sponsorship. (If the congress were Republican controlled, it might be reversed).
3) Military takes on very expensive projects -OR- wastes more money.
4) The majority party controls earmark availability.
5) Seniority begets earmark access.
6) Performance, ethics, & quality of character seem inversely rewarded – to whit – Rangel gets huge pork projects funded despite being censured for being crooked and a thief.
7) Education, agriculture, FEMA, military and Dept of Interior directed money need to develop reasonable standing budgets so the pork can go away. Actually, all current earmarks need to be justified in budgetary process or be eliminated.
If unemployment numbers included those who depend on earmark pork for their income, then we are at a functional 40% unemployment.
9) With internet releases like this, no wonder politicians want to limit public access to the internet and censor what is posted.
10) Government is broken, revolt is needed, stop paying taxes, vote against status quo.
11) Government will spend every penny they can procure.
12) Congress should not have access to discretionary tax breaks nor supplemental spending – FAIR TAX removes these potentials if applied as intended.
13) Every one of these crooks should be tried for violating their oath of office to defend the US Constitution! Give ‘em Jail time!!

Basically since the day Eric started (And for me, since the internet got the first chat room) I have been referring to RINO’S as more dangerous than Communists. I called them all pond scum or worse. I took the heat and carried on, usually using a psuedonym like wildeyed radical. At least I lived to see the traitors prove me right but it is not a good thing, all I ever really cared about was getting my country back to the good days when I grew up—For my grandchildren, not for me. Not an old man’s babble, they were good days, crime was running in the hall or chewing gum, there were two or three jobs for anybody who wanted one, the boss needed you, he tried to be good. NOW Look–It’s not nice.
