The Republican Establishment is "The Jerk"



I swear, the Republican establishment reminds me of Steve Martin in the movie, “The Jerk.”  All we need is to pass immigration reform, and that’s all we need.  And, we need to let the “Bush tax cuts” expire and that’s all we need.  Or, we need to get past gay marriage, and that’s all we need.  Or, pander to this or that group and that’s all we need.

The Republican establishment has no core principles.  They are just as pathetic as Navin R. Johnson as he waddles down the sidewalk with his pants around his ankles holding the few possessions he claims is all he needs.  If they keep betraying their base they’ll find themselves homeless without a party.  But I’m sure their liberal buddies are all they need.

Here are the names of the republican senators who betrayed their constituents by passing this poor excuse of an immigration bill:

Republican Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Jeff Flake (Ariz.) — the four GOP authors of the legislation — and Sens. Bob Corker (Tenn.), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Jeffery Chiesa (N.J.), Susan Collins (Maine), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Dean Heller (Nev.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), John Hoeven (N.D.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) voted for the 1,200-page bill.
