Republican Senators Refuse to Repeal Obamacare

Republicans in Washington D.C. had better beware, because the American people are watching them.  These scoundrels promised to repeal Obamacare if only we would give them the House, Senate and presidency.  Well they have all three and yet refuse to follow through.  The following senators voted to keep this god awful,  un-American law:

Sens. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, Dean Heller of Nevada, John McCain of Arizona, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

The Washington D.C. establishment had no intention of repealing Obamacare.  These are the same people who’ve exempted themselves from the very laws they impose on the rest of us.  Apparently there are two Americas.

Former Speaker John Boehner admitted that Obamacare is here to stay and that we’d better get used to it.

“Here we are, seven months into this year, and yet they’ve not passed this bill. Now, they’re never — they’re not going to repeal and replace Obamacare,”

“It’s been around too long. And the American people have gotten accustomed to it. Governors have gotten accustomed to this Medicaid expansion, and so trying to pull it back is really not going to work.”

The fanatics who imposed Prohibition on the country had the same attitude.  They believed the 18th Amendment would never be repealed because it has never happened before.  Boy, were they shocked when the 21st Amendment passed.

Washington D.C. had better take notice.  If they can’t take care of business, we’ll do it for them with an Article V convention of states.  And believe me, we’ll do more than just repeal an unjust and un-American law.   These Potomac potlickers will regret raising the ire of the American people.

The 2014 Rino Season is Officially Open

2014 is here.  The Rino hunt has begun.  Conservatives and Tea Party activist have had enough of the status quo.  The Republican D.C. establishment has abused our good faith long enough.  The two obvious collaborators have each received a slap across the face.  The first broadside was sent to Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina last September by the Fairfield County Republican Executive Committee.  Here is their censure:

During their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, September 19, eighty-two percent of the Fairfield County Republican Party Executive Committee voted to pass a seven page Resolution censoring U. S. Senator Lindsey Graham.

Copies of the Censure Resolution were sent to Senator Graham, SCGOP Chairman Matt Moore and each SouthCarolina county chairman. The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee is set to vote on a similar censure of Sen. Graham during their regular meeting on October 7, 2013. The Resolution was introduced in August.

The Resolution listed 29 actions that Fairfield County Republicans “strongly disapprove of and hold to be fundamentally inconsistent with the principles of the South Carolina Republican Party.”

1. Voted to confirm Obama’s appointment to Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
2. Supported arming Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood Revolutionaries in Syria.
3. Supported amnesty but not border control.
4. Supported NSA spying on private American citizens.
5. Supported abridging the First Amendment for those who criticize the government.
6. Supported massive new internet sales tax.
7. Supported restrictions on the Second Amendment.
8. Supported Obama’s drone program against American Citizens.
9. Supported subordinating American sovereignty to the United Nations.
10. Supported giving foreign aid to terrorist governments in the Middle East.
11. Supported granting members of the Muslim Brotherhood high level positions in the U. S. Government.
12. Supported giving taxpayer money to international organizations.
13. Supported giving taxpayer money for excessive foreign aid, not just terrorist organizations in the Middle East.
14. Opposed principled application of free trade policies.
15. Supported restricting the First Amendment rights to criticize Islamic radicalism.
16. Opposed making Bush tax cuts permanent.
17. Supported Obama’s appointments to the Supreme Court (2010).
18. Sided with Democrats on government regulation to combat “climate change.”
19. Criticized the SCGOP for defending the Republican platform.
20. Supported Obama’s appointments to Supreme Court (2009).
21. Supported liberal proposal to nationalize banks.
22. Supported Obama’s energy taxes and Cap and Trade.
23. Supported bailouts for financial institutions (TARP).
24. Supported bailouts for independent mortgage institutions (Fanny Mae and  Freddy Mac).
25. Supported amnesty but not border control – and sided with Ted Kennedy over Jim DeMint.
26. Opposed President Bush’s conservative nominee from South Carolina to the Court of Appeals.
27. Praised Hillary Clinton’s prospects for higher office.
28. Failed to fight for President Bush’s conservative judicial nominees generally.
29. Opposed medical malpractice tort reform.

Each of the above items were accompanied with documented justification. The final paragraph in the Resolution reads as follows:

“This body takes this action and adopts this Resolution in full confidence in its own good faith, with no personal animosity or ill will to the supporters of Lindsey Graham or to Lindsey Graham himself, to whom this body extends its hand in friendship and warmly looks forward to his rejoining us as private citizen of the State of South Carolina.

And for the biggest Rino of them all, Senator John McCain was censured as well by the Maricopa County GOP.  Here is the full resolution:

Senator John McCain Censured by Arizona’s Republican Leadership

As leaders in the Republican Party, we are obligated to fully support our Party, platform, and its candidates. Only in times of great crisis or betrayal is it necessary to publicly censure our leaders. Today we are faced with both. For too long we have waited, hoping Senator McCain would return to our Party’s values on his own. That has not happened. So with sadness and humility we rise and declare:

Whereas Senator McCain has amassed a long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats, such as Amnesty, funding for ObamaCare, the debt ceiling, assaults on the Constitution and 2^nd amendment, and has continued to support liberal nominees;

Whereas this record has been disastrous and harmful to Arizona and the United States; and,

Whereas Senator McCain has campaigned as a conservative and made promises during his re-election campaigns, such as the needed and welcomed promise to secure our borders and finish the border fence, only to quickly flip-flop on those promises; and

Whereas McCain has abandoned our core values and has been eerily silent against Liberals, yet publicly reprimands Conservatives in his own Party, therefore

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Maricopa County Republican leadership censures Senator McCain for his continued disservice to our State and Nation, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that until he consistently champions our Party’s Platform and values, we, the Republican leadership in Arizona will no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. Senator.

Rino season is officially open.

Here is a Poster for Repealing the 17th Amendment

This should be the poster for repealing the 17^th Amendment.  The Senate has become a good ole boys club; not a representation of the States as was intended.

Sen. John McCain Levels Charge of Incompetence and Corruption at Barack Hussein Obama

Finally, we have a handful of senators who’ve grown a pair and are demanding an investigation into this Benghazi fiasco.  John McCain stood on the Senate floor and stated the obvious:

“This president — this administration — has either been guilty of colossal incompetence or been engaged in a coverup, neither of which is acceptable to the American people. I speak as a friend of Christopher Stevens, I speak as a person who knows something about warfare, I speak as something of an authority — that this attack could have been prevented if the information on the ground had been taken into consideration.”

But this corruption also pervades through the upper chamber of Congress.  Senator Harry Reid refuses to allow just such an investigation.

WASHINGTON — The Democratic leader in the Senate is rejecting Sen. John McCain's request for a Watergate-style congressional committee to investigate the deadly Sept. 11 raid in Libya.

In a letter Friday to McCain, Sen. Harry Reid said he refuses to allow the Senate to be used as a "venue for baseless partisan attacks." Reid said several committees in the House and Senate are already investigating the attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

McCain and two other Republicans had introduced a resolution this week calling for the special panel. Reid said the election is over, and it is time to end the politicization of national security.

Since when is an attack on one of our consulates, resulting in the death of four Americans a politicization of national security?  Let’s not forget the outright lie that a video criticizing the false prophet Muhammad was the catalyst.  These Democrats really believe the American people are stupid sheeple.  Well, maybe half the population is, after considering this past election.

And how is it that Senator Harry Reid can have so much power that he can thwart not only an investigation on Benghazi, but also not provide a budget in three years?  Maybe Senator McCain should level the charge of incompetence and corruption at the man from Searchlight, Nevada as well.

Romney's McCainesque Debate Performance

What in the hell happened last night?  Mitt Romney had a chance to knockout that smug, paper president – Barack Obama.    Instead, he held up that man/child through every round; even when this spoiled brat spat a nasty remark like this: 

Everybody knows what a disaster Obama has been for this country.  Yet, his foreign policy is lauded.  And Romney acquiesced.  I’m at a loss.  Was he trying to be presidential?  Was he trying to stay above the fray?  Is he trying to sit on a lead?

Libya was teed up, and Romney whiffed.  The Muslim Brotherhood has taken over Egypt and infiltrated the highest levels of our government.  Romney whiffed.  Iraq is turning into an Iranian backwater.  Romney whiffed.  Al Qaeda and the Taliban are taking over Afghanistan.  Romney whiffed.

During the debate, I was beginning to have flashbacks of the 2008 election.  I was beginning to wonder if Sen. John McCain had taken over Romney’s body.  I thought for sure, the republican nominee was about to call the Anointed One “my friend.”

Last night is proof positive that we haven’t exorcised the progressives out of this election cycle.  It seems some of these demons will haunt us forever.
