Our Republican senators have no back bone, THAT"S what happened! There is a 1000lb. RINO in the room and he is making the conservative November election success look like a disaster.

Lindsey Graham Gives Away the Game

There has been a lot of speculation this week about why the GOP rolled over in the Senate on virtually every issue. From Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’s repeal to START to you name it
— the GOP became the party of capitulation. So much so that even Lindsey Graham is blasting the Senate GOP
“for a ‘capitulation … of dramatic proportions’ to Democrats and Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in the lame-duck Congress.”

In his statement about why the GOP folded like a cheap suit, Graham gives away the game. He says, “I can understand the Democrats being afraid of the new Republicans; I can’t understand Republicans being
afraid of the new Republicans.”

As I’ve said for a while, with many people disagreeing, the 2010 election was about moving the Senate GOP right, not moving the Senate to the GOP. This past week makes my case for me.

The Senate GOP is decidedly mushy on many fronts and unwilling for really tough fights except in odd circumstances. The Senate GOP understands that Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Pat Toomey, and
Marco Rubio are headed to the Senate as reinforcements for Jim DeMint.
They are deeply worried because of it.

Why worry? Because the Senate GOP wants to cut deals with the Senate Democrats and they know that just Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Jim DeMint will be able to force deals much more conservative than the Senate GOP
is.

So Senate Republicans decided to roll over on big issues now knowing that next year they will be forced further right than they might be comfortable.

Here’s a golden truth some of you won’t like, but is true nonetheless: Mike Lee and Rand Paul are worth ten regular Republican Senators any day of the week. They’ll fight. And they’ll win.

 

There is a "reason" you hear senate RINOS often referring to their "distinguished friends across the aisle" . . . . . they are indistinguishable and they are disgusting! They have never heard nor seen nor heeded the calls from the TEA PARTY. They are doing damage to the conservative movement. They must be targeted for further action from We the People.

So much for the filibuster! I wonder what port these crooks got? This garbage has got to stop, I hope the new ones got the message and are ready to repeal starting in January 2011!!!  Those who voted for it, if up for reelection on 2012 need t go, don't let them slip away...

"Why did the democrats get their way? "

 

Because the GOP wanted it that way.

 

Or more rightly said, the globalists who pretend some conflict, once again colluded to undermine our nation and her citizens.

 

How many times does it have to happen before people start to get it?
