WashPost: McConnell Pledges to Avoid 'Scary' Excesses and 'Strident Stands' of 'Far Right'By Tim Graham, January 5, 2015 8:39 AM EST House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) still won’t be able to win reelection without Democratic votes, Breitbart News has learned, and he has abandoned yet another plan to try to embarrass conservatives seeking his ouster, which he was going to move forward with on Friday. The day after Pope Francis addressed the Congress for the first time—in front of a teary-eyed Boehner—the Speaker had planned to move forward by bringing forth a resolution to vacate the chair, then holding a vote for his reelection intended to prove he had widespread support in the GOP conference. newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2015/01/05/washpost-mcconnell-pledges-avoid-scary-excesses-and-strident-stands-far

McConnell is unfolding and ironing the white flag of surrender... Mitch McConnell: Our attempt to defund Obama’s executive amnesty is “stuck”; Update: Get off your asses,
posted at 11:31 am on February 11, 2015 by Allahpundit A leftover from last night. He means the Senate specifically is stuck because Democrats keep filibustering GOP bills that would make funding for Homeland Security contingent upon defunding Obama’s immigration measures, but the problem is bigger than that. The entire congressional Republican leadership is stuck. And getting unstuck won’t be easy. hotair.com/archives/2015/02/11/mitch-mcconnell-our-attempt-to-defund-obamas-executive-amnesty-is-stuck/

Everyone that voted for <name your GOPe savior> should be sooooo proud, as you are getting EXACTLY what you knew you were gonna get. It's just too bad you are dragging the country into the toilet right next to your ballot. The GOP are F-ing gutless cowards. Republicans Cave to Dem Demands, Agree to Split DHS, Immigration LegislationFeb. 24, 2015 3:14pm Pete Kasperowicz Senate Republicans on Tuesday caved in to Democratic demands by saying they’d agree to hold separate votes on a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, and another bill to defund President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration. Republicans cast the move as the only way forward to ensure that a DHS funding bill can be passed by Congress this week. Democrats have conspired to block that bill for the last several weeks, given that it currently includes language to defund Obama’s immigration action. www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/02/24/republicans-cave-to-dem-demands-agree-to-split-dhs-immigration-legislation/

Why are Republicans surrendering on amnesty?Anthony Martin, Conservative Examiner, February 24, 2015 6:48 PM MST It is a betrayal that rivals anything seen in the history of U.S. politics. During the 2014 midterm elections, Republicans running for Senate and House seats vowed that if given a chance they would stop the lawless assault on our nation from the southern border and force Barack Obama to obey immigration law. But today word has come from the Senate that the chamber is ready to cry surrender on the issue. One of the reasons for the reticence on the part of Senate Republicans is the false scare tactics being used by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Barack Obama. But rather than retreat in fear the appropriate Republican response is to step up and fight like men, sword to sword, face to face, eyeball to eyeball. Let the fickle, dumbed down crowds of the electorate be damned. Doing the right thing is infinitely more important than appeasing imbeciles. www.examiner.com/article/why-are-republicans-surrendering-on-amnesty

Dear MitchDerek Hunter, Feb 26, 2015 Dear Senator McConnell, I mean this with all due respect – you’re worthless. Actually, you’re worse than worthless; you’re the problem. You were better as minority leader. Your steering the Senate is worth than Harry Reid’s corruption. It’s almost enough to make me wish you could switch back places. What happened to all the tough talk when you were running for re-election last year about standing up for conservative principles? It seems like you lost something after November – like your pants fit a little looser, and it’s easier for you to ride a bike. You’re the majority leader of the United States Senate, I suggest you find what you lost (or at least severely tucked) and start acting like it. townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2015/02/26/dear-mitch-n1962241/page/full

McConnell uses Reid Trick Against ConservativesBy: Gaston Mooney | February 27th, 2015 At some point between now and last November, Mitch McConnell woke up one morning, stared into the mirror and had to admit he lied. He lied that a Republican Congress, specifically a Republican Senate, would act to stop Obama’s executive amnesty. Let’s roll the tape back to November 2014 when McConnell issued a press release regarding Obama’s forthcoming executive amnesty order: If President Obama acts in defiance of the people and imposes his will on the country, Congress will act. We’re considering a variety of options. But make no mistake. When the newly elected representatives of the people take their seats, they will act. – Mitch McConnell 11/20/2014Well it looks like a mistake was made. Because there are numerous reports that Congress is acting, but to fully fund the executive order that was “in defiance of the people.” www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2015/02/mcconnell-uses-reid-trick-against-conservatives

I was giving Boehner a break, hoping he would keep his word, but as expected the traitorous POS violates his oath yet again... House approves DHS funding bill, ending immigration standoffPublished March 03, 2015, FoxNews.com The House voted Tuesday to fund the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year, ending a protracted standoff that centered on objections to President Obama's controversial immigration actions. The House voted 257-167 for the legislation, sending it to Obama's desk. The final legislation includes no immigration provisions, and was carried over the finish line with mostly Democratic votes. The result is a victory for the Obama administration. www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/03/sources-house-to-vote-on-homeland-security-bill-without-immigration-conditions/

swordattheready.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/gop-rubber-stamps-obamas-dictatorship/GOP Rubber Stamps Obama’s DictatorshipThe abrogation of the Constitution and the Dictatorship of the Obama Regime is being made possible by the Republican Party leadership. In the face of what is become self-evident Uniparty rule in Washington D.C., I marvel at the multitudes who ignore what is going on and lying to themselves while demanding to be lied to, insisting in sometimes virulent outbursts that we can fix Obama’s dictatorship by simply electing more Republicans. I laugh in their face. So should we all. The “solution” to a post-Constitutional Dictatorship is to “elect” more Republicans? How stupid. How moronic. How utterly enslaved to a false belief system such people are. The fruits of the last two months of GOP leadership is is one of complete surrender to Obama; betrayal of the voters who sent them to Washington to STOP the burgeoning dictatorship; and the total violation of the oaths they all swore to uphold the Constitution . Handing the GOP both the House and Senate in November proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that giving the GOP leadership, was an exercise in futility. We might as well have just kept the Democrat Marxists in power. I keep hearing radio pundits and talk blowhards insist that Conservatives must ‘take over the GOP from within’ – as if all the evidence of the Ruling Class Oligarchy’s open warfare policy and sabotaging of their Conservative base did not exist and we are still back in the 1980s where the voters actually has a voice and influence in their party’s actions. The GOP Leadership has made it plain and crystal clear: THEY DO NOT WANT CONSERVATIVES OR CONSTITUTIONALISTS IN THE PARTY… they only want their votes, and they assume they have them because they think we have nowhere else to go. So they love it when Conservatives deceive themselves into thinking they can reform the GOP from within by simply electing more Republicans. Look, the Establishment has made it IMPOSSIBLE for Conservatives to take control of the party – not that it would make any difference to a lawless dictatorship in the White House. Single Party rule now exists at the expense of liberty and the Constitution, to the applause of a party that was supposed to be the ‘opposition’ and check on lawlessness from the Executive branch, but prefers to be the vanguards of dictatorship so they can have a seat at the table of our national carcass being carved up and devoured by pure evil. Still the ‘base’ of the GOP refuses to see, hear or understand what their party has done. That John Boehner is working closely with Democrats to ensure his own power, while the GOP Establishment’s American Action Network work with George Soro’s groups to attack and crush Tea Party Conservatives are facts that a vast majority of Republican sycophants refuse to hear or believe. This is the truth of it – Obama would not be a dictator today, if he were not empowered to act as monarch by the GOP Republican Leadership who directly enable His Heinous to shred the Constitution with their blessing. They have willfully and vehemently surrendered their Constitutional powers in an insane effort to make sure Obama is able to do his will without any obstruction. Gone are their powers of the Purse; of the filibuster; of legislating; of oversight; of impeachment. They have openly stated they will not obstruct this lawless dictator, nor with they permit anyone in their party to use the tools the Founders provided to check the Executive’s UnConstitutional power grabs. The GOP leadership and their party have FUNDED every unConstitutional decree and illegal act this regime has instigated . We no longer have representation in Washington D.C. Yet for the mind-numbed GOP Loyalists who are infected with Battered Wife Syndrome, they make excuses for their adulterer husband and willfully give themselves over mind, body and soul to more abuse. Washington will never allow itself to be fixed, and you cannot overcome a dictatorship and oligarchy via civil means, PERIOD. A lawless government will never allow itself to be restrained by law. They will become a law unto themselves, and indeed, they have already achieved that. The GOP are nothing but a rubber stamp for Obama’s Despotism m.townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2015/03/07/republicans-should-dump-the-elephant-and-adopt-a-rubber-stamp-as-their-symbol-n1966986#

Republicans start yet another 'investigation'... Of course this admin threatened these, guys! You know it, I know, they know it. But as the GOP has shown with their 'investigation' of Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the EPA scandals, the FBI scandals, the state department scandals, and the Seret Service scandals; the GOP is toothless and will do nothing of substance to hold this admin accountable. Republican Sens. Investigating Potential Exec. Amnesty Retaliation Against DHS Personnelby Caroline May31 Mar 2015312 A group of Republican senators say they are aware of allegations of workplace retaliation against Homeland Security personnel who — in conflict with the administration’s immigration policies — are “faithfully discharging the duties of the offices in which they serve.” www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/31/republican-sens-investigating-potential-exec-amnesty-retaliation-against-dhs-personnel/

There is no choice between the parties anymore. It is progressive plus versus progressive light. It doesn't matter if you race towards the cliff at 120 miles an hour or at 55 miles per hour cuz when you reach the end of the cliff you are still going over. Just keep prepping and training. My front license plate announces our only hope. It is the NC flag with the word Secede in large letters across it.

Obama agenda and legacy in the hands of federal judgesBy Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Wednesday, August 26, 2015 A federal judge in Texas has put President Obama’s deportation amnesty on hold, while another judge in the District of Columbia is poised to rule any day now on whether the House can sue to stop parts of the administration’s Obamacare spending. Meanwhile, no fewer than six federal judges in the District are refereeing Mr. Obama’s broad pledges of transparency and how they stack up against the way his State Department operated under Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/aug/26/obama-agenda-legacy-in-hands-of-federal-judges/?page=all

Mark Meadows is my representative but McHenry represents the area where my business is located. Early on I attended a town hall type meeting with McHenry. I had hopes for him early on but like most who get settled into Mordor on the Potomac he seems to have slipped over to the dark side.

GOP Representative: Mitch McConnell ‘Next Guy in the Crosshairs’by Joel Gehrke September 25, 2015 2:56 PM Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) will be the next target of conservatives frustrated with party leadership, according to one of the conservative representatives who pressured House speaker John Boehner in the weeks leading up to his resignation. “Next guy in the crosshairs will probably be McConnell,” Representative Matt Salmon (R., Ariz.) said in a text message to Senator Mike Lee (R., Utah), according to National Journal’s Sarah Mimms. Lee replied that he doubts that will happen. www.nationalreview.com/article/424646/john-boehner-resignation-mitch-mcconnell-next

Rep. Boehner Retires to Spend More Time with MoneySeptember 25th, 2015 Scott Ott (2015-09-25) — House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) will reportedly resign at the end of October to spend more time with his money. Sources close to the Republican leader said the hectic schedule of a House Speaker has made Boehner and his money feel like they’re “two ships that pass in the night,” without enough time to “linger together and nurture each other, go fishing.” scrappleface.com/2015/09/25/rep-boehner-retires-to-spend-more-time-with-money/

Thought the TEA Party was all but dead... again.
POS traitor... We 'realistically' expected a frigging Republican who PROMISED to undo the unconstitutional edicts that Obama had passed, to follow through on those promises. We 'realistically' expected that Boehner, who was specifically charged with upholding his Oath, his Honor and the Constitution, would do his damned job... But No, we weren't 'realistic' at all.
