GOP Leaders Broke Their Pledge to America by David Bozell 26 Mar 2014 When House Republicans penned their Pledge to America in 2010, they convinced American voters they would advance a conservative agenda if they regained control of the House that year. Four years later, what promises have they actually delivered? ObamaCare is still intact, our national debt has grown by $3 trillion, and Republicans have capitulated to Democrats on every issue from the debt ceiling to the budget. Republican leaders in both the House and the Senate have failed conservatives and have failed to keep their Pledge to America. Let’s examine how the GOP pledge has fallen flat. www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/03/25/GOP-Leaders-Broke-their-Pledge-to-America

It worked out so well for 'em last time that the GOP elitists are ready to toss away 2016 election... because, in putting up another Bush, that is exactly what they are doing. FU Bush dynasty and FU GOP... you worthless anti-american dolts. GOP donors reportedly working to draft Jeb Bush for 2016 presidential runPublished March 30, 2014, FoxNews.com A group of top Republican donors have reportedly begun an intense effort to draft former Florida governor Jeb Bush into the race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. A Washington Post report quotes one major donor as saying that the "vast majority" of the top 100 givers to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney would back Bush in a nomination fight. www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/03/30/gop-donors-reportedly-working-to-draft-jeb-bush-for-2016-presidential-run/

Traitors all... John Boehner and Eric Cantor are Committing Political Suicide; Details Here:March 29, 2014, By Jennifer Burke Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner is offering his support to a PAC whose mission is to destroy the Tea Party and other conservatives within the Republican Party. Joining him in this effort are Eric Cantor and 26 other members of the GOP. These Republican leaders will attend a swanky $5,000 per person event at the Ritz Carlton at Amelia Island in Florida. www.tpnn.com/2014/03/29/john-boehner-and-eric-cantor-are-committing-political-suicide-details-here/

givemeliberty01.com/2014/03/31/republican-leadership-slaps-members/Republican Leadership Slaps Members This is from The Daily Caller. I am not surprised by this move as Bonehead Boehner and his cronies are becoming more like the DemocRats. This is why Republican members of both houses of Congress need replaced with Tea Party candidates. Conservatives were not the only ones who took issue with the vote. “I’ve seen a lot of dumb things, but I’ve never seen anything quite as comical as this,” Democratic Michigan Rep. John Dingell told Roll Call. According to a senior House aide, there was nothing deceptive about the way the vote went through. A handful of members on both sides of the aisle were opposed to the bill, but most did not want to hold up the bill given the Monday deadline. Republicans, in particular, were aware that the bill would likely only get less conservative if it was altered. The decision to hold a voice vote was agreed to by both sides of the aisle. Before the voice vote happened, the senior aide said, Republican leadership met with a number of the most vocal opponents in the conference — largely doctors — and let them air their concerns and informed them that the bill would be brought up as a voice vote, giving them the option to come to the chamber and insist on a roll call vote.

No, the voters in VA have spoken... any state that would elect a corrupt Dem retard like McAuliffe is getting exactly what they deserve.
I was stationed in VA from 87-94 and other than being a tax sponge it was a decent place, although I would not choose to live there again, mainly due to the libtards totally taking over the state.

Why the GOP Should Say No to JebBy Myra Adams, 1 APR 2014, The Daily Beast With Chris Christie in deep trouble, Republican poobahs are reportedly looking to Jeb Bush to save their party in 2016. The former two-term governor of Florida speaks fluent Spanish, is a convert to Catholicism, and has high name recognition. Jeb could raise millions of dollars over night by just saying “yes” to running. Despite all this, there are strong reasons Republicans should say no to him. news.yahoo.com/why-gop-no-jeb-094500788--politics.html

Republicans: GOP leaders ‘deceived’ usBy Russell Berman - 04/02/14 03:03 PM EDT House Republican leaders got an earful in two separate private meetings Wednesday from conservatives fuming over their move last week to pass a Medicare payment fix without a full House vote. The leadership on Thursday had abruptly put up a bill to prevent a cut in Medicare reimbursements to doctor, passing it by voice vote rather than holding a recorded roll-call vote. Few members were on the House floor to object, angering conservatives who accused the leadership of subverting the democratic process. thehill.com/homenews/house/202464-house-republicans-gop-leaders-deceived-us#ixzz2xl8MZylo

coldfury.com/2014/04/08/repeal-replace-dont-be-a-holding-your-breath/“Repeal, replace”? Don’t be a-holding your breath We must elect more Republicans, and help them retake the Senate this year. We absolutely must; it’s, like, crucially, critically, vitally important. N’ stuff. Exactly why, I have no idea. Remember the sham vote the House GOP leadership held the week before last to increase Medicare spending over the level it was supposed to be? Well, via Monty King of the DOOMED, it turns out there was a little something extra in the bill…an ObamaCare “fix”. The merits of this particular policy are neither here nor there. The House GOP talks a big game in public and then rams through a provision that not only puts the GOP’s fingerprints on ObamaCare but gives vulnerable Senate Democrats a talking point, “See, we can fix ObamaCare if the Republicans would just be flexible and reasonable like they were in this case!” The whole idea behind not “fixing” ObamaCare is that in order to do the heavy lifting of repealing it you need as many people angry about it as possible. If you start pealing off repeal supporters, you’re helping eliminate pressure to actually repeal the damn thing. But let’s be honest, “repeal” is just some BS Republicans tell people to win their votes. When push comes to shove, they will tinker with it and call it a day. All you have to believe to support the GOP is that the key to reducing government is spending more and “fixing” ObamaCare is the only way to repeal it. But hey…Go Team GOP! Yay! Suddenly, I’m reminded of a bumper sticker I used to see in Atlanta: “Go Braves! And take the Falcons with ya.” Call it another dismaying Republican betrayal of “principle” (if any); call it “pragmatism” or “winning” or whatever you like. I’m calling it business as usual for the liars and frauds of the GOP, and I’m saying to hell with it, and them.

The GOP Dirt-bags had better get used to the losing side of these fights... that is why Boehner and McConnell are so hell bent on taking out the TEA Party, the writing is on the wall and the GOP elitist know they are just as doomed as the socialist Dems. Facing Resignation Calls, Mississippi GOP Chairman Dubs Tea Party Leaders 'Fanatical'by Matthew Boyle 15 Apr 2014 The chairman of the Mississippi GOP, Joe Nosef, reacted angrily to Tea Party groups calling for his resignation this week, accusing one local activist of secretly working to elect Democrats and saying some “fanatical” Tea Party groups could jeopardize the GOP's hold on a senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the nation, according to emails obtained by Breitbart News. In the emails, Joe Nosef, the chairman of the Mississippi Republican party, told Mississippi Tea Party president Janis Lane that “help[ing] Democrats win...appears to be your goal.” Nosef also emailed to a list of Republicans that the groups calling for his head were so crazy they could imperil the GOP's hold on Sen. Thad Cochran's senate seat. “These people are getting so fanatical [that] this will put everything in danger regardless of who wins” the upcoming GOP primary, he wrote, adding, “I refuse to continue to spend time dealing with these people.” www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/04/15/These-People-Facing-Resignation-Calls-MS-GOP-Chairman-Sounds-Off-In-Emails

Rand Paul jumps on the GOP elites Amnesty Train to the detriment of American Workers... Rand Paul Backs Work Visas for Illegal Immigrantsby Tony Lee 23 Apr 2014 Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) believes the country's illegal immigrants should be given work visas and be allowed to remain in the United States. The potential 2016 presidential contender spoke at the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago on Tuesday and told David Axelrod, President Barack Obama's former top adviser who now heads the institute, that he did not vote for the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform bill. He did not do so because it did not grant enough work visas in the agricultural and construction industries. The Congressional Budget Office determined that bill would lower the wages of American workers. www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/04/22/Rand-Paul-Work-Visas-for-All-Illegal-Immigrants

After hailing the Senate's amnesty bill that the Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of American workers, Valerie Jarrett, Obama's senior advisor, told attendees at the yearly invitation-only SkyBridge Alternatives Conference that Boehner would help the White House make a push get immigration reform enacted in the next three months. www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/15/Valerie-Jarrett-We-Have-a-Commitment-from-Boehner-to-Try-to-Pass-Amnesty

Truth is a always relevant to your opinion.
On a closer to home note!
------------------------- —By Molly Redden Source: MotherJones Mon May 19, 2014 10:15 AM EDT Chris Carlson/AP As hydraulic fracturing ramps up around the country, so do concerns about its health impacts. These concerns have led 20 states to require the disclosure of industrial chemicals used in the fracking process. North Carolina isn’t on that list of states yet—and it may be hurtling in the opposite direction. On Thursday, three Republican state senators introduced a bill that would slap a felony charge on individuals who disclosed confidential information about fracking chemicals. The bill, whose sponsors include a member of Republican party leadership, establishes procedures for fire chiefs and health care providers to obtain chemical information during emergencies. But as the trade publication Energywire noted Friday, individuals who leak information outside of emergency settings could be penalized with fines and several months in prison. “The felony provision is far stricter than most states’ provisions in terms of the penalty for violating trade secrets,” says Hannah Wiseman, a Florida State University assistant law professor who studies fracking regulations. The bill also allows companies that own the chemical information to require emergency responders to sign a confidentiality agreement. And it’s not clear what the penalty would be for a health care worker or fire chief who spoke about their experiences with chemical accidents to colleagues. “I think the only penalties to fire chiefs and doctors, if they talked about it at their annual conference, would be the penalties contained in the confidentiality agreement,” says Wiseman. “But [the bill] is so poorly worded, I cannot confirm that if an emergency responder or fire chief discloses that confidential information, they too would not be subject to a felony.” In some sections, she says, “That appears to be the case.” The disclosure of the chemicals used to break up shale formations and release natural gas is one of the most heated issues surrounding fracking. Many energy companies argue that the information should be proprietary, while public health advocates counter that they can’t monitor for environmental and health impacts without it. Under public pressure, a few companies have begun to report chemicals voluntarily. North Carolina has banned fracking until the state can approve regulations. The bill introduced Thursday, titled the Energy Modernization Act, is meant to complement the rules currently being written by the North Carolina Mining & Energy Commission. Wiseman adds that, other than the felony provision, the bill proposes disclosure laws similar to those in many other states: “It allows for trade secrets to remain trade secrets, it provides only limited exceptions for reasons of emergency and health problems, and provides penalties for failure to honor the trade secret.” Draft regulations from the North Carolina commission have been praised as some of the strongest fracking rules in the country. But observers already worry that the final regulations will be significantly weaker. In early May, the commission put off approving a near-final chemical disclosure rule because Haliburton, which has huge stakes in the fracking industry, complained the proposal was too strict, the News & Observer reported. For portions of the Republican-controlled North Carolina government to kowtow to the energy industry is not surprising. In February, the Associated Press reported that under Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, North Carolina’s top environmental regulators previously thwarted three separate Clean Water Act lawsuits aimed at forcing Duke Energy, the largest electricity utility in the country, to clean up its toxic coal ash pits in the state. Had those lawsuits been allowed to progress, they may have prevented the February rupture of a coal ash storage pond, which poured some 80,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River. “Environmental groups say they favor some of the provisions [in the Energy Modernization Act],”Energywire reported Friday. “It would put the state geologist in charge of maintaining the chemical information and would allow the state’s emergency management office to use it for planning. It also would allow the state to turn over the information immediately to medical providers and fire chiefs.” However, environmentalists point out that the bill would also prevent local governments from passing any rules on fracking and limit water testing that precedes a new drilling operation.
