Bless their hearts, McConnell and Boehner came out after the mid-terms with a new tone, they had heard the voice of the people, and they understood the message! Then... they proceeded to give in and cave on virtually everything Obama and the Democrats put before them in this lame duck session. Amazing!
For probably the first time in American history, the losing party in a lame duck session, was able to pass numerous bills with huge social reforms, and massive appropriations on their way out the door. Leaving Republicans wondering, what the hell happened? We have an historic blowout election, the likes of which haven't been seen in 70 years, and the LOSING party, is able to ram through all of this absolute garbage, before we can seat the newly elected Congress? Legislation the new Congress would have NEVER supported! In a matter of a few weeks, the GOP was able to completely erase all political momentum gained from the massive landslide on Nov. 2, and give Obama and Company 'victory' after 'victory' to crow about, enough so, that Obama has now been dubbed 'The New Comeback Kid!' What's more, it was a total affront to the democratic process itself. The voters resoundingly sent a message to Washington, and voted these people out of power, yet they were able to raid our coffers one last time, for old time sake! Republicans not only stood by and watched it happen, they participated in it, and tried to claim it was "the best deal we could get!"
The GOP should have defiantly REJECTED the compromise agreement on the Bush tax cuts. They should have forced taxes to go up on Jan. 1, then the new Congress could have came back and lowered them on Jan. 5, on OUR terms! They should have stuck to being the 'Party of NO!' And ALL of this shit, should have been stonewalled, filibustered, and denied, until the seating of the new Congress. Instead, the GOP decided to suddenly become the 'Party of YES!' ....Because, that's what the American people want... they want us to all get along! That's the message from the voters in the recent elections... Republicans should try to be nicer, get along with, and work together more with the Democrats and Obama... 'cause that's what we really want! This is precisely why I said I didn't think the GOP "got it!"
No, Establishment Pubs, we DON'T want you to "get along" with Democrats! We didn't elect you to "get along" with them! We elected you to stand up and fight them, and not relent! That is exactly why many of your colleagues have been sent home, and apparently why we will have to continue sending you home, as your various elections come up. We want people to stand up and fight for Conservative principles and values, like Jim DeMint, Jeff Sessions and Michelle Bachman are doing. This was no time to cave in and give in to liberal Democrats, and allow Obama one 'victory' after another! What has happened in this lame duck session, is a total embarrassment to the GOP and highly offending to true Conservatives.
