http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/21/new-gop-border-security-bill-removes-border-fences/ Basically, they are about to pass a bill that will gut the requirement to build a border fence. Even worse, the bill specifically requires a portion of the existing fencing to be torn down and replaced by vehicle barriers only. IOW, they want to make it even easier for illegals to cross. The bill does nothing to address obama's illegal amnesty. Polling shows their plan is deeply unpopular, particuclarly with their base, but they couldn't care less. Apparently, polling only matters when it shows negative reactions to government shutdowns. Within months of their historic victory, republicans are showing just how much contempt they have for their own voters. As odious as the democrats are, there has to be some payback for this level of betrayal.
will this finally get ann coulter to wake up. I think she hurt the cause by acting like we would be better off electing these establishment sobs. at some point if we don't see amnesty and obamacare stopped... she needs to apologize and lead the don't vote for these establishment sobs... movement.
What? No buses to transport illegals across the border? No water stations for the thirsty law breakers? No blazed trails? Sheesh. I expect more from these guys!
She did say don't vote for anyone who supports amnesty, but she probably underestimated the stupidty and venalness of these weasels. They are trying to say it is for better security, but as the article points out, that is hogwash. And, they are doing nothing to impede obama's unlawful amnesty.
more than once I saw her defending McConnell and lecturing / admonishing us that if we have to vote for these establishment weasels because they are better than the alternative. which is going to turn out to be wrong. they we put power back in the hands of leftists because they will discredit and alienate conservatives and conservative principles. by pretending to represent us and yet vote as democrats they destroy and discredit the base who voted for them. I found a link to her argument... http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2013-10-30.html True, the tea party also gave us the majestic Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson, among a few other improvements. But was Dick Lugar really the biggest problem in the U.S. Senate? Wasn't Claire McCaskill a bigger problem? And why are so many conservatives today burbling about the alleged deficiencies of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell -- while ignoring the actual crimes of Democratic senators like Mary Landrieu from Louisiana, Mark Pryor from Arkansas and Mark Begich from Alaska? All those Democrats voted for Obamacare -- and they're all up for election next year in states that could easily go Republican. If any one of these senators had voted "no" on Obamacare, it would not be law. By contrast, McConnell not only voted against Obamacare, but presided over a Senate minority in which every single Republican voted against Obamacare, even that idiot McCain. Kentucky only seems like a red state because McConnell keeps winning elections there: It went for Clinton twice and has had a solid run of Democratic governors since 1947, interrupted by one-term Republican governors only twice in 66 years. But McConnell is in hot water with Kentucky's "9/12 Project" -- a group with enough marketing savvy to have a name that no one understands. The project's executive director, Eric Wilson, is hopping mad with McConnell because, when given a choice between raising taxes on all Americans or raising taxes only on those individuals making more than $400,000 a year, he chose to raise taxes only on the high earners. It's the easiest thing in the world to be a purist, denouncing everyone else as a sellout and hack, while other people do the hard work of getting elected and preventing even rotten Republicans from voting for Obamacare. You want McConnell to stop all tax hikes? Give him a majority in the Senate. Al Franken's Senate seat is another one that should be on Republicans' radar. He stole the 2008 election in Minnesota, going from a thousand votes down the day after the election to 300 votes up a few months later, after vast numbers of Franken votes kept being discovered in heavily Democratic districts. As economist John Lott pointed out at the time, the magical appearance of hundreds of new votes for Franken was a statistical impossibility. Obamacare could not have passed without the Democrats' prodigious vote theft in Franken's 2008 election. But if the Republican candidate had won, some conservatives would now be trying to take out moderate Republican Norm Coleman for being a "RINO." The far-left Democrat won, so conservatives can't be bothered to find someone to beat him. The inability to distinguish Coleman and McConnell -- and whomever else the conservative purists have in their maw -- from Obamacare-ratifying Democrats is as insane as the left's inability to distinguish Saddam's rape rooms from the shortage of female CEOs in the U.S. Three and a half years after Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote, anyone who can't see a difference between the parties should be institutionalized. There are some fantastic congressmen who could beat Franken in 2014, such as Rep. John Kline. But liberals are counting on tea party activists to insist on running someone who can't win. Let me introduce you to Marianne Stebbins. This Ron Paul fan helped lose the 2012 Senate election in Minnesota with a libertarian candidate, who lost to the Democrat 31 percent to 65 percent. She thinks the fight within the Republican Party is "frankly ... probably a more important debate than the one going on between the Republicans and the Democrats." When your new health insurance premiums arrive in the mail, and you can't find a doctor in your plan who speaks English, tell me the fight between Republicans and Democrats is not that important.
I admit to being torn. Logically, she is right. We get annoyed when republicans backstab us, but the damage they do is generally minor compared to having democrat majorities who will pass obamacare and confirm Supreme Court justices like the two leftwing drones obama appointed. I make two exceptions however, and I am afraid they are rather large. One is getting us into pointless wars. Idiots like McCain and Lindsey Graham (seriously SC, he is the best you could come up with in the reddest state in the country?) act like they not only learned nothing from the afghan and Iraq disasters but that they were brilliant successes. Two is immigration. To be fair, Coulter has made this point repeatedly. Amnesty is a gamechanger where normal rules do not apply. Unfortunately, they tend to change their position after the election is safely past, banking on us forgetting it by the next one. Or they just lie about what they are proposing, as with this border "security" bill. It's a dilemma. We solve nothing by losing elections, but it is very frustrating to win and then still get screwed.
John Roberts became a contortionist to get Obamacare ok'd. (R) appointee. Justice Reggie Walton was nominated by George Bush and ruled that there's no reason to believe that the IRS spoiled the emails on purpose and that no real harm was done and tea party groups that got the shaft have nothing to complain about. Here he is: I'm sure his being black had nothing to do with bush nominating him. And i'm sure that rove's primary goal was to get someone who would rule properly, and not just to get someone that would allow them to say how racially sensitive they were. iow, the so called trump card that's always played at the last minute to try to reign in defectors, the judges! the judges!, is also a giant pile of crap. I just finally decided that destroying the country a little slower than the democrats is nothing for me to pat myself on the back about. The lesser of two evils is still evil. One guy I read said that whoever you voted for on election day, the gov't won. I think he is right.
we need to wash these sob traitors out in the primaries. If she is not with that... she is more establishment than she pretends. we will see how this evolves.
