Senate Republicans are caving…again
Senate Republicans have begun their cave on amnesty. Instead of standing strong and fighting Obama’s executive amnesty, and passing the House-approved DHS funding bill, Senator Mitch McConnell has floated a stand-alone bill. McConnell’s plan would gut any efforts to roll back the president’s lawlessness.
As reported in Conservative Review [1]:
It would leave in place the previous executive amnesty from 2012, DACA. What Senate Leadership won’t tell you is that the standalone bill is designed to fail. Democrats will block the bill and then Senate Republicans will move either a long-term bill to fully fund Obama’s executive amnesty and ...
Our message to Hill Republicans: Double down on DHS!
Last week, the Senate voted to begin debate on a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security before its funding runs out at the end of this month. And three times, Senate Democrats filibustered the bill because they object to language that would strip funding from President Obama’s executive amnesty [1].
Where are the Democrats’ priorities? Obviously, they’re not with funding the Department of Homeland Security.
Our Republican leaders, to their credit, have stood firm on this bill. Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is bringing up the version that passed the House. We want him to keep standing his ground, and send a very loud and ...

Conservatives to GOP: Americans Expect Republicans in Congress to Fight for the Conservative Agenda
Election 2014: A Conservative Victory
November 5, 2014
Washington, D.C.
The American people sent an unmistakable message to Washington: Voters expect Republicans in Congress to listen and fight for the conservative agenda they ran on.
- Every single newly elected Republican Senator ran on the full repeal of Obamacare. In most competitive races it was the top issue. Over 40,000 ads against Obamacare were run on behalf of winning candidates. The Republican House and Senate must now keep those campaign promises and use reconciliation to send a bill repealing Obamacare to the President.
- All but one of the newly elected Republican Senators ...
A Republic… If You Can Keep It
“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?,” inquired the anxious woman outside Independence Hall.
Benjamin Franklin’s response to Mrs. Powel was profound. “A republic, Madame, if you can keep it.”
His answer was more than a revelation of the government the framers had constructed under the new US Constitution. It was a charge – a challenge – to preserve what Abraham Lincoln would later characterize as “government of the people, by the people and for the people." Franklin understood the need for a perpetually vigilant citizenry to curtail a government, one such as ours today. Our government has forgotten its ...
Straining a School near You: Illegal Immigrant Surge Overwhelming Public Education
With the federal government secretly dumping illegal immigrants into states across the county, state and local governments are forced to financially absorb the hundreds to thousands of illegal-immigrant children. The latest Governor to oppose crippling American infrastructure is Maine Governor Paul LePaige, who says his state cannot afford to extend its limited resources to those who are not here legally.
“Our state government is here to help those who need a temporary hand up or our most vulnerable residents, such as the elderly and disabled who cannot care for themselves. But it is wrong for the federal government to force a higher burden on ...
Tea Party Activists Take Obamacare-Light Republican to Task
On August 22, Congressman Leonard Lance (R-NJ) held a town hall in Long Hill Township. There, he faced MoveOn.org and SEIU activists – and a contingent of Tea Party activists.
According to Morris County Tea Party leader Mahesh Ganorkar, the Congressman supports what Ganorkar calls a “revolving door” on Obamacare. “Congressman Lance said he wants to get rid of Obamacare, but also says he supports parts of Obamacare’s reform, including allowing kids to stay on parental health insurance until the age of 26 and eliminating pre-existing conditions.”
“The Congressman said he will vote to defund Obamacare if a bill to do so came to the ...
Laughable Claim: Moderate Republicans are Endangered Species
In 2011, Froma Harrop said Tea Party activists were engaging in “economic terrorism” over the debt ceiling, and later called activists “saboteurs.” Now she’s back, lamenting the alleged loss of the moderate Republican.
Harrop’s piece is worth reading, in all of its flawed glory, because it is a textbook case of the factually-challenged view that moderates are good for America, Republicans have lost their moderates, and the insinuation that the Democratic Party is reasonably centrist.
First, her opening:
Moderate Republicans are, were, good things. I use the past tense "were" because as they became rarities, the centrists' chief ...
Another Republican Choosing Beltway Over America
Last week, The Miami Herald reported that Mississippi Congressman Alan Nunnelee (R-MS) told constituents at a town hall that he is not going to stand with fiscal conservatives in the upcoming fight over Obamacare:
Nunnelee said he has voted 40 times to repeal or dismantle the law. But he told the crowd: "If we shut down government, Obamacare will continue to be funded."
Once again, well-meaning or not, a Republican is kowtowing to the mainstream media/Democratic Party’s messaging before this final fight against Obamacare has even taken place. No fiscal conservative has said shutting down the government is a goal of the delay/defund effort. In ...
How to Lose Public Trust in 10 Days
Tea Party organizations in Tennessee have long taken issue with the voting record of Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN). This came to a head recently with a letter from 20 Tea Party and 9/12 organizations demanding the Senator not run for re-election because of his willingness to compromise away what Tennessee Republican activist Matt Collins noted is the Washington version of compromise:
When politicians talk about compromise, that usually means they are compromising our liberty, our property, and our money.
The Beltway version of compromise is not the only black mark against Senator Alexander. Investigative reporting by News Channel 5’s Ben Hall in ...
