Unbelievable. 

The current crop hasn't been ridged enough for this radical dictator we have.

They have ended up giving in on many things. I guess you think the government can function without congress just like Obama does huh

how about we start with the debt ceiling?

although I don't have all night, I do work for a living. So the debt ceiling is a great place to start, don't you think?

What is ironic is that Cantor's view as well as his voting history supports some relaxation of the immigration laws, i.e., immigration reform is supported by a majority of registered Republicans according to a poll cited on Fox tonight.  According to that poll 54% of registered Republicans support immigration reform.  Kinda funny actually . . .

BUT,  many are saying it was his liberal position on an immigration bill that did it,  and what's not consistent is Lindsey Graham actually co-sponsored the same immigration bill and he just beat all his 6 or 8 opponents bad enough that he doesn't even need a runoff.

Go figure.  Schizophrenic voters who knows.

it was the amnesty thing for cantor, but I see you are falling for the trick that it wasn't. they want you to think that because they don't want to be forced to accept that they must stop their shit.

and I realize its odd, but people in different states are actually different. And I don't recall hearing Lindsey in public giving into amnesty, do you?

immigration reform does not mean open the flood gates and amnesty. and if those so called republicans believe that then shit on them too.

I'd rather be in the minority and right then in the majority and stupid.

I'm not in the habit of chopping off my own head. get my drift?

Uh Chrissy, you need to get updated on the facts.  He never voted for any bill involving amnesty or 'opening the floodgates' all that is political propaganda and they fell for it.  Like I said, there seems to be no room for a statesman in the GOP.

Can you clarify what you mean by moving further to the right?

I take that comment to mean what you really want is what I said earlier, a bunch of (R)'s who vote exactly like the (D)'s. You know a hidden one party system.

and if the (R)'s don't vote with the (D)'s on every little socialistic thing then they are far far right wing nut Nazi's. right?

How long has it been since the R's voted with the D's on anything?

What would be nice to see in DC would be two parties that have the best interest of the country and its people in mind over the best interests of their individual parties. Sure they can have different views on how to accomplish various things like improving our infrastructure or education system but they must remember how to compromise in order to progress.

The current crop of R's is so ridged they keep shooting themselves in the foot, cutting off their noses to spite their faces and as a result we have, as has been pointed out previously, the least productive congress in our nation's history.

Congress has become basically dysfunctional.

I would say that at least in part 'moving further to the right' means continuing to act as if government is somehow the enemy, that it can do nothing well or right. Of course they take the military out of that equation but never mind that.

The way I understand it from just listening to Fox News,  is Cantor and Graham had the same position on immigration.  And Cantor lost big while Graham won big.

dream on commie man.

We are going to send a message to those American people hating blood suckers in the whitehouse. And that message is we are not going to tolerate the destruction of our country and its constitution.

We expect to be represented.

The borders must be closed and legal immigration protected.
Our debt must be controlled, not ignored into oblivion
This is NOT a welfare state
This is NOT a police state
This is NOT a country where the GOV picks winners and losers in industry


Oh I could go on. But that's enough. I'm sure you disagree with everyone of those things I mention. So suck ass.

Unfortunately cantor left that move exposed and didn't drive home the point that we were being lied to straight to our faces. To me that meant he was more concerned with his political ambitions than the people he swore to represent... just another govt shill pretending to protect we the people.

Golly, it now appears that you and I are on the same path -- totally opposed to Amerika Inc. Right? Welcome aboard!

Shall we simply do away with borders all together? You'll find a great deal of support for that from soros and the un.
