If this is true, a question for Republicans...

I am a conservative who has not donated to the RNC in a decade. I think I've hit my breaking point with the party if this is true. My question, if this is true, would you still donate and actively support the Republican Party?

Yesterday, Coach is Right published facts concerning an avenue which honest and courageous congressional Republicans might follow in their efforts to bring to justice those responsible for the criminal misadventure of Operation Fast and Furious and its subsequent cover-up. The following represents current news of a vastly different approach.


Congressman John Boehner, the House Speaker better known for displays of weeping than of courage, is reportedly cutting a deal with Eric Holder which would provide a “mutually satisfactory” outcome in Barack Obama’s criminal, gun running endeavor Operation Fast and Furious.

Months ago, Boehner prevented Darrell Issa filing a charge of perjury against Holder even after documents proved the Attorney General’s May 4th House testimony concerning the date of his first “acquaintance” with Fast and Furious to be an outright lie. And now the weepy Speaker will OFFICIALLY let the most corrupt Department of Justice head in the nation’s history off the hook for complicity in the Regime’s murderous scheme to savage the 2nd Amendment rights of the American people.

The terms of the betrayal John Boehner is currently putting together:

The Committee will accept the scalps of [Lanny] Breuer and [Jason] Wienstein, DOJ will release enough of the (documents) to condemn them, claim cooperation (thus giving the appearance of recognizing congress’s oversight authority), and Holder will survive – looking like a “leader” for offering them up (along with a few lower level ATF and DOJ folk). The Committee will chalk one in the “Win” column for oversight and holding people accountable. DOJ will have the same for cooperating and accountability. (1)
 
Letting Holder get away with this is outrageous. However, ABO in 2012 still applies. But sadly, I think he's going to pull off reelection. Republicans would be better served taking back the Senate.
 
I agree totally. If GOP retains the House and takes the Senate Obama will learn the true meaning of compromise. I think right now America approves this type of split and knows neither party will abuse a consolidated power.
 
Indeed, and we saw how Republicans lost their way even more after having the House, Senate and White House. Obama is terrible enough in the White House. Being able to stop Obamunism in the Senate would make an excellent counterweight. And quite frankly, taking back the Senate is a more doable and realistic goal.
 
One way or the other, Boehner has got to go. Despite his rhetoric, he is not serving the interests of the conservative movement well.
 
Exactly, conservaitves have every right to be upset with this level of "leadership". We have been selling out to the left on the budget and debt for far too long. It tarnished Bush's legacy, cost us trillions, and now we're cutting deals to let poor negligent politicians off the hook while the little people die for their political causes?

Enough is enough.
 
I officially left the GOP in 2002 when Bush proved to everyone he was an establishment Republican...It didn't take long for Boehner to prove he's one too. The RNC has called me two or three times a year over the last decade and everytime I talk to them I get a chance to scream at one of their flunkies. I tell them I'll consider coming back and donating when they prove they're not Democrat Light anymore. There are still a couple of Republicans I vote for at the state level and one at the national level...other than that, I vote for the Constitution Party candidate or I write someone in. People say I'm wasting my vote, but I feel that a vote for "the lesser of two evils" is still a vote for evil.

Holder should at least be removed from his post...at most, be brought up on criminal charges. Any private citizen would be imprisoned for what his department did...
 
Understood, I've helped out locally and attended rallies locally. But Boehner's leadership has further discouraged the Tea Party and only serve to diminsh conservatism, which is worse for the party and for the country.

Somewhat non-partisanaly, I'll point out...that is impossible, unless you want to lose the House.

Boehner is Speaker of the House, barring some scandal, his own caucus won't oust him because it would show the GOP House as fractured if not in the depths of a bloody "civil war"...that will completely ruin their credibility and let the Democrats seem the "sane party".

If the GOP retains the House this fall, the caucus will vote again for who they want for Speaker. Boehner's only possible rivals would be his Majority Leader Cantor or the Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy....both were hand-picked by Boehner and despite Cantor's occasinoal "good cop/bad cop" routine....neither would betray him by running against him.

Another candidate trying to do so would be smashed, again by House Repubs who don't want to appear to be in total disarray, chaos, or "tearing each other apart" in front of the Media and the public.

So...unless you want to have Democrats re-take the majority in the House of Reps....you're stuck with Tangerine Tan.
 
I've never been a loyal member of the GOP, as it walks too frequently in lockstep with the religious right. I'm seldom surprised when politicians turn out to be, omigod, politicians.

I'd love ot see Holder hung out to dry for the incompetent actions of the BATF on his watch, but I've never thought it would happen as a matter of political reality. This is probably "the best we're gonna get" and it's quite possible Boehner has an under-the-table deal to get something in return (probably related to defense spending in his district, but that's just a guess).

ABO remains what I hope for in 2012, but frankly, I wish the GOP would run someone with more chance of winning.

Romney? He's personally boring (I've actually met him one-on-one) and I'm sorry, but the vast majority of American's think the Mormon faith is wierd.

Santorum? To easily smeared by the same media that was in the tank for Obama last time. (A newspaper in Iowa during the caucuses ran the headline, "Santorum surges from behind" -- clearly they were in on the joke).

That leaves Gingrich, who sadly was a great stone-throwing radical speaker, but who alienates women so badly that he might have trouble being elected president of the church raffle committee, much less the United States.

I wanted Rubio to run. And he will, but not against Obama.
 
Biden running in 2016? That caliber of candidate for the Democrats would be no better than the Republican candidate running this year...maybe even worse.

Number, I think we can both agree that it's VERY likely an incumbent Vice-President would run for the Presidency, yes?

I'd hope he wouldn't...he's a weak candidate. Especially if the GOP runs Rubio and Marco is able to keep his mouth in check.
 
I have no doubt that Biden will run...his ego won't let him sit it out. However, if he gains the nomination, I'm thinking Larry Craig could run against him and win. Conservatives would giddily welcome that in the same manner as you guy giddily hoping Newt wins.

Of course by that point, America will be destroyed and/or a "third world country", due to that evil Kenyan Kommie Muslim/Radical Liberation Christian being re-elected....won't it?

Yep...that or locked into a civil war with the colors being blue on one side and red on the other (instead of gray). You may have to move north to take up arms...Virginia is historically a red state.

Went for the President in 2008....polls show him 47-43 over Romney. We ain't your grand-daddy's Old Dominion any more...despite Governor Bob and the State House.

It's like when BushCo protected Al Gonzolas & Dick Cheney & targeted Scooter Libby instead of those who really gave out classified agents names, thus putting agents & all of America in harms way.

So those on the right loved the corruption then. So get over it, you guys set the standard & now all follow it.


All hail King Blam !!!!
 
Guess you must have missed this word in my post...

Virginia is historically a red state.

But taking your point, that's okay, y'all didn't do the Confederacy much good either. ; )
