There are 48 Republicans in the U.S. Senate. They had the opportunity this week to stop a national train wreck, but instead, two of them abstained, and 25 of them voted to impose Marxism upon the American people in the form of Obamacare. To their credit, 19 Republican senators voted “NO”. That is to say that 41% of the Republicans voted for the Constitution.
Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, gave us a glimpse of how he thinks when he said, “When you fund it, you own it.” Translated, that means, “We’re fine with Socialism, we just want to be the party that controls it.”
Of all the lessons that we can learn from this disgraceful display of subservience to what they perceive as “popular opinion” – something cooked up for them by the mainstream media (using swamp gas from the Potomac) – it is that 27 Republican senators are more concerned with exercising power than they are with upholding their oaths of allegiance to the Constitution of the United States.
Obamacare would now be defunded, if only two more of those senators had voted “NO”. Instead, the bill goes back to the House of Representatives, where they are supposed to reconcile the differences. They won’t, and the bill will die, and with it the chance to defund Obamacare.
Senator Ted Cruz filibustered for more than 21 hours so that more than anything else his fellow Republicans in the Senate would listen to the American people and use every tool at their disposal to stop and defund Obamacare. We are now seeing the Group of Prostitutes (GOP) who have turned on Ted Cruz. “He doesn’t play well with others.” Well, imagine that! Maybe that’s why so many Texans are proud of Ted Cruz, and want to replace John Cornyn.
The list of now infamous Republicans, nearly all of whom the conservative base should never again trust on any issue, are;
Not Voting At All:
Jeff Flake-Arizona
Orrin Hatch-Utah
Voting For Cloture and thus the funding of Obamacare:
