"Kevin McCarthy, third in line in the House GOP leadership, all but said that the Hastert Rule, which Boehner’s House has violated 3 times recently, is dead. No more. Sleeps with the fishes. It has simply ceased to be alive.
Which means, essentially, that the GOP leadership’s plan to “re-brand” the party is to freeze out conservatives entirely, ignore the wishes of those who foisted them into power to begin with as part of the TEA Party revolution, and “reach across the aisle” to “compromise” with Democrats — a tactic that is misleading, because rather than “reaching” across the aisle, what will actually be happening is that the GOP House leadership will literally cross the aisle and join the other side to pass legislation that a small minority of establishment Republicans support, caucusing with the vast majority of Democrats against the vast majority of Republicans. This includes, among other things, “reasonable gun control measures” and “comprehensive immigration reform.”
Has it really come to the point that everyday citizens who want their government to adhere faithfully to the constitution, and to spend the public's money prudently and wisely, are to be called radicals, terrorists, and evil doers? It appears to be so.
The article goes on:
"But here’s the thing, all you RINOs with your new fidelity to the “Colin Powell Rule:” when you return home to your districts and pretend to be conservatives, we’ll be there waiting, making it clear to your relied-upon constituency that once you leave the district and head back to DC, you have no intention of honoring their wishes. And we’ll have candidates to challenge you in the primaries. Potential citizen legislators who are interested in reining in government, not joining its permanent ranks."
Hear, hear! On to the ramparts! The political battle continues for the soul of our country.
