Rinos Sell Us Out Again

[Jroc]

Spineless Republicans sell out the country again


[

B]Compromise, Senate GOP Style[/B]

Who could have predicted the outcome of the latest filibuster imbroglio in the Senate? Republicans paid the full ransom. What else is new?

Once again, Mitch McConnell outsourced his leadership position to the McCain-Graham duo. He tapped them, along with Bob Corker and Roger Wicker – all from solid red states – to negotiate a compromise with Reid and Schumer over the filibuster and executive nominations. What could go wrong?

The outcome produced a compromise similar to the deals the Israelis cut with the Palestinians. In other words, it was all one-sided. Republicans agreed to allow Richard Cordray to direct the Consumer Financial Protection Board, even though he was originally appointed illegally. The following senators voted for cloture:
◾Ayotte (NH)
◾Blunt (MO)
◾Chambliss (GA)
◾Coats (IN)
◾Collins, S. (ME)
◾Corker (TN)
◾Flake (AZ)
◾Graham, L. (SC)
◾Hatch (UT)
◾Hoeven (ND)
◾Isakson (GA)
◾Johanns (NE)
◾Kirk (IL)
◾McCain (AZ)
◾Murkowski, L. (AK)
◾Portman (OH)
◾Wicker (MS)
The entire purpose of the CFPB is to limit the choices of consumers in financial markets, making it harder and more expensive to obtain credit. This unaccountable agency will operate autonomously within the Federal Reserve and will not be subjected to congressional appropriations or oversight. Now Republicans will have no leverage to preclude this time bomb from taking root. Worse, they gave away their bargaining chip to strike down all the illegal rules that were issued by the agency while Cordray was illegitimately serving at its helm.

They also agreed to open the door wide for the nomination of Tom Perez as Labor Secretary and Gina McCarthy as director of the EPA. Republicans claim they won a victory because Obama agreed to pull his two illegally appointed members to the NLRB – Richard Griffin and Sharon Block. However, they basically agreed to confirm any alternatives to those two leftists. Politico is reporting that Obama has already picked the replacements, one of which is the associate general counsel at the AFL-CIO. Evidently, they were both picked in consultation with Richard Trumka. Cordray and the new NLRB appointees will seek to validate the previous actions taken by the agencies as soon as they are confirmed.

Perhaps, the most important outcome of this deal is that Republicans have signaled that as long as Reid throws a temper tantrum about the nuclear option, they are willing to pay the ransom

OOps... I misspelled Rhinos can someone fix that for me?

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

It's always the same. They are nothing more than libruls in GOP establishment clothing..

 

[Seawytch]

No, you spelled it correctly. You're referring to a Republican In Name Only...RINO, not the animal rhino.

Ooh, bad bad compromise.

Yeah. It's horrible when they spend their time doing their job rather than trying to enforce a mindless ideology on the entire country.

No, come to think of it the real RINOs are the ones who won't do their job and spend their time trying to enforce a mindless ideology.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

Senate Oath of Office

 

[rightwinger]

Compromise is for pussies.........drive them out of the party

 

[Gardener]

compromise= selling out?

you guys confuse politics with religion.

 

[Edgetho]

I am not one to stick up for RINOs, but the truth is -- Harry Reid wasn't bluffing and we were sitting there with a Jack-high hand against someone who just drew two cards.

We had no choice. We were going to lose no matter what.

This way, we didn't lose as bad.

Talk to me when we re-take the Senate and the RINOs are holding hands with dimocraps.

THAT is what's sickening

I have to agree with Edge. This was the lesser of the losses and it really was not a loss at all. Every indicator shows Conservatives reclaiming the Senate and holding the House.. Progressives can have the lame duck 2 yr Presidency.. it won't do them any good.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

No, you spelled it correctly. You're referring to a Republican In Name Only...RINO, not the animal rhino.

Ooh, bad bad compromise.

An actual rhino would be preferable.

 

[Sallow]

No, you spelled it correctly. You're referring to a Republican In Name Only...RINO, not the animal rhino.

Ooh, bad bad compromise.

Because when you are looking to "break" a thing..making it work is bad bad bad.

Where in the Constitution is the part where the President has to get 60 votes on every cabinet member or judge appointment from the Senate?

 

[Harry Dresden]

It's always the same. They are nothing more than libruls in GOP establishment clothing..

they're worst than most liberals, they're sells outs no backbone

so why dont you Far Righties start your own Party?.....no moderates or "Liberal" Republicans....... see how far that gets you....

We're going to take over the Republican Party via primary elections and win the presidency.

Hide in the bushes. Watch and cry.

Looks like Jeff Flake has turned out to be as cheap a date as Rubio.
