Punishing the Paulians [Schweikert, Jones, Amash, Huelskamp]

[Tudo]

-rep for calling Rand a traitor.

Rand is trying as hard as he can to save our asses; even ignorant ones.

Yeah he did good with the iran vote. Please ignore me. I don't like you either. Youre a hypocrite. I negged you back.

Now make sure you go and try to zing me again behind my back. That would be par for the course.

Phoney. This place is lost precisely because of people like rand paul who talk the talk but when it comes to stand up, they lay down. Just like he did with his Father and just like he did with Iran and as long as people like you support phoney's like that there will be no change. None.

I don't think Boehner is smart enough to pull this off.. I wonder who's pulling the strings.

(or whose hand he's got up his...)

 

[AuH20]

Boehner and Cantor have to be CFR or at least CFR influenced via K Street:

September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.".[30]

Maybe that's why the traitor rand paul did what he did? To stay in bed with these scumbags. Good voting on iran rand!

My offers stand $500 for a direct score with tomato/rotten egg. Multiple scores get multiple checks/cash anyway you want it

Look around. You have significant problems that go far beyond Rand Paul. Sheesh.

This sort of thing is going on at the local level too. A friend of mine was elected PCO for the Republican party. He showed me a form that he is supposed to sign stating that he will vote *only* for Republican candidates or else be removed from the position. Why even have people for this job? Seems like a few lines of code on an automated system could do the same thing.

 

[JK/SEA]

anybody getting through to Boehner's office?

Seems like a few lines of code on an automated system could do the same thing.

I'm not defending this sort of thing, but to play Devil's advocate:

1) PCOs do a lot more than just vote for candidates in general elections. If they didn't, then there truly wouldn't be any point in having PCOs (even if these pledges didn't exist) - they would just be regular, garden-variety voters, just like any non-PCO.

2) If you're going to be a PCO for a political party, it really doesn't seem too far out of line for the party to expect that you'll vote for their candidates (or that you will at least not vote for an opposing party). Getting their candidates elected is the whole point of political parties, after all.

That said, there's not really any way of enforcing these pledges. How are they going to know how (or even if) you voted for a particular office - unless you tell them yourself?

 

[KingNothing]

Like I've said numerous times, until you grab leadership very little will change. If and when the good guys ever grab leadership, all hell will break loose.

I have to admit that as cynical as I've become, what guys like John McCain, John Boehner and Lindsay Graham have been saying and doing lately as left me in total shock. They have so clearly positioned themselves as out-of-touch, Liberty-opponents, that they may be bigger obstacles to restoring the Republic than our more obvious opponents on the left.

I expected subterfuge by The Party to maintain power. Not this outright, blowback-be-damned, assault. What a sad, pathetic, time for the establishment.

You realize that Rand is busy trying to save the 6th Amendment, right? In the face of The Party and all who wish to forget everything that made America great, he's pushing to uphold the Constitution.

That's funny - most of the people who don't like Rand are mad about his rhetoric, and slam that in spite of his voting record. I didn't like the Iran vote either, but like it or not, he's our best hope.

I hope to God that's against forum rules.

Another conservative purge
http://voxday.blogspot.com/2012/12/another-conservative-purge.html

How many times can Republicans purge those to their right from their ranks and still be meaningfully considered to represent the American political right?
[...]
The fact that the WSJ, NR, and Fox are pro-business doesn't mean they are traditional right. Not anymore. Mussolini and Hitler were pro-business too. The irony is that the right was told that they had to dutifully line up behind Mitt Romney because he was, as a moderate, more electable than the anti-bank, anti-war, Ron Paul. Then, when Romney went down in flames just like McCain, Bush, Dole, Ford and every other elite-selected moderate before, what passes for Republican "leadership" in the House is trying to keep moving left.

If you are a conservative who is still a Republican, I have a very simple question to ask you: why? It is becoming increasingly obvious that both conservatives and America would have been better off if the John Birch Society purged William F. Buckley rather than the other way around.

On a local level, I fully expected to be purged from the county GOP on the 15th. It's not about getting Rs elected, or attracting more people to the party. It's about ideology evidently, where neo-Trots are more than welcome, but RPRs need not apply. All the blue-haired old guard really care about is protecting their little fiefdom.

Out of all the people in Washington, you want to do it to Rand Paul? Isn't there worse senators/congressman out there? Talk about personal vendetta, did Rand sleep with you and not call you in the morning???

I didn't like the vote on the sanction, either, but I also do not see it as an act of war. I agree that some sanctions are, but not all of them.

Overall, Rand has been doing a fantastic job. Have you been watching at all?

And by the way, there is no "e" in phony.

I sincerely hope you are banned for this. You earned it.

LOL, I feel sorry for you.

 

[Eric21ND]

Why? Ron Paul has told us numerous times that 3rd parties will not work right now.

It's amazing how many times people have to be told the obvious.

They are a dying breed though, its obvious their influence is waning for the first time in decades, maybe ever. Looking back they will be seen similar to the people that tried to hang onto hair bands of the 80's when music of the early 90's drank their milkshake.

I'm sure you do. What's left with you people? You would support anyone who says anything you want to hear. The reality is your boy IS a traitor certainly in the context of doing the right thing in supporting the only candidate that stood for liberty and that was his old man. Perhaps you were a secret romney supporter and enjoyed it when ol rand when on a show run by another traitor who hates Dr Paul and you support that. If that's what's happened to Ron Paul forums you've banned yourselves as people who stand up for liberty no matter what.

And there certainly can be an e in phoney. It's a variant. Look it up. Just like you and people like you are variants of the typical republican/democrat who have destroyed this great land . Make sure you expunge all records on the way out. PHONY.
