In the Mid-Term Elections of 2010, Conservative American Voters put our trust in the Republican Party, who like the snake who appeared to Eve, promised TEA Party members nationwide, that if Conservatives sent them to Washington, they would represent us, and vote to limit Obama and the Democrats’ dreams of Unlimited Governmental Control of our everyday lives and uphold the Constitutional, Conservative vision of limited Government championed by the Grassroots Movement.

They lied.

The first thing that Republicans did, was to elect sniveling, spineless Vichy Republican John Boehner, the Speaker of the House.

From that moment on, the Grand Old Party en masse, except for a few notable exceptions, have continued their slide toward becoming a perfect replica of the political party whom they are supposed to be opposing.

The insistence by the Northeast Republicans Club, or Vichy Republicans, toward Moderate Mediocrity, has cost them the last two Presidential Elections, and could cause them the upcoming 2014 Mid -Term Elections, as well.

On Tuesday, this hardly august group continued their alienation of their Conservative Base.

Fox News relates the whole, sorry story…

The House voted Tuesday to raise the government’s borrowing limit, as GOP leaders backed down from a potential confrontation with Democrats by declining to seek any concessions in exchange for the increase.

The debt-ceiling bill passed on a 221-201 vote, and now goes to the Senate for final approval.

The vote comes after Republican leaders backed off their strategy of trying to use the debt limit to force spending cuts or other concessions. In 2011, President Obama yielded to similar demands but has since said he would not negotiate with Republicans over the matter.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, swiftly teed up the vote Tuesday after failing to get enough conservative support for a plan that would have tied the debt ceiling measure to one reversing cuts to military pensions. Another failed proposal had tied the debt cap hike to the Keystone pipeline.

The House, as part of a separate bill, nevertheless voted Tuesday to restore full cost of living increases to pension benefits for younger military retirees. The final vote was 326-90.

But Boehner’s decision to move ahead on the debt-ceiling legislation without any concessions signals a potentially new approach on these so-called must-pass bills. His party was bruised last year after Republicans tried to extract changes to ObamaCare as part of a budget bill, resulting in a partial government shutdown that lasted until Boehner finally called a relatively clean budget bill to the floor — which passed on mostly Democratic votes.

The vote Tuesday followed the same pattern. Boehner relied on mostly Democrats to bring the bill over the finish line 193 Democrats voted for the bill, while just 28 Republicans did the same. Boehner and other GOP leaders were among those who voted yes.

Boehner announced before the vote that that was the strategy. “We’ll let the Democrats put the votes up. We’ll put a minimum number of (GOP) votes up to get it passed,” Boehner said. “We’ll let his party give him the debt ceiling increase that he wants.”

But the vote caused consternation among conservative groups that have pushed Congress — and particularly Tea Party-aligned lawmakers they helped elect — to rein in deficit spending, in part by extracting spending cuts wherever possible.

“A clean debt ceiling is a complete capitulation on the Speaker’s part and demonstrates that he has lost the ability to lead the House of Representatives, let alone his own party,” Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, said in a statement.

The measure approved by the House does not raise the debt limit by a set amount but does suspend it through March 15, 2015.

One of those notable exceptions whom I alluded to earlier, is Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a Reagan Conservative and an American Patriot. After the traitorous vote on Tuesday, Cruz issued the following statement:

Today’s vote is yet another example that establishment politicians from both parties are simply not listening to the American people. Outside the beltway, Americans of all political stripes understand that we cannot keep spending money we don’t have.

Some members of Congress care so much about being praised by the Washington media that they’re willing to mortgage our children’s future. They pretend we don’t have a problem and can just kick the can down the road.

Let’s be clear about the motive behind this vote — there are too many members of Congress who think they can fool people and they will forget about it the next week. But sometimes, come November, the people remember.

Being an American by Birth, and Southern by the Grace of God, my favorite play of all time is “Lil’ Abner”. One of my favorite scenes in the movie they made of it, which starred Petter Palmer as Abner, Stubby Kaye as Marryin’ Sam, and the great Billie Hayes as Mammy Yoakum, was when Senator Fogbound (what a great name) holds a meeting with the townsfolk of Dogpatch, to tell them that they had to evacuate, due to an upcoming “A-tomic” Bomb Test.

Sen. Fogbound: I know y’all have been wondering what I have been doing up there in Washington on your behalf.

Mammy Yoakum: We didn’t care…as long as you wuz up there…and we wuz down here!

That was 1959…before the Cuban Missile Crisis, before Vietnam…before Ithe Munich Olympics…before the Iranian Hostage Crisis…AND, before President Barack Hussein Obama.

It was a more innocent time, when, even as horribly self-serving as the worst of our Senators and Congressmen were, we knew that they still were answerable to their respective constituencies. Unfortunately, in 2014, we cannot afford that naivete anymore. Our “so-called” Congressional  Representatives, the before-mentioned Vichy Republicans, do not care what we think, because they, like their fellow Progressives on the other side of the aisle, believe that they know what is best for us…and what will save their phony baloney jobs.

However, they are wrong…and Senator Cruz is right: 

COME NOVEMBER…AMERICANS WILL REMEMBER.

Until He Comes,
