REPUBLICANS: ALL TALK AND NO ACTION

January 1, 2016
Republicans write Obama a blank check
By Chuck Baldwin

House Speaker Paul Ryan, Montana House member Ryan Zinke, and other phony conservative Republicans have written Barack Obama a blank check for EVERYTHING he wanted in the 2016 Omnibus bill. (Thank you, Montana Senators Steve Daines (R) and Jon Tester (D), for voting against this egregiously evil bill.)

Despite all the conservative rhetoric proceeding from the mouths of the Republicans in Congress, the GOP passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill that grants Barack Obama EVERYTHING he requested. Remember, the House of Representatives completely controls the purse strings of the federal government. The White House can spend absolutely NOTHING without the House of Representatives signing the check. And that's exactly what Speaker Ryan, Rep. Ryan Zinke, and the other phony conservatives in Congress did: they wrote Barack Obama a check for EVERYTHING he wanted.
In his nationally syndicated radio talk show on December 17, longtime Republican apologist Rush Limbaugh said, "Everything Obama wanted, everything he asked for, he got. You go down the list of things, it's there.

"And this is causing some people to wonder if they just dreamed all that stuff about Boehner resigning. And then other people are wondering if they even dreamed all that stuff about the Republicans winning the largest number of seats they've had in Congress since the Civil War. We had two midterm elections in 2010 and 2014, which were landslide victories for the Republican Party. The Democrat Party lost over a thousand seats nationwide in just those two elections. People went to the polls in droves wanting exactly what was rubber-stamped last night (or what will be) stopped.

"And instead they showed up in record numbers and they it turned out and they just defeated Democrats down the ballot. In the process, they elected Republicans to stop this. And now the Republicans have the largest number of seats in the House they've had in Congress since the Civil War. And it hasn't made any difference at all. It is as though Nancy Pelosi is still running the House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate. 'Betrayed' is not even the word here. What has happened here is worse than betrayal. Betrayal is pretty bad, but it's worse than that.

"This was out-and-out, in-our-face lying, from the campaigns to individual statements made about the philosophical approach Republicans had to all this spending. There is no Republican Party! You know, we don't even need a Republican Party if they're gonna do this. You know, just elect Democrats, disband the Republican Party, and let the Democrats run it, because that's what's happening anyway."

GOP Sells America Down The River

Here is a partial list of what Obama requested and received from this so-called Republican congress:

1. Funding for Obama's executive amnesty program

2. Funding for "Sanctuary" cities

3. Funding for all of Obama's refugee programs

4. Funding for all of Obama's immigration programs

5. Funding for Obama's illegal alien resettlement programs

6. Funding for the release of criminal illegal aliens imprisoned in the United States

7. Funding for tax credits for illegal aliens

8. Eliminates spending caps

9. Funding for Planned Parenthood abortion services

10. Funding for ALL of Obama's climate change programs

11. Funding for Obamacare

12. Funding for INCREASED government spying on U.S. citizens

13. Funding for ALL of the U.S. wars around the world

14. Funding for the increased militarization of American police agencies and the growing federal Police State

The list goes on and on.


Rush was right: there would have been absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in the Omnibus bill that passed Congress had Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Democrats been in a majority. No difference at all.

The two-party system is a JOKE. No! It's more than a joke: it is a total and absolute SHAM.

You know things are bad when longtime Republican disciple Franklin Graham quits the GOP and when the quintessential Republican apologist Rush Limbaugh says the GOP should "disband."

Elections have become moot. No matter which party assumes control of Congress and the White House, the Constitution is ignored and trampled and the American people are betrayed and sold out
