27 members of the GOP are herein identified as
“moderate compromisers” within the party.
By contrast, this “new” party
alignment saw 18 members of the Senate GOP vote against the McCain
Liberals.
Most,
if not all of McCain’s cabal, decided from the get go, that this was not a fight worth having. Most, over the years, have
joined with the socialists in the Senate to increase the powers of the
executive branch and to forgo debate or legislation that requires an actual
budget each and every year. They are
lead by the worst thing that has ever happened to the GOP, John McCain with his losing strategy of compromise
and acquiescence.
While McCain blames Ted Cruz for the current
failures in the party, the fact remains
that his feckless 2008 gave the Democrats our first Socialist/One World
president and an impeachable Democrat majority in both houses of congress. McCain did that. And in the doing, he provided for the narrow victory that brought
ObamaCare into existence without a single Republican vote.
Understand that the conservative influence
within the GOP continues to grow and is now,
the majority opinion with that party,
if one includes House party members.
In terms of raw numbers, the GOP –
based on the vote Wednesday – has 162 members in both houses of congress, ready to take the fight to the socialists and
116 who seek nothing short but compromise for the sake of winning
elections.
