(via Daily Caller)  It’s Nov. 16, 2013, and the partial government shutdown ended one month ago today. In those four weeks, and the two prior, everything conservatives said would happen has happened.

What’s more, the Democrats’ united stand against them has turned into a retreat — and is primed to become a rout — as they amend Obamacare’s disastrous rollout, President Barack Obama apologizes for his failures, and electorally vulnerable Democrats break ranks and flee. Hell, even the polls that D.C.’s Republican pundits shrieked, wept and clawed over show the Grand Old Party has bounced back while the Democrats have fallen behind. Because, in the end, real people simply weren’t affected by the shutdown, so they won’t vote on it — a distinction Obamacare does not share. (more…)

Back in 2009 Senator Jim DeMint began the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF).  The goal was to fund conservative candidates of like-minded association who could join with DeMint and push back against the establishment class of big government Republicans, the Decepticons.
DeMint’s efforts brought forth folks like Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott and a guy named Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
However, during  the recent defund Obamacare fight, Senator Johnson pulled the “Robert The Bruce move” and was the only member of the Tea Party supported Senate Conservative team to break ranks.    Johnson sided with the Decepticons and Democrats and voted to approve “cloture”.  [If you ever saw the movie Braveheart you know who Robert The Bruce is – That’s Ron Johnson].
Since then he has been on a campaign to get back his credibility, his old image, and hide his Decepticon infection.     We will provide no cover for him – nor will we forget.
Johnson’s latest self-serving exploit was to present the GOP weekly address today:

OY, this level of arrogance is merely reflective.    Rand Paul says Mitch McConnell challenger, Matt Bevin, is a “good, honest, Christian man”.    McConnell’s campaign manager gets tweeked and says Rand Paul misspoke. 
The arrogance of the power hungry McConnell people is astounding.   I’m thinking Rand Paul can speak for himself, but that’s just me…. 
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Tea party darling Rand Paul has endorsed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, [the reason is well outlined HERE] but he’s saying kind words about McConnell’s GOP primary challenger, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin.
Paul referred to Bevin as a “good, honest, Christian man” and said he doesn’t have anything bad to say about McConnell’s challenger. Paul made the comments Friday in Louisville, shortly after Bevin filed to run against McConnell in next May’s GOP primary in Kentucky. (more…)

“I think Democratic politics drove yesterday more than anything else. There was widespread panic on Capitol Hill this week… But you know the bigger, the thing we’re not really talking about – he didn’t fix anything. There was nothing that was fixed because he doesn’t have the power to do it. John Boehner’s right.”

UPDATE – Oops, original post had wrong link to McDonough article —  Fixed now, Sorry.

WASHINGTON DC – […]  McDonough, speaking privately to Democrats in a closed session Thursday  afternoon, said the president’s hands were tied, to an extent, in trying to move  the policy to fit his promise.
“We do not have a deal where everyone who has received a cancellation notice  that they can re-buy. We can’t mandate that,” he said,  according to sources present. But, he argued, the new policy shifts the  burden for cancellations to state insurance commissioners and insurance  companies — an important political distinction. If a tea party Republican  contends that someone lost his or her insurance because of the law, McDonough  said “that is absolutely untrue.”
At one point, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) asked why the White House isn’t  doing more to blame insurers for policy cancellation notices.
McDonough replied that there are good actors and bad actors in the insurance  industry.
“I think it is dangerous to paint with a broad brush,” he said.  (LINK)

In essence Obama’s “fixer”, Denis McDonough, is saying there are people in the Insurance industry who are “with us“, and there are some “against us“.

The problem looks like this: (more…)

WHAT ?  The future of all Washington DC political aspirations for conservatives.
WHEN?  About 6 months from now, in May of 2014, the “real” Republican primary candidate for the 2016 Presidential election will be determined.
WHO?   In Kentucky – Significantly less than 2 million people will decide who the next GOP presidential nominee is.
WHY?   If Senator Mitch McConnell wins his primary race he will retain full control of all Republican objectives for the next 6 years.   He could, in actuality, then become the Majority Leader in the Senate – and he will select Chris Christie to represent Republicans.

There is a solid background article written in Politico Mag which EVERYONE should read.  CLICK HERE – Yes, Politico is a left leaning propaganda machine; however, the article itself gives a very honest presentation of how King Mitch does business.  Make sure you read the entire article.

“McConnell isn’t a liberal, a conservative or a moderate,” said Horowitz, whose group also has endorsed Bevin. “His ideology is power. That’s all he cares about.”

KENTUCKY – U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is a vocal critic of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act and its glitch-stricken website, HealthCare.gov, repeatedly calling for repeal of the law “root and branch.”
“At this point, senators from both parties can agree: HealthCare.gov is a rolling disaster. Every day seems to bring more, newer comic calamity,” McConnell, R-Ky., said Oct. 29 in a Senate floor speech. “The only thing the website seems to be good for right now is creating punch lines for late-night comedians.”
However, since 2011, McConnell has accepted more than $75,000 in political donations from health care giant UnitedHealth Group, which owns the technology company that helped build and launch HealthCare.gov for a reported $155 million and now is responsible for fixing it. (more…)
