The Republican Party has not been known for taking courageous stands against Barack Obama and the Party of Treason.
Now as Washington slowly moves toward Republican control, there are signs that for once the GOP may stand up to the Democrats.
The decisive issue is Amnesty. Barack Obama believes he can help destroy America with Amnesty. Unfortunately too many Republicans are listening to the Chamber of Commerce instead of the American people.
But the good news is, for once they Republicans may fight.
From the Hill:
A high-ranking Senate GOP leader on Sunday left the door open to a government shutdown if President Obama moves forward with unilateral action on immigration reform.Why the hell are the Republicans so afraid of Obama and so afraid of shutting the government down? Last year, the wimpy establishment insiders told us a government shutdown would destroy the GOP.
Asked by “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace if Republicans would “take the bait” and shut down the government, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said “it doesn’t solve the problem, Chris, but look, we’re having those discussions.”
Thune noted that House and Senate leaders “are having discussions” on how to react if Obama takes action on the lightning-rod issue as soon as this week.
But the Senate Republican Conference chairman charged that Obama would be “choosing friction and partisanship … instead of cooperation (which) would make it difficult” for a GOP-controlled Congress to do immigration reform “or anything” over the next two years.
The Republican’s biggest enemy this cycle was not the government shutdown. It was their own pollsters.
A shut down is not the first choice, but it is an option if Obama moves ahead with unilateral Amnesty.
The fate of the nation is in the hands of the Republicans. Let’s hope they have the courage to do what needs to be done.
