2/13/14, "The Establishment, Allegations of Purity, and Reality," Daniel Horowitz, RedState
"The leaders in the House and Senate, along with their boot lickers,
are fundamentally against us. Many of us have known and observed this
privately for years, but the debt ceiling vote – both in the House and
Senate – brought their devious subterfuge out in the open.
In the House, leadership got together and agreed to pass it with
Democrat votes, thereby letting almost their entire conference off the
hook to vote against their true beliefs so they can play their
Republican constituents like fools.
In the Senate, McConnell attempted to do the same, but was thwarted
by Senators Cruz and Lee.
Then he tried to get others to vote for
something he badly wanted to pass, but lacked the conviction to own. Roll Call explains in plain English
how Democrats and Republicans worked together to fool the American
people by instructing the clerk not to call their names publicly and
then by switching their votes.
Remember, this is just a rare glimpse into how these guys operate on
most other issues. This will not change by simply voting Republicans
into the majority, especially on the critical issues of immigration and
debt.
Even with the best of leaders in Washington, there will always be
differences of opinion on strategy, tone, and minor issues. But what is
happening now is far beyond a strategic disagreement. Democrats might
have internal squabbles once and a while, but they are united in goose
step for the inexorable promotion of their liberal values. There is no
effective dissent from even one member.
And to the extent a couple of
red-state Democrats vote against the liberal agenda, it is just a
two-faced game for their conservative constituents. Whereas Republicans
are just the opposite. They privately agree with the Democrats and
only vote the right way to dissuade a potential primary challenger.
As we head into the primaries over the spring and summer, we must ask
ourselves the following questions: do we want to build a GOP majority
on quicksand or on a solid foundation? Do we want to go into the voting
booth on November and vote for Republicans with our heads held high or
with our fingers on our nose?.
The right candidates are out there. The opportunity is calling. The choice is ours."

Comment at RedState re: clerk not announcing names during Wed. debt vote:
--------------------------------
"tngal
I noticed earlier the roll call people got on twitter and called out
the
issue of the clerk not giving out the names and chastising them for a
lack of transparency. So today they made a special point of singling out
those who switched votes. Good job on their part for bringing
attention to it. Unless your eyeballing cspan every minute of the day
you miss this stuff. As a general rule, the media is not going to
highlight it."

Comment: It's fine if GOP members agree with democrats as long as they immediately file paperwork changing their party affiliation to democrat.
