The same thing I've been saying all along, be patient and let the Freshmen settle in.. Once they have discussed a strategy, which no doubt includes serious funding cuts, but let them play the game of chess their own way.
You are using the incompetence of rino of the past as a guide for the future, which is not only silly, but unfair to the incoming Congress TEA put in place.
 
Negative on who's standard, illegals, Dims, Marxists, socialists rino? Seriously, explain that, I really want to know who sees upholding the laws of the nation, as negative.
See. There you go again, injecting your prejudice on a whole new Congress, one that has yet to be seated and prove it's worthiness to the country.

Let me see if I can explain. The Marxist is like a caged cat gone feral, he's angry, alone and sees his sentence in this cage as being two more, long and agonizing years.
He and his ideology was rejected by 60% of the nation, while 30% turned their back on him when he needed them most. The way he sees it, he has nothing to lose and will do all the damage he can.

This new Congress knows EXACTLY why they were sent too DC, to stop him, but unfortunately, their hands are tied by procedure and the rule of law, so they will have to move slow and methodically, (you know, follow the rules).
Unless you're suggesting they act like the Marxist, but then, we would no longer be a Republic, would we?

So what does that leave us option wise? well, you could put your helmet back on, run outside screaming, "the sky is falling".
Or, you could stop with this nonsense and wait patiently in "support of the new Congress" and understand, for the process to work, there are laws and procedures to be followed.
We are in new territory, the nation has never experienced a tyrant before, let alone ever dreamed the night mare was possible.

This same unspoken law applies here on the forum as well, we either act like an unruly mob and destroy the nation/forum through anarchy, or act like Conservatives and insist the laws be enforced.

Your choice.

So far the GOP has played their cards close to their vest which is exactly what they should be doing. Don't let the democrats know what they are planning. This is probably causing much anguish among the dems. Let them make the mistakes from panic. It is already happening. Schumer is just the first to throw Obama under the bus. If you think Obama is angry now, just wait until the dems turn on him.

BTW, has a missing person report been filed on Debbie Wasserman Schultz? 

      FOX played and replayed Obama's impassioned plea for understanding the plight of immigrants
without too much comment. I should say Obama's "impersonation of and impassioned plea," to be more accurate. At this point,  there is nothing this president does that is not contrived and artificial. He really is the compulsive liar who has run out of credibility.
      I heard the talk on radio. His voice was up about half octave, even  had slight cracks and quavers to give it that sense of emotion and sincerity. One comment was that if he cares so much about undocumented aliens, guest work permits, and path to citizenship, then why did he vote against George Bush's immigration plan when he was in the Senate?  The Bush bill was almost identical to the Obama plan, Obama's speech announcing it was identical to Bush's talk on the same subject, yet the Democrats voted it down.
      Another comment was more to the point. He said, "Obama doesn't care about undocumented residents. He doesn't care about jobs. What he does care about is votes." All this is happening, mind you, on the eve of the Ferguson grand jury announcement.
      I didn't think Obama had the skills to go off his Teleprompter rhythm and blues patter. Add another skill: pretty good whiner.

This is a perfect example of what I was trying to explain to Suzzi, as in floating balloons. It's a process.
The party is slowly starting to fight back, as in Schumer's little jab about Commiecare, he didn't attack Obola directly, rather his key Legislation and legacy Bill.
In other words, he maligned the Marxist absent annotation.

I expect to see much more of this, each carrying more venom than it's predecessor, until one finally takes a shot at the Marxist, and if it goes unchecked? (more balloons released aloft)
This will signal the end of the Marxist. Again, assuming it goes unchecked, otherwise the process will start over, but I suspect the media will see this as an opening for a free for all in it's effort to save the Dim party.

Of course, this is all speculation on my part, but as someone that studied human behavior as part of my livelihood, it's the logical path to follow.
Just as we've seen with TEA and why I could predict the outcome of the Nov 2014 election two years ago.
