Congress, Stop Making Empty Threats and Stop Obama

Congress, Stop Making Empty Threats and Stop Obama

Congress keeps talking about stopping President Obama, yet he continues to do what he does, virtually unchecked.
We have grown tired of hearing the empty threats.  We are ready to see decisive action.
There are some good people in Congress, like Trey Gowdy, who are men and women that are determined to do what is right.  But they are not the ones in power, and they are outnumbered by the status quo establishment politicians.
Obama is being protected on a whole range of scandalous issues by the establishment of both parties, especially on Benghazi, the IRS targeting scandal and the NSA spying scandal.  They do this because it is the safe bet from their perspective.  Career politicians that make deals and constantly compromise with the opposition don’t want to rock the boat.  There is too much at stake for them to lose if they do.
We all know that nothing of consequence is going to be done in the Senate, at least not while Harry Reid is in charge.  Even so, there are a handful of Senators making waves and upsetting the establishment.  Senators like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are serious about confronting and putting a stop to Obama’s unconstitutional power grabs and Executive actions.
Unfortunately, Rand, Ted and Mike aren’t the guys calling the shots in the Senate.  As much noise as they may make, they can’t yet get past the old establishment guys in leadership like Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who would rather make backroom deals or pal around with Democrats than actually stand up for the American people, the Constitution and the founding principles of our country and their party.
This only shows the vital importance of Republicans taking control of the Senate in the 2014 mid-terms.  Yes, the good guys like Rand, Ted and Mike may still have to deal with the likes of McConnell, McCain and Graham, but with Harry Reid out of the way, and Republicans in the majority, it will likely be far easier for the good guys to bring more Senators over to their side, allowing them to put ever increasing pressure on McConnell to actually listen to the base and make serious moves to stop Obama.
It is a somewhat similar story in the House, even with Republicans already holding the majority.  There are actually quite a few good guys and gals in the House, namely Trey Gowdy, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, Louis Gohmert, Steve Stockman, Bill Flores, Steve King, Jason Chaffetz, Duncan Hunter, Michelle Bachmann, and Jim Bridenstine, to name just a few, and they have been able to exert pressure on leadership to do things, even though they know such things have no chance in the Harry Reid led Senate.
The biggest problem in the House is the Speaker, John Boehner.  He says the right things sometimes, and moves along bills, but only when he knows that it will get stopped in Harry Reid’s Senate.  He stalls on the big issues, caves on all of the big fights, compromising with Obama and the Democrats instead of standing strong and fighting alongside his Republican colleagues and the American people.  He is also quick to turn on his fellow GOP “friends”, blaming them when the pressure gets too high.
The solution to the problem is clear.  First, Republicans must take back control of the Senate.  Liberty minded Senators must grow their caucus and exert constant pressure on Mitch McConnell to do the right things.  Second, Republicans need to hold on to the House, grow their base of Constitutional and freedom loving Representatives, replace John Boehner as Speaker, and then send Articles of Impeachment to the Senate, where McConnell will be forced to act upon them and proceed with the trial.
We here at Capitalism Institute nominate Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House.  Do you second that nomination?
