The bastards have already forgotten that we elected and reelected them to
office.
Citing Politico
<http://www.politico.com/story/2014/11/republicans-governing-congress-112625.html?hp=l1>
as
her source, Melanie Batley reports for NewsMax
<http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/GOP-Congress-tea-party-infighting/2014/11/06/id/605744/>,
Nov. 6, 2014, that *just two days **after their historic midterm victories,
the Republican congressional leadership is "sending out signals" to the
Republican rank-and-file, especially the so-called "hard right," that
infighting and gridlock will not be tolerated.*
In other words, they are telling Conservatives and the Tea Party to shut up.
The way Politico put it was: "Emboldened by sweeping midterm election
victories, Republican leaders are vowing not to repeat the errors of past
years, when messy fiscal fights eroded public confidence in Washington and
became the hallmark of the GOP-controlled House." That's because the
GOP leadership feel justified in demanding loyalty from the conservative
wing of the party, given that the victories from this election cycle were
mainly the result of the party's early backing of establishment candidates,
some of whom are from moderate districts.

1. *Incoming Majority Leader Mitch McConnell* said he will not go along
with conservative calls to use the debt ceiling as leverage for spending
cuts, an insistence by Tea Party members which triggered the government
shutdown last year. McConnell has already vowed
<http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/McConnell-Obama-Time-Magazine-cover/2014/11/05/id/605414/>
that there will not be a government shutdown on his watch. And in his
victory speech Tuesday night, McConnell made it clear he *would also be
extending the olive branch to Barack Obama*, saying the GOP has a "duty"
<http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/mcconnell-senate-win/2014/11/04/id/605260/#ixzz3IJ4BO8nh>to
work with the White House on issues they agree on. "I'm pretty familiar
with our conference including the new members who are coming in," McConnell
said. "The vast majority of them don't feel they were sent to Washington to
fight all the time."

2. *House Speaker John Boehner* is telling colleagues he plans to be a
"responsible leader." By that, he means *the party needs to be unified* to
take advantage of its political dominance.

June 2014, Rep. Stiver's chief of staff Adam Kuhn was forced for resign
after his ex-lover, former porn star Jennifer Allbaugh posted a photo of
Kuhn's penis on Twitter. (Source

3. *Ohio GOP Rep. Steve Stivers, a close ally of Boehner*, told
Politico, "What this election did is give us a working majority where we
have at least 218 votes to pass a Republican agenda, and what I think will
be a responsible Republican agenda. *We're not veering hard right*, we're
playing it straight down the fairway, to use a Boehner-ism."
Boehner and McConnell have already set out their legislative agenda
<http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/GOP-Congress-Middle-Class-jobs/2014/11/06/id/605624/>,
saying in a joint editorial that *their top priority* is to help the
struggling middle class, and a first step *will be passing many of the
bills the House has already approved. *"Enacting such measures early in the
new session will signal that the logjam in Washington has been broken, and
help to establish a foundation of certainty and stability that both parties
can build upon," they wrote.
The GOP elites maintain that unity could be paramount to maintaining the
Senate majority in 2016, when a number of senators from blue and purple
states are up for re-election.

Meanwhile, to make your Saturday even better [sarc], now that Republicans
are in control of the Senate, *John McCain* is set to be chairman of the
Senate Armed Services Committee. The same warmonger McCain who has never
met a war he doesn't want to drag the United States into.
Recall that McCain was a big proponent of a U.S. war in Syria. On September
4, 2013, he was one of three Republicans
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2013/09/04/senate-votes-in-favor-of-obamas-war-against-syria/>
who joined 7 Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in
approving a Senate resolution granting Obama authority to conduct military
strikes on Syria's government.
