by RYAN SAAVEDRASen. Rand Paul Fights for Life on Senate Floor
{ americanlibertyreport.com } ~ Hard-charging conservative Sen. Rand Paul recently took fellow Republicans to task in a battle to defund the taxpayer-funded abortion clinics known as Planned Parenthood... In an epic struggle that played out the Senate floor, the Kentucky conservative fought an uphill battle to bring his pro-life amendment to a vote. Senate leadership had blocked the measure over fears it would emerge as a “poison pill” that would hold up spending appropriations for Defense, Education, Labor and other government allocations. Known for holding firm to his convictions, Sen. Paul took to the Senate floor and BLASTED members of his own party. “The dirty little secret is the Republican leadership is blocking my amendment,” Paul reportedly said. “What is more important to these Republicans? Saving lives or spending money?” Sen. Paul has earned a reputation for pulling no punches. He consistently voices the need to stay close to the core conservative values outlined by the GOP. When addressing pro-life concerns, the senator has been a refreshing reality check against abortion forces. Pro-life voters will have an opportunity to make their voices heard at the ballot box come November...

As Kavanaugh Hearings Loom, One Senate
dummycrats-Dem Regrets Abolishing Filibuster
by Kevin Daley
{ dailycaller.com } ~ dummycrats-Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said Sunday that her party should not have invoked the so-called nuclear option... and abolished the legislative filibuster for judicial nominees. The remarks come just before Judge Brett Kavanaugh will appear for confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Republican lawmakers expect Kavanaugh will be confirmed if he acquits himself well at the hearings. “I would’ve liked to see 60 votes, no matter what the judge is,” Klobuchar told NBC. “I don’t think we should’ve made that change, when we look back at it. But it happened because we were so frustrated, because President scumbag/liar-nObama wasn’t able to get his nominees.” But Klobuchar added that neither party is likely to reimpose the filibuster over judicial nominations, since doing so would cede a huge tactical advantage...Bipartisanship or Caving In?
by Cal Thomas
{ townhall.com } ~ In the days following the death of Sen. rino-John McCain (R-Ariz.), there have been mournful cries lamenting the lack of bipartisanship for which his eulogizers and friends claim he stood.
Dictionary.com defines bipartisan this way: "representing, characterized by, or including members from two parties or factions."
If only.
To dummycrats-Democrats and the left, bipartisanship is when Republicans give in to their demands and vote in favor of their legislation. rino-McCain most famously did that when he first supported scumbag/liar-nObamacare and then cast the deciding vote against its repeal. Many conservatives viewed his vote as payback for President Trump's criticism of him.
Can anyone recall when dummycrats-Democrats exhibited bipartisanship? Has a contemporary dummycrats-Democrat member of Congress voted to preserve human life in the womb at any stage? How many dummycrats-Democrats supported the Trump agenda of lower taxes? How many supported his overturning regulations that hampered business growth? Though both policies appear to be working, dummycrats-Democrats refuse to say so.
Republicans demonstrated more bipartisanship, which some have called "caving in" than dummycrats-Democrats and they have gotten nothing for it, certainly no favorable editorials from major newspapers and their columnists.
Examples abound. Here's just one. In 2015, under the Breitbart.com headline "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Caves, But Majority Leader dinky-Harry Reid, Wants Full Surrender From Speaker John backstabber-Boehner As Well," there was this: "Republican leadership in the Senate is fully caving to the demands of dummycrats-Democratic lawmakers calling for a so-called "clean" Department of Homeland Security funding bill that leaves President scumbag/liar-nObama's executive amnesty intact..."
The several government "shutdowns" caused many Republicans to cave as dummycrats-Democrats and their media allies falsely claimed the elderly would be denied their Social Security checks and national parks would close.
Between the Reagan and Trump administrations, Republicans feared cutting taxes because of dummycrats-Democrat charges they were "insensitive" and hated government. When President George H.W. Bush caved on his promise not to raise taxes in exchange for dummycrats- Democrats cutting spending, he got nothing for abandoning his supposed "read my lips" pledge.
Throughout the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, Republicans behaved like deer caught in headlights, reluctant to oppose much of what the president wanted for fear of being branded "racists."
Bipartisanship should at the very least mean putting country ahead of self and the public before re-election efforts. That's the ideal, but as I have said before, the only place you will find a politician with convictions these days is in prison.
As long as re-election and donor pandering are the primary concerns of most politicians, there can be no meaningful bipartisanship.
Republicans should focus more on winning the economic, social, foreign policy and political arguments and worry less about whether they are liked. Electoral victory followed by policies that work and promote the general welfare are more important than being praised for a willingness to compromise with a party whose principles so often diverge from theirs.
When rino-McCain ran for president, dummycrats-Democrats didn't praise his bipartisanship. Rep. John Lewis, (D-Ga.), who now praises rino-McCain in death, said during his 2008 campaign that rino-McCain's campaign rallies reminded him of those for the segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace, a dummycrats-Democrat by the way. Lewis later claimed his remarks were "misinterpreted," which is hard to believe, whether you read them in or out of context.
I'm all for getting along with the "other side," but that side has to be willing to meet in the middle and give something in return. dummycrats-Democrats don't do that. Instead, they use the word bipartisan as a weapon, not a tool and too many Republicans have gotten their pockets picked as a result.
