(WND) – Congressional Republicans are headed
toward summer recess in turmoil, and former Virginia Attorney General Ken
Cuccinelli says it’s because Republican leaders are acting like
big-spending liberals and conservatives have had enough of it.
The House of Representatives is the scene of
the latest unrest, as Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., filed a motion to
remove House Speaker John Boehner from his leadership position. Boehner said he
will not allow a vote before recess.
Things are just as intense in the Senate. Last
Friday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., a liar on the Senate floor for allegedly insisting to GOP colleagues
that there was no deal with Democrats to add an amendment to the highway
funding bill that would re-authorize the Export-Import Bank. That amendment was
easily approved, while McConnell refused to consider amendments to defund
Planned Parenthood or withhold homeland security funds from sanctuary cities.
McConnell vows to hold a separate vote to defund
Planned Parenthood, and the process is being fast-tracked. Nonetheless,
conservatives are fed up with what they see as a GOP leadership abandoning the
conservative principles they espoused last year to win the majority.
