When Is Billy Long Going to Show Us He is Fed Up with the GOP Establishment?

The GOP establishment has proven one thing when it comes to Congressman Billy Long. He ain't that "fed up" with how things are done in Washington.



Day after day on Twitter, Congressman Long praises any number of GOP establishment leaders, including John Boehner, who has shown little leadership when it comes to producing real budget cuts that will start reversing the federal debt and getting the United States back on track to anything that even closely resembles fiscal responsibility. Boehner continues to compromise with Democrats ignoring his Tea Party mandate, and Long doesn't challenge any of this with his fed up rhetoric that promised Southwest Missourians Billy Long was going to Washington to lead with his "small business" common sense.

Oh the fool the Republicans are making Long look like. Take for instance the promised $100 billion in spending cuts Boehner's Pledge to America promised. Long came home to the district at a Lincoln Day event telling his constituents "we got 'er done." The truth is, Republicans got nowhere near the $100 billion in spending cuts, and either Billy Long intentionally lied or is too stupid to realize $61 billion doesn't equal $100 billion. Oh but it gets worse.

Today, we are learning nearly half of those $61 billion in cuts are being eliminated as Boehner compromises with Democrats to avoid a government shut down. Where is fed up Billy? He isn't speaking up against the Republican establishment who has failed to "get 'er done." Rather, on Twitter over the past 24 hours, its praise after praise for Republican after Republican who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

I thought you were fed up Billy? I wonder how Billy will like life in the minority, which will soon be the reality if someone is Washington doesn't start holding Boehner and the Republicans' feet to the fire. I am not impressed with the lack of budget cuts and the compromising with Democrats. It appears it really doesn't bother Long that much. He seems happy knowing a lobbyist is around the corner ready to buy him his next meal.
