Republicans Ignore Ghosts of Elections Past

It never ceases to amaze me how Beltway Republicans continuously delude themselves. Here we are looking at a possible blue wave and these yahoos can’t comprehend the reasons why. The ghosts of 2006 are wailing and moaning and shaking their chains hoping to attract the attention of these unprincipled waifs. Even Scrooge had a clue after the third visitation. Does the GOP really need a second?


If Republicans lose the House, the blame rightfully falls on leadership. Conservatives need to disabuse themselves of the notion that the rank and file are responsible for the failings of Speaker Ryan and his coterie of establishment hirelings.That $1.3 trillion omnibus package was thrust upon Congress without notice or even a debate.


So, the first ghost of elections past had to do with unprincipled spending. What about the second? Well, that spook has to do with illegal immigration. Again, Republicans refuse to fund a border wall, or show any leadership when it comes to cracking down on cities and politicians who aid and abet illegal aliens. Instead, they insist on “comprehensive immigration reform” which translates into amnesty. How many politicians have died on that hill? Apparently, not enough.



And finally the third and fatal ghost of elections past are Democrats acting like conservatives. How many times are we going to allow this Trojan horse into the House chamber? We’ve already witnessed this in a number of special elections already. Can anyone say Alabama and Pennsylvania? How can Republicans allow these shapeshifters to gain a toehold in red districts? Could it possibly be that leadership is afraid that they might expose these candidates as nothing more than tools of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer? Wait a minute, wouldn’t that expose Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell?  It all starts to make sense now.

Republicans and Democrats Collude to Pass $1.3 Trillion Monstrosity

There’s plenty of collusion going on in Washington D.C. and there isn’t a Russian in sight. Both parties - Republican and Democrat - have conspired to impoverish this country by passing a monstrous $1.3 trillion spending bill that funds the government through September.


Are we not seeing a pattern here? It seems to me Congress always passes an omnibus bill around this time of year that takes us up to the elections. Republicans, in order to justify this crap, campaign on a lack of membership which they need to stop the spendthrifts in the Democratic Party. Then they pass a continuing resolution that takes us up to the holidays. Then, while the citizenry is making merry, they pass another continuing resolution right before Christmas that gets us through the winter, and here we are again with another omnibus bill. What a bunch of scoundrels.


As I was working to put food on my table, a roof over my head and payoff the federal mafia, I listened to various radio personalities contemplate the Republican Party’s atrocious behavior. The local talent hypothesized that the leadership would rather be a minority than govern. Rush Limbaugh, who always has a unique perspective, claimed that establishment Republicans passed this monstrosity as a means to alienate President Trump from his loyal supporters. I happen to think both perspectives are correct.


Whatever the subterfuge, conservatives need to hold candidates accountable by demanding to know who they support for Speaker of the House and majority leader in the Senate. I don’t want to hear any more excuses from these people. We know leadership sets the agenda, however, it’s the rank and file who vote them in.

Conservative Organizations Demand Ouster of Senator Mitch McConnell

Conservatives are demanding the ouster of Senator Mitch McConnell as majority leader along with all of the acolytes that compose his fiefdom.  This man has proven himself at best an incompetent, and at worse a conniving, power-hungry scumbag.  Whatever it is, we’ve had enough.  Here is an excerpt a group of like minded organization sent to the Senator.

“You and the rest of your leadership team were given the majority because you pledged to stop the steady flow of illegal immigration,” the letter states. “You have done nothing. You pledged to reduce the size of this oppressive federal government. You have done nothing. You pledged to reduce, and ultimately eliminate the out-of-control deficit spending that is bankrupting America. You have done nothing. You promised to repeal Obamacare, ‘root and branch.’ You have done nothing. You promised tax reform. You have done nothing.”

Done nothing is right.  I have my suspicions that Senator McConnell wants Obamacare around as a dependable pinata that he and the GOP can bash each election cycle.  Afterall, Republicans were swept into office on the promise of repeal and replace.  It would be a shame to lose this meal ticket.

Obama's Morsi-esque Ambitions

Barack Obama tried to pull a Morsi.  He sent his toady Tim Geithner to meet with GOP leaders behind closed doors and pretty much demanded dictatorial powers.  Speaker Boehner rejected the proposal.  The Senate minority leader laughed in his face.  A spokesman for the progressives’ lord and savior stated that we shouldn’t be surprised.  And quite frankly, I’m not.  I always thought this guy had a totalitarian heart.  Here is the President-for-Life's laundry list:

1. An immediate $1 trillion tax hike through higher top marginal income tax rates as well as higher taxes on both capital gains and dividends.
2. An agreement to raise $600 billion more in taxes later this year by limiting tax deductions for top earners.
3. $50 billion in new infrastructure stimulus spending.
4. Another “emergency” extension of unemployment benefits.
5. An extension of either the payroll tax cut or the reinstatement of Obama’s stimulus Making Work Pay tax credit.
6. A mortgage refinancing program.
7. Billions in new spending to prevent cuts to Medicare reimbursement payments for doctors.
8. An infinite debt limit hike.

When do you think Obama will proclaim our Constitution antiquated and unworkable?  Exactly, when do you predict he will demand emergency powers, until a new governing framework is more conducive for our times?  I believe it’s a possibility.

Senator Mitch McConnell Stands Up for Political Speech

Democrats are scheming to pass a constitutional amendment to regulate political speech. They want to shut people up for speaking out against them. Thank God we have at least one senator who will stand up to these totalitartians.
