Trey Gowdy (R-SC) Says His Preferred Method of Stopping Obama is to Let John McCain Do It
RedState ^ | Erick Erickson

Posted on 12/06/2014 3:53:45 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

Now this is just pathetic.

Some of you turned Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC)87% into the hero of the day because of his Benghazi investigation. He could do no wrong. What happens when you build a cult of personalty around any politician is then they can go BOHICA on you.

Bend over America. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC)87% is now on record admitting he’s going to help shove President Obama’s amnesty plan right where you don’t want it.

(SNIP)

So, Hemmer asked Gowdy who he’d stop the President. Gowdy’s answer? He wants to let Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)Heritage ActionScorecardSen. John McCain52%Senate Republican Average64%See Full Scorecard52% handle it by tying up unrelated Presidential nominations in the Senate.

I do what I can to advance conservatism, and to politically destroy liberals.

Gowdy is a liberal now...to you. Okay.

You do know that this lying RINO prick, Erick Erickson, backed Romney, right?

Yes. And I agree with EE on very little, if anything, since he began to reveal his loyalties to me...and Red State's as well.

Hmmmm ..?? Most of the posters have only arrived here after 2008 .. Geeeeeee .. I wonder if we have a gang-up in progress here ..??

Anybody else see this ..??

Oh yeah .. I’m still sticking with Gowdy. While I am suspicious of Boehner’s motives, the Bengazi investigation is not over. Gowdy could be pulled temporarily to start the investigation over the hijack of the immigration laws.

To you, Gowdy is a de facto liberal because he voted for the CR.

I've misgauged you, it seems.

I've had enough FR for now. Last word tonight is yours.

I am not for the CR. I don't support anyone that is for the CR.

Yep. It's harsh, but being soft is why the republicans wound up so liberal. Time to get tough and make supporting liberalism a political kiss of death for republicans.

The time for nice and for benefit of the doubt is over.

It may seem an exaggeration to you

If you are intent on being honest with yourself, you will restate your statement that Freepers "Hate" Gowdy or are expressing "Hate".

That is a perfect example of an exaggeration.

It is the language and tactics of the left and you are better than that.

every single Republican senator and congress man voted no to pass Obamacare

And the Republican House has voted to fully fund it for the last few years, repeatedly, Continuing Resolution after Continuing Resolution.

You are so correct.

Do not start a war unless you want to win it and win it quickly.

Have a clear exit policy before starting a war.

And finally, never start a war on foreign lands with borrowed money from countries like China.

Our children and grand children are going to despise us for leaving them a national debt much bigger than our GDP. They have no economic future with the ever increasing interest on national debt.

“That’s why he was just re-elected overwhelmingly and why he has a vocal hate-group railing against him on FR. “

We’re witnessing an invasion of the bestial FR Philistine “I Walk on Water” cult.

I wonder how he’d vote if conservative comprehensive immigration reform ever gets a hearing? How would he vote on a bill that ends mass immigration and reduces legal immigration? Would he support ending chain migration and abolishing the absurd Divery Lottery visas? Would he support reducing refugee and asylum visas?

I know that Gowdy passed a bill out of the judiciary committee that would give states the power to enforce federal immigration law.

Do you have objections to that?

The RINO slimeball Erick Erickson attacking conservative Trey Gowdy.

Would love to meet that dirtball Erickson in a dark alley with no witnesses around and correct his 50 IQ stupidity.

I do.

What part of this story about Gowdy is inaccurate?

No, you do not understand the process in the House.

Each bill usually requires some “rules” to get finagled through. They come from the rules committee.

Resettozero is a total troll.

He bounces around looking for trouble he can jump into.

I didn’t fully realize it until this evening, after seeing many of his posts on different threads.

When people constantly use lefty terms, they usually are lefties.

Loved listening to Petraeus when being questioned, too. Then I found out about his rules of engagement. Ask first, shoot later, if you’re not dead.

No I dont.

I don’t have an opinion on Gowdy yet. I find the varying views of him here interesting, so I may read up on him some more.

I pose the same questions about every Republican or conservative who gains prominence. I do so because I think immigration is the most important issue, mostly because of its demography-shaping power. I think demographics is destiny. So in the end, I think any conservative who doesn’t oppose mass immigration (even the legal kind) is whistling past the graveyard.

So it’s good to know that Gowdy wants to empower states against illegal immigration. But I’d be more interested in knowing If he would support reducing (pro-democrat) mass legal immigration.
