We hear the phrase “actions have consequences,” often used to justify cancel culture or other moves by the Left to red line those seeking restoration of constitutional government. Well, that’s fine and dandy, as long as it applies to all.
The problem is, the Republican establishment has been trying to duck the consequences of action – or more accurately, inaction – for a long time. Let’s take, for instance, the scandal surrounding the targeting of the Tea Party by the Internal Revenue Service. Those in 2013 who had held themselves up as leaders of the Republican Party by virtue of gaining the nomination for the Presidency in their lifetimes were George H. W. Bush, Robert Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.

“There should be a special place in Hell for people who take full responsibility.” - George Carlin
Any Republican that is not planning primary out over 90% of the Republicans incumbents is either an idiot or in on the coup.
Here is the money quote:
“The problem is, the Republican establishment has been trying to duck the consequences of action – or more accurately, inaction – for a long time. Let's take, for instance, the scandal surrounding the targeting of the Tea Party by the Internal Revenue Service. Those in 2013 who had held themselves up as leaders of the Republican Party by virtue of gaining the nomination for the Presidency in their lifetimes were George H. W. Bush, Robert Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.
Now how much do you recall them speaking out about that targeting? McCain was mum. Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. didn't bother to blast out anything. Dole was apparently struck dumb. Romney's reticence was quite remarkable, given one estimate that the IRS's actions arguably could have cost him the election. We've now found out via a book tour that John Boehner, the speaker of the House when the scandal came to light, held the Tea Party in great disdain. The Senate leadership didn't do much, either.”
McCain was in on it.
We were “whacko-birds” and “hobbits” that needed to be put in our place according to Senator McAmnesty.
It seems too many Republicans are happy to be in Congress, but don’t want to actually work for legislation and policies they say they want.
In fact we could go further, and say too many Republicans are happy to be in the minority in Congress, so then they are never held accountable for anything. After all, they can say, Democrats are in control, so there’s nothing they can do.
Remember actions with Obamacare? The GOP controlled Congress voted to repeal Obamacare many times while Obama was still president, knowing full well he would veto it.
But when Trump was president, and the GOP still controlled Congress, they failed to vote to repeal Obamacare. The repeal bill, which would have been signed by Trump, never made it to his desk.
And the money shot on that was McCain giving the thumbs down motion with his being the deciding vote to not repeal Obamacare.
I’ve said this before, that these Vichy Republican swine lay down before Democrat socialist agenda like rose petals thrown at a wedding. None of them are fit to live.
They hated the Goldwater people, the Reagan Coalition, the Evangelicals, the Right to Lifers, The Reform Party people, the Tea Party, and the Trump working class voters.
