Conservative Writer: Always bank on the GOP snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Always bank on the GOP snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Days after the stunning win in VA they vote to give Pelosi and Biden a massive win on the Gateway to the Green New Deal. . . McCarthy must go. He’s not a strong leader at all. Nor is he committed to America First.

More Rep Senators (19) voted for the bill than Congressmen (13). Remember this was a Senate bill.

It’s all theater. I have to remind myself of that often because I do fall for what I like to hear from the Republicans a lot.
Once you know it’s theater, it’s easier to see. Government grows. Leaders simply do what they have to go get re-elected. Then they allow government to grow more, or force it to grow more.

Really? Have you read the comments from people who are disgusted with Mitch & McCarthy? Their complaints all make sense to me.

I’m not absolving the senators.

They should not be voting for this agenda, period

McCarthy and McConnell must be gone.

Must.

McArthey can’t control the few who will be gone soon. These rinos didn’t get the Va. memo. 2 different departments. They’ll work together when we get the majority. New leader we hope. It would be nice if someone here from Bakersfield would do what that NJ truck driver did.

GOP must rid itself of the Quisling (RINO) wing of the party (13 who voted for the inflation causing “infrastructure” bill)... they are as useless as “breeding” mules (country folk will understand).

Very few GOP politicians have a "radical" mindset necessary to enforce any change whatsoever on Fed.gov. The left is full steam ahead with expanding government as a tool of control and unlimited power. GOP members of government still hold the quaint notion that they will tweak, adjust and optimize this system.

The debt ceiling charade every year is a perfect example of this.

The GOP is a joke with McConnell as their leader voting for this. I’m not voting in 2022.

To be fair you have been consistently right about this for a while.

I normally hate cynicism but find it hard to ignore.

Get real. Expecting the 212 Republican members of the House to vote 100% together on every single bill is unrealistic, no matter who holds the Republican leadership.

It’s up to the leaders to ensure members hold the line

And if not they should be losing their committee positions and status in the party .

Instead... nothing.

But, but they lost with integrity.

Most of the GOP in Congress are just Assistant Democrats.

We MUST elect a true opposition party.

If people hold fast to an insistence on truth and integrity, seeing thru the fog of politics becomes easier.

Loyal Opposition = CONTROLLED Opposition!

When George HW Bush was sworn in, we became a ONE PARTY STATE with the occasional political insurrection that was carefully tamped down from time to time.
