Oh look another DeSantis bot still whining because Trump won the GOP Primary

Do you know this about Massie?

Top DeSantis Ally Rep. Massie Calls McCarthy Ouster ‘An Unmitigated Disaster.’ [February 7, 2024

or this?

Massie somehow convinced himself to vote for McCarthy 15 times, so this principled purist routine of his is just an act.

He's not a loser, just fiscally responsible.

He's full of crap.

This is the guy who was in a position as the deciding vote on the measure in the House Rules Committee to unilaterally block the Biden-McCarthy deal in the spring of 2023 to suspend the debt ceiling through 2024.

And having made a career out of sanctimoniously whining about fiscal irresponsibility, and literally walking around with a stupid clock that tracks the federal debt to make his point, he had all the fortitude of a wet noodle and voted in favor of that Biden-McCarthy deal.

When Massie ran last, he had no Dem opponent. That should tell you something.

Just stop lying.

Your pompous blowhard ranting pretending to an “uber Conservative” is so obviously the behavior of a Democrat bot poster that no one takes you seriously here on anything.

We been aware of the Democrat proapganda tactic for decades at Free Republic. It doesn’t sell here.

LOL. When have the Republicans ever been an charge? They might have had a majority, but the Dems were always in charge.

Democrats could have a 1 seat majority and accomplish more than Republicans with a 45 seat majority.

He’s a pretty good flim-flam man. Puts on a good show but is ineffective. Trey Gowdy.

At this time, it is the best outcome. Let’s see how Johnson does. I am not a fan of Johnson and I do believe he is better than McCarthy, but the infighting and division is far more corrosive, IMO.

As they say in the military, you go to war with what you have. We have to prepare to go to political war on 1/20/2025.

No surpise, Nicky the Democrat bot busy being a fake “Uber Conservative”, is whining at the winners instead of supporting ANYTHING.

Well, first of all, that's a total lie. You can't find a single post where I endorsed DeSantis, because I didn't. I didn't endorse anyone.

The oe thing I did say is, he did a good job fighting vote fraud in Florida, which is something the Republican party as as whole needs to learn. Can anyone deny that? Why are you pro-vote fraud. But the fact that your brain can't see the nuance between one simple statement and being a bot, is pretty sad.

What happened to you? In the 200's you were a smart conservative, but now you think conservatives are the bad guys.

I agree .
Johnson is a Dem plant
like McCarthy or Ryan or Bonehead were.
He threw Gaetz on purpose
and tried to seal Liz
Cheney J 6 traitors work
with his Omnibus treason bill .
We are going to
a repeat of Paul
Ryans 2016.2018 stall tactics .
He is aDem plant.

Again, I have plenty of criticism for Massie. But at least he does care about controlling big government, and is willing to disagree with Democrats.

Mike Johnson is just a shill for Pelosi.

If I could pick the House Speaker, it wouldn't be Massie. But I'm not sure who it would be. The options are paltry. You need someone who is adept at the political maneuvers, but you want someone who will support the cause. At least someone who will reach across the aisle and work with conservatives. Johnson won't.

LOL. Point to one area I am fake conservative.

You hate me because I am pro-life, anti-LGBT agenda, small government, solid borders. Those used to be things conservatives supported. Now you villainize them.

You are crazy. First of all, I've been here a lot longer than you. I've been to the March for Life, and many events.

You still can't point to one thing I've done that is botlike.

Only because non-globalists don’t have the votes to get elected.
