Life is nothing like the simple world portrayed on talk radio.
Principle?? On talk radio ‘principle’ only means what they say it does and keep in mind they only talk to the choir. Ted Cruz isn’t Senator of NY, NJ or CA, he's Senator of Texas a bright Red state. He goes home appreciated.
Lou Gohmert has great job always voting for ‘principle’ that just happens to be what 99% of what his district wants.
January 2 this year Gohmert had a great chance to challenge Bohner as Speaker by announcing a run for it before that vote. Then he could have shown us how he doesn't blink.
But no way would he take that job(none of them would) as Speaker. That job would be very unpleasant no fun at all. His job is fun
He gets to play ‘Holier than thou’ all while making his district happy.
So let me see if I understand you better now.
Are you saying that one should bend to what dems are howling for vs. what is best for the district/state/country?
Am I getting that right?
Maybe Cruz et al have it ‘easier’ because their constituents don’t have their head up their backside. Maybe, just maybe, those who understand where socialism leads to, are better at electing men and women to fight against it, for them!
