I honestly don’t get Levin sometimes.
He repeatedly tells us that Washington DC will not allow itself to be reformed, and that we will have to do so from OUTSIDE the system they have corrupted for themselves (eluding to an Article V Amendment process), but continues to advocate reforming a corrupted party from inside.
Does he not see the disconnect from his own statements? A lawless corruption will never allow itself to be reformed by remonstrance and law.
I have a suspicion his ‘one inch” before leaving the GOP would be measured in miles by many of us who have already left. If yesterday was not an illustration in futility of reforming a party that is now as corrupted as the other, he will never leave it. At least not publicly.
There is nothing to get. His actions and words do not match.
When Bhoner does that we bitch.
When Obama does that, we bitch.
When ANYONE ELSE does that, we bitch.
So logically and to be consistent, we should hold him to the same standard. There are some I have been arguing with over this for 2 days that think he deserves his own race card. But the proof is in his actions and I don’t care who he is, he should be as accountable as anyone else.
I wonder the same.
It seems his only way to change the Republican party/Washington is via an Article V Convention.
At best, that would take a decade or more from start to finish as the results of the convention would have to be debated by each state legislature.
At worst, the compromisers would come out with amendment revisions for the 1st, 2nd, etc., to put more power in the hands of the government.
Meanwhile, the GOPElites move more and more to the left.
I think you misunderstand what Levin advocates - of course, he is for Amendment V, but also says we should also vote for conservatives to help make changes from within. One isn’t exclusive of the other.
