Senate Republicans Are Failing Us... Big Time
PJ Media ^ | 11 Mar 2021 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 03/11/2021 2:30:53 PM PST by Rummyfan

The Democratic Party stood virtually united “resisting” Trump for four years. Their stalwart opposition was ruthless and unwavering. It had been my hope that if there was any lasting legacy of Trump in the Republican Party it would be that he taught them not just to not walk away from a fight but to actually fight back.

Yet again, I find myself disappointed.

On Wednesday the Senate confirmed racial conspiracy theorist Marcia Fudge as HUD secretary, and Merrick Garland as attorney general.

Fudge was confirmed 66-34, and Garland 70-30.

How did Fudge get sixteen Republicans to vote for her confirmation? And How did Garland get twenty?

Rest assured, I’m not calling for blanket opposition to Biden’s nominees. That is not a good strategy. But fighting the nominations of exceptionally bad nominees should be an easy thing for the GOP to unify and rally behind. Yet they’re not.

Watch who is appointed to replace him on the court.
It will be some one much worse.

They are doing the job that their donors want them to do.

When globalist can’t get a Democrat elected, because the state or district is too conservative, then they try to get a RINO elected.

They've been failing us for the past four years, although it took a while for it to sink in.

Look at what happened.

Russia, Russia, Russia went on for two years under a GOP House and Senate, without even a hint at investigating the dossier that started the whole mess.

Sessions recused himself when he could have demanded verification of the dossier, which we now know was bogus.

False claims about what President Trump had said went unchallenged by the GOP, even though they could have been easily refuted.

A Republican governor whom President Trump had endorsed along with a mostly Republican State House and Senate allowed fraud to occur when it had the power to stop it. I think you all know which state I'm referring to, but this was repeated to some degree in a lot of other states.

With few exceptions for whom I'm thankful, the Republicans caved at every point where they could have made a stand.

Now, with the democrats in charge of the White House, House, and Senate, the GOP wants to speak out against the stimulus or pass bills in Georgia enforcing religious freedom, and we're supposed to forget all of this and start throwing our support their way again?

Not while this bunch are our choices.

Republicans are just the right aisle of the DC Uniparty.

the GOP isn’t prepared to get radical.

“ Nope. Republicans are failing us, period. It’s all a big joke. We have been played for decades.”

Republicans are in the government business, too. They want more power and money, just like everyone in government, and they are willing to play any games necessary to get what they want. When they say that they want small government, most of them are lying.

Hell, they failed us long ago. After Reagan it was done from the get go.

There is a lot to be said for letting the clowns be clowns.

Senate Republicans aren’t failing us.
They don’t represent us (conservatives).

So there are people “worse” than garland who we don’t want as AG then too? Right? Or is it better to just bash Republicans, while ignoring Democrats, for reasons.

“I’m not calling for blanket opposition to Biden’s nominees”

Why not?

An illegitimate tyrant has no right to nominate anyone to office.

Who were the Republican Senators that voted to confirm her?

You forgot to mention that the crooked elections were overseen by a GOP SOS, GOP Gov, GOP Lt Gov. and GOP AG.

The Democrats could not have stolen the elections without the assistance of the GOP.

Failing is what Republicans do. It’s about the only thing they’re good at.

We sit out general elections, let the Democrats win, let them outlaw our guns, let them permanently rig voting, let them flood the country with illegals and make citizens of the ones already here, and let them silence us.

What we learned in the last election is that voting doesn't matter anymore. If you didn't learn that, I'm not sure how you can be helped.

WE VOTED. Our votes, without the fraud would have had the GOP cleaning up right now.

But what did the Never-Trumpers do? They schemed to get Biden in because they hate Donald Trump.

The Never-Trumpers are the ones who put us in this position.

Yeah, McConnell, Ryan, Cindy McCain and all the rest.

Are they happy at what they have done?

How much did Soros pay them to kick us all in the chins.

The last GOP fundraising letter I got, I ripped up everything but one page that had no info leading back to me. Then I wrote with a large blue sharpie:

"WE VOTED EN MASSE FOR DONALD TRUMP. HE WON THE ELECTION AND YOU KNOW IT. DON'T COME AFTER ME TO HELP YOU FIGHT THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE WE HANDED YOU GUYS THE PRESIDENCY AND THE SENATE AND POSSIBLY THE HOUSE. WE DID OUR JOB AND YOU DID NOT."

The official motto of the Republican Party:

“I’m not really a Republican but I pretend to be during election time. Please Clap.”

Neither is a good option since the result was the same. Apart from Divine Intervention, I don’t know what the answer is.

On an unrelated note, Biden and his Demagogic Party bosses in Congress are cracking down on private ownership of firearms.
