But maybe recent experiences will have given some in the GOP a backbone, and Newt’s words will remind them of what it’s all about.
Biden will never read those words.
Biden will soon be discarded like the dried up empty husk he is today and the legion of money grubbing authoritarian politicians, bureaucrats and corporatists behind him will find a new vessel to pursue their fascist agenda.
No, these are the ideals and principles of constitution defending patriots. The GOP is after power to ensure that nothing gets done that is not to the benefit of their cronies and the guys behind them. The left is despicable, but the unprincipled GOPeeers are far worse. These traitors are the enemy in our own camp.
Wish they’d quit calling him “President”. He isn’t.
Those on the left believe the only way to be “for” something is to fund a government program in its name.
So when Biden said “What are Republicans for?” what he meant was “In what ways do Republicans want government to grow?”
A response of shrinking government won’t be satisfactory to the left, because they simply won’t think it answers the question.
Leaving people alone.
Which to a progressive is the most horrific betrayal imaginable...
The Democrats have plenty of ideas, but they cannot discuss them openly.
The plate is already full, simply working to stem the flood of things Dems have foisted upon us:
<><>Zero's ANTIFA & BLM
<><>Racism riots
<><>Defund the Police
<><>Runaway Inflation
<><>Supply chain Mismanagement
<><>Military Mismanagement (e.g, Afghanistan)
<><>Covid mask and vax mandates and lockdowns
<><>Weaponization of the FBI
<><>policies to help destroy middle class and small businesses
<><>Encouraging Cancel Culture
<><>Fascism (working with large corporations against citizenry)
<><>Supplanting "health care" thru doctor-patient relationships onto corporate medical center administrations as a direct extension of government policies
<><>Labeling Parents as Terrorists
<><>Allying with CCP and global elites to relinquish US sovereignty
<><>Weaponizing Prosecutors against fighting crime
<><>Encouraging, Rewarding & Weaponizing Illegal Immigration
<><>Turning blind eye to child trafficking
<><>Full embrace of identity politics
<><>Encouraging/fostering Trans culture
Conservatives are all about individual freedoms and responsibility, which are antithetical to everything the Biden Administration promotes.
A man whose whole life has been plagiiarism and rubber stamps, when in the pinch, has no ideas.
It’s one thing to have principles. It’s one thing to have ideas. It’s quite another to do more than pay lip-service to those principles and ideas. That’s where the current party is falling down on the job.
True that Livius. Unfortunately, once a person gets inside the beltway, their connection to reality and critical thinking evaporates. It is a very nasty, networked town. The less they “achieve”, the better off we all are.
“What are Republicans for? What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for.”
A real journalist’s would have responded immediately - “Mr Xiden, you’ve been in DC for 50+ years, and you mean to say you don’t have any idea for what the Republicans stand?”
