Tells me that if even that political whore gets it, the real internal polling is telling the GOPe RINOs they had better get on board or get left behind.

While "Ukraine is important," GOP concerns about the border and other domestic policies also carry weight, McCarthy added

Steaming pile of RINO excrement, it is not important. We have zero national interests there.

I believe you are right. He was awful during COVID too. But I have fun replying to his posts anyway. There are several Democrats on here that like to get us all worked up. Rev Mom whatever and DannyTN are two of the most notable.

Keep tip-toeing to a rational response to this ginned-up conflict Kevin and you will accomplish nothing.

Admit this conflict does not involve US Interests, was ginned up to hide the Corruption of the Bidens, Romneys, Pelosi’s, and others.

Admit it was done to hide evidence of that Corruption and Evidence of the Disease Labs in the Ukraine.

Admit it was done to hide evidence of tampering in the US election of 2020.

Admit it was started because the US pushed the Russians too far with respect to NATO Membership for Ukraine, Shelling of the Donbass, reneging on the agreements for the Donbas to be semi-autonomous, etc.

Admit these things, quit your tip-toeing, and be a Man, and Kevin, you might start to be effective as a Leader.

Move to Ukraine and fight if you love Ukraine so much. Only morons want to spend America into oblivion for a corrupt country that we have zero national interests.

” So you would potentially sacrifice America for some corrupt criminals half way around the world. Amazing.”

Amazing that you misread my posting based on what you just said.

Kevin McCarthy Mar 2, 2022

“Vladimir Putin has invaded a sovereign nation and terrorized its civilians. His aggression will not stop with Ukraine. The gravity of this moment calls for Congress to speak with one voice. Today, the House voted overwhelmingly to support stronger sanctions against Russia, immediate and more military aid to Ukraine, and energy independence for America. Now, the Biden administration must take immediate action to keep military aid flowing to Ukraine, displace Russian oil and gas, and regain global energy leadership.”

You implied you might vote for a Democrat in the future if the Republicans don’t fund the Ukrainians. How did I misinterpret that?

Given that Biden has made zero effort to "regain global energy leadership" the Ukraine funding needs to stop.

I'd like to see Kevin admit that the first impeachment of Trump was because he decided to take a look at what was going on in Ukraine.

I'd like to see Kevin vow hands off of legimate oversight into US involvement re: Ukraine back to 2013 (and maybe earlier).

I'd also like to see Kevin vow that a case be built, sitting in the docket, for an attorney general post 2024 to prosecute and imprison those inappropriately involved in Ukraine, including expulsion of members of Congress who may still have their butts occupying a seat.

McCarthy, tenant and housemate of gay liberal pollster Frank Luntz, is simply trying to get out in front of any possible conservative opposition to him becoming Speaker.

"It's not a free blank check"

Any Republican who voted to send money to Ukraine without requiring that money being fully accounted for, should be tossed from office if they haven't already been eliminated during the primary season.

On the other hand, Joe could just ignore the teleprompter and tell the world that he has negotiated a truce between Russia and Ukraine, which will lead to world peace and a reduction in energy costs.

Then while he tries to convince Putin and the other guy to go along with the gag, "The White House" will be busy walking back whatever Joe says. (A normal Tuesday activity.)

That's Joe's October surprise. Everybody will be surprised.

McCarthy is reading the political reality; supporting Zelenskyy is deeply unpopular as is war with Russia.
