GOP Sen. Josh Hawley: Grand 'Old Party Is Dead; Time to Bury It'
Newsmax ^ | Sunday, 13 November 2022 | Eric Mack

Lamenting the reality the Senate will remain in Democrats' control for the next two years, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is calling for an overhaul of the establishment Republican Party in Washington, D.C.

"The old party is dead," Hawley tweeted Saturday night. "Time to bury it. Build something new."

Hawley was reacting to the news Republican Adam Laxalt's votes have been overtaken by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., clinching the Senate majority for Democrats.

"Washington Republicanism lost big Tuesday night," Hawley tweeted earlier this week. "When your 'agenda' is to cave to Big Pharma on insulin, cave to Schumer on gun control & Green New Deal ('infrastructure'), and tease changes to Social Security and Medicare, you lose.

"What are Republicans actually going to do for working people?" he had asked in a previous tweet Thursday. "How about, to start: tougher tariffs on China, reshore American jobs, open up American energy full throttle, 100K new cops on the street. Unrig the system."

The remarks, effectively supporting the agenda of former President Donald Trump, were pointed at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who pulled Senate Leadership funding from Arizona to help Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania. Both races were lost, giving the Democrats the majority again.

"You can't expect independent voters to vote Republican unless you give them an agenda they care about," Hawley further railed on Twitter

Hawley gets it. The GOP/Republican Party as it is, is not redeemable, and never will be. It belongs on the trash heap of history. People who care need to change their registrations to Independent/No Party. I did after 40+ years after January 6th. It’s time to send a message to these arrogant fools, who take us for granted, and only know us when they want something from us.

Unless the new party learns how to harvest ballots and game mail-in votes, it will lose too. This is not about the party, it’s about learning from the 2020 election instead of re-living it repeatedly.

Well, the GOP that is into WEF and other global corrupt nonsense has been dead for a long time.

Been saying that for awhile.

I want a party that stands up for America and American values.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Not these communist grifters in office now.

Agree. Repubs have no leadership whatsoever. McIdiot is...a idiot.
Any group of “leaders” who lose to the current democRAT band of bastards and bitches deserves a very long and awful death.

If Republicans start emulating the dems during election season, the FBI goons will descend on them like locusts. I guarantee that if every i isn’t dotted and t crossed these Republicans will do hard gulag time. The dems? The law doesn’t apply to dems.

Unless the leftist dems impeach him he is in office until after the next presidential election.

If he is running, it is to serve as Minority Leader and McConnell may now just be weak enough to be toppled. Most real R's would like to see McConnell retire and liv with his ill-gained CCP money.

The Whigs faded quickly when the issue of slavery became the most important issue and they vacillated on it. The Republican Party seized the issue and put Lincoln in the White House.

The issue today, as far as I’m concerned, is honest elections. Form a new party, make election reform the ONLY issue that they care about and ride that horse as far as it will go.

For myself, I do not care about crime, inflation, war, or abortion. I’ll vote for someone serious and focused on election reform. If that isn’t their CENTRAL concern then they will not get my vote.

Ballot-harvesting is legal in some states - the Dems made the laws in those states in response to the pandemic, the Republicans better start exploiting every one of those laws the way Democrats have. And this would not be a matter for the FBI - these are state laws.

It’s time to rebrand into the pro-worker, low taxes, smaller government set up to allow state governments to hold more power than the federal government in most circumstances, and minority-inclusive party.

Sure, we’ll invest in green energy...while we drill the heck out of the oil we have so that your gas is $1.50 and diesel $1.90 while a viable electric vehicle is derived and your utility bills aren’t through the roof.

We’ll pay for healthcare, but we’re going to gut most of big-pharma and the for-profit model of medical care that takes advantage of patients to pay for it. We’ll ensure SS and medicare are fully funded by reducing spending elsewhere.

We’ll refocus our military on war-fighting functions and ensure fairness and justice for inappropriate behavior.

We’ll secure our streets by simultaneously enforcing existing laws while investing in rehabilitation for those who are redeemable.

We will create a ballot distributing and collection system that will defeat the democrat machine at their own game.

We can do this. Will we?

He seems to get out. He should run for leadership. Trump, just once, should have a legitimate ally in leadership.
