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

Posted on 11/13/2022 3:57:53 PM PST by conservative98

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

"I didn’t really expect a red wave because there was no platform at all put forth."

I didn't expect a red wave, although I hoped for one. I was fairly skeptical about the red wave the media claimed was going to happen, and with unlimited voter fraud being the modus operandi, I figured it wasn't going to happen. After the 2020 steal, the Democrats were never going allow Republicans to end up with a large majority in either House of Congress ever again. They've got the system down pat, and have turned our country into a third-world communist shit-hole. I was hoping I'd be dead before that ever happened, but that didn't work out either.

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.

Ya, no thanx.
I don’t want to compete in a race to see who can cheat most.

How bout some brutal purge of the reprobate and bureaucracy and vote fraud with some good old punishment and consequences for crime ?

And people who prove their integrity and love of country and countryman.

You know,,

making America great again.

It is time to form a new political party and to leave Scum like McConnell and Romney whine in the dirt.

"You just now learning this?"

No, I've know it for a long time. January 6th was the end of it for me. I belong to "no party" now, and if Donald Trump isn't the Presidential Candidate in 2024, I won't be voting. I wasn't going to vote in the midterms, but went out on Election Day here in New York State, and voted straight Republican. A lot of good that did, just like it hasn't done a lot of good the last 54 years I've been voting.

And how many years have people been saying that? The GOP is not redeemable, and will never be changed, not when you still have people who will vote for a known RINO POS, just to keep the seat.

and how do you elect someone on election reform when the party they are running against has the means to steal their election? I’d love to hear this one.
It’s not the message. It’s not the messenger. It’s not voter turnout or enthusiasm; it’s overcoming systematic fraud on a large scale. Until someone comes with a cure, you’re under 1 party rule.

Term limits, political contribution reform is needed. We limit the president’s terms, now it’s time to do the same with house/senate.

Incumbents in congress for 40+ years is insane.

Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Restore the individual state’s role in Federal policy making.

Ballot harvesting and vote-by-mail are now legal in multiple states after the pandemic. What punishment and consequences do you want to come up with in such states?

The GOP didn't learn anything from the attempted steal in 2000, or they chose not to learn anything. There were times they had control over both Houses and The White House during these past 20 years, and did nothing about election reform.

Voting laws for each state are enacted at the state level - Congress and the White House have nothing to do with whether vote-by-mail or ballot harvesting are legal in California.

/\

I want Nurehmberg 2.o

And trials for those behind the bioweapon attack and SCAMdemic economic warfare against the globe’s citizens for starters .

Then revocation and recriminalization of ballot harvesting and no I.d. voting by mail.

Then investigations of the electorial, voter and ballott frauds in the last 2 election cycles and trials and convictions and imprisonments and even death penalties if any convicted of treason.

Then reEnforce the laws that rogue liarcrats, bureaucrats and judges ignored ,

and prosecution of said actors for malfeasance of office in ignoring those laws.

I want such scorched earth that even the mention of the name Sherman will make every living weasel scurry back to their holes never to dare try that crap again.

Vengeance is the Lords, and I will probably have to settle for that.

You,
you just want to cheat harder than they cheat ?

I want to follow the laws of those states to win elections. It's a lot more effective than empty revenge fantasies.

I stand by the predication. You don’t seem to realize how nefarious these federal state security apparatuses are. Tax tyranny for potentially anyone involved. I remind you of this.

One of maybe a hundred to be found until local and state started the racially determining of policing policy. And God help you if you if you are coordinating across state lines and you forget to dot an i. “6 ways to Sunday”. They intimidate the hell out of me even though I’m just cowering in my basement.

Watch your language, dummy.

If you want to babble about "justice and rule of law", you might want to pay attention when someone with more brains tells you that ballot harvesting is now legal in multiple states.
