Conservatives are often disappointed when Republicans tell us one thing at home when they’re running for office and do quite the opposite as soon as they cross the Potomac.
It doesn’t take a long memory to remember that Republicans campaigned on “repealing Obamacare.” These Republicans came home to campaign and loudly proclaimed: “Give us a Republican House!”
Conservatives stepped up and made it so.
But the GOP candidates came back and pleaded: “No, we can’t repeal Obamacare unless you give us a Republican Senate.”
So, conservative activists gave Republicans the Senate.
To which the Republican Congress opined, “We’re close, this close to repealing Obamacare. Just give us the House, the Senate, and the White House and we will repeal Obamacare!”
We all know how that turned out. Voters gave Republicans both Houses of Congress and the Presidency and Republicans reneged and we live with Obamacare to this day.
Likewise, Republicans came home and said: “Vote Republican! The Democrats spend too much and borrow too much!”
And conservatives gave Republicans another shot. Because, as conservatives, we know Democrats don’t care about the debt but we continue to hope Republicans do.
So, I have “shocking” news for conservatives, big-government Republicans are really secretly tied at the hip to spendthrift Democrats. The Republicans differ only in where they wish to spend the money

Anyone with a brain would know that.
Fool me once..... But they are still liars and cads and a party with rails feathers and really hot tar is long overdue.
Now that they can steal elections it doesn’t matter what people vote for.
Rand Paul for Speaker! 👍😎
My voting days are over.
No kidding Rand! We believe you, and we support you. Now, what can be done about it? We need leadership.
Interesting you say that. They do seem more brazen and open about what they’re doing
No “Stuff” Sherlock...
The last to know
Also there is no way they held the Senate and the GOP only managed a narrow majority in the House considering the performance of the sitting president.
I agree with you it stinks.
But all I will say is no one here expected Youngkin to win Virginia...
These last two elections were ridiculous. People want to try to pretend there is no fraud, but many are reluctantly admitting it because its so damn obvious. Even our own beloved trolls are conceding ground on this.
Until the unsavory part starts the best thing we can do is keep it in their faces. I contend we need to vote harder than ever and make the fraud insanely obvious. This helps our cause in the court of public opinion.
And we must in no way embrace cheating in any way. That will be used to distribute blame across all. The blame for all this lies exclusively on their side of the aisle. Man do they want to share it with us. F them, no way.
To quote Andy Partridge and XTC:
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the left?
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the right?
I say it really doesn’t matter where you put your vote
‘Cause someone else will come along and move it
And it’s always been the same
It’s just a complicated game
That’s less than they deserve.
I’m of the opinion shared by many that the reason the ‘red wave’ never materialized is because enough right-of-center and conservative types who abhor the GOPe brand just didn’t turn out to support the lesser of evils. This is not complicated.
Bozo McCarthy is Paul Ryan’s sock puppet clown.
“They do seem more brazen and open about what they’re doing”
This is deeply troubling. The only conclusion I can come to is they think its too late for them to be opposed in any meaningful way.
Or it could be a psyop. Overwhelming display of confidence, instilling the idea it would be futile/crazy to try.
Rand made the Front Page !
It’s an important article. Maybe not news here but most people dont know what goes on.
Thank you to whoever did that. I will donate another 20 bucks.
“I’m of the opinion shared by many “
Yes, the left keeps telling me that’s what happened.
