Trey Gowdy (R-SC) Says His Preferred Method of Stopping Obama is to Let John McCain Do It
RedState ^ | Erick Erickson

Posted on 12/06/2014 3:53:45 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

Now this is just pathetic.

Some of you turned Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC)87% into the hero of the day because of his Benghazi investigation. He could do no wrong. What happens when you build a cult of personalty around any politician is then they can go BOHICA on you.

Bend over America. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC)87% is now on record admitting he’s going to help shove President Obama’s amnesty plan right where you don’t want it.

(SNIP)

So, Hemmer asked Gowdy who he’d stop the President. Gowdy’s answer? He wants to let Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)Heritage ActionScorecardSen. John McCain52%Senate Republican Average64%See Full Scorecard52% handle it by tying up unrelated Presidential nominations in the Senate.

Boehner wants Gowdy to run immigration for a good reason.

Ingraham, Mark Levin and Ann Coulter are already on to the big talking Gowdy. Now Erickson has caught on.

Gowdy is not as strong as Lamar Smith, Steve King and Elton Gallegly.

Freepers warned early about Gowdy. They were right. All Gowdy does is perform theatrics with no real substance

Gowdy?

A perfect example of "Republican" (well "Public," at least) pro-forma opposition to the tyrannical government of The Mombasa MF. Sound and fury signifying nothing.

Gowdy’d purpose is to make the base think that they are getting red meat when in fact they are getting nothing at all.

If he was actually effective at getting any sort of result, he would be picked for not one thing.

I hate to admit I agree with you.

I dearly love Gowdy’s rhetoric, but have long wondered why that’s all there ever seems to be. Would love to be proven wrong!

So Gaudy-Gowdy is just another Darryl Issa? Talking loud and saying nothing? Great, just great.

Sounds like a false dilemma. Erickson is just a blogger.

Freepers love rhetoric, but actually try to do something, and first thing you know, shutting down the government will cost GOP-E seats or something.

Long on talk, short on action that gets guys like Dewhurst fired and guys like Abbott elected.

"Wouldn't be wise". "Not thinking things through".....

When will more of us figure out that 95 percent of GOP politicians and 100 percent of Dems are all putting on a pretend show from domestic issues to foreign policy with fake limited wars.

Countries like the US and UK can’t fight a real all out war as their militaries continue to get cut in size and strength.

McCain’s toughness in foreign policy and defense is to make sure taxpayer dollars go to his defense contractor friends but not to fight and win any kind of war.

Some question the necessity of our military committments and others detract the patriotism of those who question military activities against ISIS or Vladimir Putin.

After all the effort and casualties in Afghanistan there are ‘peace talks’ with the Taliban.

Why fight ‘wars’ when the endgame is negotiating with the
‘enemy’ as appears to be a pattern we saw in Vietnam and now in Afghanistan.

Yeah, that’s why all these threads that I see that are Gowdy destroys so and so...Gowdy absolutely crushes so and so..

Doesn’t matter at all.

No change has been effected whatsoever, and none will be.

I am not interested in kabuki theater.
