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

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.

Here's another fact you don't want to admit.

Your republican House funded Obamacare.

I don't give a damn about republicans. This is a conservative site, not a republican one.

Accuse someone else of advancing socialism, republican boy. I'm trying to get rid of liberal republicans, regardless of their cover.

Lost in translation

Look at the date. Howdy just convened his committee. Seven months ago.

We were expecting the trey howdy show all summer. Nothing

The Ollie North fawn hill show was like a couple of months start to finish

Howdy would have to go an impossibly long way to even hint that he’s not all talk

Blechhh. Lukewarm

[JRandomFreeper]

Gowdy vote for Concurring with Senate Amendments: H.R. 3547 - Omnibus Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2014 that funded the government again, including Obamacare.

Get back to me when he reads Dr. Sues on the Senate floor. Then tell me about theatrics.

I don’t understand why he took on Benghazi, that’s been a piece of dog poo since it started. Yes Obama did wrong stuff, no you won’t be able to overcome the insurmountable problem of: Obama is Commander and Chief and he gets to decide what to do — including that propaganda they put out about the riots — I know, I’m puking over it too.

Now, IRS, there’s the real scandal. I hope he gets to drop Benghazai and lead the IRS investigation.

yeah wait till the new Republican congress gets here in january . then Obamacare is going to be gutted . then you can hold Republicans accountable when they have some real numbers. Reid denied hundreds of bills the Republican house passed. though Obama will try to veto everything

[Democrat_media]

every single democrat senator and congressman voted to pass Obama care to make it law . every single Republican senator and congress man voted no to pass Obamacare

[JRandomFreeper]

Trey Gowdy voted to fund Obamacare in 2014.

You really are a one trick pony.

Republicans can KMA. They could stop all of this now. They don't need numbers in January.

/johnny

[JRandomFreeper]

then you can hold Republicans accountable

I hold them accountable NOW.

As much as you would like to, you don't get to make rules for other people.

Get used to it.

The Democrats in Gowdy’s district hate him nearly as much as some posters on this thread do.

Exaggerate much???

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Add Gowdy to the RINO list now?

[stanne]

Howdy = gowdy. It was my phone.

Anyway, Gowdy is all talk.

It may seem an exaggeration to you, but in fact, Gowdy is detested for his politics yet still respected as honest by political liberals in this district who know him. Gowdy just recently won re-election easily.

If what has been posted so far on this FR thread has mostly been showing appreciation for Rep. Gowdy's honesty and integrity, then I surely was mistaken and have erroneously exaggerated.

[JRandomFreeper]

I don't care as much about the rhetorical honesty and integrity as I do about him voting in 2014 to fund the government (including obama's agenda) by voting for the CR.

The other is talk. His vote is his action.

[Resettozero]

I don't care as much about the rhetorical honesty and integrity...

Understood. Will try to keep in mind.

[JRandomFreeper]

Others around here may care about rhetoric. I don't. I watch what politicians do.

/johnny

[Resettozero]

And I'm getting ready to get much less polite about getting down to the nut cut.

Understood. I believe I see where you're headed with this line of thinking.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Just kick him off the judiciary and put someone else there.

The simple question is why is Boehner putting Gowdy on an immigration committee? How many illegals and businesses(who Gowdy says cant find workers) has Gowdy prosecuted in SC?

[Resettozero]

I watch what politicians do.

And Gowdy is not a favorite of yours. Anymore, at least. This thread, added to others, is clearly evident of your feelings about his political action(s).

[sergeantdave]

“I was wrong about Gowdy. He is as corrupt as the rest of them.”

You do know that this lying RINO prick, Erick Erickson, backed Romney, right?

[JRandomFreeper]

There are no favorites as far as I'm concerned.

There are simply conservatives, and liberals.

Their actions tell me what they are.

I do what I can to advance conservatism, and to politically destroy liberals.
