“Maybe, but I see this a little differently. It was easy to con people about Social Security and Medicare because their insolvency and personal financial impacts were years/decades in the future.”
The problem is that politicians like McConnell and Ryan are only thinking about the midterm elections in 2018 (short term), and are scared to death that pulling an entitlement away from people will cost them those elections, and thus power. It’s always about power and what the MSM will write about them.
I have more respect for evil, drooling, felon, Hillary than I do for these scum.
You’re wrong. McConnell and Ryan have one primary responsibility in their positions — to maintain their majority. If they lose the majority in some landslide, resignation then becomes in play unless their party begs them to stay.
McConnell is pretty much the ONLY reason Obama’s USSC nominee didn’t get seated. He had the balls to hold that seat open and hope for a GOP win. He got it. If he had let that seat fill, the court would be overwhelmingly liberal for a long time to come. HE is why you get a conservative or at least even handed court. Every time you bad mouth him, remember his courage.
Ryan didn’t want to be Speaker. THE HOUSE GOP BEGGED HIM. There was no one else who could get even close to a majority. Well, now he’s trying to do his job — which is hold the majority.
Y’all think you’re red meat hardcore conservatives? You think the guys you are applauding are? Watch them. In about 4 weeks. The present Continuing Resolution expires April 28. A new one will have to be crafted. The present one includes Obamacare funding including Planned Parenthood and funding for illegals. So will the new one. Ryan has to get that passed. You think any of your wackos could get it passed?
