Rep. Justin Amash is celebrating this Fourth of July in a manner years in the making: by declaring his independence from the Republican Party.
No matter your circumstance, Im asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us, Amash wrote in a Washington Post op-ed posted Thursday morning. Im asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.
Amash, perhaps the most fiscally conservative member of Congress, has increasingly been at odds with the GOP. In May, he became the first and only Republican in Congress to call for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. And in June, Amash stepped down from the once-ideologically conservative, now steadily more partisan House Freedom Caucus.

this jerkwad is simply grandstanding for the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia because he knows he’s toast with the RNC given that RNC fundraising is now 100% combined with Trump fundraising, so he’s not going to get a single cent from the party anyway ... not to mention he’s got primary opponents pouring out of the woodwork ...
this is his dying gasp of public life ...
I think you left a few synonyms out:
noun
(in a man) the quality of having strength, energy, and a strong sex drive; manliness.
"great importance is placed on a man's virility" synonyms: manliness, masculinity, maleness, manfulness, manhood, machismo, gallantry, chivalry, valour, valiance, fearlessness, bravery, intrepidity, stout-heartedness, lionheartedness, boldness, daring, heroism, mettle, spirit; strength, vigour, toughness, robustness, powerful build, muscularity, muscle, brawniness, sturdiness, ruggedness, heftiness, huskiness; red-bloodedness, sexual potency, potency, sexuality, fertility, fecundity; informalladdishness, hunkiness, beefiness "there was a virility about him that showed in his every movement"
If he hasn’t been already, the GOP needs to strip him of every committee assignment. He wants to be an “Independent” while badmouthing and undermining the President, go grovel to Pelosi for assignments and caucus with the Demonrats.
A few minutes ago PDJT tweeted with his size 12 shoe:
“Great news for the Republican Party as one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress is quitting the Party. No Collusion, No Obstruction! Knew he couldnt get the nomination to run again in the Great State of Michigan. Already being challenged for his seat. A total loser!”
Also noteworthy, Beck sang Amash’s praises a few days ago.
So true. He posed as a republican to get elected. He was nothing but a FRAUD. He joins others like McCain, Romney, Kasich....to name a few.
I believe he knows there's no way he can hold his seat...I believe his intention now is to split the Republican vote to give the victory to the Democrats...
It’s not often you see rats jumping ON a Sinking Ship!
*SNORT*
What, so he’s NOT frightened by what he sees in the Democrat Party?? As for a third party, that will only help democrats.
Jerk. How about he gets out of politics period, if his core values are so easily shifted.
We constantly thought they cared about what they campaigned on. We took their word when they said they couldnt get things done because of the Democrats.
We saw them as the Chicago Bulls in their heyday, but they were always the Washington Generals.
Buh bye boob, took ya too long.
Great post! I will have to digest that for a while.
Very good post.
I’m not sure that I agree with you—but my agreement isn’t what matters—the points that you make are worth considering.
The reason I’m not sure that I agree with you is that I think we largely have a uniparty. If we got rid of all the “RINOs” who would we have left.
A republic—if you can keep it.
We are already seeing rulings from the courts we would not have had without Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. It is a simple rule of math that we have a majority in congress. A RINO is better than a Democrat any day. Its the truth. Primaries are the way to move the party to the right but after that WE NEED EVERY REPUBLICAN POSSIBLE! Ill proudly vote against a Democrat every time! Democrats are THAT bad!
Perfectly and succinctly stated.
Good post.
That said, one naturally wants to be able to do what one thinks one is called to do.
No one individual can fix the country.
The only individual who could on his own would be Christ, and given the state of the Church, however you define it, it seems fairly clear that His ways of fixing things usually aren’t our ways.
“Amash, perhaps the most fiscally conservative member of Congress”
Now there is some obvious propaganda for ya. He writes an op ed to the WP even. Calls for the impeachment of the president. He sure sounds like a conservative to me.
John Cornyn in Texas is NOT who I want for a senator, but if it comes down to a vote between him and Bobby O'Rourke, I've gotta go Cornyn.
Good, one less corporate whore masquerading as a conservative.
The two questions posed remain unanswered, and I left out all synonyms because the word used in your post is virility, not some other word. Responding with a discussion of synonyms sidesteps the issues raised.
Well at least he is no longer pretending to be a Republican now. Unfortunately he may continue to claim to be a “principled constitutional conservative” for a while.
I predict his voting record will get even worse now, since he longer has to worry about making it thru a GOP primary or casting token votes with the GOP caucus because he “has to” to maintain his Republican committee assignments.
I feel sorry for the GOP voters in his district that have to put up with this guy’s antics because he likes the national spotlight.
Anyone heard from his fan club lately? Are they still making excuses for him?
