Will Lucy Move the Football Again?
American Thinker ^ | November 4,2022 | By Paul E. Scates

Posted on 11/04/2022 1:14:40 PM PDT by Hojczyk

And there is hope, for some of those running for House and Senate seats are not the “good ol’ boys” of the GOP establishment like Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Kevin McCarthy, et al. If they’re to be believed, J.D. Vance, Blake Masters, et al, actually recognize that it has been Republican inaction and malfeasance that has helped lead to this destruction. Should they win the Senate, their first move must be to ditch McConnell as majority leader, and start us on the path of undoing the damage of the past two years caused by the Democrats (with the help of the GOP establishment).

But they had better not “move the football” again. If this new breed of GOP politicians “go along in order to get along,” that will be the death knell of the Republican Party. More importantly, if the Republicans win majorities in the House and Senate and don’t immediately, actively, and decisively roll back the Democrat idiocy of the past two years, it will be the end of this nation.

So, the ball is teed up… we, the voters, are going to “kick the football.” What are you going to do, Republicans?

[My guess Venezuela by 2024...]

May be by mid-to-late 2023 if the public are stupid enough to let Democrats continue.

No, but Mitch McConnell might.

First Republican action post Tuesday MUST be to throw Mitch out with garbage.

My BIGGEST fear is election fraud. My second biggest fear is that if Republicans win the House and Senate that nothing much will change.

Nothing is going to be ‘rolled back’ with Republican control of Congress. There won’t be enough votes to over ride a Biden/Harris veto. The best we can hope for is for them to stop the democrat idiocy from moving forward.

That said, watch for movement on all kinds of demo wet-dream legislation in the lame-duck session.

They’re not called “The Stupid Party” for nothing.

Lucy always moves the football.

Even if it’s an involuntary muscle spasm.

Even if she plans not to and tries not to, she does.

The house can do something. They are supposed to controll the purse strings. If the will is there they can defund any and all agencies or tell them how the money is to be spent.

Midterms don’t mean much.

You need 2/3rds majorities in both houses, 3/4ths of the state legislatures, and the Presidency to effect real change.

I’ve seen this movie before:
- The Regan Revolution: cancelled by George H W Bush
- The Tea Party: cancelled by the GOP
- MAGA: Actively being crushed by “both parties” since 2016

You think now they’ll get on board.

Yes, they can in theory. But if they go too far, the bill will be vetoed and the press will show scenes like the Viet Nam Memorial being blocked off to veterans in wheelchairs and the blame will squarely put on the heartless Republicans.

Cut funding for the FBI? “Republicans are defunding law enforcement!”
Cut funding for IRS? “Republicans want to shied tax evaders!”
Cut funding for EPA? “Republicans want your children to be poisoned!”
Cut funding for EVs? “Republicans want to destroy our planet!”
Cut funding for the Ed Dept.? Republicans hate children!”

You get the idea.

All you need is the house solidly controlled by a hardassed dedicated guy.
No more Omnibus budgets.
One budget law funding one function at a time, start with defense funding ONLY!
That will be signed, Then Treasury ONLY, Then Homeland security ONLY, you get the idea? Then they won’t have time to fund most other departments that we really don’t want anyway.
It is all about the money.

Update on Sun Tzu:

Those in GOP who reach across aisle will find no hand left to put back in pocket.

Remember when in 2020 leading up to the election we were told of the coming red wave and Trump would win in a landslide?
Fool me once..........
Prepare yourselves for the shenanigans come election night.
BTW. How are things in Brazil?
