House Republicans sell us out

[EJFudd]

I have felt this way about both parties for a while now. The Republican's have betrayed me over and over the Dems have always told that they are my enemy with regard to policy and lately just plain enemy. Betrayal is far worse. Your analysis is spot on here. The answer to your rhetorical question is a resounding, "The Republicans."

This thread goes a long way toward explaining why everyone in the Red states thinks everyone in MA must be crazy.

Can you elaborate?

Digging in on the spending bill and causing discontent right now is a surefire way to lose moderate support. This is a case of losing a battle to win the war. We need to win the war and a short term spending bill isn't the hill to die on.

How much time do you have?

LMAO, dude, how long have you been here? There is no hill. There will never be a hill and anyone who says there is a hill to die on is a Fed. This is NES 101. Theyll be marching us into the ovens and some guy will be saying, "Is this really the hill you want to die on?"

I’d like to be cooked well done.

be pissed and take that energy to the voting booth. Remember much of this can and will be unf***ed post election but we need to get there first. If they decide to change speakers its only going to mess things up more. No one likes the spending bill, its only got juice until september I believe. We can't do anything if we don't remain tactical at this point and get more people elected. Sometimes we need to be a scalpel as opposed to a hammer looking for a nail.

watch what happens to party support if the motion to vacate Johnson goes through. We just need to fly under the radar until the election and then let all hell loose. Chaos in the party in a lead up to an election is going to do more harm than good.

There’s no money for border security as Trump wants to make it an election topic against Biden. Hence whey House Rs torpedoed it in the first place. Can’t use it if something is already being done about it.

Nothing. Milton Friedman is labeled as a right-wing extremist today.

It was his “Free to Choose” TV series that helped me understand the 2008 meltdown! And how Obummer prolonged it like FDR prolonged the Great Depression.

We may not even have a Republican majority by the time the election rolls around. Dems will likely control everything after this coming election so we won't have to fret over Republicans selling us out, we can just complain about the Dems shoving new assault weapon bans, etc. down our throats.

Going, going, gone: Could the Republicans' slim House majority slip away before November?

As time passes, Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are dealing with an uphill battle — much of the friction within the GOP.

WRITE MORE LETTERS TO YOUR CONGRESSMEN THEN VOTE HARDER!!1!

Writing letters and calling congressmen is pointless. Get moderates to stay aligned and actually vote should be the only mission.

Tell me you didn’t read the bill without telling me you didn’t read the bill. All Biden needs to do is walk back all the reversals he did with executive action. Biden has turned border patrol agents basically into the welcoming committee. Hiring more won’t do a thing if they aren’t allowed to enforce the actual law.

Funding doesn’t seem to be a problem when they are chartering flights for hundreds of thousands of illegals into American cities direct from their country of origin.

Maybe before we just toss around billions or dollars into a giant black hole we look at the root cause and not act like money is the fix to every problem.

Oh I’m for it, But not with these Cretans in charge of it
All for charging them with it

Cretin, not Cretan. MY family came from Crete.

When you think about it , declared enemy combatants are required to be treated in accordance with a set of established rules.
Traitors get stood up in front of a wall and shot in most countries.

A razor thin majority in the house is nothing to stake your hopes on. Will be like this until the Republican Party convinces a lot more people that it can act and lead coherently.

Getting to 60 senators and +20 in the House will not happen as long as Trump, MTG and other winners are leading the headlines.

Hunker down, it’s gonna be exciting. Great WSJ editorial pointed out that all of us who do not live in 7 key swing states should be very happy to avoid the campaign bombardment for the next 7 months.

The Republican party had both chambers and the supposed messiah in the President's seat for two years and did nothing. There's not much more they can (not) do to convince people they're effective leaders.

Bingo! They need to change their approach and have a lot of work to do.

As the recent vote just confirmed we have a fake Republican Majority.

I understand the politics and weaponized budget process. But if you look at what exactly some "Republicans" voted for in that bill the betrayal is clearly self evident.

They didn’t consider Trump as “One of Them” and actively did nothing to support his presidency. It was blatantly obvious they were part of the swamp.

Things have changed some now as a good portion of “R”s are now considered MAGA republicans. It’ll be hard for the swamp to ignore Trump like they did previously.

White Single Females are the biggest threat to USA

Maybe Islam has it right about women

Let's just say that they better watch out over there once the females take over.
