The Republican Party is a Mess

By Rich Kozlovich

Definition leads to clarity, and this article, Congressional RINOs do Democrats' bidding, by Patricia McCarthy is the essence of clarity when it comes to defining the Republican party.  Did the Texas Republicans punish the fleeing Democrats as they promised? No.  And she goes on to expose all the RINO's who talk big and walk small, afraid they might offend the Democrats, who are playing just as dirty as they ever have, with:

..........the Soros/Reed Hoffman left ......spending billions to recruit and pay protestors to scream and march against anything Trump does" [forcing the] "Democrats into defending all manner of criminals – rapists, child molesters, murderers and of course lesser thugs that torment law-abiding citizens in all major cities, especially DC, Chicago, NYC and LA. They thrive on the chaos they foment.

The Republican Party has no shared vision or goals.  The leadership in every state is filled with RINO's who are lying to their base, just like DeWine in Ohio and their choice for the Senate in 2024, Matt Dolan, whose vision is far more in line with Democrat Sherrod Brown than with Donald Trump.  Fortunately Bernie Moreno, an America First conservative won.  

When Vance became Vice President DeWine picked John Husted to replace him, and many of my friends who are involved in things consider him a RINO, and since he was DeWine's choice, it must be true.  Now, Sherrod Brown is intending to run against DeWine's pick, so it's my view the Democrats must think he's a RINO also.  Why Brown?  Name recognition.  The Democrats have no one, and are an even bigger mess than the Republicans, as a result they're massively losing voters all over the nation.

A number of elected Republicans have gone on the air to be interviewed explaining how Republicans are a mess, and really need to get their act together in order to deliver for the American people, and all that sounds nice, but given the state of affairs in the Republican party, its a bit delusional.

 

How does a party get it's act together when one side wants to continue going along to get along, spending and borrowing as if there's no penalty for such insanity, and is willing to scheme to destroy the Republican majority in the House?  Somehow I find that to be a bit....just a tiny bit... insurmountable.

 

How is a party to find common goals when it has members, like Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, and Alaska Senator Murkowski who was so outraged that Trump was the Republican nominee, she said would not vote for him, and broadcast that to the world.  Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley refuses to confirm Trump's choice for U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, in spite of the fact it was Trump's support that got him reelected when he was down in the polls.   Clearly a mistake.

 

The Speaker of the House Johnson, and the Majority Leader of the Senate, Thune refuse to recess Congress which would allow the President to make recess appointments.   Appointments they've allowed the Democrats to hold up for months, and even giving Democrats veto power over Trump's picks with something called the Senate Blue Chip rule, which gives Senators veto power over picks for their state and that's not in the Constitution by the way.   That's a Senate rule and can be overturned by the Senate leadership.  The argument against ending that rule is you need to be careful for what you wish for, because at some point the opposition will be in charge.  When the Democrats faced the Blue Chip Rule when in power and it never mattered, they overturned it as it suited them, and did it multiple times. They got what they wanted then just as they're getting now because the Republicans are invertebrates.  

 

The difference between Murkowski, Collins and so many of these others in the Republican party in both the Senate and the House and the Democrats is...... well...... let me think about this for a second.  There isn't any difference.  Imagine that. 

So, what's saving them? The Democrats march in lockstep, but their march is deranged, described as by a CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten as, "messier than a hoarder’s basement." 

 

I received this via e-mail and have no idea who originated it, but it lists irrefutable facts of life, which I've paraphrased, all of which is an absolute condemnation of the chaos being promoted by the nation's Democrat party.

If you leave the gate open, the cow will wander off.  So if you intentionally leave the gate open, you want the cow to wander off. You can't blame stupidity or laziness. It was intentional, ergo, if the Democrats left the southern border wide open, you get more drug trafficking and human trafficking.  So if the Democrats intentionally left the border wide open, Democrats wanted more drug trafficking and human trafficking. 

 

If the Democrats  cut police budgets, history and reality shows crime increases.  So if Democrats intentionally cut police budgets, Democrats wanted more crime on the streets. 

 

If you cut back the supply of oil, gas prices (and everything else) will go up. So if Democrats intentionally cut back the supply of oil, Democrats wanted gas prices to go up. 

 

If printing trillions of dollars without increasing the supply of goods, inflation will hit hard, and this is a condemnation of both parties.  So if they intentionally print trillions of dollars without more goods they wanted inflation to hit hard. 

You can feel the quality of your life going down with the country. These are not foolish or misguided people. They are attempting to drive the nation somewhere we don't really want to go.  

The Republicans are a mess, and have earned the epithet "the stupid party".  The Democrats are insane and deserve the epithet "the party of treason".   

And those are the choices?  That's what really is a mess.
