And his ilk. J.B. Shurk at The American Thinker reviews McConnell's recent disgraceful behavior. A sample:
[H]is decision to browbeat the president right after finding him "not guilty" reeked of cowardice. He gave every appearance of having raised a wet index finger in the air before determining how to proceed, and when it was clear from recent polling that Republican voters had not abandoned President Trump en masse, as McConnell no doubt had hoped, the minority leader decided to turn King Solomon's wisdom on its head by cutting the impeachment baby squarely in half — acquitting the president on procedural grounds while verbally excoriating him nonetheless. It was a striking reminder that, with President Trump now sidelined from power, two-faced, stand-for-nothing Republican leadership is back on top. O glory days!
Update If Trump decides not to attempt a comeback, remember: there's always a just-as-good alternative!
Sadly, a number of years ago, I foolishly contributed to McTurtle's reelection campaign.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time since my vote for Nixon in '68 I am no longer a registered republican. They've proven themselves to be spineless and not willing to fight for their constituents against the democrat thugs who have no conscience and know how (and are more than willing) to punch below the belt.
Rush is gone and The Donald is sidelined--is there any reason for optimism?
There is little enough to be optimistic about, but there is no need for despair, either. I think common sense will eventually reassert itself, and, frankly, I don't believe the ruling class, as a group, has the intelligence to successfully snuff out the spirit of liberty.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm wrong - well, there are worse ways to go out than as an outlaw.
