The Republican party on a national level has one great failing; most of the members elected to office are spineless. This failure has plagued the Republican party for decades. In order to comfortably retake the House of Representatives and retain the Senate this must be fixed soon.
I’m by no means the first to bemoan the Repulican party
members for being spineless. It has been
an all too frequent topic of discussion on conservative websites. Check out this American Thinker article When
will the timid GOP wussy boys step up to the plate?
As the Democrats plow ahead in their hollow quest to bring President Trump down, the absurdity of their pitiful scheme becomes ever more pathetic. But we can say this for the Dems: they stick together, and they stick to their plan, no matter how futile it is.
The Republicans? Not so much. They do not stick together; they don’t stick to any plan. They seem to barely agree on what conservatism is, let alone be true to it, to their party’s basic principles. They cower.
The Democrats, on the other hand, will lie, cheat, and expose their monstrous hypocrisy for all to see while the Republicans quake in their boots and go wobbly for fear of being spoken of negatively by our moonbat lefty pseudo- journos in the media. There are of course a few truly great, courageous Republicans in Congress: Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Doug Collins, Mark Meadows, John Ratcliffe, and Ron Johnson come to mind. Others who we thought would be great — Ted Cruz, Chuck Grassley, Mike Lee, and Tom Cotton — are sitting on their hands as though they are scared to death of bad press.
I am not advocating that the Republicans embrace the
Democrats tactics of cheating, lying, or using strong arm tactics. I am suggesting very strenuously that they
stand up and fight back, something they seem loath to do. The period leading up to the public
impeachment hearings is a perfect example of this.
The faint-of-heart Republicans have decided to be bystanders in the passing parade of democrat chicanery in service to their goal of exorcising Donald Trump. All of this points to the essential difference between left and right.
The Left has no scruples, no allegiance to its constituents. Leftists seek power above all else, and Trump is an impediment to that power. The Republicans want to be nice, always nice. They loathe the confrontation the Left purposefully generates and try to avoid it.
Why did no Republican jump to his feet in a rage when Schiff read his false narrative of Trump’s conversation with Zelensky of Ukraine? Because they are always polite. No Republican would ever bring fried chicken to eat in a House committee hearing room. Not in a million years.
There is hope. During the public
impeachment farce last week several Republicans demonstrated real fighting
spirit and it made quite a difference.
This was noted by the Washington Examiner in this article When
Republicans fight back.
Republicans grew a backbone in the hearing and pushed back against House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff’s impeachment narrative. This is the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from Rep. Jim Jordan, but the fact that Reps. Elise Stefanik and John Ratcliffe also came out swinging speak volumes. These three are all quite different breeds of Republican, but for once, disparate House Republicans all brought the same level of intensity to a high stakes hearing.
Republicans challenged the Left’s narrative not only on the facts but the process as well. They’ve done good work to expose this investigation as the sham impeachment hearing it really is. We haven’t seen this sort of energy and poise from Republicans since the Kavanaugh saga, and we have rarely seen it at all throughout President Trump’s time in office.
For so long, the GOP has been afraid of its shadow. When things get tough, they turn tail and run. We’ve seen it on budget votes, shutdown standoffs, and stunningly, Obamacare — the single issue they railed against for years on the campaign trail but failed to repeal under unified government.
The Republicans really need to build on the uncharacteristic performance that they showed last week. They need to stand up to the Democrats in congress and they absolutely need to stand up to the corrupt and biased liberal media. The Republicans need to learn that any coverage of them will always be negative no matter what they say. They should just say what they believe to be right and say it loudly. It has worked exceptionally well for President Trump.
