What’s With Those 20 Republicans?

Yesterday, I saw a post of FB with yet another Republican parroting the Fear First leadership points of the Establishment Cabal.

• “If we don’t stop fighting, we look bad.”
• “If we don’t stop fighting, the Dems win!”
• “If we don’t stop fighting, we could get someone worse.”

I have another one: if we DO stop fighting, we get business as usual.

And we already know what business as usual looks like:

• funding the J6 Committee
• funding LGBTQ+ in our public schools (and shipping this evil ideology overseas as foreign aid)
• a 1.7 trillion dollar bill that funds programs and nonprofits that reduce our national (and personal) sovereignty in favor of global programs that advance ESG, the Green New Deal, and election interference
• politicians refusing to hold an independent investigative committee to expose the weaponization of our 3-letter federal agencies.
• sealed J6 FULL REPORTS
• no accountability for Fauci et al responsible for their gain of function activity and the lies that led to mass health issues across the world

Our liberties and our way of life is disappearing in our life time as we continue business as usual.

Make no mistake. This fight is the same fight happening all across the country: is the Republican Party going to serve the Establishment Elite in DC or will the Republican Party use its political capital to defend liberty and protect the American people.

The people fighting the McCarthy decision are part of the House Freedom Caucus, with Scott Perry of PA’s 10th District as Chair.

Let’s let Perry represent his side by looking at the deal they offered McCarthy in exchange for their support.

From @RepScottPerry

• “While [McCarthy] claimed to offer fair and equal representation for conservatives on all House committees, when we provided specific names willing to serve on each-as he requested- he balked.
• We asked for firm commitments on concrete policies for the benefit of the American People. When asked to promise votes on (1) a balanced budget, (2) the Fair Tax Act (3) the Texas Border Plan, and (4) term limits for Members of Congress, he refused.
• We requested transparent, accountable votes on individual earmarks that would require two-thirds support to pass, and to ensure that all amendments to cut spending would be allowed floor consideration. He dismissed it.
• We demanded that he cease his efforts to defeat competitive candidates in open Republican primaries. He denied it.
  Kevin McCarthy had the opportunity to be Speaker of the House. He rejected it.”

If anyone tells you the 20 ought to submit, let them know submission isn’t the way forward.

But negotiation, representation, and collaboration can be: when it’s a win for America and the America people.
