George Will: Vote against GOP in midterms
The Hill ^ | 06/22/18 | Justin Wise

Posted on 06/22/2018 2:57:01 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Conservative columnist George Will is making the argument to vote against Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

In a piece published Friday in the Washington Post, Will says that President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy at the border was "the most telegenic example of misrule" and it provided “fresh if redundant evidence for the principle by which” independents and moderate Republicans should vote.

That principle he says is that the number of Republicans in office must be “substantially reduced.”

"The principle: The congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced. So substantially that their remnants, reduced to minorities, will be stripped of the Constitution’s Article I powers that they have been too invertebrate to use against the current wielder of Article II powers," Will wrote. "They will then have leisure time to wonder why they worked so hard to achieve membership in a legislature whose unexercised muscles have atrophied because of people like them."

Will targets House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and many other Republican lawmakers for serving as the "president’s poodles."

"Not because James Madison’s system has failed but because today’s abject careerists have failed to be worthy of it," Will added. "Congressional Republicans (congressional Democrats are equally supine toward Democratic presidents) have no higher ambition than to placate this president."

ETC...

George Will is a Mainstream Media Paid-for ASS.

Congrats, George. You’ll go down in history as ... oh, wait. Not a damn thing.

I just realized that George Will appeared on Bill Maher.

LOL! Going on Maher proves your importance has one foot in the shitter.

Congrats, George! You’ll soon be doing speeches at Old Folks Homes who think you’re still a Republican!

This is not politics as usual,

President Trump has exposed all the politicians and MSM and career DC swamp dwellers for their absolute phoniness,

How obvious is it today when we see a replay of a speech from one of the NWO Bush’s, corrupt Clinton’s or that demonic evil Obama carcass and their all reading off carefully scripted words someone else wrote and we all knew they were lying and didn’t believe a word of it themselves. And yet we all collectedly pretended there was some wit or profound wisdom being presented, President Trump speaks directly and they all mock him for it,

I wish it was just all philosophical disagreements, even profound ones, but its not, its much more than that and its increasing right in front of us, a perverse, wicked, self loathing reprobate generation,

This is not a battle against flesh and blood,

Every day we see more and more of these evil people being exposed for who and what they truly are and who it is they serve,

Satan gives them their seat and power and great authority even if they dont understand it themselves, they serve him and they get rewarded in this world, that vile McCain is hanging on for his piece for as long as he can,

George is just trying to get in bed with McCain before it is too late.

Will is a turd that should have been flushed long ago.

<<>>

Unfortunately he, like McCain, is a ‘floater’ that won’t go down.

Conservative columnist George Will...

The first 2 words of this article is a blatant lie. It doesn't get any better after that.

George Will declokes to the world and shows us he is with Emperor Palpatine and the stinking Globalists.

Many Patriots knew this for a long time now.

It’s pseudo intellectual quislings like George Will that have tried for decades to destroy our Republic.

Thank God for President Trump.

This is just spite on the part of George Will (or maybe, “Will-not”). If the Republican is not elected, there are very few alternatives than to either not vote, or vote for the Democrat, and the Democrats have a four-part agenda.

Impeach Trump.
Block the construction of The Wall forever, and maintain a perpetually open border.
Raise taxes, supposedly just on “the rich” but effectively on everybody but those on the government dole.
Reinstate the regulations so blithely abolished by Trump.

And maybe a fifth one - outlaw conservative action and thought everywhere it breaks out.

He’s gone batshit crazy.

His real enemy is not Trump, the GOP, or the Tea Party. His real enemy is God.

"I'm an atheist. An agnostic is someone who is not sure. I'm pretty sure. I see no evidence of God."

George Will

Will has fought his battle with God for decades, it's just been far below the radar. When you hear him speak, the only thing he seemed to worship was the Alex Hamilton, baseball, and his own ego.

He has completely rejected the Almighty. He is angry at God that his son was born with Down Syndrome. He is angry at anyone who professes a belief in Christ.

Does anyone else think that Will is trying to prop up Paul Ryan in this piece, by calling him Trump’s poodle? He’s clearly the globalists poodle, not Trump’s, and Ryan clearly needs to go. Not sure what the effect of doing that before November would be, but Ryan is NOT a friend and allowing him to remain in high office allows him to keep the levers of power and to continue to anger the American people by betraying them.

Hey George. A Charles Krauthammer you ain’t. You weak SOB.

Actually, the two are very much alike. Both suffer (or suffered) from Trump derangement syndrome. One election night, Krauthammer predicted that Hillary would win and then mocked Bill O’Reilly because O’Reilly suggested there was still a “chance” for Trump to win in Florida (which is priceless, because when they return from the panel they announce that Trump has pulled ahead in that state!).

So obviously a Never-Trump Lib backer he needs to change his name to “George Won’t”....

The only one reading Will’s columns these days are Never Trumpers or I-Told-You-So liberals. Like McCain and Flake, he has proven himself to be a useful idiot.

Never knew that about George Will. But it makes complete sense.

No wonder he is like he is.

Boy, is he in for a surprise.

I would prefer a foreign policy which removes us from most of the world, a halt to immigration legal and illegal, robust trade and a strong domestic agenda.

We need so many things repaired in this country and it is time to focus on US and OUR people.
