We need this Lyons guy to be brought up to DC. He’s got potential.

“at which point House leadership realized he was running out the clock and there wasn’t enough time before the midnight deadline to pass both the bill “

and he’s only one Republican politician with balls in a blue state. Balls and smart.

He gave them a shove when they just wanted a nudge.

On the original “Saturday Night Live” this would have made a great skit. But they’re to politically correct to be funny now.

Republicans in Massachusetts have good ideas sometimes.

A few years back, when a Republican governor lowered the state tax rate, the Democrats howled about how the women and children would be harmed as a result.

So on the state tax form the next year, there was a checkbox to pay the higher tax rate so that the liberals could put their money where their mouths were.

Guess what? Out of about 5 million tax returns, only about 1,200 actually chose to pay at the higher rate - or about .00024% of the total!

The Democrats shut up about the lowered tax rate after that.

Many times, when the PC crap is shoved back in their faces or they are confronted, they back down.

The Right just has to keep it up and never give an inch.

He's on the right.

Bravo, bravo. Hip! Hip! Hurray!

Gotta love relentless application of logic.

But while winning the skirmish is great, we gotta keep our eye on the long game. There will come more battles of this sort.

"Six hours in, Lyons had only filed 35 of the amendments, at which point House leadership realized he was running out the clock and there wasn’t enough time before the midnight deadline to pass both the bill and the other legislation on the docket. At 10:45 p.m., they withdrew the bill."

Great pro-life conservative.

He has a “clubhouse” - a converted barn next to his home, where he hosts various events. Early in the election cycle, he hosted Ted Cruz.

Strangely, he came out in support of Baker (D. MA) for gov, where his ideology would be more in line with Lively (R. MA).

Sometimes all it takes is one man with balls and the will to use them.

Apologies to the ladies in the forum.
