House GOP Setting the Stage for Massive Crony Capitalist Pay Backs in a Lame Duck
House Republicans are preparing a continuing resolution to keep the government open. In doing so, they’ve decided to be total sluts for K Street and Wall Street. The Crony Capitalists, emboldened by the Chamber of Commerce’s help during primary season, are doing some very unusual things.
Here’s what I hear is happening.
First, they will reauthorize the Ex-Im bank, which is something K Street is desperate to see happen.
Second, current reports are that they will spend more than the original Paul Ryan — Patti Murray deal that had included a tax hike. However, that is subject to change.
Third, and probably most significantly, they will make sure the continuing resolution expires after the election, but before January. That will free them up to go back for a lame duck session where outgoing members can use their votes to pass amnesty, tax increases, and further extend the Ex-Im bank.
Essentially, just as the Democrats used retiring members of Congress to pass Obamacare since they no longer had to worry about being accountable to voters, Republicans are going to use their members on the other side of an election and no longer accountable to voters to increase federal spending, collaborate on amnesty, and prepare a grab bag of pork fill requests for K Street.
Get ready. It’s coming.
So what is the point in voting for them if they are going to do as the Democrats do?
The UniParty Oligarchy is germane to the problem and there is no fixing what ails this country by working within this system they have corrupted for themselves.
(1) The GOP will not win the Senate.
(2) The GOP will lose House seats and cling to a bare majority.
I’ll take my chances and deal with republicans because I know the democrats are far worse and nothing but full on fascists who will kill us if given half a chance.
The GOP leadership are made of the same. They simply like to wear wool and blend in.
They hate us as much as the Democrat MarxoFascists do.
After all, it was our own so-called ‘leader’ who vowed to ‘Crush us” wherever he found us in the effort to make sure Conservatives did not have a single candidate in the General Election.
With a party like that, who needs enemies?
Look how they are governing when there is no threat to their control!
Tie your own noose, that’ll teach em.
There are few, if any, solutions to this.
However, a tyrant will rule my corpse before he rules me.
But that isn’t the first route I would travel.
Well said!
While GOPe makes me unhappy, democrats are far worse. There are no alternatives right now, so I don’t plan to be a fool and stay home.
I do not like Erickson because he spends more time hating GOP than he does democrats.
Or vote your own noose by voting for those who declared war on you and vowed to crush you and make sure you never have a candidate for office in a general election.
I remember what they did at the Convention with the Rules Change.
Who is hanging who exactly?
“(1) The GOP will not win the Senate.”
I’m with you. The Republicans with their liberal tendencies will manage to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Again....
You don’t even know who my candidates are and you still flap your gums because you clearly want to keep democrats in power.
The information Erickson just brought to light showcases the absolute imbecility of that line of thinking.
You are NEVER going to "whip them into shape".
Do the insane ever recognize they are practicing insanity?
I think not. They will insist the rest of us practice insanity too.
As Erickson illustrates - it MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHICH PARTY IS IN POWER. The Ruling Class are going to act the same way, one party not moving as fast as the other -but the destination is the same.
We need Conservatives in power, NOT Republicans, and the GOP is as corrupted as the Democrats.
Of course. As long as it is GOPe’s paying off their fat cats
instead of the Democrats paying off their fat cats, that is all
that matters.
And you’re going to whip the democrats into shape?
So letting the nazi party consolidate power even further helps put conservatives in power how?
I don’t even think you get it.
We are not talking about democrats.
The article is about the GOP in the house passing bills in a lame duck
session to pay back their fat cats and K-Street.
And they are going to hide it in a CR bill.
Does that not raise red flags for you?
“Exactly, I’d rather vote for some imperfect candidates and whip them into shape than allow the nazi party continue to grow and consolidate power. Look at the damage the democrats have managed to do just holding the White house and senate. “
AMEN!!!
We need to keep the R’s we elect accountable; and let them know we expect them to uphold the principles of limited government and personal and economic freedom.
If they don’t comply; then we get out the pitchforks and torches.
But we cant sit on our butts and stay just because they aren’t conservative enough. Silence is consent as the saying goes. Not voting is giving consent to whoever wins.
I don’t think you get it either.
This article is not about the election.
This article is about the GOP House Majority hiding additional
crony benefits during a lame duck session of congress in the CR
Bill. Outgoing members of the GOP house will stick it to American
Taxpayers on their way out.
And this does not bother you?
