Rep Jordan on Spending Bill: ‘The American People Didn’t Elect Democrats to Control Congress (tr)
Breitbart ^ | March 22, 2018 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 03/22/2018 12:05:39 PM PDT by EdnaMode

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” House Freedom Caucus vice chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) slammed GOP leadership for allowing what is predicted to be the passage of a $1.3 trillion spending bill that does not include many of the priorities on which Republicans, including President Donald Trump, campaigned.

Jordan took issue mainly with the funding for Planned Parenthood, restrictions on guns and lack of border wall funding.

“What’s the difference between Democrats and Republicans anymore? “

Republicans recognize that in order to rule and lord it over the people, there must be people.
Democrats just want everybody dead

We’ve lost control of our government. Total breakdown in our constitutional republic.

Rampant corruption permeates, monumental fiscal mismanagement, propaganda, endless kabookie theater, shadow government against the people, electoral shenanigans. Republican or Democrat...they are all peas of the same pod.

It helps to remember that the Clinton-Bush coziness goes back to the days of Iran-Contra, when Papa Bush was supervising covert arms shipments to Latin America out of Arkansas (with drugs making the return trip) and Governor Clinton was busy looking the other way. Further, as was clear during abortive Republican investigations into various Clinton scandals, in the culture of impunity of Washington, politics stops at corruption's edge. Almost all major corruption is either bipartisan or common enough that one side can effectively blackmail the other.

As the bill is read ... I think that would be a "huuuge" mistake. POTUS is going to sacrifice most of his grass roots support if he goes along for the ride. I hope his inner circle is making him aware of that even as we speak.

Here’s one who gets it:

Congressman Daniel Webster — US Representative for Florida District 11

I voted no on the #Omnibus. I ran for Congress pledging to get our fiscal house in order

It’s true that this bill could have been presented under the 0bomb administration.

“We’ve lost control of our government. Total breakdown in our constitutional republic.”

It is irreparably corrupt and illegitimate. The rule of law is dead. There is no pretty or easy way out of this mess.

Take the time to notify the white house of your displeasure.

This is nothing more than a sell out. I ran into a local GOP Pol and he asked my opinion on the coming election. My comment: I don’t see a wall on the southern border, when I do, I will consider voting.

Jordan took issue mainly with the funding for Planned Parenthood, restrictions on guns and lack of border wall funding.

Arguably, the top three reasons both I, and most of his supporters voted for him.
"The Swamp" is just a shortcut to those reasons.

Ultimately, should Trump fail in his mission, I would rather he does so "going down fighting" than not.
Veto the "omnibus" bill.
Shut down the "government" swamp and all its rats!

Over the long term, the results will vindicate him, should he fail. And he would have retained this American Citizen's vote, respect and support.
