Corker's final shot at Trump
American Thinker ^ | 11/30/18 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 11/30/2018 9:35:26 AM PST by Pining_4_TX

Is outgoing Sen. Bob Corker trying to outdo Sen. Jeff Flake in blowing up the joint for President Trump on the way out?

Sure looks like it. How else to explain the nevertrump GOP Senator's obnoxious last act of sneaking in a rider to embed the Obama administration political holdovers in the U.S. broadcasting apparatus (which includes Voice of America) into a critical budget bill?

These people will stop at nothing to destroy Trump. Corker is beneath contempt.

Trump should sign nothing that isn’t a clean bill. This BS must stop!

Corker is the result of voting for the lesser evil.

100% correct.

Graham and Alexander are up in 2020 and MUST be replaced if we want to keep our country.

And President Hillary would have been the result of not voting for the lesser evil.

That is true. I think many do vote R because its the only alternative other than not voting at all.

However, we do need to vote more often on the basis of action and results instead of letting posturing, promises, and empty talk persuade us. Most politicians are professional liars and seem to get better with it the longer they are in office. Its up to us to make sure the deceivers are not allowed to to to or stay on Capitol Hill.

I wasn’t saying that we should not have voted for him, but the State GOP has a habit of setting things up so the RINOs win. Once he won the primary, there was no good choice, just the lesser evil one.

Still better than the greater evil. You take what you can get. But it’s a shame.

My wife is from Albania and our family spent last Christmas there with her parents. They were watching VOA News. There was a crawl on the lower third that read: “Pregnant? Need help?” It then listed a pregnancy care center in Tirana. Imagine: official US foreign policy that doesn’t encourage other countries to “off” their offspring? Thank God for DJT. And thank God that the RINOs are showing their true colors (blue).

I used to listen to VOA when I could tune it in late at night floating in the Gulf of Tonkin. Some of the broadcasts were in English and I assume they were targeting Hong Kong and Taiwan offering decent music and inspirational messages. This was in the ‘60’s.

As others have pointed out, the primaries are where we need to make our stand for purity. The general election is too late to take a principled stand and we must then play the hand that we have as "sitting home" accomplishes nothing good. That's why I voted Romney in 2012 and McCain in 2008 (which makes me want to throw up thinking about it).

The problem is, the turnouts for primaries are pathetic and the establishment will often run one or more "ringer" candidates to further split the non-establishment vote to help ensure that their annointed one wins.

This would be cured overnight if everybody screaming for pure conservatives were to come out in force during the primary election and back the right guy. But all to often, they are sitting home at the very time their vote matters most.

Sorry. I was just pointing out that voting for the lesser evil also comes with its own down side. It is usually less unpalatable than voting for the greater evil. The Party did run ringers to split the non-Corker vote.
