Just my personal opinion, but there are less than a two dozen legislators in the US House of Representative who honestly give a damn about We The People.
Again, just my opinion, but I think these same present-day patriots are the type of Americans that our Founding Fathers had in mind when things got tough.
James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and numerous others who either actually wrote or were influential on the Constitution actually had protecting the rights of Americans as well as true representation in mind when they penned such.
But as time went by and America turned into a world superpower, many institutions of our federal government turned into nameless, faceless bureaucracies.
The last two years of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Cal) being the minority party leader in the House would be a perfect example.
- Where was McCarthy when Nancy Pelosi dismissed Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jim Banks (R-Ind) from the Jan. 6th select committee, thereby ensuring that that only rabid anti-Trumpers would participate in this farce?
- Where was McCarthy when Nancy Pelosi booted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from any and all committees and sub-committees?
- Where was McCarthy when it was time to debate a $1.7 trillion pork-laden federal budget?
- Where was McCarthy when it was time to debate the $45 billion give-away to Ukraine?
- Why was McCarthy rubbing elbows at a White House dinner with both Joe and Hunter Biden?
- Why Does McCarthy dump millions of dollars into congressional races that are a slam dunks for Republicans, but ignores races that are toss-ups?
The list goes on.
Bottom line, Kevin McCarthy isn’t part of the solution… he’s part of the problem.
Many of us correctly held our intra-party rhetorical fire into the general election.
But now, it’s time for tough decisions. @GOPLeader should not be Speaker — he represents corporatist interests and bows to the demands of Big Pharma and Big Tech.https://t.co/OooFc6mSVw
