The curtain is pulled back. Paula Bolyard is right about the GOP
opposition to [R-establishment] Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker of the House --- the floor fight visibly exposes the Uniparty’s concern for its own power and
wealth – and it has nothing to do with the voters:
As of publishing time, Rep. Kevin
McCarthy (R-Calif.) has lost five six
votes in his bid to be House speaker and there seems to be no end in sight.
There are around 20 Republican holdouts in the “never McCarthy” camp, and
they’re showing no signs of budging.
. . .
Meanwhile, Republican establishment
types are running around with their hair on fire, shouting about unity and
warning that Republicans will pay a steep price unless they can show a united
front in the early days of their House majority.
Hogwash.
One way or another, this will all
be over in a few days and we’ll all go back to binge-watching mindless dramas
on Netflix and planning our Super Bowl parties. A month from now, Rep. Jim
Jordan will be holding hearings that won’t result in any Democrats paying a
price for their treachery during Trump’s presidency, the House will once again
be spending money like drunken sailors, and Congress will continue to get next
to nothing useful done for the American people. Lather, rinse, repeat. Delaying
the start of the congressional session by a few days, or even a month, won’t
matter one iota. By the time the 2024 election rolls around, no one will care
that there was a protracted fight for House speaker in early 2023.
. . .
What we’re witnessing now is the
messy, glorious republican form of government our Founding Fathers laid out in
the Constitution. Many Americans are tired of the Uniparty that exuberantly
passes pork-laden omnibus spending bills in the dead of night and plays by
Marquess of Queensberry Rules as our country plunges toward insolvency,
immorality, and anarchy.
While establishment Republicans
like Kevin McCarthy and Ronna McDaniel would like to keep the party’s dirty
laundry hidden, the American people deserve to know how the sausage is being
made. We need to know what’s being promised to Republicans who vote for
McCarthy. There are rumors that he may try to bring Democrats over to his side,
and Marcy Kaptur of Ohio is reportedly trying to cut a deal with him, which
only increases distrust within the caucus.
And Ms Bolyard points out toward the end of the article:
But no matter what happens, the
beauty is in the process. . . . enjoy the process, and thank God that you live
in a country where we settle these things with words and not guns.
