If You Think a GOP Senate Will Change Anything, You’re on Crack . . . & Here’s Why
Don’t get too excited about the impending likely takeover of the U.S. Senate by Republicans. If you think anything will change . . . or get better, you’re on crack.
For the last two or three months, we’ve been treated to endless non-stop stories about the favorable chances of the GOP taking the Senate. Those stories and the predictions and ever-rising percentage likelihoods of a Senate GOP-opcracy have reached a fevered pitch, with gleeful Repubs and pseudo-conservative hacks all over the broadcast and cable news shows predicting the party of the elephants storming the Senate Majority leader position.
But here’s a tip: nothing will change. The likely Senate Majority leader will be Mitch McConnell. He’s no conservative. He stands on a foundation of pork and corporate welfare and amnesty for illegal aliens. While he wasn’t one of the “Gang of Eight” Senators who proposed amnesty for illegal aliens, he was their pimp, praising them and their bill and supporting it to the hilt. And guess what? That won’t change when he becomes Senate Majority Leader. It will only get worse. Ya think they’ll make our borders safer or tighter? Ha. Dream on, fantasists. Several of the likely GOP winners tomorrow, such as Colorado’s Cory Gardner have undergone extremist makeovers, repackaging themselves as supporters of “comprehensive immigration reform.” Ditto for Texas U.S. Senator John Cornyn, long pretending to be a secure borders guy (but I told you he was a fraud, and now I’m borne out). Don’t mess with Texas? PUH-LEEZE. The guy Texas elected is messing with it so much that ultimately there won’t be a Texas, just Mexas. Yeah, ‘cuz amnesty is really what we need in the age of ISIS, which is the remade Al-Qaeda we never defeated. Doesn’t matter, as the GOP is committed to give us that (and maybe ensure they will never control the U.S. Senate again).
Do you really believe Senate Republicans will do a thing to stop ObamaCare, to repeal it? Really? What do you predict they’ll do? Do you think they’ll just end it? Do you think they’ll repeal even parts of it? Here’s a tip: they won’t do anything. They didn’t do much before. They’ll do even less now. And because of that, ObamaCare and the destruction of the American healthcare system is here to stay. Ya know those clinics for impoverished inner city crackheads where they wait all day to see a doctor and months for MRIs and surgeries? Well, now, you, too, will ultimately have this fabulous experience. Mitchy and the gang won’t stop it from happening. It’s already happening, and they will go along, just as they always have.
And will Mitch McConnell and the GOP majority stop any of Obama’s far-left appointees? Nope. When Obama announces an Attorney General nominee as bad as Eric Holder or worse, will they stop him or her? Nope. Did they stop Holder? Did they make any attempt to stop most of Obama’s judicial activist appointees including Justice J-Lo, the Sotomayor chick who begs Oprah to get her a date? Nope. They didn’t stop her. Not even a pretense at a try. Ditto for that lesbionic-looking radical chick, Kagan. Don’t look for the GOP to do an about face and give Obama a hard time for the last two of his eight years. Ain’t gonna happen. Not even close. Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama are mutual backslappers, NOT adversaries, despite their verbal kabuki dance. Talk is cheap.
And will the GOP cut spending, cut corporate welfare, cut funding of stupid “scientific studies” to see if people identify with dogs as much as babies? Will they cut taxes? Will they do a single thing that is in the spirit of conservative principles, primary among them limited Constitutional government? Again, no. No, they won’t.
Will McConnell and his caucus of the congenital GOP restore our military and fix the cuts in size it has suffered, to the point that we are wholly unprepared as a fighting force? Nope. Why should they? They didn’t exactly oppose these cuts when they happened.
So, while you may think Mitch McConnell running the Senate is better than Harry Reid running it, just how much better is it? What will change?
Please tell me because I’m just not as excited as you. In fact, I just really couldn’t care less. Having an initial R after leadership positions in the Senate does little to enthuse me, especially if the R is basically just as liberal and disastrous, but only to a barely visible lesser degree. If “better than Harry Reid” is all you demand, you’ll never get more than just a microscopic scintilla better.
The only exciting, gutsy, courageous GOP Senator is Ted Cruz. And he is hated by McConnell and the gang. They will do whatever they can to stop him and thwart all of his attempts at good. There aren’t any others like Cruz in the Senate. He is the lone voice of light there. And, sadly, that won’t change with tomorrow night’s results. The GOP Senators are mostly far more like McConnell than Cruz. Far more like Obama than Cruz.
And that, ladies and gentleman, is a preview of the GOP-“led” U.S. Senate over the next two years.
Yes, the GOP will probably win. But, so what?!
If you think it actually means anything, Mitch McConman is laughing at you all the way to the cushy Majority Leader’s office.
Yes, Cruz is better, but in the end, I don’t think he will rock the boat.
One of the most disgusting displays I have seen this election campaign is the journey of all the Republicans to Kansas to support ultra-hack Pat Roberts. Cruz was among them. Roberts has made ‘abortion’ the focus of his ‘conservatism’ because he knows that no action will be contemplated in the Senate on this issue. A safe form of do-nothing conservatism.
The other rationalization for the Republicans, made by Limbaugh and others is that the Republicans do have conservative instincts but are ‘intimidated’ by the Dems. They have to get over their ‘cowardice’. And of course, the real problem, as the post said, as that they really don’t disagree on fundamental issues with the Dems.
Cut spending? Cut pork? Nope.
Advocate the bombing of Iran? Nope.
And on and on and on.
