Why NOT to vote Republican

[frugal-one]

Amazingly, the list of reasons is growing. It is depressing to see the lies, debauchery and grab for power. What is so surprising is people are looking the other way because they don't want to see. It is now party over country. I just hope there is a wake up call soon.

Republicans are scraping the bottom of the barrel for candidates, witness Lauren Boebert.

I've lived in two towns in Boeberts third district and her election or possible re-election has been a mystery to me. It's rural western farms and ranch with a few rust belt type towns and a couple of mountain resorts. Pretty much a piece of some of America without many radical contingents. At least one theory is that people don't care if their candidate looks up skirts, or lies about abortions, or thinks Brad Pitt is from planet Claire. They assume they will tow the party line just like all good republicans. Well, except Liz Cheney. I googled republican platform and it's pretty basic and nothing new.

Some of the old republicans are THE bottom of the barrel... donald trump loyalist... “the worst Wisconsin political representative since the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy.”

Johnson is not touting a long record of accomplishments in his ads for re-election,” the board wrote. “Instead, he and his supporters have attacked his opponent — a Black man — as ‘different’ and ‘dangerous.’”

“Johnson in the past promised to serve no more than two terms,” the board concluded. “Voters should hold him to that pledge in November.”

Leading by six points as of yesterday!

Haven’t you figured it out yet? Being a racist asshole who helps try to overthrow the government is a feature for Republican politicians to utilize. Their voters are proud to explain their support for such people. They enjoy pretending to be butthurt when people call them out for being shitty Americans.

Disgusting to hear at the hearings today that over 300 republicans who are election deniers are running for office or in office. The committee today has proven again that trump knew he lost but still these fools prevail. trump is to be subpoenaed. We all know he will fight tooth and nail. "While the effort to subpoena trump may languish, more a nod to history than an effective summons, the committee has made clear it is considering whether to send its findings in a criminal referral to the Justice Department." IMO trump should be treated harsher than the "850 people who have been charged by the Justice Department, some receiving lengthy prison sentences for their roles. Several leaders and associates of the extremist Oath Keepers and Proud Boys have been charged with sedition."

The House panel warned that the insurrection at the Capitol was not an isolated incident but a warning of the fragility of the nation’s democracy in the post-Trump era. The thought of republicans winning the upcoming elections is terrifying. Their purpose is to remain in power no matter what the cost and to continue taking away rights of the people.... abortion is just the start. GOP is talking about voting to reduce or eliminate medicare and social security.... PLUS!

The GOP is the party of sedition.

The GOP is the party of sedition.

Oh, please.

[early morning]

Well if you don't believe the current leading GOP heads are seditionists, IL, then how, exactly, would you characterize a seditionist? Merriam Webster defines sedition as: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority. It seems very clear to me. Supporting those who tried to overthrow the government, and who believe DT should be in power, elected or not, are seditionists.

“Current leading GOP heads” is a broad brush.

See, I can do that too:

Perhaps you prefer the quietly sinister method of Joe Biden in usurping political power by his several sweeping actions that clearly fall outside of his legal authority to act.

Big, loud seditionists or all powerful sneaky sneaks— I prefer the stupidity to be openly advertised. Our legacy media does a bangup job in promoting the former, too bad we cannot count on them to expose the latter.
