Let’s see: when Democrats criticize Democrats, and even threaten to split off, it’s because they want to move their party further into Modern Socialism. When Republicans criticize Republicans, it’s because they want the GOP to….move more towards Modern Socialism? How else can we deem “moderate”? Trump surely may have been Mr. Mean Tweets and could have used a governor on his mouth and Twitter account, but, most of the things he did were good for American Conservatism. Why do we listen to the squishes claiming to be Republicans? Why do we care if these idiots split off?
More than 100 Republican former officials to seek reforms, threaten new party
More than 100 influential Republicans plan to release a call for reforms within the GOP alongside a threat to form a new party if change isn’t forthcoming, a person familiar with the effort said.
The statement, set to be released Thursday, involves a “Call for American Renewal,” a credo that declares that it is imperative to “either reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.” The push will include 13 yet-to-be-revealed principles that the signatories want the GOP to embrace.
Oh, the principles should be interesting when revealed. Will it include attempting to limit the control of citizens by the federal government? How about reducing federal regulations? Promote State’s Rights? Limit abortion on demand? Protect women from having to compete against biological males with mental health issues? Keep federal taxes low? Stop illegal immigration and limit legal immigration to protect Americans and keep jobs for Americans? Balance trade with other nations to give America a level playing field? Support our ally Israel? Make America energy independent? Upholding religious liberty? Opposing the constant spread of limiting free speech? America First? You know, all those things Donald J. Trump was wanting and doing? And more?
This is not the first group to form as the pro-Trump and traditional conservative factions of the Republican Party remain at loggerheads. The new effort comes as a vote looms to oust Liz Cheney of Wyoming from the No. 3 House Republican leadership post for her refusal to stay silent about former President Donald Trump’s repeated election lies and his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
She’s unhinged and keeps throwing Republicans under the bus, which helps Democrats. If she was at a private company and kept throwing the company under the bus they’d remove her from her leadership position and promote her to customer.
The move was first reported by Reuters, which cited some of the people involved: former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, the former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, the first secretary of homeland security; former Transportation Secretary Mary Peters; and former GOP Reps. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Reid Ribble of Wisconsin and Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma. Evan McMullin, a former CIA agent who ran for president as an independent in 2016, is also involved.
So, complete and utter squishes. This is the Jennifer Rubin wing, the John Kasich wing, the Bob Inglis wing. The wing of Republicans who endorsed a far left guy like Joe Biden. This is the Thomas E. Dewey wing. Huh what? Did you know that Dewey “did not oppose Roosevelt’s New Deal programs altogether, but merely campaigned on the promise that Republicans would run them more efficiently and less corruptly.” These people might as well be Democrats. This is what they consider “moderate”. We could call them JFK Republicans, since Democrats would not accept JFK these days they’ve moved so far to the left.
One of the organizers is Miles Taylor, a former Trump official who, as “Anonymous,” wrote an op-ed in The New York Times blasting the Trump administration in 2018.
“We’re going give the GOP one last chance to get its act together and moderate, but we’re not going to hold our breath,” Taylor told NBC News. “We’re ready to get out there and fight against the radical elements in the party to try to excise those elements from within the GOP and our national politics and to try to invest in the deeper pro-democracy bench.”
Right, right, the “radicals” espousing Classical Liberalism (which is what American Conservatives are), Federalism, State’s Rights, Freedom, and America First. The principles of John Locke, as applied to America and our version of a federal republic. Trump really, truly broke these people.
Teach describes those who do not support the former president as unhinged. Cult.
One issue – unwaveringly loyalty to trump – defines the QOP.
Again Rimjob, dipshit that he is, calls others unhinged and a cult yet totally ignores BLM/Antifa.
Clueless that one.
#BelieveTheLie
Bwaha! Lolgf
NB – BLM has not tried to overthrow the US government. The tRumpublican Party tried to overthrow the US government and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. It surprises decent Americans that our democracy is so vulnerable.
It’s not a Big Lie, it is a rebellion triggered by a petulant criminal. It’s sad that over 70 million Americans support this charlatan.
As the former GOP increasingly descends into ignorance and violence becoming the party of Proud Boys, neoNazis, white nationalism, willful ignorance, authoritarianism,
BTW, both Teach and his lap puppy are dipshits.
Teach is a bigly member of the personality cult of Trump
So supporting arguably one of the best Presidents of our lifetime is a “personality cult of Trump” but supporting a usurper who cheated his senile decrepit way into power with his whore assistant is just regular politics to you guys?
Wow, you fools are getting less and less self aware by the hour.
We are living in a crumbling republic and you are the ones destroying it.
Are you better off now than you were on Jan. 20th? hahahahaha. You guys are a deluded bunch of pathetic liars and criminals all being led by a senile fascist and his commie entourage.
President Biden and Vice President Harris won the election. They won the popular vote by some 8 million, and the electoral college by a large margin.
tRump and his stripper wife are no longer infesting our White House.
It was tRump supporters who stormed the US Capitol in an effort to overturn the election.
Is America better off now than on Jan 20? Yes, bigly.
Election stolen, country going down the tube.
tRumpublican-led insurrection and failed rebellion, country attempting to heal despite tRumpublicans.
Our esteemed host quoted:
Are they that influential?
What Donald Trump, certainly one of the wealthy elite himself, was to pull control of the GOP away from the wealthy elite and to the voters, who liked and accepted his populist message, and who don’t seem particularly inclined to abandon it again. The GOP candidates all see this, and you’ll see most of them running as populist candidates, because that’s what the voters want.
I shit canned the Republican Party the day Jello brain Joe was sworn in. Their spineless actions in regards to President Donald J. Trump left me cold. If they eventually begin to use their spine ( and grow some balls) I’ll be back.
If all the squishes leave the party, then maybe the party will be worth joining again.
