Republican Party Hypocrites

In the world of illusion vs. reality, not much tops the ‘revealing truth’ of the Republican Party today.

No illusions from the Democrat Party, however, it is in our face with reality.

The hijacked Democrat Party leadership transformed by extreme socialists clinging to the moniker of progressivism, are now progressively associating with the likes of the Triangle People’s Assembly, Workers World Party, Industrial Workers of the World, Democratic Socialists of America, and the Antifa movement being ginned up by the legions of Organizing for Americapaid agitators orchestrated by Obama and Soros.

I feel sorry for the good people who are the party faithful, blindly clinging to loyalty to satisfy their consciences.

OVERWHELMING RINOs

RINO: ‘Republicans In Name Only,’ the party’s hypocrites.

‘The revealing truth’ of the GOP today is that it has a fine, patriotic party platform that may as well not exist. Winning GOP candidates who convinced us they are the patriots who would fight to support President Trump’s campaign to restore America by repealing Obamacare, reducing taxes, regulations and the size of the overwhelming federal government who have wound up becoming RINOs are the biggest Republican Party disappointments of our time.

It matters not what politicians say or how nice they appear. It is always! only about how they vote and these days that also includes ‘that’ they vote!!!

The RINOs hypocrisy might be more upsetting than the upfront nonsensical, deceitful and fatalistic aspects of the socialism exuding from the Democrats, because how can we fight if our poker-faced elected representatives we picked to clean up the mess are betraying us?

A lot of blame can be focused on leadership, but why would a bunch of patriots stand by and let the officers of a fantastic ship named America be steered intentionally adrift with no fuel, or rudder control with possibly a hurricane coming? It’s time for Congressional mutiny! The establishment’s obstructionist puppets Ryan and McConnell must go, and we should be recalling the RINO members of Congress that share the blame.

RINOs DON’T FOLLOW THE PARTY PLATFORM IN D.C.

The average voting record for both parties with our Constitution for the House of Representatives is 41% and in the Senate a paltry 35% as is tracked by The John Birch Society’s The New American.com Voting Index. Going to the index and seeing how many low scores and extremely low scores there are will tick you off and might even make you sick.

“The Freedom Index: A Congressional Scorecard Based on the U.S. Constitution” rates congressmen based on their adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements. The percentages are cumulative scores based on key votes from 1999 to the first part of 2017. Go to the Freedom Index and click on a senator’s or representative’s name to get a detailed breakdown of his or her voting record.

What we are getting from most of the Washington GOP RINOs is a mindset that the Republican Party’s Platform is irrelevant. Those words being ignored include the following standards in the PREAMBLE TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM:

  • We believe the Constitution was written not as a flexible document, but as our enduring covenant.
  • We believe our constitutional system — limited government, separation of powers, federalism, and the rights of the people — must be preserved uncompromised for future generations.
  • When political freedom and economic freedom are separated — both are in peril; when united, they are invincible.
  • We believe that people are the ultimate resource — and that the people, not the government, are the best stewards of our country’s God-given natural resources.
  • This means removing the power from unelected, unaccountable government.
  • This means relieving the burden and expense of punishing government regulations.
  • And this means returning to the people and the states the control that belongs to them. It is the control and the power to make their own decisions about what’s best for themselves and their families and communities.
  • This platform is many things: A handbook for returning decision-making to the people. A guide to the constitutional rights of every American. And a manual for the kind of sustained growth that will bring opportunity to all those on the sidelines of our society.

Either these RINOs don’t read or don’t give a damn when there is money to be made or power to be gotten for following amoral leadership.

IDAHO: ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS NATIONALLY

Idaho’s Senators and Congressmen (Republicans all) in Washington may not be perfect, but considering that both houses together average a voting record with the U.S. Constitution of only 38%, our guys have consistently been in first place among the 50 states with an Idaho state average record currently of 68%. Their average has been held down most often by Congressman Simpson, this time with an index of 54%, and this time also, Senator Crapo dropped to 68%. In this most recent 6 month index for the 115th Congress, Congressman Labrador was 89% and Senator Risch was 80%.

Although these voting records deserve some criticism, the fact that this is as ‘good’ as it is currently, is a sad commentary, when you consider that these are the best state voting records in the U.S. Congress.

Throwing them all out is not the answer because we sorely need solid Republicans with strong voting records such as: KY Sen. Rand Paul – 93%, UT Sen. Mike Lee – 92%, ID Dist.1: Raul Labrador – 89%, CA Dist.4: Tom McClintock – 85%, FL Dist.8: Bill Posey – 85%, SC Dist.1: Marshall Sanford – 83%, Dist.7: David Brat – 82%, TX Sen. Ted Cruz – 82%, SC Dist.3: Jeff Duncan – 81%, OK Dist.1: Jim Bridenstine – 80%, FL Dist.1: Matt Gaetz – 80%, NC Dist.3: Walter Jones – 80%, AZ Dist.5: Andy Biggs – 80, and VA Dist.5: Thomas Garrett – 80%.

DISAPPOINTING RINOs IN BOISE

The Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) also produces a voting index also called the Freedom Index which is measured against their 2017 Idaho Freedom Index Rating Metric. Their report on the most recent Idaho session in the House of Representatives averaged 45.96% and in the Senate at 31.91%. Also, paltry.

Similarly here in the state of Idaho, the following standards are being ignored in the PREAMBLE TO THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM:

  • We believe the strength of our nation lies with our faith and reliance on God our Creator, the individual, and the family, and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
  • We believe the United States Constitution is the greatest and most inspired document to govern a nation, and the republican form of government it gives us is the best guarantor of freedom in history.
  • We believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation and state opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
  • We believe government must practice fiscal responsibility, and that taxpayers should allow the government only the money necessary to provide appropriate functions.
  • We believe that our Founding Fathers gave us a government that is a servant of the people not our master and the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations.
  • We believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people and the sovereignty of the state must be protected. That government is best that governs least.
  • We believe that the rights of individuals can only be maintained by exercising personal responsibility for behavior.

NORTH IDAHO: VOTING RECORDS THAT EXCEL

North Idaho’s Senators and Representatives, Republicans all, (in the top 3 districts, Districts 1,2, and 3) in the Idaho statehouse may not be perfect either, but considering that both houses together average a voting record with IFF’s 2017 Idaho Freedom Index Rating Metric of only 38.935%, we are very proud of our large concentration of strong voting records at the Boise statehouse where once bills come out of committee machines they are generally, systematically rubberstamped at the behest of the party leadership.

Bucking the crony leadership and following the Party Platform quite well as reflected in their voting records are: Rep. Heather Scott – Dist. 1, 99.3%; Rep. Sage Dixon – Dist. 1, 89.7%; Sen. Steve Vick – Dist. 2, 90.8%; Rep. Don Cheatham – Dist. 3, 91.3%; Rep. Ron Mendive – Dist. 3, 93.7% and Sen. Bob Nonini – Dist. 3, 93.1%

North Idaho’s concentration of high voting indexes average 92.98%. Again, not perfect but against a state average of 38.935%, we’ll keep ’em and cherish them and keep electing them.

Understanding that everything is local, and it all starts with central committees, acknowledgement should be paid to our local Kootenai County Central Committee’s stellar performance in following the party platform and aggressively projecting the party principles, planning and accomplishments in events such as the Lincoln Day Dinner and participation in the 4th of July Parade and the NI State Fair. It should be noted that their chairman, Brent Regan, is also the chairman of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, so it’s no wonder they are steeped in Constitutional and conservative values.

It is interesting that 3 Republicans in North Idaho with poor voting records are not running next time. Sen. Shawn Keough – Dist. 1, 45.5% and Rep. Eric Redman – Dist. 2, 49.7% are quitting for whatever reasons. Rep. Luke Malek – Dist. 4, 42.3% is dropping out to run, as some believe to be a spoiler candidate, for Raul Labrador’s vacated Congressional District 1 seat in Washington against former Senator Russ Fulcher.

The other 49 states and the rest of Idaho should follow north Idaho’s performance in turning out elected officials that know how to vote correctly. How about establishing a ‘Poor Voting Record Hunting Season’ for RINOs and once hunted down get them replaced with patriotic Republicans that read and follow the party platform and the Constitution.

In the meantime, we must let the RINOs know that we are watching and will work against them in the next election for violating our trust. They must sense our wrath and feel the pain of our opposition or they will keep on keeping on.

Congressional ‘Magic’ doesn’t work, the Constitution does.

Smokey the bear says “Only you can prevent forest fires.”

President Trump should say, “Only you can drain the congressional swamp…in Washington and in Idaho!”

Travesty or Justice?

From: GemStatePatriot.com                     by Rich Loudenback

Respectfully, we want to believe in Attorney General Sessions as the staunch GOP conservative from Texas who was the first Senator to endorse Donald Trump for the Presidency. A man dedicated to enforcing the rule of law and overseeing justice among our many layers of courts in the justice system. He looks and figuratively smells like the guy we want to believe in.

Then Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein reinvigorated a tired 10-month investigation that failed to find any collusion between Trump and Russian hacking of the DNC by appointing Robert Mueller as an Independent Special Counsel with practically unlimited powers to pursue President Trump for ‘purported’ wrongdoing. Not a single indictment had come out of the FBI investigation.

Understanding that Sessions has much on his plate and some department re-organizing remaining, we are seeing too much from his department that is sickening in the expanding Mueller ‘witch hunt’ debacle and Sessions’ obvious approval of Mueller loading his staff with practically all partisan Democrats, with seven staffers having contributed large sums of money to either Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or the Democratic National Committee. None donated any money to Trump, or to any other Republican presidential candidate in the last campaign.

Mueller’s quest is an endless mire to find anything to pin on Trump, and build a mountain out of a molehill if possible. Oh, and never mind that ‘hot shot’ Mueller is best buds with Comey after serving as Comey’s boss for several years. What’s up with all that? Sessions should be embarrassed. ???

OF ALL PEOPLE, WHY MUELLER?

As Steve Byas, of The New American magazine reports in his revealing article‘Mueller’s Role in Delivering Uranium to Russians Raises Questions,’ “While the revelation of a secret meeting involving Robert Mueller in the delivery of uranium to the Russians, by itself, does not prove anything of a criminal or unethical nature, it does raise questions that merit an investigation. After all, when Mueller was FBI director under the Obama administration, he was trusted enough by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to carry out this mission. If it was a diplomatic mission, why was the FBI director involved? And if it was a law enforcement mission, why was Clinton involved?

“And is Mueller sufficiently objective to conduct an impartial investigation of a Republican president?

“These are questions that the mainstream media should pursue, but will not.”

Maureen Dowd says of Mueller’s team: “A White House adviser told me recently about how scary Mueller’s dream team is, and how Jared Kushner should be nervous. Every time Mueller adds a legal celebrity to his crew, the music gets cued for an “Ocean’s Eleven” or “Dirty Dozen” array of talent. One lawyer helped destroy the New York City mafia; another helped bring down Nixon; another tackled Enron; others are experts on foreign bribery and witness-flipping. As GQ’s Jay Willis wrote, “If these people were coming for you over a parking ticket, you’d be thinking about liquidating your life savings.”

This is all more than interesting and presents the appearance that A.G. Sessions could possibly be a grand, perfect mole, for the Never Trumpers who would be least expected of doing the bidding of the deep state globalists running the swamp after all. I choose to want to think not, BUT this is a travesty!

THE RUSSIANS: A RUSE?

I think so: Fill and control the news space, repeat, repeat till people start believing the lie. Repeat some more.

States Tyler Durden in his Zero Hedge article ‘The Evidence That Russia Hacked The DNC Is collapsing,’ “As I’ve been saying for months, there is no evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC: none, zilch, nada. Yet this false narrative is the entire basis of a campaign launched by the Democrats, hailed by the Trump-hating media, and fully endorsed by the FBI and the CIA, the purpose of which is to “prove” that Trump is “Putin’s puppet,” as Hillary Clinton put it. Now the investigative powers of the federal government are being deployed to confirm that the Trump campaign “colluded” with the Kremlin in an act the evidence for which is collapsing.

“This whole affair is a vicious fraud. If there is any justice in this world – and there may not be – the perpetrators should be charged, tried, and jailed.”

“In the first place, why would the Russians want to spy on the DNC after Obama and the Clintons so generously accommodated Putin? See: ‘Putin Would Prefer Hillary‘ 

“Let us suppose that Vladimir Putin did successfully ‘hack’ election computers in our Presidential election. So now the question really comes down to who he would have preferred dealing with as our next president. Would he have preferred a guy he doesn’t know, whose successful business career has been built on accountability and credible relationships? Or, would he prefer the wheeling dealing ethics-deficient treasonous Clintons he knows he can buy off like he did with their obtaining 20% of our national Uranium supplies through a company in Canada while Hillary was Secretary of State? The Clintons reportedly raked in $130 million on the deal. It appears political relationships can be surprisingly rewarding and create downright landslide opportunities with no investigations.”

Keep in mind that not only were former Directors of the CIA John Brannon, NIA James Clapper, and FBI James Comey all appointed by Obama, but Comey also has serious connections to the Clinton Foundation. Interesting. They steadfastly support the allegation about Russian involvement in our election process while not actually probing the information directly. They are relying on other sources for their information. Cozy. Therefore, they cannot be accused of direct wrongdoing.

We should recognize that ruse is a ruse, is a ruse.

INVESTIGATE & PROSECUTE THE ‘TEFLON DEMOCRATS’ ENDLESS SCANDALS

Where’s justice for real documented crimes of the Clintons, Obama, Holder, Lerner, Lynch, Geithner, Lew, Rice, Power, Perez, Abedin, Wasserman Shultz and Comey and probably many more attached to them?

The documented crimes and transgressions of the aforementioned ‘dirty democrats’ abound and have been widely reported on but always ignored by justice and ignored and lied for by big media comrades while being swept under the rug by their fellows and neo-cons at the direction of the establishment i.e. the Council on Foreign Relations.

I’m reminded of the old TV commercial that stated ‘Where’s the beef?’ Well here is the beef. On steroids! Attorney General Sessions should sink his department’s teeth into much that is begging for investigations and prosecutions among the democrats that many believe can get away with anything as is evidenced in a little studying.

Summing up the direction of the Sessions Justice Department are the remarks of a writer named Pistol Pete on a website named PoliNation.WordPress.com: “NO NEED TO GET EXCITED. THE LAW HAS NEVER TOUCHED THE CLINTONS AND NEVER WILL. THEY OPERATE WITH IMMUNITY SINCE THEY ARE, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES (NOT INTENSIVE PURPOSES), ABOVE THE LAW.

“Washington D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, ordered State to search the accounts of Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jake Sullivan, Clinton’s top aides at the State Department, in response to a lawsuit filed by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.

“Mehta said that the State Department did not do enough to search for all emails it has on its computer systems regarding the Benghazi attacks, which left four Americans dead.

“It is remarkable that we had to battle both the Obama and Trump administrations to break through the State Department’s Benghazi stonewall. Why are Secretary Tillerson and Attorney General Sessions wasting taxpayer dollars protecting Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration?”

With tongue in cheek: …wonderful.

Will the Jeff Sessions we want to believe in, please stand up.
