Let me start out by saying that no one bears more responsibility for the outcome of our most recent election night than our less than stellar ‘leader’ of the Senate Republicans, Mitch McConnell. He, and alone, is to be blamed despite his best efforts to blame others for this debacle. He was very successful in being able to avert what was supposed to have been a ‘red tsunami.’ And in so doing McConnell once again demonstrated, in rather spectacular fashion, that he is nothing more than a saboteur. He has long been one of the Democrats main players working on the inside, ready to do their bidding whenever it is that he might be called upon.
And as such he has forfeited any all claims for
continuing in his current ‘leadership’ position. And, I might also add, it’s his
rather uncomfortably close ties to the Chinese Communist Party that should also
be a disqualifier for holding any type of leadership position in the U.S Senate.
And if McConnell is allowed to maintain his current leadership position then I
have no doubt that it will reduce further the confidence of those like me that the
Republicans will prove to be any more aggressive than they’ve been in the past
when it comes to working to place strict limits on the damage being done to
this country by Joey and the Democrats.
Now not that I think it really matters to McConnell what
the American people may think of him, but his favorability has hit a record
low, according to Civiqs polling released Monday. Just 7 percent of voters view
McConnell favorably, while 81 percent view him unfavorably. Among the
Republican party, only 18 percent of Republicans approve of McConnell, and 61 percent
disapprove. And it’s those numbers alone that should determine McConnell’s fate
as leader of Senate Republicans. McConnell clearly prefers to have the
Republicans in the minority, less work for him when it comes to governing and
it also puts much more money in his pocket!
McConnell’s low favorability rating comes as he is
seeking reelection Wednesday as the Republican Senate leader after potentially
losing one more Senate seat than Republicans controlled before the 2022
election. If Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker loses in the Georgia
runoff, Democrats will gain a seat. But apparently McConnell is quite confident
that he’ll be able weather any storm that follows because, at least for right
now, no one has demonstrated the necessary balls to take him on. And has we all
know it’s a lack of balls that has long been a problem with Republicans as they
are always content to go along, to get along.
Under McConnell’s Senate leadership, the national
debt has soared more than $20 Trillion, illegal immigration has continued to
worsen, real wages for American workers have remained stagnant, Obamacare was
enacted in 2010, big banks were bailed out in 2008, and social media companies
have silenced individuals without repercussions. What a record of accomplishment
and a reflection of his leadership skills. And think of how much more President
Trump would have been able to accomplish if back-stabbing McConnell had been
out of the picture, and how many more conservatives would have been nominated
to the House and Senate.
As I said, McConnell really doesn't want a real
change in power in Congress, the status quo suits him just fine. He is nothing
but a sellout and he needs to go. And like I said McConnell could care less
what the voters think, he’s not there for us, he’s there for himself. He’s
never been on the side of the American people, he’s there to do the bidding of
the political elites and the big money donors. McConnell needs to go and anyone
that supports him needs to follow. Voters, at least Republican voters, have
grown tired of the endless lip service and of the unwillingness of congressional
Republicans to take a stand against what’s being done to this country.
McConnell got everything he wanted from the midterms,
no “red wave,” and he remains subservient to Chuckie Schumer and in return Chuckie
turns a blind eye to his all of his corruption. McConnell has simply chosen to ignore
numerous Democrat efforts to cheat and to abuse power. The country is being
burned down around us and the Republicans seem unwilling to lift a finger to
stop it. For over 70 years, the Republicans Party has simply sat back and
allowed the Democrats to walk all over them, the Constitution, and the citizens
of this nation. The time has come for the Republicans to have a real leader and
not one who only yields to the Democrats.
And frankly, I find it to
be rather astonishing that McConnell, the guy who denied tens of millions of
dollars in PAC financial support to those he didn’t like, will likely be
reelected to a leadership position, in the Senate MINORITY that he all but
engineered. The fact that any Republicans in the Senate are even considering
retaining McConnell as leader exemplifies their incompetence and
misunderstanding of the American people. The problem that we continue to have is
that there are still too many RINOs in both the Senate and the House. The priority
must be one of getting rid of them. These turncoats need to be purged with McConnell
being the first to go.
