As I’ve frequently written in the past, I stopped drinking the Republican Kool-Aid years ago. I got to where I simply couldn’t stomach the nauseating stuff. I grew tired of being treated like a fool, fed false promises, and being betrayed repeatedly by candidates I cast ballots for. Spare me from the argument that I must not say such things, since Republicans are at least the least of two evils. The truth is, it doesn’t matter which evil you choose, Republicans or Democrats, because we always get the same thing anyway, one way or another. Either Democrats run on the evil they are determined to do and get elected to do it or they get it done anyway by running over elected Republicans, who always roll over and play dead for Democrats.

Another thing I’ve always said, much to the chagrin of my Republican friends, is that I have more respect for Democrats than for Republicans, at least in one way. Democrats will fight to the death for what they believe in, no matter how evil it is. On the other hand, Republicans won’t fight for anything, but wet their britches and fall over backwards every time Democrats say, “Boo!” 

Yesterday, on Capitol Hill, Republicans once again proved themselves to be Benedict Arnolds and Joe Isuzus by betraying their voters and backing down to Democrats, who, as always, bullied wimpy Republicans into doing the bidding of the Left’s lunatic fringe. Knucklehead Republicans once again knuckled under to Democrats, by cowardly conceding to Democrats’ demand to end the longest government shutdown in American history, by partially funding Homeland Security, without funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Of course, while lily-livered Republicans passed this chicken-hearted compromise with a voice vote, so that their cowardice would not be recorded in the congressional record for posterity, Democrats did a victory lap around their stretched out and laid out namby-pamby political opponents. At the same time, all over America, illegal immigrants, criminal aliens, terrorist cells, and sanctuary states and cities celebrated Republican cowardice, Democrats’ successful political extortion of Congress, and the defunding of our country’s border protection and immigration enforcement.

Adding insult to injury, Republicans reneged on another promise to their voters yesterday, by renewing FISA Section 702, which has not only been repeatedly used by our government to illegally spy on and surveil American citizens, but also to weaponize our government against a presidential campaign and a United States President, Donald Trump. It’s save to say Republican promises are about as worthless as peddles on a wheelchair and about as unreliable as a screen door on a submarine.

If you looked up the word feckless in a Thesaurus, one of its synonyms should be “Republican,” and, as far as I’m concerned, a photo of the Republican Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, should be pictured beside it. Not only has Thune refused to eliminate the archaic Senate filibuster, to prevent Democrats from continuing to use it as a means of political extortion, by holding our country hostage with government shutdowns, until their every demand is met, but Thune has also failed to pass the Save America Act, which not only protects the integrity of our future elections, but is also supported by more than 85% of all Americans. The only thing preventing the passage of this important legislation is Senate Democrats’ unanimous opposition to it and John Thune’s utter lack of intestinal fortitude. By the way, just in case you didn’t know it, scaredy-cat Thune is also responsible for holding up an investigation and possible indictment of former CIA Director John Brennen, over Brennen’s treasonous role in weaponizing our government against Donald Trump. By refusing to bring a vote to the Senate floor to release records to Trump’s DOJ needed in its ongoing investigation into Brennen’s possible crimes and potential prosecution, Thune is preventing Brennen from being brought to justice.

Here is the frightening fact about feckless Republicans, it doesn’t matter if they or Democrats are elected, either way, Democrats get their way, because Republicans are always willing to get out of the way. Lacking the courage of their convictions, if they even have any real convictions, Republicans always cave to Democrats, who, despite the evil of their convictions, will run over cowardly Republicans to cram their evil down the throats of our citizenry.
