Time and again I hear on the Michael Medved show that the Republicans have fought bravely on behalf of the American Taxpayer. I enjoy listening to Mr Medved but with the caveat that he is clearly a GOPEE supporter.
The GOPEE is starting to wear on me as it is on those who support Donald Trump.
The backlash which has manifested itself in the success of Donald Trump? I understand it. I don’t think it’s fruitful or will hold water in the end when the chips are down, but I understand the source of the frustration and its resulting orange hair.
And it is because of things like this that Trump continues to resonate despite his pettiness, his childish behavior and lack of insightful substance.
Because of things like this from Breitbart.com:
Republicans Thwart Boehner Plan To Move Forward On Obama’s Nuclear Arms Deal With Iran
by Matthew Boyle
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A full-scale revolt against House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) —including a looming resolution that could come up for a vote at any time that would remove him from the speakership—has thrown into disarray the House GOP leadership’s previously carefully laid plans to push President Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran through Congress without a fight.
The Boehner GOPEE is at work once again, “going along to get along” with Obama..
I term it the GOPEE because Boehner represents the GOP Establishment Elite, the same people who, at the end of the day, meet their good Demorat friends at local watering holes for expensive name drinks, backslapping all around, laughing prevalent at having screwed the American Taxpayer over another day.
Amid a rebellion in the House GOP conference meeting on Wednesday morning, leadership canceled a previously scheduled rule vote that would have set up the House putting through a resolution of disapproval of the president’s Iran deal under the terms of legislation previously signed into law from Sens Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Ben Cardin (D-MD).
This all happened as a result of an argument furthered by Reps. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) and Pete Roskam (R-IL) that Congress shouldn’t even vote on the Corker-Cardin resolution, either approving or disapproving of the Iran deal, since the president has not yet complied with the law regarding the release of text of the deal including “side deals” cut with Tehran.
In other words, Obama and his sycophants are insisting that Congress vote for something the likes of which they haven’t even seen in totality. There are a host of “side deals” as yet unrevealed even to Congress.
Sound familiar?
Besides being an idiotic idea — supporting something that so very few have apparently even read in totality much less the “side bets” — the parts that are known make no sense for the security of the United States, for Israel, or the world. We are giving nuclear weapons to Iran with essentially no monitoring of their program whatsoever.
The Iranians are laughing, sending out Tweets (Iran’s Khameini is on Twitter, for God’s sake) that Israel will be gone in 25 years. They are singularly pleased that the United States and the West could be such abysmally stupid dupes.
Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei takes pleasure in the fact that Iran will not negotiate any further with the US unless it is in their favor — as with the nuclear deal. Trump is correct: this is roughly the worlds worst negotiation.
It is action like this, endorsed by Speaker Boehner, that makes people like me, actual Conservatives, upset.
In four words, we are fed up.
Boehner and Republicans like Boehner have got to go.
Hence: the popularity of Trump.
Right or wrong, the popularity of Trump.
