It is a good thing to see the masks dropping amid the professionally republican class who view themselves as something more than representatives of their constituents.
In public response to the requests of the voters, Idaho’s Second Congressional District Representative Mike Simpson reminds voters that their opinion means nothing.
[Source]
FYI, Steve Scalise is voting for Jim Jordan.
Who is paying for Mike Simpson? Because apparently, he doesn’t think the voters matter much.
Melt the phone lines!! I’ve called 20 congressmen in the past 10 days. Be a force multiplier. Man the ramparts!
I’ve contacted Andy Garabino twice already.
Force multiplier
Bannon
On My day off tomorrow I will he to MELTING the friggin lines!! Out with the American haters and in with the listeners to me/we the people!
Some boxes are full, some aren’t. Anyone that has a fax machine should utilize it. Emails if in their district.
This Simpson guy should really be embarrassed voting for a man that withdrew his name. Such arrogance these people have.
The male bimbo that voted for someone to make his life miserable, I don’t even recall the name, should go down in history tied w/Guam Johnson as the #1 idiot of American politics.
embarrassment is not a concept they are familiar with. Tom Cole nominated Jim Jordan on round 2, and John James cast his vote for Tom Cole.
while you’re calling, also let them know that the average American does not want $100 billion donated as foreign aid at this time. Doesn’t mean we don’t support those in challenging situations, but sending thoughts and prayers until we handle much-needed problems and disasters (Maui) here that impact all.
I identified his district yesterday (and the ones in FL) as prime targets for a Trump rally where everyone in Idaho GOP politics except the Rep. gets invited to attend and speak.
Then as Trump gives his speech and recognizes people in the crowd says something like “Let’s hear it for ‘Sam’. He sure would make a great member of Congress, don’t you agree?”
Trump has something very few politicians command: real, proven, endorsement power. When Trump endorses you…you win.
And what a great way to set aside the usual campaign stump speech in favor of an “It’s time to clean HOUSE” speech. “Ladies and gentlemen, my usual speech is about Biden. But when we win, a big problem we must deal with is Democrats running as Republicans. We got rid of the horrible Liz Cheney and Adam Kinziger last year. And a bunch of other losers whose ONLY purpose in Congress was to block you by joining forces with Democrats to block and impeach me. Well, that was a good start. But we’ve got a new crop of losers to show the door…”
If he wants to Make America Great Again, he needs to treat the cancer inside the GOP.
I don’t , bro—the RINOs had no trouble in battleground states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona torpedoing Trump-endorsed candidates. Without the help from RINOs, elections would be harder to rig…
most of his endorsements stunk in AZ – I still voted for them but they stunk… and OZ in Pennsylvania? ugh
Oh really, you like Fetterman then?
That stole Az – wake up my friend. PDJT won as did Kari Lake
His endorsements were based on internal political polls showing odds favoring those candidates. But massive election fraud tends to override the probability of legitimate outcomes.
The RINO – controlled HRCC and SRCC withheld campaign funding from Trump -endorsed MAGA candidates. A glaring example of this treachery was what happened to Kelly Tshibaka in Alaska.
Yes. That’s a perfect example of indirect election interference and vote rigging. All candidates should have equal access to party funding for primary campaigns. Incumbents have their own campaign funding already from their prior campaign(s). Let the public see all candidates without biased restrictions by party apparatus. Neither the NRCC nor HRCC should be allowed to deny a candidate the opportunity to compete fairly against the incumbents. Let the voters determine who they prefer by seeing and hearing all candidates make their case and propose their platforms. Party funding should be equal, while public donations can go towards the public’s preferred choices.
have trouble seeing the forest through the trees?
Pick your spots. You’re not going to win every battle, but you chip away at it and force candidates (and measure candidates) on a set of 5-10 core MAGA pronciples.
Trumps endorsements didn’t do us much good in AZ – a lawyer with less than 3 years legal experience for AG ? and he skunked on US senator too… ugh
they cheated..remember?
With the fraud in Arizona, Mother Teresa couldn’t have been elected.
Arizona:
Governor – Dem
Lt Gov. -Dem
AG. -Dem
Sec State -Dem
Treasurer Republican won big!
How did the Republican win for Treasurer (useless) and Republicans lost the important races?
Bingo. Im-freakin-possible with honest voting.
Oh please. Yes, he OCCASIONALLY loses. But you’re missing the point. How many of the impeachers won last year? 2? Cheney: gone. Kinziger: gone.
You won’t always replace them with MAGA, but you take them out anyway. You make it punishment and pure hell to run as eGOP knowing you’ll be gone in 2 years.
there should be a blonde joke in there somewhere
You really are blonde.
Unless the swamp steals the election like they did I. 2022.
So how do you stop that?
Look, we know the fix is in. Pick your spots, think like an insurgent. Make their lives hell and drive them out.
Who do they think they are? Dont they know who I am!
Youre a cowardly weasel mike, and now they know who you are.
When a politician says”Don’t you know who I am!”
The proper response is “No, but I know WHAT you are!”
I would politely reply, “Yes, sir, you are the Congressman for the 2nd District of Nebraska, Mr. Bacon – don’t you know? I called you to ask you to vote for Jim Jordan, if you remember.” [for example]
Oh my! Poor little baby.
I wonder if I’ve ‘triggered’ poor little POS RINO Rutherford?
Should I be expecting a visit from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office?
Victoria Spartz responded to me that she doesn’t work for “me” she works for a different Congressional District in Indiana. I reminded HER that she has “R-IN” after her name and that means she represents all of Indiana and should act accordingly by listening to all Hoosier constituents. Also told her that her “bias was showing” and that anything evildoers do should be repaid by God in kind tenfold.
Fantastic, thank you. Disgusted with Spartz.
She is Z’s congresswoman. I bet she listens to him.
Kinda funny that they all are willing to listen to lobbyist that are not in their district.
That’s an excellent point and if any of them tell me that… I’m stealing your line.
You are most welcome to it. They all need to get this same message. They need us to tie a knot in their ass and remind them that they are in positions of service to represent us – not positions to make us subservient to them.
All of them should be listed as “R-K St”.
Great point. Suggest you spread it far and wide on whatever social media you use.
Great point! I hope you will spread this on whatever social media you use. It would go “viral” (don’t like that word but in this case it would help open people’s eyes.
Exactly.
Awesome J!
I heard she is not running again
So she could care less
sb. she couldn’t care less. That means she does not care at all.
If she could care less, then she does care somewhat.
Even though she’s not running for re-election – she is still running her frequent town halls. That may cease soon, though, because she’s becoming more and more fringy and she’s getting busted for playing the flip flop game.
She wants money for Ukraine. America needs to make dang sure foreign nationals don’t get elected into our government. They don’t represent Americans at all.
Too late for some members, e.g., Squad screaming dual citizens.
She’s not running for re-election for her current seat, Trump Truth. That doesn’t mean she’s not maneuvering for something else in the future. This is Indiana we are talking about here. The land of shifty politics.
They work for ALL of America, whether they like it or not. I am sick of the district crap, I bet she was happy to take money from all over the country and even money from Ukraine to get her seat.
I would respond with one sentence:
Yes, and you’re a U.S. citizen not Ukrainian.”
I guess Mikey’s talking about me.
I’ve called multiple times.
No threats, just asked questions he nor his staff have the integrity to answer.
Pathetic.
Got any idea how we can get rid of this little traitor from congress? An no we’re not talking about taking him out.
The MAGA Republicans in eastern Idaho need to get organized around the right candidate. Not sure why that hasn’t happened yet.
Would love to see comments to this twits tweet.
Real men don’t talk like that. This guy is a democrat.
Yep,
Maybe even a Pedocrat.
The guy is a professional politician.
At the battle of Thermopylae Leonidas supposedly said that Xerxes had many soldiers but few men.
Congress has many professional politicians but few men. Or women.
Hey man, instead of the powdered wigs photo, post that Hollywood Squares photo with the red X’s over all the neverTrumpers removed in 2022…caption it:
WE DON’T MAKE THREATS. WE KEEP PROMISES.
Sure wish JIM DeMINT was still my senator or Congressmam . Wish he’d run against Lindsey!
If I am recalling correctly, Jim DeMint was actually one of the true good guys, which probably explains why he didn’t last long in DC! Decided to keep his integrity and his soul…
I think Michelle Bachman was the same.
Just like Gordon Klingenschmidt.
“I Dont Need You To Get Me Elected”
–Mike Simpson
First, this. I was wondering where we were getting the context to know for sure that Simpson was referring to his constituents.
Now we can assume that “intimidation tactics won’t move me” was not a complaint, but rather him opening the floor for taking bids. I wonder what kind of promises eventually will “move” him?
If I added correctly, he provided Scalise with 1 of his 7 votes – sooooo close, just a bit outside.
”principled”-CONservative
LOL!! Bob Uecker chimes in.
WORDMAN, haven’t seen anything from you recently. I enjoy your posts. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thanks, K! Been working on a couple of local campaigns in NY….
Best regards.
I thought Idahoans were made of sterner stuff.
Is he CA transplant?
25 years in Congress. Eastern Idaho swamp creature.
Is he also a pajama wearing Mittens clone?
We can’t get him out. Voting never is enough to get this little skunk shown the door. The Mormon here are loyal to their members and that could be why he always wins.
He was first elected in 1998. Currently, his district (Idaho’s 2nd congressional district) includes Blaine County (Sun Valley) and Teton County (across the state line from Jackson Hole, WY)- both went for Biden in 2020. As well, the 2nd includes most of Boise, which is more purple than red.
So there’s that.
So, without all the R votes, he will lose to a D. Remind him of that.
If it’s true that his district went for Biden over Trump, then he would have to at least give a show of resisting or ignoring Trump’s endorsement.
That’s another result from the political weaponization of the DOJ–in mixed districts, there’s no middle ground. There are very few voters remaining who don’t consider one or the other Presidential candidate a true, jail-worthy criminal!
“If it’s true that his district went for Biden over Trump…”
Two counties in his district, not the whole district.
Glad to hear he’s not representing North Idaho. That piece of crap would likely be afraid to appear in public if he said crap like that to about 80% of the residents there.
Thank you Not Sure. Sounds like a WEF creature. IIRC wasn’t Sun Valley the locale for a globalist summit recently?
Yes. Sun Valley is a hot bed of looney-toon leftists.
This moron thinks he’s tough and teaching the constituents a lesson, however, this guy has just exposed the content of his character, after successfully hiding it for many years.
Imagine that! Another Trumpian Expose’.
All because President Trump endorsed Jim Jordan and MAGAdonians for rescuing our Constitutional Republic and helping our children and their children know what a Free Country really means.
Drew Ferguson has D rating Liberty Score and voted in round 2 against Jordan. He has a primary opponent Jim Bennett to whose campaign I just donated.
Can you imagine what happens if Bennett is MAGA and Trump does a few posts and maybe invites him to a rally? (the guy needs to be good)
Kinziger talked a big game until his money dried up and the MAGA primary tidal wave formed.
Well he got $7 million in donations
Mike Simpson brings home a lot of money home for his district. The INEEL (Idaho National Engineering and Evnviornmental Laboratory) and Big Ag love him for that!
And who gets to enjoy that money? Not the masses. Only a select few. So, the masses need to form a blob and vote the bastard out. People need to realize that when we stop letting them divide us- we actually hold all of the power.
Sounds like he should be in CA or CO.
Primary and oust that bastard.
From the comments section of the GP:
Interstate15 Rob
21 minutes ago
These four voted for Jordan at first then switched away (with Liberty Scores):
F 56% Vern Buchanan FL-16
D 60% Drew Ferguson GA-3
D 63% Marinette Miller-Meeks IA-2
D 67% Pete Stauber MN-8
These two switched their votes to Jordan (yay!)
C 71% Doug LaMalfa CA-1
C 79% Victoria Spartz IN-5
I am surprised to see Spartz on that list. My gut feeling is that she knew the votes was going to be defeated and that gave her cover. That is rule number 1 of UniParty.
“Actually, I voted for the $86B before I voted against it.” – John Kerry, 2004
“ KNOW the Vote Count “
By today’s profligate spending standards, $86B looks like walking around money!
Exactly!
The wussification of the American male seems to have had great success in our CONgress critters.
“Intimidation and threatening tactics”, somebody needs to tell him to stop any soy products, his estrogen is showing.
I’m a woman and I probably have more testosterone than he does, lol.
I don’t wonder why the soy boyz have issues!
Kay Granger also doesn’t want to hear from her constituents.
It’s not a threat if we actually primary you and remove you from office. It’s a promise.
It’s funny how they’re all parroting the same line.
Next thing you know, they’ll be calling the House an open air prison.
Exactly: “It’s not a threat, Congressman. It’s just I have to follow my convictions.”
^this
“It isn’t at all a threat, dear Sir [or Madam] . . . it’s just a request to vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House and if you choose not to do so, then I will not vote for you in the next election as you apparently do not see things as I – your constituent – see them. Have a nice day.”
Talking points received
Right!
“Intimidation and threats will not change my position.”
So the RINOs have a chant, just like the communists. Interesting.
Another…I voted for Steve Scalise.
Does she realize that Scalise voted for Jim Jordan?
No, they are going out of their way to advertise that they are anti Trump and anti MAGA! Because their donors want them to! Anyone having the slightest notion that the politicians will take anything seriously other whatever could make them lose their job are sadly mistaken.
It’s like some kind of game for these losers
My wife called Ms. Granger yesterday to remind her that there is more to Fort Worth, TX than just Lockheed-Martin. We encouraged her to vote for Jim Jordan – that must have triggered her since it’s so intimidating. She only cares about her favorite defense contractor and has been ignorant and disdainfull of her voters for many years.
is it ‘intimidation’ or a ‘threat’ to say you are a registered republican who promises to vote against her, if she keeps voting for the ‘machine’ candidate to block jordan ?
In their petticoat world, yes.
Worthless rep when things actually matter. Check out her posted comments from 2020. Syrupy complimentary of Trump. Dang these people are so two-faced. It would truly be hard to find 20 of them who even cares about the US, regardless of the 212 that Jordan got.
It’s not intimidation to simply tell someone you won’t be voting for them if they don’t vote for your choice. “Nothing personal, Congressman/woman, but I can’t give you my vote again.”
I add the “again” to make them think I was their voter once.
Wanna Bet?
Tell the Truth; the Lobbyists got to you. They wined you, they dined you and they promised you $$’s and they threatened you $$’s…
Lady, you nothing more than a Prostitute!
Here’s your sign!
How are these congressmen justifying voting for a man (Scalise) who has withdrawn from the race for Speaker of the House?
If these RINO’s had any savvy they would be saying they aren’t giving Jordan enough votes to become speaker because secretly they don’t want the House to pass any more appropriations and the longer there is no Speaker the more time no more money can be spent?
Even though it won’t be true it sure would garner some re-election support by MAGA voters who haven’t seen the strings yet and callers could then add to that observation, since you’re willingly delaying a speaker take his place are you (insert congressman’s name) actually trying to hold up money for Ukraine???
that should get them to stop and think for a moment, at least it will show them how their competition in re-election time will be reframing their game since money for Ukraine seems to be the real thing these congressmen believe is important.
turn the left’s and deep state’s talking points against them since these RINO’s are well prepared to ignore MAGA talking points, use their real agenda as a counter-jab; at the least they will remember their voters are paying attention and voting time is not that far away.
Disagreed with a commie prof at an elite school, who interpreted my critical paper as an existential threat. Think it’s driven by the totalitarian mindset, which is black / white, live / die, fight / flight. The know deep in their heart they’re wrong, so truth is threatening.
I used to openly mock my macroeconomics professor when I got my MBA. This was in 2009, and the Obama economic “experts” were proclaiming all the same remedies our professor was teaching. I remember at one point saying “You have the largest Keynesian macroeconomic experiment in world history: TARP and “the stimulus”. How much more data do you need to see that all your formulas are wrong?”
He got so pissed about that and said “This isn’t a political science class,” to which I replied “every policy and math formula you’re teaching is a GOVERNMENT action. That you don’t understand that macroeconomics is a subset of poly sci explains why your math is wrong.”
I also have a physics degree and would mock him by pointing out that Einstein’s math has been proven correct to 9 decimal places in countless experiments. Why can’t he show us that these formulas are actually correct?
I used to get fan mail from other students and asst. professors.
“Fan mail”
Awesome! my hubby & I laughed out loud over that. 😂
I’m enjoying the visual of your leftist prof stuttering with spittle on the corners of his/her/they/them mouth. Most excellent.
They’re not used to dissent. Most of my cohort was recent college grads. I was 39 and had been running a business for 10 years. It never got unprofessional, other than his poly sci comment. But he would present things as if they were proven but he couldn’t back it up.
Did he give you a ‘passing grade’?
Just curious here.
My daughter got into certain debates with her professors…and at one point was told that her Dad (who is a licensed professional engineer) was doing her homework for her and he was attempting to FAIL her!
She fought him (but my husband did offer to go and meet with the professor. She said “No Dad”, “I don’t need you interfering “…She told the Professor: “If you only knew my Father”…”He makes us work for everything, even playing a board or card game.”)
As an aside: My husband wasn’t even around much. He was traveling around the world teaching “Cathodic Protection” in his early retirement years.
He had little choice but an A because the exams were not subjective – it was a mathy course and while I knew the math formulas were wrong in the real world, I could still solve all the academic problems. Hard to screw me over if the answer is 4 and I get 4.
It did cross my mind a couple times that he might retaliate. But I was pretty well known by the program director at the school and she welcomed the advice and insights me and a few of my teammates offered up. If you’re reasonable and not a bomb thrower, it’s easy to get someone’s ear.
That is awesome Hok
Good for you!
Economics is not a science that formulas or math can be applied. Economics is a story.
New college course:
How to end your political career 101.
What an idiot.
My brother lives in Idaho, he says any politico (from Idaho) that says one thing and acts out another way are gone. He say people there are done with the two faced morons. And it does not matter if they have only one term Representatives and Senators. He figures eventually they will get the right ones.
The money will dry up. Those are the “threats” he’s referring to. Primary threats and fundraising threats.
It’s good. We need to drive these people out or obtain their total obedience.
I’ll believe that when I see it. The last election the same old was elected again. We can’t get Simpson, crap-o or Risch out.
Maybe he’s gotten death threats?
Unlikely. For every 10,000 phone calls telling him they’ll vote for the other guy, they get one from someone (usually a Democrat pretending to be a Republican, or a staffer or family on a burner phone) with a “death threat”.
True. We have a lot of democrats pretending to be republicans in Idaho.
Simpson’s were Wyoming Senators for many years. They made lots of money while representing Wyoming. I wonder if the Montana Simpson is part of this family?
They are all related to each other in some way, shape, or form. It never fails.
Rinos pander to their constituents to get elected, but lacking integrity, dignity and self respect, they easily become servants of the deep state.
These bastards WANT your vote but they DESPISE you deplorables!
Tell them to go to hell.
I agree. I consider all the illegals crossing the border. They are a threat to us..US citizens. I hope they are all pulled out of there one day soon.
‘PLEASE FIRE ME! PLEASE FIRE ME! PLEASE FIRE ME!’
Am I blind? Why would a member of Congress openly say they want to be voted out?
I don’t know.
You should ask them, because that is what they are saying in public posts such as this, which is proving they are not worthy of a vote of confidence from their constituent due to their ACTION….in your face…
Simpson is not worried. He has Big Ag and the INEEL to support him. His district is huge potato country.
my congresscritter’s phone switches to say ‘its full’ – (too full to receive a message that we will vote and work against him if he continues to vote against jordan and for profligacy with continued hiding of corruption and profligacy).
Go on social media, especially Twitter and post to them there. I did.
Did you try their local office number? Emails also will work if you are actually in their district.
the congresscritter requires an email and phone number (for solicitation/harassment/sale)
Agreed –
1) What has Scalise done to earn his vote “in the last two rounds?”
2) If Scalise has “repeatedly proven his leadership” why (as I assume Simpson did) vote for McCarthy to be Speaker in January?
3) If Scalise is such a proven leader, then why is Simpson not following Scalise’s lead and voting for Jordan?
4) What constitutes “intimidation and threatening tactics”?
The answers to 1) through 3) are pretty straightforward and can be categorized as general politicking, a polite term for legalized corruption.
The answer 4) is more interesting, and I suspect it has less to do with physical harm and more to do with people asking their elected representatives to represent them.
Scalise isn’t much of a leader if he’s voting for Jordan and can’t get a handful of people to join him.
Well…my guess is he’s really not much of a “Team Player”…as they say in the world of sports!
Intimidation and threats?
“Not interested that you write me your reply. Just letting you know what I’m thinking and that you ought to know.
Will people (*this time) in the current world, economic and political situations have to get drastic holding their public servants feet to the fire? After all these years?
“You are one of 10 blockheads of opposition to Jim Jordan’s nomination in the House”.
Are you aware the DC Wall of Opposition is crumbling for those who do not bear fruit or only bear rotten fruits?
The tides have changed”
“Getting drastic” as in doing something finally – i.e. primary him (holding his feet to the fire) since most people’s long suffering patience have worn thin. Note the asterisk “Will people (*this time) hence, no more talking, after all these years).
Banking on people’s patience and unwillingness to cause chaos over some differences.
Simpson has long been known to be a Democrat. Wonder why Newsom was in Idaho recently to meet with Democrats and what went down other than the scanty news bite on where he went and the by-invitation-only members (none mentioned) he met with.
Whereto? His tweet only serves to add more guilt-fire to his feet himself.
You know at least 5 GOPrick RINOrats want to vote for Jefferies. They do know it would destroy what is left of the GOP side of the uniparty. Curious. How many would cross over and vote for Jefferies in a closed door secret vote?
I suspect that’s their current threat. It died down a bit since it would end their political careers because they’d effectively be switching parties.
We need to get Sundance to post that Hollywood Squares X chart showing all the neverTrumpers removed in 2022…
Why would they want to lose to Jeffries (propped up by the odious Pelosi) and claim victim hood when things go south. They are not fit for any office. Even dog catchers must have a touch of decency.
As UNIPARTYSLAYER said, LET’S BURN THE PHONE LINES DOWN. Email them and then call them. and no matter where you are, call up Mike. Tell him the entire United States depends upon the trustworthiness of those who represent us, but he apparently doesn’t believe he has to listen to the people in his district, his state, or his country. We need to all phone him up and let his aides know what we think of him.
Let’s find someone like Andy Biggs, Eli Crane or Matt Rosendale to replace Mr. Simpson! They vote with the Constitution 100% of the time!
Another one we need to replace is Byron Donalds. He’s pushing digital currency with the Dems. and he’s promoting a Constitution Convention, and his top aide, Larry Wilcoxson has been charged with multiple crimes and his first move is always to threaten or intimidate.
Here’s an article about him: https://flcga.org/controversy-surrounds-gop-star-rep-byron-donalds-over-heated-confrontations-and-top-advisors-disturbing-arrest-history/
You have to love this though.
A state GOP that actually stands up for its members.
https://idahonews.com/news/local/idaho-gop-slams-rep-simpson-over-speaker-vote-says-he-has-been-in-dc-too-long
Only because Dorothy Moon is the Chairwoman. She is a real conservative. There are way too many democrats pretending to be republicans in Idaho.
I live in Idaho, but in the other House district. I let him know that I am very unhappy that he was the only one of the two Senators and two Representatives from Idaho to go after earmarks, and that after not voting for Jordan for speaker, I am looking forward to financially supporting in the next election his most conservative challenger.
These congress clowns could care less about our opinion but even more, they don’t give a shit about America. F all of them.
That’s what Kay Granger in Texas said on Twitter and her constituents really blasted her. I doubt they care. They are just serving the lobbyists and uniparty. In Granger’s case it is a construction and engineering company in her district that has billions in DOE contracts, according to her donor info.
Barris, who usually has good sources, said her major DOE donors will not be funding her next campaign. Apparently she and COOTUS are in neck and neck race to a long-care facility and the donors are cutting her off.
I notice from their twatter posts that those posers have picked up the demoncrap tactic of using the same 🐃💩talking point… in this case, the fraudulent implication of violence via the infamous, “intimidation & threats.”
Not one of them was elected to take a personal “vote of conscience.” They
were all elected to represent interests of their constituents. Miserable failures.
💯
Constituents: “You WILL be primaried!”
Mike Simpson’s therapist: “Ok, Mike. Now show me on this doll where the Republican voters hurt you.”
He is my congressman, though I voted against him in the last primary. Monday I emailed him that I was surprised to hear that a congressman from Idaho would not vote for Jordan and asked him to please vote for him. It took discipline to be polite.
Are we there yet?
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely, for the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, the establishing in like manner schools throughout the union; they may assume the provision of the poor…. Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America.” James Madison
Being primaried works. Ask Kantor.
My Idaho Congressman is Russ Fulcher, who is a fake “Freedom Caucus” member. Meaning, that he’s a proud member at election time, but when dough is on the line, like the debt ceiling vote, he’s all in with the GOP establishment crowd. Yeah, he’s basically a fake. If I reprinted some of his responses to my contacts, you’d be on the ground laughing.
However, Russ ought to be all over Rep. Simpson. So should Senators Crapo and Risch. Because Simpson is going to cost them all GOP votes. In fact, I’ll vote for ANYONE, including a Marxist Democrat in the General election if it comes to that, to get these fakes out of office. They sit in their safe, GOP offices, while supporting McCarthy, Scalase, McConnell (Crapo and Risch are two of the fifteen GOP Senators responsible for keeping McConnell in Senate leadership), and the rest of the lying, corrupt GOP. We have a near world war, outlaws at the DOJ/FBI imprisoning innocent Republicans, Marxist judges throwing away the jail house key, an economy imploding, an out of control national debt that is debasing the US currency, and along with it everything every American owns, stolen elections, yet the GOP House members are playing $power$ games. If Simpson causes Jordan to lose, and I’m not voting for ANY of the Idaho GOP clowns. I’m voting AGAINST them, in every way I can. It’s the only way to “reform” the GOP, is to kick these clowns to the curb.
The elected GOP are the WHIGS. Worthless trash. I’ll vote for Trump, no matter what, because if nothing else, the elected GOP hates him. Anyone else that wears a GOP label, will have to EARN my vote, and that won’t be easy. I’ve been lied to by all of them, so “trust” will be damn hard to develop, with this voter.
cock on a dunghill syndrome
Another toe tapping fool from Idaho? Ughhhh we’d be better off with Homer than Mike…
I called several amd not only didn’t it matter, but they were joined by 2 more
How many are really in cahoots
Probably 60-80 more
I am not on Twitter/X, but I’d love to see the responses to him. He is out of touch and soon to be out if a job.
Professional Republicans are Democrats!! He’d rather vote for Hakim Jeffries than for Jim Jordan.
We see you loud and clear
I always wonder when I see Tweets like this, from people like this RINO:
If you were so threatened. Under such distress. So fearful for your life. Because you were in such grave danger——How did you have the time and wherewithal to stop, take a picture, and then post to social media?
Just when I think things couldn’t get worse for the Republican Party I read this. This circus we call a Republic is really just run by clowns. Scary clowns.
Read the bio on his website – he was first elected to local office in 1980, followed by statewide office in 1984, and has been in Congress since 1998…so, basically, a career politician who has worked his way up to the Appropriations Committee, where all the BIG money gets spent! So, even though he says that he is “troubled by the United States’ growing debt” he has ZERO interest in actually reining in spending and definitely does not want a Speaker who might actually try to do something differently! He talks the talk to keep getting re-elected in a Red State but when he gets pushed to take a stand, his real priorities rise to the surface, don’t they?
Simpson brings home big money for his district. His patrons, i.e. Big Ag, INEEL dearly love him. He’s not worried.
Any similarity netween him and a horse headed north is purely coincidental.
I called Scalise’s office today and told them, I knew he could whip votes and didn’t quite care if he used an actual whip and a chair.
Scalise could end his career being a hero, he really should be calling out these people.
Young Einon: The peasants are revolting.
Brok: They’ve always been revolting. But now they’re rebelling.
One of my favorite sayings from the 60s & 70s: THE STUDENTS ARE REVOLTING
There’s two ways to take that. Either way works (from that time period – and from now).
“Intimidation and threatening tactics do not – and will not – work.”
Well then Congressman, what about blackmail and bribes?
Are they “working”?
To paraphrase the great movie Casablanca, “I’m shocked there is blackmail and bribery going on in here!, Your cash sir! Oh, Thank you very much!”
