Greetings:
When Congressman Gowdy was first selected to head the Select Committee, I saw him on the “Charlie Rose” interview program on the Progressive (née Public) Broadcasting System. Needless to say, Mr. Rose was not impressed by either Rep. Gowdy’s dynamism or the latter’s stated intentions. The look on Mr. Rose’s face at the end of the interview was on that I would describe as “Lunches are going to be eaten”.
If cloning is impractical, can we at least ensure that we breed from him?
He is clearly a raciss for grilling a latina.
Latina fajita?
Sorry but she is not lean enough – truly grilling her would be a fire hazard. I recommend parboiling as a much safer alternative.
I must say she is a lipid-rich environment. I think someone misread the memo. Didn’t Barry promise the most limpid administration ever?
So, saute.
Gowdy has also said he will not shut down the government.
Two things: first, any GOPer who says s/he won’t shut down the government is trying to play us, not the liberals: it would be Obama who shuts down the government, not Congress, who has the actual authority of the power of the purse. Should Obama wish to deny citizens services because he can’t get 5 million work visas for illegals while we have 5 million citizens who’ve left the work force, let him own that. It’s a winning message that is easily deployed.
That they won’t use such an argument — and have preemptively blamed themselves for an Obama shutdown — shows you just how craven they really are, and just how rigged this system is. Theater, nothing more.
Second, any GOP Congressman or Senator who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and yet refuses to do so for fear of political blowback aided by a media apparatus in the bag for the progressives that most Americans no longer trust — that is, for reasons such as “electoral chances in 2016” — is complicit in Obama’s unconstitutional usurpation of the legislative body.
Mitch McConnell said at one point that only 51 votes were needed to repeal Obamacare. Now that he’s empowered again, the goal posts have been moved and he’s surrendering on repeal (well, pretending to: he doesn’t want full repeal) and claiming he won’t be able to get 6 Democrat votes to get the now 60 votes he says are necessary.
It isn’t just Gruber who believes we’re all a bunch of easily-manipulated morons. Hal Rogers has been working with Barbara McCulsky on an omnibus spending bill since before the election. Show votes and plausible deniability are all the GOP cares about: they want to mislead their base and are horrified that a growing percentage of that base won’t be misled, too engaged have they become in the process and too much has the veil of DC-politics been lifted by alternative media types.
That’s why McConnell vows to crush us but refuses to force Obama to make the decision to back unpopular legislation and unpopular executive fiats: he and the establicans are far closer to the progressives Democrats than they are to limited government conservatives and classical liberals.
What is needed now is what was needed four years ago, and since: an organized takeover of local and state GOPs. These parties groom future national candidates and determine the outcome of primary elections.
Utahns who thought electing Mike Lee in 2010 cemented their control of their state GOP discovered otherwise in 2012, so they must keep fighting — as must Kansas and Mississippi and the rest.
Each election cycle is an opportunity to make history, not end it.
