Republican sanity??

[Jeremiah Ames]

it appears there are still some republicans that function with reason:

'Carnival barkers': Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert snubbed by GOP women’s fundraising group

is this organization doing the right thing?

i doubt that Trump would think so.


I do like the “carnival barker” comment.

Mitt Romney might be considered a sane Republican, although I do have suspicions he wants to tank Social Security, unless I just bought into media talking points on the Social Security issue.

There are also a couple of female Republican Senators I like, who voted to impeach. One, Susan Collins, seems bipartisan enough at times that it's difficult to guess her opinions ahead of time, something so rare in politics.

George Bush Jr. - I have mixed feelings about him, but I like him as a person, especially now that he's older and possibly a bit less partisan. But I don't wish him back in office.

We desperately need blue dog Democrats and red dog Republicans.

I liked John McCain - even if I think Sarah Palin may not have been the best Vice President choice to represent him.

The GOP certainly is at a pivotal point.

If it was McCain before his death and he was well, vs. Joe Biden..... I might break the line of my party and vote McCain, and see what it brings us... I'd take the bet even though I'm not a betting woman as I tend to lose any bet.

be wary of George Bush Jr

he has some noble qualities, for sure

but he was one of the 3 presidents who were instrumental in the complete elimination of the middle class

he is drunk on the Reagan koolaid

Republican sanity??

Oxymoron par excellence!

it would be wonderful to have John McCain in congress now in lieu of, well, any trump worshipping senator

I should probably clarify and say, 'if this were in 2020 during voting'. Because with the job Biden is doing right now, I wouldn't wish for someone else to be in there.

John McCain was a despicable politician. He was spiteful and would even stoop to stealing from widows. Keating Five - Wikipedia

Yeah, you see, this is what I'm talking about - the good old days when a politician had one or two or three bad scandals, and wasn't causing new ones every day.

McCain was no saint, that's for sure. But the right and some Democrats have been stealing from the poor and middle class to give goodies to the wealthy and major corporations for quite some time.

The last tax cut which ballooned the deficit and mostly benefited the wealthy is as much a theft as Keating was. And it continues with efforts to boost goodies for the rich and screw the poor.

And the right is passing bills written by the major corporations and wealthy and given to legislators to pass for them.

Trump is the anti-Christ. He told people to get the vaccine. According to Lindell, et al, it is the Mark of the Beast and has a microchip in it.

Classic Tu quoque fallacy. Even if what you wrote about others were true it doesn’t justify McCain. McCain was an egocentric phony and incorrigible.

And who are they giving that money to? Neocon war-mongers like Liz Cheney? Greene may say things that trigger certain types (boo hoo), but she's not blowing people away and destroying entire nations. Somewhere, somehow, perspective has been lost.

There's articles about what a nasty person he actually was. Apparently he just had a good PR team. He was another warmonger, too. Remember the "bomb Iran" song he did?
