We need to upend this bullshit. After all the effort, one senator who secured her re-election with a letter promising to be a good girl, managed to apparently kill all Gun Right laws for this session and then laughingly have her picture taken with the head Gun Control Carpetbagger.
We do a group effort to get what we supposed to be our people elected and that includes the GOP as majority. But somehow, when a Quisling screws things up, it is only us that suffer the consequences.
Not Anymore.
My proposal is simple: Every GOP Senator’s NRA endorsement is to be considered null and set to zero. You will get the votes and remain in the majority only by the amount of Pro Gun laws signed into law during the season. We only pay for delivered product. Our rights are not to be treated as a Ponzi Scheme.
And a GOP Senator may say: “But I am in the Widgets and Unicorns Committee! I don’t see any Gun Bills! That is unfair!” Well Sparky, life is unfair. The best NFL Special Team in the 2016 belongs to the Philadelphia Eagles, but they didn’t even make it to the Superbowl, right? They paid the price for the incompetence of the rest of their teammates. Why should you be spared? Your “company” did not deliver the products promised and we can’t get a refund, why should we continue to patronize your company? You want to be re-elected? Go to that committee, kick some ass and get them to do the right thing…or start looking for employment in the Civilian side.
That is my idea: GOP Senate delivers signed Gun Bills or everybody gets DeLaPortillaed. If you gonna allow your party to act Democrat, why should we bother to vote for you? We’ll stay home, thank you.
Keep in mind that setting her grade to zero/F is exactly what she wants. She gets to go into the Miami-Dade Mayor’s race with an F grade from the NRA… If the NRA wants to screw her, set it to A+ and support her in the primary…
I am not saying I am an expert in MD elections but they are mostly word of mouth after a long career in MD Politics and a shitload of cafecitos at Versalles… who the fucks knows her? DeLaPortilla thought he was going to get more support besides the $80K check he got from Bloomberg and he did not. Our side simply did not vote for him and he lost eben theough he spent twice as much on an unknown Democrat.
Good thought, just no money to go with the “support”. Who really knows what she wants, other than reelection or to further her political career? I still say, for her sake, I hope she’s a better attorney than she is a politician. Frankly, stick a fork in her, I think she’s done as a politician. Maybe IHOP will have a place for her, she’s pretty good at flipping.
If you live in her district, find someone to primary her in whatever position she wants next. In the general, campaign for her opponents. If you cannot tolerate the Democrats, find a third party candidate, and campaign for them. Imagine the consternation if someone that usually gets 1%, suddenly get 5 or 8%?
How? Those are Gun Rights Voters, they didn’t stay home, they voted for someone else.
I like the basic idea, that we no longer give good marks for nicely answered questionnaires, we give good marks for results.
On the other hand, it leaves me a little flustered to give Greg Steube the same score as this corrupt-o-crat. Granted Steube, by himself, hasn’t passed good laws, he only proposed them. On the other hand, he can’t pass the laws by himself. It takes the cooperation of politicians like Flores who obviously are only in it for themselves.
Plus, to people like the Demanding Mommies, a zero is a good grade, and do we really want to give Flores a good grade?
Unfortunately, I don’t see a way around this dichotomy. As long as being anti-gun gets billionaires to give them money, politicians are going to suck onto that.
