I'm gonna hope you like my snake oil. |
Republicans decide to release their "commitment to America" plan. Their plan is the same tired old canards of painting the opposing party as the enemy, claiming they alone can fix the country's problems and scapegoat in a bid of desperation move to appeal to white nationalists.
Some folks were quick to point out that the video that was released carried stock footage from Russia and Slovakia.
QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA) listened to the bullshit of disgraced House Speaker, failed presidential candidate and Jan. 6 plotter Karen Gingrich. The washed up politician must have fed the Republicans this noise about how the "Contract for America" helped Republicans win back Congress.
No, it was noise from a gas bag named Rush Limbaugh and a well coordinated game plan from Republicans to scapegoat crime, gays and immigrants as the ills of the world. They used dog whistle politics as usual to scare white folks into believing that their way of life is under attack from Black criminals, illegal immigrants, Muslims, gay men kissing, a drag queen reading stories to children and that transgender woman going to a women's restroom. Of course, they want you believe that the election was stolen, Israel can't do wrong, every Democrat is a "socialist", Hillary Clinton, The Green New Deal, Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's cognitive decline, the media is against them and freedom.
McCarthy claims his "Commitment" to make "an economy that's strong," "a nation that's safe," "a future that's built on freedom," and "a government that's accountable."
All white, all white. |
1. A nation with a strong economy. The Republicans trashed the economy by allowing Washed Up 45 run his trade wars with China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union. They failed to handle the pandemic. They continued to run this notion that "trickle down economics" is the key to a good economy.
2. A nation that's safe. Right! The same folks who allowed Jan. 6 to happen. The same folks who won't condemn the threats against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The same folks who want to scapegoat women who want to have safe medical terminations. The same folks who refuse to pass legislation that bans or restricts potential terrorists from obtaining semi-automatic firearms. The same folks who rather keep the water dirty, the air dirty and the country on fire because they refuse to acknowledge climate change. The same folks who want Americans to starve because they want to take away the safety net.
3. A nation of freedom. The very same party that is upset over migrants trying to settle in the United States. The party that wants to keep transgender Americans from playing sports or serving in the military. The party that wants to pass laws that make criticism of Israel a crime. The party that believes that voters should be required to have an ID despite some voters aren't able to obtain identification. The very same party that wants to criminalize being a Muslim because they scapegoat terrorism with religion. The very same party that wants to not hold those accountable for criminal acts because they believe in "freedom."
4. A nation of accountability. This is the same party that is devoted to torment a private citizen. They are obsessed with Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden and Lois Lerner. McCarthy said that if he could be hounding Clinton, it would hurt her chances in 2016. Do you actually believe a man who allegedly slept with Karen Elmers is willing to hold accountability. He promises to strip Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of her committeeship. He vows to press Dr. Anthony Fauci because of the pandemic. He wants to impeach Biden for conspiracy theories he learned from Fox. This is the very party that has election deniers and white nationalists in its ranks. Oh well.
The whole plan is ridiculous.
Republicans are engaged to take back the House. However, I don't expect they'll have the red wave.
However, I hope that we will reject the noise. The Republicans are motivated to bring noise if they take back Congress. We must stop them from retaking back Congress. They have no ideas only noise.
Ignore the noise.
VOTE.
