PRINCIPLES FOR A FREE SOCIETY
Pretty much all post-election analyses – on the left and right alike – agree that the Republican landslide earlier this month was a result of broad voter discontent with Obama’s agenda.
For instance, every successful GOP senate candidate campaigned for a full repeal of Obamacare. Republican candidates also hammered Obama’s amnesty push. Across the country, Republicans ran aggressively against Obama as it resonated with the People more than anything else. Americans are sick and tired of the President’s destructive socialist policies.
Even the Democrats recognized Obama’s toxicity, having their candidates stay as far away from the President as they could.
The end result was that Republicans took eight seats in the Senate (and may have nine if Cassidy knocks off incumbent Senator Landrieu in Louisiana’s runoff election next month) , and gained a likely 13 seats in the House, giving them a solid supermajority of 247 there. This was a considerable shift in power, with the GOP having more seats in Congress than at any time since Herbert Hoover in 1928.
In short, America voted decisively against Obama’s agenda. And now, the Republican Congress unquestionably has a broad mandate to confront and stop it.
So what are we hearing from Republican leadership? Well, two weeks ago, newly-elected House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he would not push for a vote to repeal Obamacare. That spawned a mini-rebellion among conservatives bloggers. The grassroots was justifiably outraged by the House leader’s approach to such a key issue for conservative voters.
Fast forward to King Obama’s executive amnesty this past week. Did the GOP leadership learn from McCarthy’s misstep? Not even slightly. On Saturday, out-going Rep. Michelle Bachmann reported that during a closed door GOP caucus meeting this past week, Speaker of the House John Boehner and many other congressional leaders “acted as though the amnesty issue wasn’t even an issue.”
She continued, “They said that the President is going to do what he’s going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing.”
In other words, every House GOP leader agreed that Republicans were going to do NOTHING about Obama’s unconstitutional power grab this past week. But they didn’t stop there. According to Rep. Bachmann, the self-congratulatory leadership all concluded that taking this passive approach to Obama and remaining positive was a “brilliant strategy,” thus assuring the caucus that they would maintain this go-along-get-along strategy throughout the next Congress.
Newsflash to Boehner, McCarthy, et al.: such an approach isn’t brilliant, it’s moronic. The voters elected you to confront this administration, not bow to it. Confrontational approaches – like defunding the White House – is not something that will harm the party. On the contrary, it will strengthen it, showing the grassroots that there really is a difference between the two parties. But now, you’re risking it all, preparing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You are rejecting the confrontational mandate that brought you the largest GOP caucus in almost 90 years. And in the process, you are about to ensure that the same grassroots that brought you your current supermajority will opt for a different approach in 2016.
Many of us held our noses and voted for the lesser of the evils in this year’s midterms, thinking we’d help get our country back in the process. A GOP failure to take meaningful action to restore our great nation will cause many of us to take a different path in the future. We’re sick and tired of voting for the same thing, no matter the ticket. We want our country back.
Oppose and repeal Obamacare, oppose and defund Obama’s amnesty, or make way for real patriots to lead.
