REPUBLICAN INTRAMURAL GAMES: REPUBLICAN JUNIOR VARSITY SEEKS POWER WITHOUT PURPOSE
Vol. II | Issue. 138 | January 5, 2023
At this point, it should be obvious to anyone paying attention that Republicans are unparalleled in snatching defeat from the arms of victory. The recent flipping of the House of Representatives from Democrat to Republican, regardless of the margin of victory, was a significant accomplishment and one that transferred significant power from the Donkey to the Elephant. However, the symbolic “passing of the torch” is the passing of the Speaker’s Gavel, which, as of yet, has not happened.
For those pretending to see that glass as half full, i.e. pretending that there is something democratic about the Intramural Competition for the Speaker’s gig, it isn’t in this case…
To me, it is clear that everything in electoral politics is transactional, and the Democrat politicians, through their Democrat Industrial Complex, are able to keep their eye on the ball strategically. That is, they never lose sight of their Leftist and transformational political agenda focused on turning America into a dystopian Marxist, or at the very least, a Socialist Government dominated by a single-party state. Accordingly, their political power is coupled with, and focused on, achieving strategic political goals.
Even when a dimwitted paragon of idiocy occupies the White House, somehow, they are still able to advance their strategic transformational goals. For the purpose of political definition, power is having the means and mechanisms in place to accomplish your goals within the existing system.
In that regard, the Dems are geniuses. Even when they are not in power, they have power… Their continued transformation of virtually every governmental agency over the past 60 years keeps their power intact even when they don’t control the White House and both Houses of Congress.
The Democrats and Democrat Industrial Complex, through every political storm, have kept their eye on the ball. The glue that keeps them together is that they understand the concept of "Power with Purpose". Don’t get me wrong, Dem politicians are as egregiously dishonest, corrupt, and transactional as any member of the political class. However, when it comes to voting and acting upon strategic decisions that will advance their big-picture leftist agenda they have nearly complete solidarity. On occasion, the media will produce the imagery of a fake Democrat hero along the lines of a Joe Manchin type, but with a deeper dive, we learn that they always vote the party line and only feel political independence and heroism to gain personal and political concessions.
The current Republican Intramural Competition for the Speaker’s Gavel conveys a party and its elected representatives that seek Power WITHOUT Purpose.
Both Kevin McCarthy and his adversaries for the Speaker’s Gavel are willing to sink the ship and perhaps even enlist Democrat support if they can get the votes to get the gavel. This has sparked a Republican Intramural Contest of sadly epic proportions creating an empty suit competition between politicians who are seeking power without purpose… just to get the job.
Even with all of their ignoble and sickening goals, the Democrats have a clear transformation purpose in mind for America, while it has become increasingly clear that Republican Politicians do not…
Until they do, these Republican Junior Varsity Intramurals will continue to bring defeat to the Republican Party and more importantly to America and The American Way.
