It doesn’t matter whether Republicans won the house. Mitch McConnel continues to be the speaker. And that’s a travesty for conservatives.
…I’ll still take the win over a total loss. At least the potential is there to apply some sort of brakes to the madness.
That's assuming that each and every Republican congressman votes along party lines. With such a slim margin, it's entirely possible that one or more Republican congressmen can be "persuaded" to vote with the Democrats on any number of issues.
...again, in what is already known as a country divided in half, first the media hyped up a red wave, then was happy to tout the failure of a red wave. In the meantime, the GOP "did" in fact take control of the House, and the democrats hardly have a mandate in an almost evenly divided Senate. This, the media does not tout. McConnell is not my pick, but he beats Pelosi by far. I look at the glass half full. It must be ol' Rush's positive thinking rubbing off on me. The way I look at it, flawed as the people in the country over 200 years ago were and flawed as we are now, I believe God did bless those who tried to build a country based on those principles we hold dear. And while we who support those principles may not be in the exact majority, there are far more of us now than over 200 years ago. Surely, in the end, God will support those who support a society founded on His laws.
Mark, this is so full of faith, grace, and trust. God is still on the throne and His mercy is from generation unto generation. This is a great post! I hope it mirrors the sentiments of others on this forum as much as it mirrors my own. Thank you, God bless you.
Just want to point out, Mitch is not in the house and thus not the speaker of the house. That will be Kevin McCarthy. As a Kentuckian, I am not proud that Mitch represents me or the GOP. Mitch has got to go. He is owned by the CCP.
…yes…..In making my overall point that the gop did, in fact, take back the house…which I believe is a good thing, I did blur some lines of who’s in what chamber. But again, there are many legitimate details to get mired down in. I’m not posting to do that. I posted for the sole reason to point out that if you believe that one party has gone entirely off the deep end, then the other party retaking the House and “ potentially “ restoring checks and balances is, at the very least, a good thing. To go back to Rush, he always pointed out that republicans often acted like losers…even when they won. All I’m saying is, taking back the House was a good thing. When I was first starting to pay attention to politics decades ago, democrats had controlled Congress for “ years”. It was almost a given. Are there problems? You bet. And madness surely may continue. But at least not at full speed.
Excellent video. The priest speaks plain and simple truth. Our society used to be based on Judeo-Christian values: the Ten Commandments. Not any longer.
Disgusting behavior from some of these so-called conservatives. They favor sodomite "marriage". Life Site has the Story: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/b...e=digest-catholic-2022-11-17&utm_medium=email ""BREAKING: Republicans join Democrats to advance same-sex ‘marriage’ bill in historic defeat for conservatives Twelve Republican senators joined with all Democrats to advance the bill, which is set to be Joe Biden's first major legislative victory on LGBT issues. (LifeSiteNews) – In perhaps the greatest defeat conservatives have ever suffered at the hands of Republicans, the Senate today advanced Democrats’ bill to enshrine same-sex “marriage” into federal law in a vote of 62 to 37. Twelve Republican senators joined all Democrats to move forward on the bill, the “Respect for Marriage Act,” including: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and Todd Young of Indiana. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska did not vote. Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky voted against the Respect for Marriage Act but refused to stake out a public position before the vote. Sen. John Thune of North Dakota, the GOP senator responsible for enforcing party discipline on important votes, also voted no, though he did not urge Republicans to oppose it. Democrats needed 10 Republicans to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster and begin formal debate on the bill. The legislation is now on a glide path to final passage, which would require just 51 votes and is likely to happen after the Senate’s Thanksgiving recess, CNN reported. Today’s vote came over the objections of many of the most prominent conservative groups in the United States, including the Heritage Foundation and Alliance Defending Freedom, thousands of Christian churches and institutions, and the overwhelming majority of Republican voters who oppose federal legislation to codify homosexual “marriage.” The Respect of Marriage Act makes the redefinition of marriage the law of the land, even in the event the Supreme Court overturns its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision that mandates legal recognition of same-sex “marriage” nationwide. The bill repeals the unenforced Defense of Marriage Act, which recognized marriage at the federal level as a union of one man and one woman and guaranteed states’ right to uphold traditional marriage, and requires the federal government and all 50 states to recognize homosexual “marriages” lawfully performed in any state.
…and this is why, despite my minor relief that the gop won the House, that I have been an independent for years. Republicans disappoint me almost as much as democrats. Really, it’s going to take God to step in, in one way or another. I just pray it’s not in ten or fifteen more years, but very soon.
