And that is the REAL problem
The REAL problem is that we've lost a lot of elections in the last 5 years. Accordingly, we don't have the votes to pass our agenda. Until Biden is gone, we're not going get much of what we want.
The last time the Republicans held all the cards, we saw what they were willing to do. Nothing. That's the real problem. They are center left posing as conservatives.
None of these people cared. I didn't hear boo from Matt Gaetz when Trump was making Barack Obama look like a fiscal conservative. And bear in mind that these people voted against a spending bill that cut discretionary spending. This had nothing to do with policy.
True. But that is beside the point. Gaetz and those like him are natcons who still pursue a mixed economy (meaning not free). The issue is where the money is going. Team Gaetz wants to shut off the spigot of money going to Ukraine. That is the policy disagreement. Me. I want to shut off the spigot completely.
Gaetz doesn't say it's beside the point. He says McCarthy spent too much, but he doesn't have the credibility to make that allegation.
So who's the anti-Ukraine finding speaker they hope to get, and what's the plan to pass budgets through a pro-Ukraine Senate and White House into law?
Ok. Thankful he is making the point now even though he isn't consistent.
Plan? Who said he needs a plan? That is asking too much from a Republican. A little backbone was good to see though.
I don't think this hurt a conservative agenda at all. McCarthy worked a bad channel deal with the Democrats to keep giving money to Ukraine after publicly siding with Republicans and against the CR. Continuing Resolutions should be rejected out of hand. They are a tool to grow government. They aren't responsible governing, conservative, helping Rs win elections. It ruling against the will of a large majority of R voters.
That's silly talk. I'm all for passing appropriations bills, but if they fail to get the votes (as they did this time) a CR can't be off the table. And there's no reason why a CR has to grow government. In fact, they generally leave funding at the previous year's levels.
Furthermore, Gaetz helped kill a CR that cut spending. Don't you get that? The crappy CR that we got was because the same dumbasses who vacated the chair helped kill a stopgap measure that cut spending. So yes, they (with the cooperation of Democrats) hurt the conservative agenda.
And of course, all of this is a very useful diversion to keep from talking about things like a crappy economy, inflation, a **** show on the border, rampant violent crime, and slimy dealings with the Chinese. Democrats are thrilled with this.
I can't comment on Gaetz personally. I don't know his motivations. I do know that the same things were said about Cruz a decade ago. Turned out he was doing the right thing then. So I don't trust the narrative now that is used against those on the Right.

Same old **** from the establishment. Anybody who fights is a self promoter/grifter. It never fails.
