Lance did tell the audience that he opposes Trump’s proposed budget.
“Regarding the budget document, I do not support it,” he said, according to Politico. “The president proposes and Congress disposes.”
Who the hell does he think he's kidding? If it was put to a vote EXACTLY as submitted he'd vote yes. End of debate. They all would. They're afraid of being primaried, and their districts are gerrymandered so heavily tilting GOP they know their base will want the most rabid dog in the kennel in office.
There is no middle. Moderates are extinct. You better hate the fucking hippies, feminists, gays, atheists, public school teachers, unions, environmentalists, scientists, blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, the disabled, the unemployed, the press and Hollywood or get off the bus.The GOP Doomsday Calendar ends in November 2018.
Lance’s district is one of the Clinton districts.
Here is his tracking card from 538.com and these are his thoughts on Planned Parenthood.
same as before: either folks get the 2017 Congress in 2019, Trump gets a Congress that’s really filled up with mouthy mini-Trumps or the return of House Speaker Pelosi is just around the corner.
Not exactly a “profile in courage”.
OT:
Think just eliminating Spayd would have been enough. Then again, this decision may indeed well be to eliminate her…
In some ways, not so good. In others, a sensible admission that they just can’t do this job right.
That’s what I think too.
Or . … . President Pelosi?
nyet
“President Pelosi?”
That’d be a violation of the Hatch Act.
What is it with this “per Politico”? Are you condensing their stuff?
this is going to be the reality of the GOP for the next four years as they try to explain to their voters why they’re screwing them over. Even a 5% shift to the left nationally would have devastating results for the GOP
Is it a sense of doom that motivates these guys (Republicans in blue states and HRC districts) to fight so hard to make their constituents’ lives worse? They’re not even bothering to pretend that they’re moderate.
Hey NJ Dems - put out a good candidate and we can take his seat. Do it, and please do it right.
At least Rep. Lance isn’t a mealy mouthed, wishy-washy namby-pamby. Otherwise he could risk losing the support of his constituents, which could prove politically fatal with an election coming up and all.
The one good bit in the entire movie/play. ty.
In other words, Wikileaks provided Putin with enough dirt to blackmail Lance, just as Putin is blackmailing the rest of the Republican Senators and Congressman to do what he wants thanks to Assange
Oh but these Republican wimps do their jobs EXTREMELY Right!!!
