Who Really Didn't See This Coming?


With GOP support, Florida Senate panel backs closing gun show loophole [More]

By making "lesser of two evils" excuses and urging everyone to heed the voice of "pragmatism," GOP backstabbers and squishes have been rewarded for betrayals instead of punished. Had some prominent examples been made just a few times decades ago, followed by repeat examples when warranted, the line would be toed if not out of principle then out of self-preservation.

Instead, the longterm was sold out for the short term and we got phony "A" grades for conmen whose actions never lived up to their pledges. Did anyone really think most Republicans actually supported us, as opposed to had to suck up to us? And once they see they don't need to, did anyone really believe such creatures would stand by us?

You don't need to lobby real leaders to do what's right. They're already out in front of it and leading the charge.

  1. Gov DeSantis and House Speaker Oliva have both come out against this bill. I don't believe it's going anywhere except into the dustbin of history.
