On the resignation of US House Speaker Boehner and the lessons the DC GOP hasn’t learned:
“I don’t mean to be offensive, but Kevin McCarthy? Really?”
“I’m concerned that the Republicans don’t learn their lessons on Capitol Hill,” Levin continued. Levin said that the Republican establishment sees conservatives as people who have to be “managed” and “messaged” to.
“And I want Eric Cantor to know, since he came out of Manhattan over the weekend in order to defend his friend John Boehner, I want you to know something, Mr. Cantor: We fully understand how our government works. We fully understand that you guys just have the House and the Senate, and we fully understand that when the Democrats just have the House and the Senate, and there’s a Republican president, somehow, they know what to do, somehow, they get things done. Your day has passed, get out of the way, and let some energetic conservatives who really mean what they say do what they need to do.”
Levin said the establishment of the Republican Party is more than willing to cede the budget battle over Planned Parenthood funding to President Barack Obama.
He’s right – the base is tired of DC GOPers going belly up. That might be cute for a puppy to get its belly rubbed but this constant “we can’t win so why even try” has worn thin. It proves that you folks aren’t worthy if you can’t even put up a fight, that you throw in the towel right from the get go. We can deal better with “lost by fighting tooth and naile” than by the Failure Theater of “lost by not even wanting to show up”.
Just take your pinkies and go home, willya? We’ll even give you one (no charge):
