2024 Election Thoughts - # 4

Home stretch and the race intensifies. You can’t go through a news day without a talking head reminding us how many days are left.

One thing that concerns me as the candidates continue to concentrate on the damn swing states is their lack of attention to the Congressional races...and anything else that is happening outside the damn swing states. 

By Dana Summers, Orlando Sentinel (1988)

Speaking of Congress, it’s way past time for the head of the ticket to remind us of the miserable job Trump’s party has done on the legislative side of governing. Calling the 118th Congress a ‘do-nothing’ outfit insults all the past ‘do-nothing’ outfits. In the 1948 election, Harry Truman ripped the 80th Congress as ‘Do-Nothing’ when they passed 906 bills. The current House passed a historic low number of bills - 27. Instead of addressing the nation’s problems, today’s Republicans prefer to [1] challenge their own Speaker, [2] thwart any Democrat proposals and [3] investigate the ‘Biden Crime Family.’ I hope their constituents are happy.

I want to see the Harris-Walz ticket encourage the public to do their job and throw out these useless, power-obsessed parasites. Flip the House. Create a stable majority in the Senate while we’re at it and show the nation what a united government can do for the people.

Sadly, I can’t help but expect what happens after that. After averting the end of democracy, the Dems will do what our species always does with power. They will overplay their hand and include too many loopy lefty initiatives that turn off more of the electorate. Then, if the GOP is smart (no guarantee there), they will offer up less crazy candidates and win again.

But, until then, I’ll just throw in a few images (that is our first name after all) to remind you just how obscene the Party of Lincoln has become. Below are family Christmas pictures from Republican members of Congress…staunch Christians all…so they say. This is how they celebrate the ‘Prince of Peace.’

Please vote.
