GOP hypocrits

For the better part of my 43 years on this planet, the GOP has been the party of hardcore foreign policy hawks who were anti-Russia and anti-Iraq and -Iran and anti-communist China and North Korea. That has been the case dating back to Ronald Reagan, whose tough stances on communism helped bring down the former Soviet Union, and who played a critical role in freeing American hostages from Iran.

I have heard for years the likes of John McCain, whom until his dying day I harbored a great deal of respect for, push back against the former and current communist states. McCain's "friend" Lindsey Graham also appeared to be one of those hawks, as were most of the Republicans.

My how times have changed.

Lindsey Graham has become a puppet for Vladimir Putin, allowing the illiterate moron in the White House to make maneuver after maneuver that has helped the likes of Putin, Assad in Syria, Erdogan in Turkey and the North Korean dictator among others. Despite these horrific moves by 45, Graham has done little more than occasionally admonish Dumb Donald. Very ineffectual Lindsey!!!

If it was just Graham, than I could offer the party a slight pass, but he is not alone. In fact, Moscow Mitch McConnell has allowed a communist company to invest money $200 million in his home state of Kentucky. Low-information Congressmen like Jim Jordan (Ohio) and Devin Nunes (California) - both soulless men - have both carried the water for Trump, and by extension Putin and sold out our Kurdish allies. The next terrorist attack is on you fellas.

Lets review, these men are offering the criminal in the White House a pass for holding back defense money for the Ukraine. That money was being used to fight off the Russians, who are currently warring with Ukraine. That sentence, because it is true, makes both Ronald Reagan and Charlie Wilson rollover in their graves.

Remember Charlie Wilson was a GOP Congressmen who helped appropriate ungodly sums of money for Afghani rebels in the 1980s to help fight the soviets, who at the time were invading Afghanistan.

These same soulless men have allowed Erdogan to invade Syria and commence a genocide of our Kurdish allies. Trump, did I mention he is a criminal, has tons of business interests in Turkey, said nothing as Erdogan decided to "clean out" the Kurds from northern Syria. And of course the GOP, after some minimal grumbling, has allowed Turkey to go unpunished. And for those of you who think sanctions on Turkey are enough, you would be wrong, because it has not slow Erdogan in the slightest.

What has happened to the GOP is SICK and TWISTED. I have never seen 250 white men cower to one man like this since Nuremburg. The Republicans, in fear of losing their House and Senate seats, will back a buffoon who has no idea what he is doing, and will sell out American foreign policy. No seat in Congress is worth selling out your principals and soul for.

So the next time you hear some Republican somewhere making the case that they will maintain the legacy of the great Ronald Reagan or George HW Bush or John McCain, remember, it's just a corny line they are feeding you to steal your vote.
