GOP Senator: ‘My Party Might Not Deserve To Lead’

[kaz]

“Never has a party abandoned and fled its principles and deeply held beliefs so quickly.”

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) took aim at his own party over its unwavering support of President Donald Trump.

“Never has a party abandoned and fled its principles and deeply held beliefs so quickly as my party did in the face of the nativist juggernaut,” Flake said on Thursday in a speech to the National Press Club, according to the Arizona Republic. “We have become strangers to ourselves.”

Flake, who is not seeking re-election, said:

“If we are going to cloister ourselves in the alternative truth of an erratic leader, if we are going to refuse to live in the world that everyone else lives in and reckon with the daily reality that they face, including the very real anxiety that they feel, then my party might not deserve to lead.”​

He called on the Republican Party to act now to “mitigate and repair the damage” caused by Trump.

Who in the Republican Party has enough balls and patriotism to act? Certainly not cowardly scum like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

From the guy who was told he wasn't fit to be in the GOP party ...

Wow, you're onto something there Pocahontas.

Neither party deserves too much power, obviously.

We need a strong and viable Third Party to center things before this shit goes off the rails.

Nice to see you think Constitutionalists and Communists should compromise.

“When comparing criminal indictments of those serving in the executive branch of presidential administrations it's so lopsided as to be ridiculous. Yet all I ever hear is how corrupt the Democrats are. So why don't we break it down by president and the numbers.

Obama (D) - 8yrs in office. zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences. so the next time somebody describes the Obama administration as "scandal free" they aren't speaking wishfully, they're simply telling the truth.

Bush, George W. (R) - 8yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.

Clinton (D) - 8yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. one conviction. one prison sentence. that's right nearly 8yrs of investigations. tens of millions spent and 30yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.

Bush, George H. W. (R) - 4yrs in office. one indictment. one conviction. one prison sentence.

Reagan (R) - 8yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.

Carter (D) - 4yrs in office. one indictment. zero convictions and zero prison sentences.

Ford (R) - 2 1/2 yrs in office. one indictment and one conviction. one prison sentence. Pardoned Richard Nixon.

Nixon (R) - 6yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences.

Johnson (D) - 5yrs in office. zero indictments. zero convictions. zero prison sentences.

So, let’s see where that leaves us. in the last 53 years Democrats have been in office for 25 of those years while Republicans held it for 28. in their 25yrs in office Democrats had a total of three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one prison sentence. that's one whole executive branch official convicted of a crime in two and a half decades of Democrat leadership.

In the 28yrs that Republicans have held office over the last 53yrs they have had a total of(a drum roll would be more than appropriate), 120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials. 89 criminal convictions and 34 prison sentences handed down. That's more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. If you want to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they aren't really but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However, Clinton wasn't found guilty while Nixon resigned and was pardoned by Ford. so those only serve to make Republicans look even worse.

With everything going on with Trump and his people right now, it's a safe bet Republicans are going to be padding their numbers a bit real soon. So let's just go over the numbers one more time shall we. 120 indictments for Republicans. 89 convictions and 34 prison sentences. Those aren't "feelings" or "alternate facts" those are simply the stats by the numbers. Republicans are, and have been for my entire lifetime, the most criminally corrupt party to hold the office of the presidency.”

Your ignorance does not an argument make. The criminal enterprise known as the Democrat party, never seems to find any criminals in its midst. Who would have guessed?

Even when the party of morons (like you) have all the power in D.C......somehow you can't seem to charge and convict all that many democrat "criminals."
Why is that???

You are free to argue that your fucked up party shows much more leniency than democrats.....but even your mommy would say that you're full of shit.............LOL

GOP senator says his party ‘might not deserve to lead’ considering how it has backed President Trump

Even when conservatives win elections, they still lose.

When will conservatives understand that their only hope is the Article V movement? No one in the federal government represents them, and never will.

That's right, no border walls, just a temporary tax cut Dims will repeal in 4 years.

Enjoy it while it lasts, that is, if you can afford the tariffs along with it.

Well, the GOP has had its chance. The fact that's in two pieces was always going to be a problem.

We'll know a lot more in a few months.

The GOP has had PLENTY of opportunities to distance themselves from Trump but time and time again have decided to choose party and more specifically, their own political careers over the needs and best interest of the country.

The GOP ran on repealing Obamacare, and were flabbergasted when Hillary lost. Before that, they passed a repeal of Obamacare knowing Obama would veto it, but with Trump in there to sign it, they refused to repeal again cuz they knew he would sign it.

That alone is enough for the Dims to sweep back into power.

Of course, Trump will be blamed, however.

 

[BluesLegend]

And the other 99.999% of Republicans disagree with Flake. Come here you poor libs,
