The Speaker Problem

Voters are demanding that Republicans begin to restore the US economy, but Congress is packed with Liberals in both parties. A growing group of Republicans are in the fight to get all Republicans to begin to live up to their campaign promises. It will require a Speaker who will put Impeachment back on the table.


Constitutional Compliance Divide
Politicians can be divided into two groups, those who vote NO on Bills that are NOT Constitutional and those who vote YES on these Bills. Those who score 100% on various Scorecard websites like Conservative Review Scorecard never vote for a Bill that is unconstitutional.

Protect and Defend

These “purists” are a small minority, despite the fact that all elected politicians take an oath to “protect and defend” the US Constitution. They included retired House Reps Ron Paul TX and Paul Broun GA who both maintained 100% averages. Both are MDs and were referred to as “Doctor No”. Currently, Senators Mike Lee UT 100%, Rand Paul KY 93% and Ted Cruz TX 96% are the high scores in the Senate. In the House the high scores go to David Brat VA 100%, Gary Palmer AL 100%, Jim Bridenstine OK 96%, Louie Gohmert TX 96% and Mark Meadows NC 96%.

All politicians start at 100% and lose points with every vote for every Bill that includes violations to the US Constitution, so it is difficult to maintain a high average. A yes vote on a Continuing Resolution will cost points, because most of what is funded is unconstitutional activity. Maintaining a high score requires a “No” vote on almost every Bill.

All of the high scorers have agreed that all of the economic and social problems we have experienced in the US can be traced back to unconstitutional actions. The high scorers are “free market” supporters, who want government to operate within the limits imposed by the US Constitution (as written).

There are only 17 US House Reps with scores between 90% and 100% and a grade of A.  There are only 3 US Senators with scores between 90% and 100% and a grade of A.

Crossroads

We are at a crossroads with our politics in the US.  American socialists in both parties have ruined our economy with excessive immigration, bad trade deals, unnecessary regulations, environmental scams, bribery and government welfare costs.  Socialists want to forge ahead into communism to provide a “minimum wage workforce” for corporate interests.  Congress is packed with socialists, so you can see that they are reluctant to declare failure and return to a “free market” economy.  Many vested corporate and money interests support the socialist vision and are donating billions to campaigns to maintain the statue quo.  Congress is frozen, kicking the can down the road and waiting for the next big crash, hoping for voters to relax and let communism happen.  Voters are resisting. 

Recovery

Even the USSR and China had to introduce “free market” elements to their communist economies to survive. Western governments have aligned with the UN, our major global threat.  They are backing off because the global warming hoax failed and Europeans won’t allow any more increases to their electric power bills.  Wasteful, uber-expensive wind and solar won’t expand.  The global recession and sovereign debt have caused the global mood to reinforce nationalism.

We need to clean house and replace all of the low scoring politicians in 2016.  We need to find 200 free market candidates who can win. The US Congress is currently 75% socialist and 25% free market.  We need to replace 200 socialists in 2016 with free market restorers.
