It’s well known that Republican Speaker
of the House Paul Ryan doesn’t want to be in an actual leadership position; and
it’s also well known -enhanced by the campaign, and victory, of Donald Trump-
that Republicans did not want to win the
majority position and face having to reveal their true UniParty agenda.
The evidence of this UniParty
positioning has been staring the electorate in the face, repeatedly and brutally, since
candidate Donald Trump actually campaigned on key tenets of the Republican Party
and found himself being openly opposed by GOP leadership.
Now, a stunning discovery surfaces of
Paul Ryan’s Congressional Leadership
SuperPAC, congressionalleadershipfund.org,
actually campaigning for the Democrat, Conor Lamb, in the recent PA18
congressional race.
As evidenced by Big League Politics the Paul Ryan SuperPAC sent a
mailer to Pennsylvania CD-18 voters touting Lamb’s favorable position on gun
ownership rights:
Now, there will be some who think this
is just a bone-headed move by
Paul Ryan because the Democrats already held a +50,000 registration advantage
in the district and the SuperPAC didn’t know this mailer would actually end up
supporting Lamb. However, as mentioned, there’s a history here that tells
us “a mistake”
is likely not the case.
The real motive, based on an honest
review of history, is the professional UniParty apparatus knew that Democrat
Conor Lamb needed a lift to offset the cross party voting that was reflected in
the district voting (by over 20 points) for Donald Trump in 2016.
The DC Republican apparatus is quite
comfortable losing their majority position so long as they are not forced to
support Trump policies which are entirely against their financial
interests. [How Mitch McConnell Crushed The
Tea-Party]
Even before candidate Trump entered the
2016 presidential race, the agenda was visible for anyone who was
willing to admit it. In 2014 the same Republican leadership paid Democrats to vote against the Republican primary
winner of the Mississippi Senate race (Cochran -vs- McDaniel) simply because Mitch McConnell didn’t
like the idea of having an actual Republican in the seat.
Remember, this is the GOP wing of the
UniParty who operate on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce {DEEP DIVE} and support: comprehensive immigration
reform to include amnesty; lax border security to allow cheap labor; Omnibus spending as reflected in
their Obama budget-fulfillment votes; the retention of ObamaCare as mandated
by the U.S. CoC; the expansion of federal common core education standards; the Wall Streettrade
agenda to include TPP. All of these “DC-Republican”
positions are opposed by the current Republican President and the majority of
Republican voters.
Enhancing and emphasizing my argument
that this mailer as a deliberate effort to elect a Democrat, I would remind
everyone of a few brutally obvious points:
♦the Republican controlled senate voted
unanimously to block any Trump recess appointments (summer 2017);
♦and also the reality that both the
House and Senate had no legislative constructs prepared for a Trump victory in
January/February 2017;
♦and top off the cake of duplicity with
the fact it
was Republican controlled House
and Senate committees who willingly opened ridiculous investigations against
their own elected president claiming a ‘Vast Planetary Russian Collusion
Conspiracy’.
In short, both Republicans and Democrats
want the threat of Donald Trump removed.
There is no desire on the part of Paul
Ryan/Kevin McCarthy or Mitch McConnell/John Cornyn to actually win seats in
2018. These GOP “leaders” would just as soon lose their majority position
so they can go back to the comfortable indulgences of remaining in leadership
in the minority status.

average $113,700 per lawmaker. Lobbying
cost in 2016 - $3.1 billion spent – average $5.8 million per lawmaker. - Fox Research
In the minority the leadership of the
GOP are no longer threatened by President Trump and can hide behind the
smokescreen of loyal opposition.
Substantively nothing changes, and the
GOP leaders are just as well compensated in the minority by the lobbyist
industry within DC.
The only threat to the financial
interests of the GOP is President Donald Trump remaining in office and having
to actually face carrying out a conservative Trump agenda in 2019 and
2020. That Trump agenda is entirely against their “establishment
republican” interests.
The Paul Ryan mailer to elect a Democrat is just
another example of how corrupt the entire UniParty political apparatus is
within Washington DC. That truism is entirely why this MAGA graphic, from 2015,
remains accurate:

For
decades I called it a one-party system.
Republicans would campaign as conservatives and vote with the Democrats.
I called them Demo-Publicans. Eventually
we started calling them RINOs.
It
was clear that their loyalty was not to the Constitution or the Voters, but to
themselves. The US Congress was a happy
bi-partisan club. They received $millions from the lobbyists and return the
favor with their votes. It’s governance by bribery. They also receive threats
from special interests and that keeps them quiet and compliant. It’s governance
by fear.
When
these RINOs enter a campaign, they place themselves in the hands of a “professional”
Campaign
Manager,
who raises money. They launch vicious attacks on other Republicans to win the
primaries. They play it safe on the issues and offer nothing to change the
status quo.
We
can end this by restricting campaign contributions to individual voters only
for candidates on their ballot and cut out the special interests. Nothing will
change until we do this. If we do this, we will finally get good candidates. They
are trained to look good and become vapid robots reciting platitudes.
I
recommend you look at the Conservative Review Scorecard to find those in
Congress who cast unconstitutional votes and earn low scores. Large numbers of
Republicans and all Democrats have failing scores.
