HOMELAND SECURITY SHENANIGANS?

Liberal U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California abruptly withdrew his name from consideration to become the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives this week.

The news shocked Washington, D.C.  First, McCarthy was considered a lock to replace his liberal ally, outgoing U.S. Speaker John Boehner. as the “Republican” leader – to the extent the word “Republican” means anything anymore.

Also, lawmakers told us McCarthy was still actively lobbying for the post within a half hour of his shocking announcement.

Unreal …

Not long after, a salacious back story emerged offering an explanation as to McCarthy’s decision … an alleged affair with fellow left-leaning lawmaker Renee Ellmers of North Carolina (a.k.a. this establishment trick turner).

Now, a new twist …

Edits to McCarthy and Ellmers’ Wikipedia pages which made reference of the affair were traced back to … wait for it … the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).  Specifically to DHS offices in Springfield, Virginia.

“Ellmers is alleged to have been involved in an extra-marital affair with Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy since 2011,” the edit to Ellmers’ page noted.

The reference was removed, but not before it got screen-capped …

ellmers

Wow …

As we said in our initial treatment of the McCarthy-Ellmers allegations, we don’t really care if they were indeed “bumping uglies” in the corridors of power.  Obviously they will have to answer to their families for that – and address any hypocrisy in their prior political pronouncements – but, you know, whatever.

Assuming no tax dollars were wasted (or votes traded) in furtherance of the dalliance … is it our business?

Seriously: Don’t all of these “leaders” have affairs?  Didn’t Boehner?  Is that why they are contemptible?

As we opined here, our focus is on keeping the GOP from installing another left-leaning liberal in a leadership position.  And if you care about your wallet/ pocketbook … that should be your focus, too.

“The U.S. Congress cannot have yet another ‘meet the new boss, same as the old boss’ moment,” we wrote.  “Either it radically reinvents itself and starts representing its citizens again, or the Republic dies.”

Indeed …

Boehner rolled over for Obama from the day “Republicans” retook the House in 2011.  The debt ceiling debate?  He caved.  The fiscal cliff?  He caved.  Obamacare defunding?  He caved.  Obama’s executive amnesty?  Again … he caved.  All while his “conservative” GOP majority continued the profligate spending that has our national debt approaching the $18.5 trillion mark.

McCarthy would have continued down that path … which is why we’re glad he’s out of the race (irrespective of the reason).

Now, as for federal agencies spreading dirt online – assuming that’s really what happened here – we’ve got a big problem with that.

Maybe the People need to send a message to our elected leaders that we don’t care how slimy their personal lives are, just stay on message with what is Constitutionally right. This is how politicians get leveraged into voting for things that are totally against the interest of their constituents.

In a statement later, Ellmers said: “As someone who has been targeted by completely false accusations and innuendo, I have been moved by the outpouring of support and prayers from my colleagues, constituents and friends. Now I will be praying for those who find it acceptable to bear false witness.”

So much for that leadership and governance stuff. Takes to long; too much work. Not enough media exposure to help me get contribution for reelection. It’s a sad, sorry day In American when political theatre to get reelected replaces doing the job the electorate sent you to do. And that day is now.

One of the side effects of this mess with Republican leadership is that it appears to be shoving the problems of the Hillary and Democrats off the front page. This is a mess and it deserves coverage, but the Republicans should quietly try to get this problem solved and off the front page and nightly NEWS. There may be some in-fighting and disagreement, but this should be taking place without exposing the internal turmoil within the party. I have a tendency to think egos are ruling the day.

C'mon now, U know Better October 9, 2015 at 2:32 pm

Yeah…if the GOP hid it…the media would not publicize it I’m sure…

I’ll shoot the RNC an E-mail and suggest that it’s the Republicans’ actions that have the media attacking them…not the media’s corruption, along with the bidding of the Democrat Party..That should fix it.

And I’m sure FITS would drop it…if we ask him…(:

Reply
erneba October 9, 2015 at 2:39 pm

What don’t you understand? I said it deserves coverage, but the Republicans should be careful, as not to overexpose the situation in public by sniping and arguing with each other. That should be done in a smarter way, and get solved sooner without revealing too much. We know the problem exists, and it will get coverage, as well it should.
