We cats rarely concern ourselves with the well-being of Congressional Republicans, but the twelve members who were given the green light by Paul Ryan to vote against the tax scam must be in a jam.
That's because some dude named Corry Bliss from the "American Action Network" (i.e., Republican super-PAC) says the only way for the GOP to campaign in 2018 is on the huge giveaway that the party just gave to the top one percent.
"Every member of the Republican Party should be spending all of their [sic] time selling the tax plan," Bliss burbled. "Everything else is a waste of time and money."
Really? So what's an endangered House Republican who voted against it to do? Hope that the middle class is so in love with its $1.50-a-week raise that it looks the other way and votes GOP?
Or does a Republican House member — like Elise Stafanik, John Faso or Lee Zeldin, to name three from New York — not talk about the tax cut? If so, what should they talk about, exactly? The EPA Administrator who's trying to melt the polar ice caps? The Education Secretary who wants to destroy public schools? A State Department that's filled with empty desks while the Doomsday Clock ticks closer to midnight? A White House that wants to blow up the FBI? An Oval Office occupant who hires wife beaters and who's confessed on tape to assaulting women himself?
We despise these House Republicans who try to skate by on their alleged moderateness while they take marching orders from their odious Speaker. And there's so little that's positive for them to pivot to on the campaign trail this year that we're tempted to feel sorry for them. But we don't. We cats HISS.
