Chairslinger Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 15 minutes ago, Jason said: I still remember a bonkers argument I had on this board probably almost a decade ago now. It was some bill or another that got passed with a bipartisan vote. And one of the conservatives that still posted here at the time insisted without shame or doubt or self awareness that the conservatives who went out of their way to keep X out of the bill now deserved a huge amount of credit for getting X done. It was like arguing with a funhouse mirror as he totally believed that something Dems were responsible for, and which they had to give concessions to get....was now something Republicans could take credit for because they ultimately voted for the bill. I always remember this argument in moments like this because Dems need to be aware that if they vote to support ANY Republican for Speaker they now own everything that Speaker does. For instance, as far as right wing talking points going forward they will have essentially endorsed the impeachment of Joe Biden.... I understand there might be political calculus to eventually supporting someone in some scenario, but they damn well better make sure it's worth it because Republicans will bludgeon them with every horrible thing they do from now until Nov. '24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now presumably we have to stand by for the "No, but seriously, are you ACTUALLY gonna vote for this guy on the floor?" vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
